SWIPE FOR INFO IN CAPTIONS 🫶🏻 not everything needs to be a dopamine hit, quick temporary fix, majority is in the simplicity of small habit compounding that you can sustain 😉🤗🫶🏻
Your gut loves diversity and color.
Each plant fiber feeds a different community of good gut bugs. And a more diverse microbiome is a more resilient one.
You don’t need to overhaul your whole diet. Just add one new thing you wouldn’t normally eat.
Even an easy swap from blueberries to raspberries counts.
Movement after eating stimulates the migrating motor complex, which helps food move through your digestive tract more efficiently.
Even a slow, casual walk helps reduce bloating and blood sugar spikes, compared to sitting on the couch or desk.
Your gut and your nervous system are constantly talking to each other through the vagus nerve.
That means stressed, shallow breathing will keep your body in fight-or-flight mode, which makes digestion take a back seat.
The 4-7-8 breath (where you inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8) activates your parasympathetic nervous system (aka your rest and digest mode) which helps your body actually digest and heal.
Three rounds is enough to shift your gut into a calmer, more functional state.
Or if your mudgee based better yet visit Angus & Alicia new studio and do a breath work session 🔥🤌
No phone, no podcast, nothing (scary I know) When you’re chronically stimulated, it keeps your cortisol elevated. That directly disrupts your gut motility, permeability, and microbiome balance.
Intentional stillness allows your nervous system to downregulate, which signals to your gut that it’s finally safe to do its repair work.
This little man’s been my biggest lesson - Rest and stillness is productive, for us both 🥺🤗
Unless you’ve had a gastrointestinal virus or antibiotics STOP using a broad spectrum probiotic expecting to solve all your problems. The likelihood is that it is just going to over populate the beneficial bacteria, which isn’t a good thing when it comes to microbiome. Our bodies will let us know what specific strains need a boost.
