Physical WEllness
gUT + mind
definition
Your gut does more than process food. It produces neurotransmitters (like serotonin), absorbs nutrients, communicates with the brain, and supports the immune system.
When something is off in your gut — digestion, inflammation, microbiome imbalance — it can ripple across your whole body.
Holistically, we view gut health as central to mood, energy, inflammation, focus, immune function, and even skin clarity.
WHY IT MATTERS
When your gut is imbalanced, your body may struggle with:
Fatigue and low energy
Nutrient malabsorption (even with a good diet)
Brain fog and mood swings
Autoimmune flares or allergic reactions
Bloating, constipation, diarrhea
Inflammation and skin conditions
Many physical health challenges can trace back to the gut — which is why healing it gently and sustainably can unlock major wellness shifts.
Holistic Considerations
We ask:
“What does my gut need to feel nourished, not just full?”
“What external and internal stressors might be disrupting my gut?”
We look at your nervous system, diet, environment (like mold or toxins), trauma history, and medication use — all of which impact the gut.
Holistic gut care is not one-size-fits-all. It’s about listening to your body and building awareness of your patterns and needs.
Supportive Tools & Practices
Gentle gut supports:
Bone broth, herbal teas (ginger, fennel, chamomile)
Proper food combining or spacing meals
Bitter herbs or digestive enzymes before meals
Probiotics (foods or supplements that work for you)
Nervous system regulation before/during meals (eat calm)
Foundational habits:
Identifying personal food triggers with kindness
Avoiding common inflammatory foods during healing (like gluten, seed oils, etc.)
Hydration with electrolytes
Healing the gut lining (L-glutamine, marshmallow root, aloe vera)
