So many people are having digestive issues and they're changing their diet and they're doing all

these things or taking supplements, but it's not really working. And that's probably because

there's something else going on that I want to share with you today. It's kind of a hidden source

of digestive problems that you need to be aware of. And when I tell you this, it'll make sense.

And you maybe already knew it, but it's called stress, okay? And I'm going to talk about the

specific types of stress that influence our digestion the most, but this stress digestive

problem link is huge. So I'm going to go through exactly what happens when you go through stress

and this will kind of be mind blowing when you think about it. But if you even look at the

autonomic nervous system in relationship to the two different systems, well, actually there's

three. You have the sympathetic flight or fight mechanism and then you have the parasympathetic

nervous system, which is also called rest and digest. Most of the healthy digestion occurs

in a parasympathetic low stress state. But you also have another part of the autonomic nervous

system, the system that works on automatic called the enteric nervous system. And that's another

system that's directly embedded into your digestive system. And that links right up to the

the sink called the vaguest nerve that goes up to the brain. And this is why whatever's going

on down here is going to affect up here. But it's a two way street. Whatever's going on up here,

as in stress, can go down here as well. And that is what we're going to be focusing on today.

When we talk about digestion, if we take a look at the foundational part of digestion,

it's a cell. And it's a single layer cell in your small intestine in the large that's called

the entro site. Okay. Now in the colon, it's usually referred to as the colonocyte. But basically,

it's a little cell that absorbs things, minerals, trace minerals, vitamins, amino acids,

and longer amino acids called peptides, and lipids, which are fats, and B12, and even bile.
