#37: How Stress Fuels Reflux and Heartburn (and What to Do About It)

If your reflux, heartburn, or stomach pain always seems to flare when life gets busy or overwhelming, you’re not alone, and you’re not imagining it.

In this episode, we're diving into the science behind the stress-stomach connection and how your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system state might be the hidden reason your symptoms keep sticking around, even when you're “doing everything right.”

You'll learn how stress physically impacts digestion, how negative thought spirals can intensify symptoms, and most importantly, what you can do to break the cycle. These simple mindset shifts and nervous system strategies can create big changes in how your body feels.

In This Episode:

• How the vagus nerve links your stress response to your digestion

• Why stress slows motility, reduces stomach acid, and causes reflux

• How your internal dialogue could be fueling your symptoms

• Simple mindset tools to calm your nervous system and reduce symptoms
