Improving Your Gut Health

In case you needed a reminder, your gut health MATTERS so much! It’s so important to take care of your gut health and take the steps to improve it if you’re lacking! It’s more than just whether you have regular BM or not, it’s about how you feel and the glow and light you exhibit to the world. It all starts with a healthy gut so you can carry on in life as your amazing self, feeling great inside AND out.

Some ways to improve your gut health:
1. Chew slowly - get that food nice and broken down so digestion is smoother!
2. Smaller portions - you shouldn’t be stuffed after every meal.
3. Eat a variety of different kinds of fruits & veggies - don’t be afraid to try new things or switch up your usual consumption, have fun with food!
4. FIBER! For women, aim for ~25 grams of fiber per day; for men, aim for 35-40 grams!
5. Apple cider vinegar! You can try @goligummy for 10% with my code mind.body.alignment
6. Drink a gallon + of water EVERY day - hydration is the basis for so much of your health!
7. Let your stomach settle 1-2 hours before bed (aka don’t eat a big meal right before bed)
8. Moderate your caffeine intake! The sweet spot is 80-150mg MAX per day.
9. Eat every 2-3 hours.
10. Force yourself to eat breakfast early if you’re not hungry.
11. Drink 16oz of water minimum first thing in the morning and supplement with a greens powder if you like.
12. Choose foods that digest well for you! No one knows your body better than you so if certain foods flare up your digestion, stay away from them! Your body is trying to communicate with you! Listen to it!

Gut health begins and ends with the effort you put into it, so try not to slack if you can help it! Slowly incorporating these tips into your daily routine will not only improve your gut health but your relationship with your body. You get out what you put in, so if you’re being consistent you will notice a difference.

It all starts with making better choices internally at a cellular level to have your external experiences reflect back more positively to you! This can be a bit of a scary thing to tackle alone, especially if you’re starting from scratch and aren’t sure where or how to begin, don’t struggle in silence! Reach out and let’s lay the foundation for an amazing and fulfilling healthful life!
