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.

4. Lack of sleep – Inadequate rest increases inflammation and gut sensitivity.

• More coffee to power through the fog
  
  
• Another Google search for “why am I so bloated?”
  
  

It wasn’t until I learned about the gut-skin-mood connection that it all finally clicked.

🧠 The Gut-Brain-Skin Triangle

Here’s the truth no one told me:
Your gut is at the center of it all.
When it’s off, everything feels off.

Let’s break it down:

1. Mood Swings & Anxiety

Your gut makes 90% of your serotonin, the neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood.
If your gut is inflamed or unbalanced, it’s like having static on the line between your brain and your body.
