🌿 Why Your Gut Is Tired (And What Ancient Traditions Knew About Healing It)
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Do you feel bloated, exhausted, or feel foggy after every meal—even the “healthy” ones?
Maybe you’ve tried probiotics, cleanses, and all the gut health supplements but still don't feel right…
Your body is out of balance.

Your gut is tired.

You're off center.
Ancient traditions knew how to heal it—without pills or the will power we so desperately struggle to find, the older we get.

In 2019, I hit a wall.
I was living on coffee, wine, and willpower. Hustling in my work. Numbing through food.
Let's be real.... I was a mess—I was exhausted, irritable, apathetic and off.  
I suffered from bloating, skin issues, fatigue, mood swings.
And every time I tried to "fix it," I made it worse.
I tried probiotics, fasts, cleanses and every supplement the wellness industry provided.
I'd do well for a few weeks, get bored, resort to old behavior and begin the cycle all over again.
But on January 26, 2019, something shifted.
I made a decision.  That one simple act of deciding to do something different, changed everything for me.
I woke up, after a night of too much wine and beating myself up for yet again, doing something I told myself I wouldn't do.
I stepped into my kitchen.  My husband was at work, my baby was asleep.
It was early- maybe 5:45 am or so.  The fog was thick, the sky was grey— the weather matched my mood.  And in that moment, alone in my kitchen, I prepared a pot of bones, mirepoix, water, apple cider vinegar and salt.  I started it early to simmer on the stove all day, while I gathered my bearings and recalibrated.
For the first time in a long time, I exhaled. 
My gut relaxed.  My mind quieted its chatter.  My anxiety ceased its grip.
And that was the beginning of my return to center.


🧬 What We Get Wrong About Gut Health

Most modern wellness advice treats your gut like a problem to solve—instead of a relationship to repair.
Digestion doesn’t happen in isolation.
It’s shaped by:
  • Your nervous system
  • The speed of your life
  • The way you cook
  • The way you eat
When we rush, restrict, and overthink food, we put our gut into fight-or-flight.
And no amount of supplements can fix that.



🌿 What Ancient Traditions Did Differently

Our ancestors didn’t have cleanse kits.
They had time.
They had
 intention.
And they had practices that supported digestion on a foundational level.
Here are 3 ancestral food rituals that I still use every day to support my gut naturally:

1. Bone Broth as Daily Medicine

Broth is rich in collagen, minerals, and amino acids that help repair the gut lining and calm inflammation.
More importantly?
It’s warm, grounding, and signals safety to your body

2. Fermented Foods That Feed Your Microbiome
Before refrigeration, fermentation was everything.
These probiotic-rich foods support diversity in the gut—and they’re easy to make at home.
Start with sauerkraut or homemade yogurt.
You’ll be shocked how quickly your belly starts feeling… alive again.

3. Slowing Down While You Eat

This is transformational.
Your body can’t digest in stress. 
Try this:
  • Light a candle before you eat
  • Take 3 breaths before your first bite
  • Sit down. Put your phone away. Taste.
This tiny ritual alone can dramatically shift how you absorb your food.

 My Invitation to You: Start with the Reset

If you’re feeling tired, bloated, or overwhelmed by your relationship with food…
You don’t need a diet.
You don’t need more control.
You need rhythm.
You need ritual.
You need to remember.
That’s why I created the Ancestral Nutrition Reset—a free 3-day guide to help you:
✔️ Calm your digestion
✔️ Reconnect with your body
✔️ Start healing your gut naturally—without supplements
This is where my healing began.
And it would be an honor to walk this path with you.
With love,
Molly
