Welcome to Day 1 of my 5-Day Mini Gut Health Series! Today, I’m diving into the cephalic phase of digestion – the step that begins before you even take a bite.
My #1 tip for better digestion? Chew your food properly. This simple habit activates the vagus nerve, stimulates stomach acid and digestive enzyme release, and slows down your nervous system so your body can actually absorb nutrients.
If you struggle with bloating, indigestion, or low energy after meals, this could be the game-changing shift you need.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why digestion really starts in your brain
- How chewing sets up your gut for success
- The vagus nerve’s role in slowing you down and reducing bloating
- The quickest way to improve digestion today
