It's the process through which we break down food into nutrients, providing the energy and building blocks our bodies need to thrive. Yet, despite its vital importance, digestion can sometimes be a source of discomfort and inefficiency. This is where digestive enzymes step in as unsung heroes, quietly facilitating the digestive process and ensuring optimal nutrient absorption. What Are Digestive Enzymes? Digestive enzymes are specialized proteins produced by the body to aid in the breakdown of food into smaller, absorbable components.

    The gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to emotion. Anger, anxiety, sadness, elation — all of these feelings (and others) can trigger symptoms in the gut. The brain has a direct effect on the stomach and intestines. For example, the very thought of eating can release the stomach's juices before food gets there.   Can stress give me a stomach ache? The brain-gut axis also explains how you can feel stress and emotions in the gut.  Most people have experienced butterflies before a first date or diarrhea before public speaking. These "gut feelings" are the result of stress being communicated to the gut via these bidirectional nerve pathways.  For many patients, living with unpredictable GI symptoms can be highly stressful on its own.
