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.


Book a personalised one on one consultation with me over WhatsApp. Let’s start your day with healing — not inflammation.


With morning light and love,
