🍁 Fall & Digestion: Why Your Gut Feels Different This Season
As the seasons shift, so do your body’s rhythms — including digestion. 🌿
In fall, many people notice their gut feels a little more sensitive.
You might feel heavier or more bloated after meals, experience slower digestion, reduced morning appetite, or more gas and constipation.
Cooler weather, longer nights, and the body’s natural move toward slowing down can all reduce digestive “fire,” slow motility, and even shift your microbiome.
If this sounds familiar, here are 5 gentle ways to reset your gut this fall:
🥣 Choose warming, cooked foods — soups, stews, and roasted vegetables are easier to digest
🍎 Eat fiber-rich seasonal produce — squash, carrots, apples, and leafy greens to nourish your microbiome
🌿 Add bitters before meals — like arugula, dandelion, or a splash of apple cider vinegar to naturally stimulate digestion
🦴 Sip mineral-rich broths — to support your gut lining and calm inflammation
🧘♀️ Slow down and breathe — mindful eating activates your parasympathetic “rest + digest” system
Your digestion reflects your pace and your season.
Honor both — and your gut will thank you. 💛
