The Beyond Bloated Podcast
E93: Chronic Bloating in High-Achieving Women: The Stress Patterns Keeping Your Digestion Stuck
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You’re eating healthy.
You’re trying to “do all the right things.”
So why are you still bloated by 3pm?
In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked causes of chronic bloating in women: stress and nervous system dysregulation.
I’m joined by Jodell Jordan and Heather Bull, authors of Run It Like You Own It, to talk about what really happens in the body when you’re constantly rushing, overcommitted, making a million decisions a day, and putting everyone else first.
We discuss:
- Why being late and constantly rushing keeps your body in fight-or-flight
- How decision fatigue increases stress (and digestive symptoms)
- The hidden connection between people-pleasing and gut issues
- Why high-achieving women often struggle with bloating
- How sleep, boundaries, and prioritizing yourself calm your nervous system
- The truth about “balance” and why there is no finish line
If you’re a busy woman who feels like you’re doing everything “right” but still dealing with bloating, anxiety, or digestive discomfort, this episode will help you understand why food isn’t always the root cause.
