The gut is sometimes called the second brain: it houses millions of neurons and communicates constantly with your head via the vagus nerve. This is the gut-brain axis.
When stress hits you in the gut
Under stress, your body redirects energy toward action and puts digestion on hold. The frequent result: bloating, cramps, and disrupted digestion. Chronic stress keeps these issues going.
Calming both
Stimulating the vagus nerve calms both the mind and the gut: slow breathing, walking, meals eaten calmly without a screen. Mindful eating already makes a big difference.
Key takeaway: stress and digestion are connected through the vagus nerve. Slow breathing, eating in a calm environment, and managing stress often ease digestive discomfort.

The KEORA Ring tracks your stress throughout the day. By cross-referencing it with your discomforts, you identify the triggers and act at the source rather than on the symptoms.
Your gut listens to your stress. Calm one, and you ease the other.
