As the seasons shift, so do your body's rhythms, including digestion. In fall, many people notice their gut feels more sensitive.
You might feel heavier or more bloated after meals, slower digestion, less appetite in the morning, and even more gas or constipation. Cooler weather, longer nights, and the body's natural move toward "slowing down" can reduce digestive fire, slow motility, and shift your microbiome.
If this sounds like you, here are 5 easy ways to reset your gut this fall:
- Warming, cooked foods like soups, stews, and roasted vegetables that are easier to digest
- Fiber-rich seasonal produce like squash, carrots, apples, and leafy greens to nourish your microbiome
- Bitters before meals (like arugula, dandelion, or a small splash of ACV) to stimulate digestion naturally
- Mineral-rich broths to support the gut lining and reduce inflammation
- Slower meals, more chewing, and mindful breathing to activate your parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest)
