MULTITASKING WHILE EATING💻🥬

Screen time during our meals impact our gut health in more ways than we think. Office work, emails, and doomscrolling all prevent us from digesting food properly, leading to more serious gut issues. It’s important to practice JOMO during our meals, to ensure easy digestion.

To learn more about ditching screens for the Joy of Missing Out, check out Episode 15 of Go With Your Gut, now streaming on Spotify and YouTube.

Until next time, be well.

Looking for ways to practice JOMO? Slow mornings are a great practice🌞☕️🌾

When replacing FOMO with the JOY of missing out, we find more time to participate in the world around us, rather than go on our phones.

Slow mornings emphasize quiet stillnes, allowing for introspection. No screens, just you and a good breakfast.

To learn more about JOMO, checkout episode 15 of Go With Your Gut, streaming on Spotify and YouTube.

What if the key to feeling better in your body wasn’t another wellness trend, but simply putting your phone down?

In this episode of Go With Your Gut, we explore the surprising connection between phone use, FOMO, and gut health. I dive into how constant scrolling, comparison, and digital overwhelm can disrupt our stress levels—and in turn, our digestion, mood, and overall well-being.

We talk about the shift from FOMO to JOMO, and how creating intentional space away from our screens can help us reconnect with our bodies, our communities, and ourselves. I also share simple, realistic ways to spend less time on your phone and more time doing things that actually sustain you.

Because when we step away from the noise and into presence, feeling good becomes a whole lot more natural.

Go With Your Gut, Episode 15, is now available for listening on Spotify and YouTube.

One of the best ways to become a more confident cook is simply learning to pay attention.

Cooking with your eyes, your nose, and your taste buds helps you understand what your food needs as you go. Taste along the way, notice the aromas, and adjust flavors with simple ingredients like salt or a bright spice such as sumac.

Even the way we chop our food matters. Smaller pieces cook faster, which can make everyday meals easier and more approachable.

Sometimes the difference between an ordinary meal and a memorable one is simply the spices we use. In this conversation, we explore blends like baharat and ras el hanout — warm, aromatic combinations that many cultures rely on as everyday staples.

These blends bring together spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cardamom to create depth and balance in dishes from vegetables to fish and stews. When we start cooking with spices this way, simple ingredients like butternut squash or chickpeas suddenly feel rich, hearty, and complete.

It’s a reminder that flavor doesn’t have to be complicated — sometimes it just takes the right blend.
