She says:

“Are you guilty of any of these?

I used to be guilty of all these and trust me when I say, I understand it’s hard to navigate all the misinformation out there! But I’m here to give it to you straight!

Here’s why it’s best to avoid the ⬆️ if you’re on a gut healing journey as well.

🏋🏼‍♀️ Daily HIIT training can wind up putting your body into a constant state of stress, slowing down your digestion/motility.

🍷 Alcohol increases production of LPS (lipopolysaccharides) which triggers inflammation of the gut lining leading to increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut syndrome)

🍟 Highly processed foods are filled with chemical additives and preservatives that trigger inflammation of the gut making it difficult to heal.

🍭 Our bodies are not designed to digest artificial sweeteners, therefore creating an immune response causing inflammation and altering our microbiomes. They are hidden everywhere!!

🌭 Research shows that foods high in saturated fat and void of fiber decrease microbiome diversity and slow down motility. Foods high in saturated fat and void of fiber include, coconut oil, dairy, processed/cured meats (i.e. bacon, sausage) and red meat.

🫣 Fearing motility agents when they could be used strategically to get your bowels in rhythm. This doesn’t mean you have to take them forever. The goal is to use them short term while repairing your microbiome and then weaning off of them.

Instead of the ⬆️, focus on things you can add to your diet and lifestyle that will benefit your gut, such as,

Whole foods, specifically, whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables, quality proteins 🫘

Daily movement such as walking, strength training or yoga 🧘‍♀️

Getting outside and exposure to the ☀️

Hydration 💧

Mindfulness practices (journalling, breathing, mindful eating, etc.) 🫁

Quality sleep (8+ hours/night) 😴

Remember it’s not a race 🏃🏼‍♀️. Start by implementing one or two into your daily routine and as you adjust you’ll find it easier to add more!”
