The Body Isn’t Modular. It’s Musical.

The gut and lungs aren’t separate systems — they’re in constant biochemical conversation.

As Dr. Vivek Lal and resbiotic remind us, when one is disrupted, the other follows. But at CWA, we’ve long stopped looking at the body as isolated organs — or even duos.

The real conversation includes the vagus nerve, the nervous system, and the stress circuits that shape how we breathe, digest, and create.
Women experience up to 76% more total stress burden than men — and it shows up biologically.
Not because women are weaker — but because the system asks us to carry more.

The solution isn’t self-regulation.
It’s system redesign.

Women’s Physiology

Medical research has historically underrepresented female physiology, leading to gaps in understanding. Addressing this disparity is crucial for developing effective treatments and improving women’s health outcomes.
