Gastrointesinal Issues

Elevated cortisol levels, particularly in response to chronic stress, can have a significant impact on the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Cortisol dysregulation can impair the digestion and absorption of nutrients in your body. 

An impaired Gl system causes maldigestion, malabsorption of nutrients, leaky gut and gut dysbiosis. Managing cortisol-related GI issues typically involves addressing underlying stressors including managing stress, making dietary modifications and introducing supplementation.
