Why the good habits stopped working

You can eat clean, train hard, and still feel puffy by 3pm.

Digestion only runs properly when your nervous system decides you're safe. Under steady stress, the body diverts blood away from the gut, slows things down, and keeps cortisol high. Food sits, gas builds, and the belly swells.

The vagus nerve is the switch. It runs from the brainstem down through the diaphragm into the gut, and it responds to specific, physical things: slow exhales, gentle pressure, sound, movement, rest. This course is a week of those.

What's included

Seven lessons, to watch or to read.

Explore yoga, breathwork, a HIIT session, self-massage, and what to eat around it all. Move through these lessons over a week, then return to whichever your body keeps asking for.

Which foods to avoid

Sadie's advice on the foods most likely to be driving the bloat, and what to do instead.
Who it's for

Made for the body that won't settle.

Bloating and digestive discomfort that food changes alone haven't solved
Puffiness, inflammation, and weight that won't respond to the usual effort
Chronic stress showing up physically, including a tight neck, clenched jaw and headaches
Low energy, broken sleep, and the flat exhaustion that follows both

From people who took it

What changed, in their words.

I had no idea how much stress was running my body, whatever I ate or however I trained. The bloating is way down now.
Miranda S.
I was working out hard and still felt terrible. Now I train less, my gut has settled, and I feel like myself.
Stephanie S.
I'd heard of the vagus nerve but never worked with it. One course in, my digestion is functioning and the vertigo is gone.
