From bloating to clarity – the right way to fast for mental focus
Jul 21, 2025 5:06 am
Hi ,
Have you ever paused mid-thought, lost in a fog, wondering why your brain just won’t cooperate? And right behind that question is a louder, gassy discomfort whispering, “Let’s just fix this bloating first.”
That’s not just a random coincidence. That’s the gut-brain axis screaming for attention.
Let me say this straight, - your digestive unrest isn’t just about the food; it’s about how long you allow your gut to rest. Fasting, done wrongly, can hurt more than help. But done right? It can transform your foggy fatigue into sharp mental clarity.
Here’s how to fast smartly — not harshly:
Start small: Begin with a 12-hour window (e.g. 7 pm to 7 am). Let your body adjust without pressure.
Don’t skip nutrients: Break your fast with anti-inflammatory, whole foods - cooked veggies, soaked nuts, seeds.
Hydrate with intention: Warm water with ginger or fennel helps your body flush toxins.
Mindset is the secret spice: Fast with love, not fear. Tell your body, “I’m letting you heal.”
What if today, you picked just one of these and tried it out? Maybe you simply stop eating after sunset and feel the difference tomorrow?
Ready to feel mental clarity like never before?
Book a personalised consultation with me over WhatsApp and let’s figure out your best fasting rhythm for your gut and your goals.
, remember this: Medicines treat symptoms. Your natural immunity treats the cause. You don’t need to suffer from bloating, body pain, or confusion anymore. Just need to align with nature’s rhythm.
It’s always been inside you.
With love and fire,
