Stress with a nervous bowel is common among women. The Vitamin Clerk explains how to leverage the Protect-Maintain-Boost biohack with supplements that promote resiliency to stress and mental conditioning.
Having difficulty coping with stressful situations? A disease component is evident for many people in the form of a nervous bowel. Women over men are diagnosed with a nervous bowel (or spastic colon). In this blog you’ll learn a Mental Strength Hack for women that promotes mental conditioning and resiliency to stress. Like exercise, you're able to lift more and go longer.
A little stress can be helpful. It motivates us to pay more attention. It is conducive to learning. Mentally strong women cope with stress by using habits that reposition their behavior and attitude. But for some there is a disease component whereby supplementation may provide relief.
Do it for the long run. Your goal is a better quality of life. Supplementation doesn't entirely mean a quick fix when you're nervous and anxious. The right strategy actually is conditioning your body's resiliency to stress. Combine these functional supplements. They are directed at your brain's health and regulating the brain-gut axis. Plus they enable neuroprotective processes that benefit your brain and nervous system.
The Issue: Nervous Bowel | Anxious | Mental Fatigue | Headaches
These symptoms may indicate when you're having difficulty coping with stressful life situations. We all have looked for external ways to improve mental energy and counterbalance our daily stress. This is why functional energy beverages are so popular. They contain many ingredients for immediate energy. Some of these functional ingredients include carnitine, tyrosine, caffeine, and MCT oil.
I would be concerned about taking them repeatedly. It's an expensive habit. Plus, you might be surprised at the high quantity of sugar, preservatives and artificial sweeteners. Another issue is that some ingredients are habit forming and cause withdrawal symptoms.
Protect healthy brain-gut function | Your mood and response to stress influences your brain-gut regulation
Researchers are connecting the dots between intestinal permeability, the brain-gut, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Our gut has many types of nerve and immune cells. The intestinal barrier is the interface to all of these cell types. Our body’s ability to regulate this barrier is how the Gut-Brain-Immune systems are interconnected.
Unfortunately, for those with a genetic predisposition, the degree of permeability can be disequilibrated. Some develop an inflammatory response such as food intolerances. Stress also influences intestinal permeability and seems to be an important link to the onset of irritable bowel syndrome.
If the onset of stress and a nervous bowel resonates with you, then you may find beneficial functional supplements such as L-Glutamine.
Supplement Strategy #1: Consume L-Glutamine or Butyrate supplements. Glutamine is known to directly regulate intestinal permeability. A cell-signaling enzyme called PI3K (Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase) can increase intestinal permeability. But Glutamine suppresses the presence of PI3K. If Glutamine deficiency is a problem, you may not have enough glutamine to help you maintain a well regulated intestinal barrier.
Maintain Cognitive Health | Use Multi Spectrum Formulas With Nootropic Ingredients
The market for nootropic supplements is undoubtedly flooded with choices. Your response to the same nutrient can be higher or lower than other people. Plus, disease is complex involving multiple dysregulated protein targets. You’re better of investing in a product with multiple phytonutrients that act on multiple protein targets that play a role in the disease. You increase your outcome of achieving your health goal by taking advantage of the biology of synergy.
Supplement Strategy #2: Consider multi spectrum nootropic formulas. They should have a blend of herbs and functional ingredients that should be neuroprotective as well as contribute to function. In the case of a nervous stomach we’re focused on feelings of anxiousness leading to an inability to be calm and concentrate for long periods of time. Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) and Huperzine A are functional ingredients that contribute to calmness and focus. Herbs such as Bacopa, Gingko Biloba and Hawthorn have phytonutrients that are neuroprotective. They contribute antioxidants and maintain healthy microvasculature for flow of blood to your brain.
Include An Inflammation Detox Too | Optimize Your Gut Microbiome Against A Leaky Gut
Inflammation is directly connected to a dysregulated, "leaky" gut -- the complex permeability of the outer barrier of your intestines. By allowing passage of substances like allergens, your gut communicates to your immune system. But when this permeability is dysregulated, the immune system keeps releasing proinflammatory molecules.
Supplement Strategy #3: Our Birch Chaga supplement is expertly formulated to enhance your detox routine and digestive health. It is rich in naturally occuring fulvic and humic acids and polyphenols from Birch Chaga and Pine Bark extract. These superfoods are regarded as detoxifying agents. Birch Chaga is also regarded as a good prebiotic source of polysaccharides useful in maintaining a balanced gut microbiome and intestinal permeability. Read more about how Birch Chaga does this in my blog What To Do About A Leaky Gut.
I suggest Chaga mushrooms because of the high value as a functional food for your investment. They are rich in other polyphenols and beta-glucans. They promote healthy immune response. Plus, they have a high antioxidative capacity.
