I always thought my digestion would improve when I finally found the perfect supplement, or when a test would finally show something was wrong.
Hiđđź Iâm Lindsey Lindsey | GUT HEALTH & HOLISTIC WELLNESS COACH former nurse practitioner turned gut health coach after years of personal struggle before finally healing my gut + having total food freedom.
Turns out.. the biggest difference in my overall digestion came from doing a few simple things that make a big impact over time.
1. I check in with myself.
A few times a day I pause and ask, âWhat do I need right now?â Slowing down and practicing the pause has been one of the biggest improvements for my digestion.
2. I take a few minutes each morning for myself (usually.. if you have kids, ya you knowđ)
Coffee. Prayer. Stillness. Breathwork. Even 5 minutes helps set the tone for my entire day
3. I prioritize protein and fiber at every meal.
Protein gets all the hype, but fiber is just as important for feeding your gut bacteria and keeping digestion moving. It can be a challenge for some to get fiber in, but once you do itâs a game changer.

4. I keep meals and hydration consistent.
Instead of skipping meals or trying to âcatch upâ later, I aim for regular meals and steady water intake throughout the day. Your gut loves consistency. This helps keep our digestion steady.
5. I keep food neutral.
No âgoodâ foods. No âbadâ foods. Just patterns over time. Most of my meals support my goals, which also means I can enjoy fun foods without guilt.
6. I get outside every morning.
Even 5-10 minutes of sunlight within the first hour of waking helps- it regulates my bodyâs internal clock, improves my sleep, and keeps my nervous system and digestion happier throughout the day.
None of these are fancy.
But after 20+ years of digestive issues⌠these simple habits have made the biggest difference.

So bloated you look 6 months pregnant- yet you have zero answers or explanation.
Hi! Iâm Lindsey Lindsey | GUT HEALTH & HOLISTIC WELLNESS COACH - former nurse practitioner turned gut health coach after going through my own journey just like you. Iâm so glad youâre here!
Comment âFIBERâ to get my free high fiber low bloat foods list if you feel like everything makes you bloated (even water đŠ).
I know firsthand how incredibly frustrating it can be to feel like this:
you donât know what to eat because at this point you canât tell what creates problems and what doesnât.
You keep hearing âeat more fiberâ but fiber just makes it worse.
Youâre sick of wearing yoga pants and oversized tees just to hide your pregnant looking stomach.
And hearing âeverything is normalâ no longer feels like a relief, but makes you want to scream and maybe even want to punt someone across the room đ
Come follow me at Lindsey | GUT HEALTH & HOLISTIC WELLNESS COACH where I share realistic but holistic strategies to improve digestive and eat the foods you love again.

Digestive urgency shouldnât be deciding where you go or what you say yes to.
If youâre tired of constantly managing it and ready to understand what may actually be contributing, comment START and Iâll reach out.
Will Diet Coke wreck your gut?
Most wellness gurus will tell you yes (i used to think so too)
No it wonât wreck your gut microbiome
No it wonât sabotage your health.
No it wonât create blood sugar imbalances.
You would have to consume and ungodly amount of aspartame in order for it to affect your gut in the way that most wellness influencers lead you to believe.
Thatâs all.
And thatâs the end âđź
One of the biggest misconceptions I see with our clients is eating healthy should fix your bloating.
In reality, many women are eating plenty of healthy foods and still struggling because the issue isnât always what theyâre eating, rather itâs how their digestive system is functioning(or not).
Three common root causes I see:
âď¸ Eating plenty of fiber, but the gut isnât breaking it down efficiently due to underlying imbalances(we see this on testing)
âď¸ Poor meal hygiene and eating mechanics (rushing meals, multitasking, eating under stress, not chewing thoroughly, etc).
âď¸ Chronic stress which can reduce digestive function and slow motility (essentially stopping the assembly line in your gut)
The goal isnât to fear healthy foods or avoid them.
Instead, letâs actually look deeper into why your body isnât tolerating them the way it should.
Have you ever been told to âjust eat more fiberâ and felt worse? Same, sis. But we both know that just makes things worse.
Comment BLOATED if thatâs you. And letâs chat đ
Sick of being told âeverything looks normalâ when your gut feels anything but normal?
If youâre tired of bloating, stomach pain, and being handed another prescription or a âjust avoid these foods foreverâ list⌠itâs time for a different approach.
You donât need another bandaid.
You need answers.
When we dig deeper and find the root cause, EVERYTHING changes.
DM me or comment HEAL and letâs talk about how to finally get a plan that works for YOUR body. No guessing. No quick fixes. Real solutions and a real plan that is actually sustainable
Had to go on antibiotics and worried about your gut health?
Hereâs what to do:
First⌠if you genuinely need antibiotics, donât be a fool and not take them. Antibiotics can be life saving and Iâve seen too many people try to fight real serious infection ânaturallyâ and they end up pretty sick.
And if you need them, that is OK! (Also want to make sure we arenât just taking them for any little sniffle)
Depending on if we know what your underlying gut microbiome looks like before antibiotics, we may recommend a probiotic supplement to help replenish what was wiped out. I have also seen people who already have way too heavily populated levels of bacteria(both good and bad) so we donât always need to give a probiotic.
Something we can all do regardless of wha our gut environment looks like is intentionally focus on lot of probiotic rich foods. Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, etc. my two favorites for the sake of ease and taste to recommend are cocojune yogurt and kefir. Both have a high amount of probiotics in a serving.
If youâve been on antibiotics and canât seem to get your digestion back quite right afterwards- comment PROBIOTIC so we can have a conversation if comprehensive stool testing would be a good next step for you.
Do you need traditional antibiotics to successfully get rid of H . Pylori?
Iâm going to break it down and why.
If you have H Pylori, and want to avoid traditional antibiotics, then comment GUT and we can see what options are right for you!
