Here we are still talking about stomach acid, because it's THAT important! 😜

Did you know: If you struggle with bloating, gas, heartburn, or acid reflux, you might actually need more stomach acid—not less! 😲

I know, it sounds wild and totally opposite of what you've been told. But most people assume they have too much stomach acid when, in reality, they don’t have enough.

So, how do you support healthy stomach acid levels?

Try these simple tips:

🥄 Relax before you eat – Take a few deep breaths to shift into a calm, “rest-and-digest” state.
👃 Engage your senses – Smell your food and think about eating before you dive in. This jumpstarts stomach acid production!
🦷 Chew, chew, chew! – Your food should be applesauce consistency before you swallow.
🍋 Boost acidity naturally – Sip lemon water or diluted ACV before meals to support digestion.
🚰 Watch your water intake – Sip instead of chugging with meals to avoid diluting stomach acid.

✨ Take control of your gut health with small, simple steps you can start TODAY! ✨

Here’s why these practices work:
☀️ Get morning sunlight on your eyes: Helps regulate your circadian rhythm, which improves digestion and supports a healthy microbiome. Start your day with 5–10 minutes of sunshine!

🎵 Hum or sing before meals: Activates your vagus nerve to get your body into “rest and digest” mode, boosting digestive function. Bonus: It’s fun!

📵 Skip distractions at mealtime: Eating without screens or multitasking helps your body focus on digestion, reducing bloating and discomfort.

😂 Watch a funny video: Laughter lowers stress hormones that can disrupt digestion. A good laugh is gut therapy!

💦 Gargle water: Stimulates your vagus nerve, improving gut-brain communication for healthier digestion.

🌱 Walk barefoot outside: Grounding helps reduce inflammation, which can benefit your gut and overall health. Plus, it feels amazing!

Start small, stay consistent, and let these habits do the work.

“Just take Miralax every day.”

👀 I’m sorry, I just hallucinated… WHAT?

That was the advice I got for years — no questions asked. Just a lifetime prescription for a daily powder and crossed fingers. 🙄

Here’s the deal:
Miralax isn’t fixing your constipation. It’s just slapping a band-aid on a body that’s screaming for support.

Because newsflash → constipation isn’t a Miralax deficiency.

It’s often about:
🧠 A nervous system stuck in “go-go-go” mode (aka fight-or-flight)
💧 Not enough hydration and electrolytes (your cells are thirsty, not just your mouth)
🍽 Eating while stressed, multitasking, or standing over the sink
🛋 Zero movement — your gut needs you to move so IT can move
🥬 Not enough fiber, healthy fats, or real, unprocessed food
☕ Too much caffeine and not enough nourishment
😵‍💫 Ignoring the urge to go (you’d be surprised!)
🧼 Low stomach acid or sluggish bile (digestion starts way before the toilet)

Your gut deserves better than “take this forever and hope for the best.”

You've tried everything, but you're STILL bloated?! 😩

Here's why... and what actually works!

🚨 The real reasons your bloating won’t budge:

👉 You’re treating symptoms, NOT the root cause
Cutting out random foods, popping probiotics, or chugging ginger tea might give temporary relief, but if you don’t address why you’re bloated in the first place (low stomach acid, gut dysbiosis, sluggish digestion, etc.), the bloating will keep coming back.

👉 Stress is silently wrecking your digestion
Your body can’t properly digest food when it’s stuck in fight-or-flight mode. Stress shuts down stomach acid production, slows motility, and throws your gut bacteria out of balance—leading to bloating, discomfort, and sluggish digestion. If you’re eating in a rush or under stress, it’s time to slow down and let your body actually digest.

👉 Supplements alone aren’t fixing the problem
Digestive enzymes, probiotics, or fiber powders can be helpful tools, but they won’t undo poor eating habits, low stomach acid, or an imbalanced gut. If you’re relying on supplements without focusing on foundational habits, you’re missing the bigger picture!

✅ What actually works:

✔️ Eating in a relaxed state (deep breaths before meals)
✔️ Chewing your food way more than you think you need to
✔️ Supporting stomach acid (apple cider vinegar, digestive bitters)
✔️ Addressing stress—your gut and nervous system are connected!
✔️ Prioritizing gut-healing foods (collagen, zinc, glutamine, etc.)
✔️ Restoring balance in your gut microbiome (not just masking symptoms!)

💡 Bloating isn’t just about what you eat—it’s about how you eat and how well your gut is actually functioning.

Signs Your Stomach Acid Might Be Running on E ⛽️😬

If you’ve got heartburn, bloating, or feel like food just sits in your stomach forever… low stomach acid might be the culprit!

🔥 Wait—heartburn?? Isn’t that from TOO much acid?

Nope! It’s usually the opposite. When acid is too low, digestion slows down, food ferments, and pressure pushes acid up where it doesn’t belong (hello, reflux & belching).

⚡️ Stomach acid is essential for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and keeping digestion running smoothly.

When it’s low, you might notice:
✅ Heartburn or reflux
✅ Bloating, gas, & belching
✅ Undigested food in your stool
✅ Constipation or diarrhea
✅ Feeling ‘meh’ about food, especially meat

The good news? You can support healthy stomach acid naturally!

Don't miss out! 🎉 Follow along for easy, effective tips to boost stomach acid and keep your gut happy in the days ahead!

Stomach Acid: The Underrated MVP! 💪

Let’s talk about why stomach acid is essential for digestion and overall health.

Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) isn’t the enemy even if you’ve been led to believe that —it’s your gut’s powerhouse!

It breaks down food, fights off harmful bacteria, and helps your body absorb key nutrients.

When levels are too low, digestion suffers, leading to bloating, indigestion, and nutrient deficiencies.

Instead of suppressing stomach acid, let’s support it! A well-functioning gut means better digestion, more energy, and a healthier you.
