Pre-Meal Bitters To Boost Digestion

- Separate large fluids from meals by ~10 minutes and slow your eating to improve stomach acid and enzyme action.
Chew Slower To Reduce Gut Symptoms
- Chew thoroughly and put the fork down between bites to reduce fermentation and gas.
- Slow, communal meals improve digestion and enjoyment compared with rushed, standing eating.

- Try the simple heel-drop drill (stand on toes, drop heels 10 times) to use gravity and help reflux before chasing chronic PPIs.
- Pair the drill with short-term digestive support while addressing root causes with a clinician.
