| Ever spend a little time on social media… And then minutes or even hours later, you find yourself dealing with random bloating, constipation or even diarrhea? It might have you wondering…. "Does my gut hate Instagram?" Sort of :) See, scrolling on social media can heighten feelings of stress and anxiety... Which triggers the release of your stress hormone known as "cortisol." Think of cortisol like an alarm clock that wakes your body up and helps it react quickly. Cortisol can be helpful in small doses… But if your scrolling habits have your body sounding the alarm day after day… It's your cortisol – not social media – that's making your gut wave the white flag See, normally, your body shuttles important resources to your digestive system to break down food and absorb nutrients. But when your cortisol levels are at code red… Your body takes those important resources away from your digestion… And redirect them to our muscles and bones. This can slow your digestion to a halt… Leading to things like gas, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, and heartburn that simply won't go away on their own. But I have something to confess – Even though I'm well aware of the "unhappy gut potential" of social media… I love keeping up with all the updates I get from my family and friends. Personally – I'm not about to give up my Instagram account… And I don't think you should either. And thankfully… Science has given us a new way to beat social media stress In a 2020 study, the probiotic strain B. Longum 1714™ was shown to "turn on" brain coping centers … While helping to disrupt the stress signals being sent from your brain to your gut. Even better, B. Longum 1714™ is clinically proven to keep your cortisol levels in healthy balance. Meaning – Even if you find yourself going down an Instagram rabbit hole… Your body will stay cool and collected, allowing your digestive system to work the way it should. B. Longum 1714™ is a stress management tool built for our always plugged in world – That's why you'll find it in our mood-uplifting product, Just Calm. So you can say goodbye to social media stress and hello to a healthy and happy gut – |
