Listened on: Storytel Audiobook

Chosen to align with this month’s menu (focused on gut-friendly meals) and movement practice (grounding, core-strengthening, and slow-paced flow), this book is more than a read — it’s an anchor to the whole experience of living well through what we eat and how we absorb it.

Digestion is not only a mechanical process — it’s deeply connected to our nervous system, mental clarity, immune function, and emotional regulation. This book helps you understand those links through clear explanations and gentle guidance.

🌿 What I Took Away from the Book (And You Might Too!)

Your gut has a mind of its own.
Literally! It’s called the “second brain” for a reason — your gut and your emotions are deeply connected.

Relax before you eat.
Your body digests best when it’s calm. Deep breath, phone down, sit down. That’s where the magic starts.

Chew like it matters — because it does.
Digestion actually begins in the mouth. The more you chew, the easier it is for your body to do the rest.

Bitters & ferments are your gut’s best friends.
A little sauerkraut or rocket salad goes a long way in waking up your digestive fire.

Stress = stuck digestion.
When you're tense, your body hits pause on digestion. A few slow breaths can make a big difference.

What comes out matters too.
Yep, we’re talking about poop. It’s your body’s way of telling you how it’s really doing.

📌 Next Step for You:
Notice how you eat this week. Choose one meal a day to eat slowly, chew fully, and connect with your food. Your gut will thank you.
