Do you struggle with ✨ D I G E S T I O N ✨ ?
The brain-gut connection
The gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to emotions. That second brain in your gut is called your enteric nervous system, which communicates with your brain via the autonomic nervous system.
When this becomes irritated by stress or even certain types of food, it can send signals to your brain that can trigger mood changes, digestion issues…
All things pertaining to your digestive system takes place in your parasympathetique nervous system. But if your body is in STRESS mode (sympathetic dominance) it Will signal to your brain that it is not time to digestfood because your body thinks it is in danger.
Without chiropractic care, stress can cause the central nervous system to go into a protective State of fight or flight. When your body is always in this state, it starts to take a major toll on your body. If we are always in the « fight or flight » mode, our body Will function at the bare minimum. Our Energy will be low, we can get sick more often and our digestion system won´t function properly.
When your brain is able to communicate clearly with your gut, it creates a healthy digestive system because everything is connected.
Chiropractic care optimizes your body´s functions, including the digestion progress. It allows your body to tap into a state of parasympathetic, which is also called your rest and digestive system. Consistent chiropractic adjustments takes you OUT of that « fight of flight » and allows your body to enter the rest and digest mode.
