Gut Check: Is Your Digestion Sabotaging Your Energy?

When you think about energy, you probably think about sleep, caffeine, or exercise. But here’s something most people miss: your gut might be the reason you feel drained and fatigued.

A sluggish digestive system doesn’t just affect your stomach it can impact your mood, focus, and even motivation.

Signs Your Gut Might Need Some Love

• Feeling bloated or sluggish after meals.

• Afternoon energy dips that coffee doesn’t fix.

• Brain fog, irritability, or mood swings.

• Trouble with regularity or digestion.

The Gut–Brain Connection

Your gut is often called your “second brain” and for good reason. About 90% of your serotonin (the feel-good hormone) is made in your digestive system. When your gut is unhappy, your mood and energy are very much affected.

Daily Gut Support Made Simple

• Fiber: keeps digestion moving smoothly and helps you feel fuller, longer. We all need to aim for a minimum of 25 grs or fiber each day.

• Aloe: soothes the digestive tract and supports nutrient absorption.

• Probiotics: replenish the “good bacteria” your gut needs to thrive.
