Is Anxiety Your Body’s Gut Alarm?
Jun 18, 2025 5:06 am
Hi
If your mind feels like it’s running a marathon while your body’s too tired to move… you might be caught in a silent war between your gut and brain.
Here’s the truth most people miss:
Your gut produces up to 90% of your serotonin — your happy hormone.
So if your digestion is off, your mood can crash.
If your microbiome is inflamed, your thoughts can spiral.
Here’s 2 simple tricks for you:
Trick #1 – 20-Chew Rule
Start counting your chews today.
Chew each bite 20 times — not for your jawline, but for your gut lining.
Proper chewing signals your gut to prepare enzymes and reduces fermentation (a key trigger for gas, bloating & anxiety flares).
Trick #2 – Warm Water Sitting Sip
Drink a glass of warm water sitting down — not on-the-go.
This activates your parasympathetic nervous system (“rest & digest” mode), easing gut inflammation and mental panic signals within minutes.
These aren’t magic tricks. They’re ancestral wisdom backed by gut science.
Here’s what I want you to ask yourself today:
Am I feeding my anxiety with the wrong habits… or calming it with conscious rituals?
If that question hits home, , it’s time we talk.
