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:


  1. Bloating like a balloon — Your good bacteria die off, and the bad guys throw a party.
  2. Brain fog — Without fuel, your gut stops sending happy, clear signals to the brain. You lose focus, joy, and sharpness.
  3. 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.


With truth, not trends,
