Ep 403The Gut-Brain Axis: How Stress, Perception & the Subconscious Shape Digestive Health | Ep 403
What if your gut-brain axis isn’t just a “cute concept”… but the thing running the show?Erin is giving you the FULL class from last week’s Funk’tional Nutrition Academy Open House, breaking down how stress, subconscious patterns, and nervous system signaling directly shape digestion. This one’s for my practitioners, but honestly, if your gut isn’t improving, you’re going to want to hear this too.You’ll understand how perception shapes digestion, why healing requires both gut work and nervous system work, and how to start interrupting the loop that keeps symptoms stuck.In this episode:The role of subconscious patterning in shaping your symptom experience, and how those patterns can be changedHow neuroplasticity becomes a tool for gut healing, and why your brain is not stuck in old patternsHow shifting out of a constant “on guard” state can restore motility, enzyme output, and real digestive functionThe “prediction loop” your brain runs after repeated gut symptoms, and how it primes your body to reactHow your brain can misinterpret normal gut sensations as “dangerous”, through visceral hypersensitivityResources mentioned:The Funk’tional Nutrition Academy Open House ends March 24th.
