Nutritionist Deepsikha Jain Says Stress Regulation Beats Probiotics for Gut Health

Summary
Deepsikha Jain said better gut health depends first on regulating the nervous system, arguing probiotics and fibre alone do not address the root problem.
Chronic stress and a dysregulated nervous system can disrupt digestion, she said, preventing the body from entering the parasympathetic “rest and digest” state.
That state helps improve digestive enzymes and coordinate bowel movements, while poor mental health can worsen constipation, inflammation and bloating, according to Jain.
The advice shifts the focus from food supplements toward stress and mental-health management as a broader approach to digestive health.
