**Can Stress Damage Your Gut and Immune System?**
Stress doesn't just affect your mood—it affects your entire body.
In this video, I explain how chronic stress changes blood flow, disrupts gut function, and can contribute to inflammation, immune dysfunction, and autoimmune flare-ups.
We discuss:
• Why blood is diverted away from your digestive system during stress.
• How chronic stress can worsen conditions like **Crohn's disease** and **ulcerative colitis**.
• The connection between stress, intestinal permeability ("leaky gut"), and inflammation.
• Why chronic stress can actually weaken your immune system and make you more susceptible to infections.
This is one of the reasons I don't just teach nutrition. Over the past two decades, I've learned that helping people recover from chronic disease often requires addressing both the body **and** the mind. Hyper-nourishing nutrition gives your cells what they need to heal, while reducing chronic stress helps create the environment where healing can occur.
I've seen this approach help people with inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune diseases, anxiety, and many other chronic conditions.
If you'd like to learn my complete protocol, my online class **6 Steps to Reversing Autoimmune Disease with Supermarket Foods** is **FREE through August 10** for Chronic Disease Awareness Month at **GoodbyeLupus.com**.
Have questions? Join me every **Wednesday at 12:30 PM Pacific** for **Wellness Wednesday** on YouTube Live, where I answer your health questions and provide free coaching.
And if you're looking for daily guidance, accountability, and personalized coaching, the next **6 Week Rapid Recovery Group** begins **August 21**. We still have spots available, and we'd love to help you on your healing journey.
