    1- Swap out refined foods with complex, fiber-rich, whole foods. Drink lots of water along.
    2- Probiotics and prebiotics (garlic, onion, beans, oats, etc.)
    3- Polyphenols (berries, green tea, cacao, etc.)
    4- Take a few breaths and relax before you eat. Chew food thoroughly.
    5- Eat until 80% full. Practice intuitive eating.
    6- Exercise.
    7-Avoid eating closer to bedtime.

    Something I must learn is chew more. And I seem to eat a snack at bedtime, but I must admit if I eat around 5:00 my food seems to digest much better. Thanks young lady, Im learning so much while watching your videos. Yeah

    Those are great tips! Being relaxed is very important for proper digestion. My biggest problems and bad habits are eating while stressed and eating too close to bed, and stuffing myself! I need to work on these three areas because I know they contribute to my gut dysfunction.

    I lost my brother to cancer in March then I had a 2nd child in September, I really need to start taking care of myself because I don't look after myself anymore. I need better sleep, diet and more exercise. We eat a lot of crap and this has got to change because I feel my health is quickly declining. This video has given me a lot to think about, thank you so much. Can you release a new video to help us set up a plan and set up a community on discord so that we can all help each other to improve our lifestyle?

    I have a confession to make. I’m a sugar addict. I need help weaning myself off. 😂I laugh but it really is a problem in me and America. I’m thought my diet was pretty good but I love sugar. I thought I can get away with 1 vice but no. I’m 20 lbs overweight because of it. I also have a lot a inflammation in my body that causes me issues. Any particular diet for that.

    Loooooove this female !!!!! Super smart , funny , great communication and enjoyable to listen too. And she mentioned “exercise “ ... nobody does that anymore. As a kid we all remember the food pyramid. Well that hasn’t ever gone out of style, But if you can remember back there was always a little picture of a person doing some kind of exercise, be it , running or swimming or weight training. I believe it’s still very important and thank you for mentioning it

    Unless it's a banana or a crazy thick root veggie, I'm actually trying to keep the skin on everything. I just recently ate a baked potato with the skin for the first time and was actually full for the night. I couldn't eat my chicken sandwich so I saved it for the next day. It's amazing how impactful fiber is especially insoluble

    Thank you Meghan, I have seen so many many videos on the Web with regards to gut and digestive system health,
    half of which haven't a clue what their talking about and you want to find someone who does and trying to persuade or push into buying, reading comments from people here says a lot and shows how much your believed in, reason I started looking up this topic, is I gave noticed changes, I can no longer gulp down thick pieces of chicken or steak due to getting caught
    Compared to when a few years younger rushing non stop,
    at night in bed acid reflux may occur, due to heavy eating just before bed, but I have slowed down and taken track of foods I eat and eating small pieces and slowly eating, this has helped 10 fold, now I'm looking for ways to improve to heal and to stay on track, this video has helped a lot, and look forward to seeing more of your helping tips..

It makes it more organic and this is just so cute! We see you more as a humain that we can relate too and less like a 100% perfect person that makes us feel bad/deminished about ourselves.

    I used to eat refined carbs and mostly meat for years(red meat, chicken, etc). About a month ago I changed my diet, less refined carbs & meat and also started adding veggies and fruit to my diet. My body probably haven't got used to the whole healthy diet thing cause I'm having problem with stools and I feel gassy all the time, does anyone know how long does your body need to adjust to a new diet?

    Hi Meghan!
    It would also be interesting to hear any recommendations about the meat consumption and meat cooking for the people with and without gut/digestion issues.
    And also if you have any tips on how to define what portion size is usually enough if there is a struggle with applying the "~80% being full" method. (I am currently trying to apply the "handful method" so I don't overeat). Because sometimes the crave for some flavour in the mouth is stronger than the feeling of being almost full 😅.
    And big thank you for sharing your knowledge, it is always a pleasure to learn from you! 😊

      Hi there! The low FODMAP diet is very helpful for those with IBS as a temporary solution for minimizing gut symptoms (such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea in some cases), understanding triggers, and then re-introducing foods slowly. I personally followed the low FODMAP diet for a while when my IBS was very severe. It was very helpful.
      I have an entire blog post about it as well: www.meghanlivingstone.com/what-is-the-low-fodmap-diet
      Hope this helps!

    Hey, I loved this video ! Could you make one about regulating glucose in the blood? I'm currently pregnant and been diagnosed with gestacional diabetes and I'm struggling with what can I eat and what not. Thank you !
