If you’re constipated…
it might not be your fiber.
It might be your nervous system.
Digestion only works well in one state:
✨ Rest and digest.
If you are eating on the go…
Stressed…
Rushing…
Scrolling…
Your body is in fight-or-flight and digestion will suffer.
Here are 3 simple things I recommend first:
✅ Say a short prayer or gratitude before meals
This tells your body it is safe to receive food.
✅ Hum your favorite song once a day
Humming stimulates the vagus nerve and supports movement in the gut.
✅ Take 20 minutes to eat
Slow down.
Chew well.
Put your fork down between bites.
These small habits improve vagal tone.
And vagal tone plays a huge role in how things move through your digestive system.
Before you reach for a laxative, give these a try.
