Send us a text

When your gut whispers, it’s not a murmur, it’s a message stitched from every win, wound, and wild hope you carry. In the rush to be “reasonable,” have you silenced the only compass that truly knows you? Quiet the noise, lean closer, and listen; it’s ready to reveal your next brave step, and it just might change everything. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing everything right, but I still don’t feel like myself,” this episode is for you.

Welcome to the High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle podcast, the place where confusion turns into clarity and small daily choices lead to lasting heart health. I’m Donna Williams, a Certified Holistic Health Coach, serving my community of color and everyone seeking a realistic, culturally responsive path to vibrant living.

Today we’re talking about the quiet ways your gut asks for help. We’ll explore 5 hidden signs your gut might be involved, 5 gentle tools to support it, and a mindful, doable approach to eating that feeds both your body and your nervous system.

Why Your Gut Matters More Than You Think!

5 Hidden Signs Your Gut Is Asking for Help.

So let's do A Mindful Pause. Before we shift into tools, let’s take 20 seconds. Drop your shoulders. Unclench your jaw. Place a hand on your belly and one on your chest. Inhale gently through your nose for a count of four. Exhale slowly through pursed lips for a count of six. Twice more. You just told your body it is safe to digest, absorb, and rest.

If you want a structured, warm pathway to make practices like this part of your meals and your day, consider joining my “mindful eating the whole plate online program.”
