Stress and the Body




What are the symptoms of stress “overflowing”?


One of the first questions to ask is how well we fall asleep and stay asleep. As the body is stressed it will use more B-vitamins. When B-vitamins are low, we tend to see less melatonin produced, which negatively impacts our sleep. It can look like difficulty falling asleep, racing thoughts, getting stuck on thoughts, or more negative thoughts. These are common symptoms when the body is stressed and having low B-vitamins. Additionally, our genetics are also impacted. Our genetics play a role in how B-vitamins are absorbed and used. So, supplementing with a quality B-complex is a good first step in managing stress. B-vitamins can boost melatonin and serotonin production, which is calming racing thoughts, improving happy thoughts, and improving sleep quality.


Another sign our body is stressed is poor digestion. Our digestive tract is home to 80% of our neurotransmitters. The gut-brain connection is the process of neurotransmitters going from the gut to the brain and back. As our gut is unhealthy, we tend to see an unhealthy mind. We tend to also a body under stress having a harder time digesting. Those having difficulty having a bowel movement daily or having loose stools need to start by healing the gut. Ways to heal the gut include cleaning up the diet by low glycemic eating or adding a supplement like magnesium or fiber to loosen the stools.  Healing the gut is an important part to managing stress and how our body reacts to it.
