In this episode of The Grace-Filled Leader podcast, we dive into the gut-brain connection and how it impacts your energy, focus, and emotional resilience as a Christian woman in leadership. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, foggy, or emotionally drained, it might not just be stress—it could be your gut health quietly sabotaging your leadership.

Tanya explores how chronic stress disrupts gut function, leads to leaky gut, and contributes to fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and burnout. You’ll hear why your gut is more than just a digestive organ—it’s your "second brain," designed by God to communicate with your mind and body through the gut-brain axis.

We go over practical functional wellness tips, and equip you with steps to begin healing your gut, reclaim your energy, and step into your leadership role with renewed vitality.

If you’re a Christian woman juggling leadership, faith, family, and wellness, this episode will show you how to steward your health God’s way—because thriving leaders create thriving teams.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How the gut-brain connection affects your leadership capacity
• How stress creates inflammation and leads to gut imbalances
• Symptoms of poor gut health (that you might be ignoring)
• How gut issues drive mood swings, anxiety, and energy crashes
• Actionable, faith-centered strategies to restore gut health

I hope this episode blesses you!

Xoxo,

Tanya
