The Gut’s SOS Signals You’re Ignoring — and How Fasting Might Be Backfiring
Jul 27, 2025 5:06 am
Dear ,
Have you ever skipped a meal thinking, “I’m detoxing,”
…but ended up with a bloated belly, foggy brain, and a mood that could fight a wall?
You’re not alone. But you are being warned — by your gut. Loud and clear.
Here’s the thing no one’s telling you:
Your gut is a living, breathing community. When you fast without prepping it, you send it into survival mode, not healing mode.
Let me break down the top 3 SOS signals your gut sends when fasting goes wrong:
- Bloating like a balloon — Your good bacteria die off, and the bad guys throw a party.
- Brain fog — Without fuel, your gut stops sending happy, clear signals to the brain. You lose focus, joy, and sharpness.
- Mood crashes + cravings — When serotonin tanks, you’re not fasting anymore. You’re just suffering.
If you think you’re “detoxing” but feel puffy, moody, and spaced out — you’re not healing.
You’re irritating your gut’s defense system.
Simple Fix Today:
Before any fasting window, have a warm drink with:
1 tsp soaked chia + a pinch of rock salt + a squeeze of lemon in warm water.
It gives your gut a sense of safety — so it doesn’t scream later.
Ask yourself this, ,
Is your current fasting routine calming your inflammation or confusing your body?
If the answer isn’t peace, energy, and better digestion — we need to realign.
Book a one on one consultation with me over WhatsApp. We will figure out whether your gut needs fasting, feeding, or just some gentle love.
Because your gut is not a machine.
It’s your first responder, your intuitive guide — and it’s trying to talk to you.
