Chronic Stress Explained: How Stress Affects Your Body, Gut Health & Nervous System Regulation
Stress is about so much more than feeling overwhelmed. It can influence your nervous system, digestion, energy levels and overall health.
In this episode of Love Mia Naturopathy, we're exploring acute versus chronic stress, what happens in your body during fight-or-flight, how stress impacts gut health and digestion, and practical ways to support nervous system regulation.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:
Acute vs chronic stress and how the stress response works
Fight-or-flight and why you can experience stress without feeling anxious
How chronic stress can affect digestion, bloating and gut motility
The gut-brain connection and its role in your health
Practical ways to support your nervous system and build more recovery into your day
Why managing stress shouldn't become another thing on your to-do list
Remember, the goal isn't to eliminate stress completely. It's to understand your body's response and support its ability to adapt and recover.

Naturopathy 101:What Actually Happens When You See a Naturopath?
Naturopathy 101: What Actually Happens When You See a Naturopath?
What actually happens when you see a naturopath?
You might assume you come in with a symptom, get given a handful of supplements and go home. But naturopathy is about so much more than that.
In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a naturopathic consultation and how I approach understanding your symptoms and the bigger picture of your health.
We’ll explore:
Your health history and timeline and why understanding when and how your symptoms started matters.
Root cause and why there isn’t always one single thing responsible for your symptoms.
The nervous system and its role in digestion, sleep, stress, recovery and overall health.
Supplements and testing and where they actually fit into a naturopathic treatment plan.
The foundations of health including nutrition, digestion, sleep, movement, hydration and lifestyle.
I’ll also walk you through how I would connect the dots when someone is experiencing multiple symptoms like bloating, constipation, acne, fatigue and PMS, rather than treating each symptom separately.
Because I don’t want you leaving a consultation with a bag full of supplements and no idea why you’re taking them. I want you to understand your body and why we’re doing what we’re doing.
If you’ve ever wondered what a naturopath does or what to expect from a naturopathic consultation, this episode is for you.
If you're ready to stop guessing and want personalised support, you can learn more about my Decode Suite or book a free 1:1 Alignment Call (https://love-mia-naturopathy.au4.cliniko.com/bookings?fbclid=PAVERFWATM7gZwZG9mAmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABp4BLfV5bU1cv1oEzHTS5PqW2KWklGkIQfqhdqTrnBcT4-C5nLfeXwNceikUT_aem_7vvQ8ANfYWeu0NoRmv8RIA#schedule) with me.

Why You’re Constipated (And Why It’s Not a Fibre Problem)
If you’re constantly bloated, struggling to have a bowel movement, going days without pooping or relying on laxatives to keep things moving, this episode is for you.
Constipation is one of the most common gut symptoms I see in clinic and one of the most misunderstood.
Because while you’ll often be told to “eat more fibre and drink more water,” constipation isn’t always as simple as that.
In this episode of Love Mia Naturopathy, we’re talking about the real causes of constipation, including:
→ Gut motility and why your bowel may not be moving things through efficiently
→ The connection between constipation, the nervous system and stress
→ Fibre: when it can help and when adding more may actually make you feel worse
→ Meal spacing, the gastrocolic reflex and the migrating motor complex
→ The gut microbiome and why methane/IMO can be relevant in chronic constipation
→ When gut testing may actually be worth considering
→ How thyroid function, your menstrual cycle and hormones can influence bowel movements
→ The specific things you can start doing to support regular bowel movements
→ Why constipation is about much more than simply “how often you go”
We also talk about why I don’t believe in throwing another supplement or probiotic at constipation without understanding WHY it’s happening in the first place.
If you’ve tried fibre, magnesium, probiotics, drinking more water and “eating healthier” but your gut still isn’t moving properly, this is an episode you’ll want to listen to.
