😅Are you Kim at the met gala in your osteo treatments? Do you struggle to relax, meditate, fall asleep? Did you ever think about how this chronic stressed state could be affecting your digestion? Or contributing to symptoms of IBS? In our latest podcast episode we discuss the role of the nervous system in digestion. Our autonomic nervous system has two branches— sympathetic or “fight or flight” 🏃🏽‍♀️ + parasympathetic “rest and digest” 🧘‍♀️ ⚖️ A balance of the two is 🔑 However, we often see patients in a heightened ⚡️sympathetic⚡️ state. Their bodies are in survival mode— and internally their energy is diverted away from their digestive system. Our goal in treatment is the increase your 🌊parasympathetic state🌊— bring you into a state of rest and digest so your body feels safe to focus back on nourishment and repair. 🩻We can help our bodies do the same at home with things like deep breathing, humming, and movements to open potential restriction along the spine like the cat-cow pose. These can directly impact digestion by promoting inhibition of our sympathetic nerves along the spine, and stimulation of our parasympathetic nerves (vagus & pelvic nerves) along our head/neck and tailbone.
