My digestive system was so compromised by anxiety that it could hardly take in food or process it properly. I had almost zero hunger and was barely eating. I was rapidly gaining weight and swelling up. Doctors put me on incredibly high doses of medication. I was swallowing pill after pill—but it did not matter. The medication couldn’t control my condition because the root cause wasn’t just medical. It was the toxic, unsafe environment my nervous system was trapped in.

You’re constantly walking on eggshells, waiting for the next argument, the next insult, or the next silent treatment. Because you’re constantly anticipating an attack, your brain pumps your body full of a stress hormone called cortisol.
