Monsoon Fasting – Is It a Gut Blessing or Hidden Burden

Jul 15, 2025 5:06 am

Hey ,


You know what’s fascinating?

Every monsoon, just like clockwork, nature cleanses itself. The skies pour, the soil breathes, the trees detox. And so do we… or at least, we try.


Fasting during the monsoon has become a spiritual and seasonal tradition. But here’s the real question that your gut is secretly begging you to ask:


Is monsoon fasting actually healing my gut or just stressing it more?

Because here’s the gut truth: Fasting can either help your gut reset or ignite a war inside your microbiome. Especially if you’re someone struggling with IBS, bloating, psoriasis flare-ups, or chronic fatigue the kind where doctors say, “Your reports are normal,” but your body feels anything but.


So, , let me guide you to a softer, wiser form of fasting one that loves your gut as much as your spirit.


Here are 3 simple monsoon fasting tips I want you to try this week:

1. Start with a “micro-fast” – Try a 12:12 fasting window (eat for 12 hours, rest for 12). It’s gentle, effective, and doesn’t confuse your hormones.

2. Swap fried vrat foods for steamed or sautéed options with gut-friendly spices like ginger, ajwain, and fennel.

3. Break your fast with something warm and grounding – like moong dal soup or sautéed lauki with jeera.


If you feel like your gut and brain are not in sync lately, you’re not alone.

And it’s not your fault either. It’s just that no one taught you how gut emotions, inflammation, and poor digestion are all part of the same storm.

But now, you know. And you can begin.
