Processed sugars, ultra-processed foods, low-quality dairy, gluten, cold foods and alcohol.
This isn’t forever — but removing these gave my gut space to regulate and repair
Remove these first so you can rebuild your gut properly for long-term health. It also helps reset habits — once ultra-processed foods are out, you realize they were more addictive than satisfying 🤷🏻♀️
ultra processed foods are loaded with additives, seed oils and other harmful ingredients that alter the gut microbiome
Gluten today isn’t what it used to be — for many people, it’s a major inflammatory trigger that weakens the gut lining.
Cold foods slow digestion because they literally
cool the digestive system down — and digestion needs warmth to work efficiently
This is why in Traditional Chinese Medicine & Ayurveda, warm foods are emphasized — especially for people with bloating, sluggish digestion, IBS, SIBO, or during healing phases
Think: soups, stews, warm breakfasts, room-temp drinks > ice-cold smoothies and iced water
— Don’t be like me and think it’s OK to eat a whole tub of Ninja Creami ice cream while you’re in your core healing phase 💀😭
🧘🏾♀️
