If you’ve tried every diet, supplement, and gut-health hack under the sun — and your digestion still feels off — this episode is for you.
In this conversation, Jessa unpacks why chronic stress and trauma could be at the root of your digestive struggles, even if no one has ever helped you make that connection before.
You’ll learn:
💛 Why your nervous system literally runs your digestion — and what happens when it’s stuck in survival mode
💛 How chronic tension patterns and restricted breathing physically impact your gut
💛 Why trauma disconnects you from hunger, fullness, and craving cues (and how that shows up in real life)
💛 Why this isn’t a failure of discipline or self-control — it’s a nervous system experience
Plus: Jessa invites you into a grounding pause to help you stay present with your body as you listen.
