Day 8 of Gutsy Giving.

Yesterday, you took the supplement quiz to figure out what YOUR gut actually needs right now.

[If you haven't taken it yet, go do that first. It takes 2 minutes.]

Today, we're talking about something that affects every single person reading this email — especially right now, in the thick of holiday chaos.

Stress.

Not the "oh I'm a little stressed" kind.

The my body is running on fumes, I can't sleep, I'm wired and tired at the same time, and my gut is a mess kind.

Sound familiar?

That's not just stress. That could be adrenal fatigue.

And here's what nobody tells you: your gut will not fully heal until you address it.

🎁 DAY 8 GIFT: The Adrenal Fatigue Email Series

This is an email series that walks you through:

✔️ What adrenal fatigue actually is (and why it's not just "being tired")

✔️ The gut–stress axis (how your adrenals and your gut are in constant communication)

✔️ The symptoms you're ignoring (fatigue, cravings, brain fog, digestive issues)

✔️ Exactly what I experienced (with lab results)

✔️ How to support your adrenals without adding MORE to your to-do list

This series has been one of my most requested resources. Because people feel this — they just don't know what to call it or what to do about it.

WHY THIS MATTERS RIGHT NOW

It's December.

You're running on adrenaline, caffeine, and the sheer willpower to get through one more holiday event.

Your gut is bloated. Your energy is tanking. Your sleep is a disaster.

And you keep thinking: "I'll rest in January."

But here's the truth: your body doesn't wait until January to crash.

The burnout you're feeling right now? It's already affecting your digestion, your hormones, your immune system, and your ability to heal your gut.

You can't supplement your way out of adrenal fatigue.

But you CAN support your body through it — and that starts with understanding what's actually happening.

THE GUT–STRESS CONNECTION

When your adrenals are fried, your gut suffers.

Why?

Because stress shuts down digestion. It slows gut motility. It increases inflammation. It depletes stomach acid. It throws off your microbiome.

So you can eat all the right foods, take all the right supplements, follow all the protocols — and still feel like garbage.

Because your body is stuck in survival mode.

This email series explains the entire connection — and gives you practical, doable steps to support both your adrenals AND your gut.

See you tomorrow for Gift #9.

Xox,

SKH
