The more stressed you are, the less your body will actually digest your food.

It doesn’t matter if your meal is organic, gluten-free, or perfectly macro-balanced, if you eat it in fight-or-flight, your body’s not absorbing it.

When you’re stressed, blood flow moves away from your gut and toward your muscles and brain.
Your stomach acid drops, enzymes slow, and food literally sits there fermenting, cue the bloat, reflux, or fullness that won’t quit.

💡 If you’re really stressed, here’s what I recommend:
1️⃣ Wait to eat until you feel calmer- your body digests best when it feels safe.
2️⃣ Have a smoothie or soup- easier to break down when digestion is sluggish.
3️⃣ Take 5 slow breaths before eating- simple but powerful.

You can’t heal your gut if your nervous system is on edge.

✨ Your body doesn’t just need nutrients, it needs calm to use them.

Don’t sleep on this veggie.

Artichokes are packed with prebiotic fiber, meaning they feed your good gut bacteria and help build a stronger microbiome (aka better digestion, better mood, better immunity).

They’re also rich in inulin, one of the best prebiotics for regularity, reduced bloating, and a more diverse microbiome (aka a happier gut overall).

Bonus: artichokes support your liver + bile flow, which is key for breaking down fats and detoxing properly. Especially after heavy meals, alcohol, or hormonal swings.

And yes… canned, marinated, steamed, roasted- they all count!

✨Gut Healthy Thanksgiving Dishes I’m Making This Year

1️⃣ Cabbage is one of the most underrated gut healers, its glutamine content helps soothe the gut lining, and miso adds fermented probiotics that support digestion. This dish hits the sweet spot of comfort + microbiome love.

2️⃣ Brussels Sprouts are packed with prebiotic fiber that feeds your good bacteria. Smash + roast them and you get fiber, crunch, antioxidants, and blood-sugar support, it’s basically a gut-friendly French fry.

3️⃣Olive Oil Cake (for the sweet tooth) oil keeps blood sugar steadier than butter and provides polyphenols that reduce inflammation. Apples bring soluble fiber (hello, happy microbiome), and warm spices like cinnamon support digestion and insulin balance.

Head to my stories to check out the 3 amazing recipes I’ll be using this holiday.

PSA: Fats don’t make you fat.
Fats have been unfairly demonized for decades, but like everything else, they’re making a comeback...
Fats fuel your hormones, brain, and gut lining. They even help keep you full and satisfied.
It’s not about cutting fat, it’s about choosing the right ones.

🎃 HALLOWEEN CANDY HACKS: How to enjoy sweets without wrecking your gut

1. Eat dinner first. Don’t show up starving — protein + fat before candy = balanced blood sugar + less chaos.

2. Choose candy with real ingredients. Read the label. Look for coconut oil, nuts, cocoa, honey, or coconut sugar. Skip the neon mystery chemicals — less artificial = less gut drama.

3. Enjoy it + move on. One night won’t undo your progress. Stress about sugar does more harm than a few fun-size bars ever could.

4. Support digestion. Hydrate, walk, take digestive enzymes, and add fiber at your next meal.

Your gut loves consistency, not punishment.
