We explore the complex relationship between digestive health and overall wellness, revealing how malabsorption issues can cascade into widespread physical and mental health problems.

• Proper chewing (20-30 times per bite) is essential for mechanical breakdown and optimal digestion
• Adequate hydration (64-84 oz daily) is crucial for digestive enzyme function
• Long-term use of medications like PPIs and antibiotics can disrupt gut health
• The gut-brain axis explains why digestive issues often manifest as mental health symptoms
• B vitamins, magnesium and essential fatty acids from the gut directly impact brain function
• Digestive dysfunction disrupts hormonal signaling that regulates hunger and metabolism
• Fatty liver disease and gallbladder issues often stem from poor dietary choices rather than alcohol
• Treating the root cause of malabsorption requires addressing diet, lifestyle, and possibly bacterial/fungal overgrowth

Taking digestive enzymes and magnesium supplements can help improve gut function when used alongside proper eating habits and stress management techniques.
