There's nothing worse than feeling like you swallowed a brick… Know what I mean? You eat what seems like a perfectly healthy meal, but 20 minutes later, your stomach feels like it's filled with concrete – Nothing's moving, you're bloated, and the worst part? You can't figure out what you did wrong. | | Most people immediately blame what they ate. (I used to do the same!) But here's what recent research is showing: Your body can't properly digest anything – even the healthiest foods – unless certain digestive triggers get activated first. See, your stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and bile don't just automatically switch on when food shows up... They need specific signals to start working. And modern life is full of hidden things that block these crucial signals. | | Here are 3 surprisingly weird things that slow your digestive down: 1. Brushing your teeth (too soon before eating) That minty-fresh feeling? It dulls your taste receptors and your production of digestive enzymes. Plus, common toothpaste ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate block the signals that trigger your stomach acid. 2. Cold feet (literally!) When your feet are cold, your body prioritizes warmth over digestion and reroutes blood away from your gut. 3. Fight or flight Read a work email right before lunch? Your brain immediately shifts into "protection mode": Your gut tenses up, stomach acid production drops, and that healthy lunch just sits there – Fermenting instead of digesting properly. So what can you do to get things moving again? | | Here are 4 simple, science-backed ways to support better digestion: Rinse your mouth with plain water before meals (if you've recently brushed) to reset your taste receptors and wake up those digestive enzymes. Keep your feet cozy during meals with socks or slippers. This tells your body it's safe to divert energy to digestion. Take 5 deep belly breaths before eating to switch your nervous system from stressed to "digest" mode. Eat bitter herbs. These plant compounds are like natural alarm clocks for your digestive system – They wake up your stomach acid, bile, and enzymes, so you can break down food fast and keep things moving (so nothing sits in your stomach like a rock). Plus, bitters naturally kickstart your body's production of GLP-1... helping you feel satisfied instead of snacky. That's probably why, for thousands of years, cultures worldwide have consumed bitter herbs like dandelion, gentian root, and barberry with their meals. But let's be real... When was the last time you had a side of dandelion with dinner? Enter Just Thrive Digestive Bitters. It's formulated with 12 clinically proven bitter herbs in one tasteless capsule that naturally tell your digestive system "Hey! Time to do your job!"
