The Unexpected Barrier to Health & Wellness: How Stress can Derail Your Health.
Are you an individual striving to overcome metabolic and digestive challenges but finding it surprisingly challenging? Sometimes, the biggest obstacles to our healing are not the ones we expect. One of the biggest, often unexpected barrier that I see holding so many back when it comes to gut and metabolic health is stress. Now most of us experience stress everyday which our body can handle over however constant ongoing stress can cause a way of havoc on our health, even if you are eating right.
What is this Unexpected Barrier?
While many might focus on diet and exercise, a less obvious but significant hurdle is chronic stress. This barrier affects many individuals with metabolic and digestive conditions, impacting their ability to achieve wellness in ways they might not even realize.
Why is it Overlooked?
Often, this barrier is overlooked because stress is seen as a mental issue, not a physical one. It's frequently misunderstood by both patients and some healthcare professionals, who may not recognize how deeply stress impacts metabolic and digestive functions.
