Thank you for taking the Metabolic Type Quiz
Digestion is one of the foundations of good health. When the digestive system is working well, food is broken down properly, nutrients are absorbed efficiently and the body has the raw materials it needs to produce energy, regulate hormones and maintain a healthy metabolism.
When digestion is not working as effectively as it should, those processes begin to slow. Nutrients may not be absorbed as well as they need to be, which can affect everything from energy levels to hormone balance and weight regulation.
We’ve matched you with the right supplements
In women who fall into the Digestion Type, the gut often needs additional support to do its job properly.
This can show up in a number of ways. Bloating after meals. Sluggish digestion. Irregular bowel movements. Brain fog or fatigue after eating. Sometimes weight becomes harder to shift, even when the diet itself is healthy, simply because the body is not extracting nutrients as efficiently as it should.
The encouraging thing about the Digestion Type is that the gut usually responds very well when it is supported properly.
This is where to start.
Take a moment to breathe before eating
Digestion is strongly influenced by the nervous system. When we are stressed or rushing, the body diverts resources away from digestion and towards the muscles as part of the fight-or-flight response. Taking a minute or two before meals to slow the breath helps shift the body into a rest and digest state, allowing digestive enzymes and stomach acid to work more effectively.
Prepare protein in ways that support digestion
Marinating meat or fish in lemon juice or vinegar before cooking begins to break down protein fibres before they reach the digestive system. Slow cooking methods such as stewing or braising can also make protein easier to digest. For nuts, seeds and pulses, soaking them before cooking improves how well they are tolerated.
Add fermented foods
A small serving of live, unpasteurised sauerkraut with meals provides beneficial bacteria together with the fibres that help support them. This is one of the simplest daily habits for supporting the gut microbiome.
