The morning habit silently damaging your gut
Jun 20, 2025 5:06 am
Hey
Let me ask you this:
What’s the first thing you do every morning?
If it’s reaching for your phone, coffee, or skipping breakfast…
You might be unknowingly turning on your gut’s stress switch — before the day even begins.
Yes, that innocent morning rush — no breath, no chew, no pause — is the fastest way to inflame your gut and invite anxiety, bloating, and fatigue.
But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Here are 2 gut-loving swaps you can begin tomorrow morning:
Tip #1 – Oil Pulling (1 tsp cold-pressed coconut oil for 5 mins)
This ancient practice helps reduce harmful bacteria, boosts oral-gut immunity, and sets your system into detox mode before you eat anything.
Tip #2 – Break your fast with warm water + 1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
It gently wakes your digestion, reduces gas, and balances your stomach acid naturally — unlike tea or coffee which often spike cortisol and gut inflammation.
These are small actions. But they speak directly to your gut brain, saying:
“You’re safe. You can digest. You can heal today.”
Today’s reflection, :
Is my morning routine calming my gut… or confusing it into fight mode?
If mornings feel rushed, tired, or bloated — let’s change that.

With morning light and love,
