How everyday stress affects your body - Dr Hazel Wallace | Boots UK

Описание: Stress is a common part of everyday life, but ongoing stress can affect how your body functions over time. In this video, Dr Hazel Wallace explains how everyday stress affects the body, including its impact on cortisol levels, digestion, and overall wellbeing.

You’ll learn what cortisol is and the role it plays in helping the body respond to stress. Dr Hazel Wallace also discusses what can happen when cortisol remains elevated for long periods, including symptoms such as low energy, sleep issues, changes in mood, and digestive discomfort.

The video explores the gut–brain axis, the communication pathway between the nervous system and the digestive system. Stress can influence gut function, which may contribute to symptoms like bloating, altered bowel habits, and discomfort. Understanding this connection can help explain why stress often shows up physically, not just mentally.

Dr Hazel Wallace also shares practical, approachable tips to help support your body through everyday stress. These strategies are realistic and focused on supporting the nervous system and digestion in a way that fits into daily life.

Finally, the video addresses common questions such as can stress disrupt digestion? and outlines simple ways to manage everyday stress more effectively.

This video offers a clear, balanced overview of the link between stress, hormones, and gut health, with guidance from Dr Hazel Wallace to help you better support your overall wellbeing.
