Welcome to Your 7-Day Gut-Healing Meal Plan

Your journey to vibrant health starts here! As a Functional Medicine practitioner, I believe true wellness begins in the gut. Your gut is more than just a digestive system—it’s the foundation of your immune health, energy levels, and even mood. When your gut is balanced, your whole body thrives.

This meal plan is thoughtfully designed to:

• 🌿 Reduce inflammation with nutrient-dense, whole foods.
• 💪 Support digestion with gut-friendly ingredients.
• ⚡ Boost your energy and help you feel your best every day.

Each recipe is easy to prepare, delicious, and packed with ingredients that nourish your body from the inside out. Whether you're new to gut health or already making strides toward wellness, this plan is here to guide you.

How to Use This Meal Plan

To get the most out of this plan, here are a few tips:

Meal Prep is Key

Set aside a little time to prepare meals or snacks in advance. This ensures healthy choices are always within reach, even on busy days.

For example, wash and chop vegetables ahead of time or prepare smoothie ingredients for quick blending in the morning.

Flexibility is Built In

Feel free to swap ingredients based on your preferences, allergies, or what you have on hand. Can’t find quinoa? Substitute brown rice. Not a fan of salmon? Try cod or chicken instead.

Each meal is adaptable while maintaining the core principles of gut-healing nutrition.

Tips for Success: Making the Most of Your 7-Day Gut-Healing Meal Plan

Achieving vibrant health is about more than just what you eat—it’s also about how you approach your meals and your lifestyle. These tips will help you get the best results from this plan and support your gut-healing journey:

Stay Hydrated

• Start your day with a glass of warm lemon water to kickstart digestion and support detoxification.
• Aim to drink at least 8-10 cups of water daily, and consider herbal teas like ginger or peppermint for added gut-soothing benefits.

Focus on Whole, Unprocessed Foods

• Say goodbye to processed foods for the week! Choose fresh, whole ingredients that are free from artificial additives.
• Avoid refined sugars, preservatives, and inflammatory oils to give your gut a break and let it heal naturally.

Practice Mindful Eating

• Slow down and savor each bite. Chewing thoroughly is the first step in good digestion.
• Pay attention to how your body feels during meals. Stop eating when you’re satisfied, not stuffed.

Prepare Ahead of Time

• Make meal prep part of your weekly routine. Wash, chop, and portion ingredients in advance to save time and reduce stress.
• Batch cook staples like quinoa, roasted veggies, or soups to enjoy throughout the week.

Avoid Common Triggers

• Limit caffeine, alcohol, and processed dairy products, as these can disrupt gut health.
• Instead, opt for gut-friendly alternatives like herbal teas, kombucha, and plant-based yogurts.

Tune Into Your Body

• Keep a journal to track how you feel after meals. Noticing patterns can help you identify foods that support your energy and digestion.
• Remember, it’s okay to make adjustments if something doesn’t work for you.

By staying mindful of these tips, you’ll set yourself up for success and take important steps toward a healthier, happier gut. Here’s to feeling your best! 💚
