Why a 7-Day Gut Reset?
A lot can change in a week when you:
- Remove gut irritants
- Support digestion naturally
- Feed good bacteria
- Calm inflammation
- Realign your gut-brain connection
While true healing takes time, 7 days is enough to reduce symptoms, improve regularity, and rebuild momentum toward lasting gut health.
3 Core Pillars of the 7-Day Gut Reset
1. Eat Gut-Loving Foods
- Focus on fiber-rich veggies, berries, oats, fermented foods, and clean proteins.
- Prioritize cooked over raw (easier on digestion).
2. Remove Common Gut Stressors
- Avoid added sugars, ultra-processed foods, fried foods, excess caffeine, and alcohol.
- Minimize gluten and dairy if you’re sensitive.
3. Support Your Mind-Body Connection
- Daily movement, stress reduction, and mindful eating are part of the plan.
