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.
