Dr. Karan: Gut Health Expert: Diet Is Only 20% Of The Puzzle

Key Takeaways

• Stress management is critical – Chronic stress increases gut permeability (leaky gut) and slows digestion
• Prioritize nervous system regulation – Excess sympathetic activation (fight-or-flight) directly harms gut function
• Re-frame IBS – View it as a communication disorder between gut and brain, not just digestive dysfunction

Bottom Line

Address stress, sleep, and nervous system balance FIRST – they impact gut health more than diet alone. Treat gut issues holistically.
