If you’re a high-achieving perfectionist who struggles with bloating or constipation, this might be the missing link you didn’t expect: your nervous system.

I’ve been there. For years, I pushed myself hard, chasing straight A’s as a kid, setting impossibly high standards, always “on.” Meanwhile, my gut was silently struggling with chronic constipation.

It wasn’t until I started addressing my nervous system — that deep connection between brain and gut called the enteric nervous system — that real healing began.

Here’s the deal: stress, anxiety, and even trauma can disrupt your gut-brain axis, causing slow digestion, bloating, constipation, and even shifts in your gut bacteria.

When your nervous system is stuck in “fight or flight” or “freeze,” your body literally slows digestion to prioritize survival — which makes symptoms worse.

Supporting your nervous system with simple tools like deep belly breathing, mindful eating, gentle movement, and vagus nerve stimulation can make a huge difference.

✨ DM me “ROOT” if you’re ready to get to the root cause of your gut issues — not just the food, but how your nervous system, stress, and high-achiever wiring may be keeping you stuck in the bloat–constipation cycle.

I’ve been there myself, and now I help other driven women regulate their system and restore real gut relief.

No pressure, just a real convo to explore what’s going on and whether support could help.

Cutting more foods isn’t the fix — it’s part of the problem 😬

If you’re stuck in the bloat/constipation spiral and eating fewer and fewer “safe” foods… this post is for you ⬆️

Drop “BLOAT” if that’s your struggle or “2” if you’re more backed up than a Monday morning inbox 💩 and I’ll send you a free guide to help.

If you’re bloated every day, need Miralax just to go #2, and feel heavy and backed up even though you’re “eating healthy”… it’s a sign you have a MOTILITY problem.

Motility refers to how quickly things move through your digestive system—and when it slows down, food and waste get stuck. The result? Bloating, constipation, and that “ugh” feeling in your gut that won’t go away.

…AKA you unbuttoning your jeans by 2pm and wondering why it’s been three days since your last real p**p 😩

Here’s the part most people miss:

👉 A lot of bloating is actually a constipation issue.

And if you don’t address the motility piece first, nothing else will stick.

When I work with clients struggling with chronic bloat + irregularity, we start with motility—because once your digestion gets moving, everything else becomes easier.

That means:
✔ nervous system + stress support
✔ mineral repletion
✔ building a consistent daily rhythm
✔ improving stomach acid, enzymes + bile flow
✔ and yes—adding in motility-boosting foods every single day

If you’re tired of feeling heavy, stuck, and bloated no matter how “healthy” you eat…

Mid-summer photo dump ☀️

Highlight is definitely FINALLY buying my hammock and swinging under the trees doing nothing - 11/10 recommend

Reminder to soak up the little moments, do a lot more of nothing, treat yourself to some oysters and gelato, and buy yourself the hammock so you can relax under a tree and give your nervous system the best gift ever 🤍
