193: Is It Anxiety...Or Your Stomach? Understanding The Gut-Anxiety Connection

If you’ve ever felt like your anxiety lives in your stomach, you’re not alone. Digestive issues like nausea, bloating, urgency, cramping, and food sensitivity are incredibly common, and incredibly frustrating, when you're dealing with anxiety and panic.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with years of daily stomach symptoms, constant testing, food fear, and the anxiety spiral that so many of you know all too well.

We’ll dive into:

  • The powerful connection between your brain and your gut
  • Why your symptoms aren’t all in your head (but also not all about anxiety)
  • The pain points of living with stomach anxiety
  • Why endless medical testing doesn’t always give you answers
  • What actually helps - without restriction, obsession, or shame

Whether you’ve struggled with IBS, panic around bathroom access, or food avoidance, this episode will help you feel seen and give you real tools to begin healing.
