Ever have one of "those" days where everything feels like it’s too much?

Hey, Can you believe, we are almost 1/2 way through September! I don't know about you but there is defiantly a shift in the seasons. In Aus we head into Summer and it's so lovely to feel the warmth of the sun again. I love Summer :) Beach, Waves, sun and ice cold drinks. Im noticing along with many friends and family members, the struggles in their immune systems. The cold is becoming more of a lingering nuisance than before. Do you agree? Im a huge believer that the gut is the powerhouse to function well. Most things can stem form an imbalance in the gut, such as inflammation, IBS, weight gain, skin irritations. But what about moods, anxiety, stress and libido???? What we feed our body ultimately determines our brain function. Analogy. If you fuel your car with the wrong petrol it won't run. So what is the gut-brain axis!Ever have one of "those" days where everything feels like it’s too much, your to-do list is judging you, and your stress level is out of control? 🙃 The gut-brain axis is like a two-way communication system between your gut (the digestive system) and your brain. These two are constantly sending signals to each other through nerves, hormones, and gut bacteria. Basically what happens in your gut can affect your mood, energy, and even your stress levels, while your brain’s emotions and mental state can impact digestion and gut health. For example, ever notice how stress makes your stomach upset or how a bad gut day leaves you feeling moody or fatigued? That’s your gut-brain axis at work! It’s why gut health plays a huge role in mental wellness, and why maintaining a healthy balance in the gut can reduce stress, improve sleep, and even boost energy. When cortisol "the stress hormone" runs wild, it messes with this system, leading to inflammation, poor sleep, low energy, and even more stress. In a nut shell... The gut-brain axis is the link between your gut and your brain, constantly chatting away. When cortisol jumps in, it messes up the signal, leading to poor sleep, stress overload, inflammation, road block for weigh loss, and let’s not forget... zero energy. It’s like having a loud toddler interrupting every important moment. 😅 So what's the solution?? Taking car of your gut health and lovering your cortisol. 5 Tips to Keep Your Gut (and Cortisol) Happy:
