Hey ladies!

Few weeks ago we got real about poop (yes, we went there!), and this week we're diving into something equally important but rarely discussed: how our emotions can literally show up in our bodies.

Ever had a day where your stomach was in knots, your head was pounding, and you felt like you had run a marathon - except you hadn’t moved from your chair?

You chug water, take deep breaths, maybe even pop a painkiller, but nothing seems to help. Then your doctor runs some tests and says, “You’re perfectly healthy.”

Excuse me?

Your Brain’s Favorite Party Trick

Your mind is sneaky. Instead of saying, “Hey, you’re stressed, let’s deal with it,” it might decide to throw you a migraine, give you a case of "mystery stomach cramps,” or make your entire body feel like it got run over by a truck.

Some common ones?

And the worst part?

These symptoms can be so real that you start thinking something is seriously wrong. Cue late-night Googling, worst-case scenario spirals, and convincing yourself you have a rare disease.

(Fun fact: This is exactly why we focus on cortisol, inflammation & metabolism inside the Metabolic Reset Program—because sometimes, weight, bloating, and fatigue are all part of the same story.)

Blame it on your stress hormones.

When your brain senses emotional distress, it sounds the alarm - releasing cortisol and adrenaline, which mess with everything from digestion to muscle tension to sleep.

So, while your doctor might say “nothing’s wrong,” what they really mean is: Nothing is physically wrong. Your body is reacting to stress, and it needs a different kind of care.

And maybe worst of all? Other people don’t get it. They say, "Just relax!" or "It’s probably nothing." But when your body is literally screaming at you, "just relaxing" isn’t exactly an option.

This isn’t about “thinking positive” or ignoring your symptoms. It’s about treating both your mind and body like the messy, intertwined duo they are.

There’s a reason stress and metabolism are so closely linked.

The way we approach this inside the Metabolic Reset Program is by working on the body’s stress response while making sure you’re fueling it right—so these symptoms stop showing up in the first place.

No quick fixes. Just small, doable changes that make a real difference over time.
