It’s becoming common knowledge in scientific circles that our guts, or “second brains,” have a symbiotic relationship with almost every other system in our bodies.
The elements conspiring to rob your gut’s microbiome of its healthy bacteria have a three-fold plan:
Tamper with your digestion
Drain you of your energy
And slow down
The word “ayurvedic” can have elitist connotations for some.

There’s nothing wrong with eating a second helping…
Unless, of course, you’re already full. And you’re not really sure why you’re eating the second helping. And when you’ve finished, you feel bloated and immobile and sleepy. And you fall asleep shortly after finishing, forcing your body to digest your meal in your sleep, which forces your digestive system to work twice as hard and impedes the quality of sleep you’re getting.
In the ever-evolving field of gut health research, scientists are asking the question: Is overeating less of a personal choice and more of a chemical response in the body?
In other words, can eating for pleasure, instead of eating to stave hunger, actually be traced to bacteria in the gut’s microbiome?
Metropolitan convenience and connection seemed like a much better idea before March 2020. Although plenty of us have benefited from deliverable groceries and meals, easy

In part one of this article, we discussed the first two phases of digestion: intake and breakdown.
Although it may seem obvious to some, most people are vastly unaware of how their digestion actually operates. And if you don’t understand the mechanism itself, fixing the mechanism is a moot point.
(If you don’t understand what’s under the hood of your car, you could end up replacing coolant endlessly when the answer is a blown capacitor. I don’t know anything about cars — see how crazy that sounds?)
So in this post, we’re going to continue down through the digestive tract on our adult-level refresher of the system that effectively determines every feeling we have.
