Your gut is constantly sending messages—are you listening?

Common signals your body might be giving:

• Bloating or discomfort after meals
  
  
• Irregular bowel movements
  
  
• Cravings for sugar or caffeine
  
  
• Fatigue mid-afternoon
  
  
• Mood swings or irritability
  
  

Ignoring these signals can make you feel stuck, frustrated, or defeated.

Practical Tip: Keep a small journal for one week. Note what you eat, how you feel, and any patterns you notice. Awareness is the first step toward healing.

 We often think bloating, fatigue, and discomfort are all about food—but sometimes, your gut is silently responding to your habits.

Here are five common culprits:

1. Skipping meals or rushing through them – Your gut needs rhythm and time to digest.
   
   
2. Too much caffeine – Temporary energy spikes can disrupt blood sugar and digestion.
   
   
3. Multitasking while eating – Watching TV or working while you eat prevents your body from fully digesting.
   
   
4. Lack of sleep – Inadequate rest increases inflammation and gut sensitivity.
   
   
5. Chronic stress – Tight deadlines, perfectionism, and constant “doing” send your gut into fight-or-flight mode.
   
   

Tip: Pick one of these habits to adjust this week. Maybe slow down at lunch or add 15 minutes of sleep. Notice how your gut responds.
