When a healthy diet makes you ill. What your gut is trying to tell you.
🧬 What your gut wants to tell you - but not in words
A highly complex system lives in your stomach:
yours Microbiome (intestinal flora).
Several trillion microorganisms that make the difference,
whether you turn food into energy - or into fermentation, inflammation and exhaustion.
This ecosystem is not a spectator.
It reacts to everything you eat.
But also to what you feel.
To stress. Sleep. Medication.
And to every meal, no matter how "healthy" it may be.
Because broccoli is only healthy
if your intestines can process it.
Otherwise it becomes a ferment.
Oat flakes are only digestible -
if your bacteria maintain the balance.
Otherwise it will turn into a bloated belly with reverberations.
🔄 When your MICROBIOME is out of balance
This is known as dysbiosis.
A condition in which the balance between beneficial and harmful bacteria is disturbed.
Frequent triggers:
- Antibiotics
- Constant stress
- Low-fiber diet
- unbalanced diets
- Excessive hygiene
- Too little variety on the plate
The consequences are gradual:
- Bloated stomach even though you eat little
- Constant change between constipation and soft stools
- Cravings, especially in the evening
- Tiredness after eating
- Reactions to foods that you used to tolerate well
📉 And suddenly "HEALTHY" is no longer compatible
In practice, this means
Many people are eating more vegetables, more whole grains, more raw foods -
and feel worse and worse.
Because her body is not working against her - but is overtaxed,
with things that would actually be helpful.
The microbiome then does not need a new diet.
It needs a reset,
a phase of reassurance,
a return to biological cooperation.
What your gut needs now - simply explained
Many call it "Dietary fiber".
But the term is misleading. It sounds as if it is too much, too heavy - a ballast.
In fact, it's about something completely different:
natural plant fibers that your body does not digest -
but love your good gut bacteria.
These special fibers act as a targeted feed for your microbiome.
And they don't make you fat - they make you healthy:
They help your intestines,
- repair its mucous membrane
- Regulate inflammation
- Reduce gases
- and harmonize your digestion.
The great thing is that you don't need any superfoods.
Just a clear, small impulse - every day.
🕊 Your new mini ROUTINE - for a calmer tummy
1. in the morning:
- 1 glass of lukewarm water
- 1 spoonful of a soluble plant fiber (e.g. from acacia fiber or baobab)
- Drink slowly - like an inner conversation with your stomach
2. noon:
- Mildly cooked vegetables such as fennel, zucchinis or carrots
- with a dash of olive oil
- Chew well, not on the side - your nervous system eats with you
3rd evening:
- a light, warm meal: e.g. a soup with boiled rice, sweet potato or pumpkin
- with a little fresh ginger, turmeric or caraway - this calms
- No raw vegetable salads, no ice-cold meals - your gut wants warmth and simplicity
4. after the meal:
- 2 minutes of abdominal breathing while sitting or lying down
- Inhale through the nose for 4 seconds
- keep it short
- Breathe out for 8 seconds (through your nose or slightly open mouth)
- meanwhile place one hand on your stomach
This way of breathing not only calms the head - it also specifically activates the vagus nerve, which signals your gut:
"You can let go."

✨ Conclusion
Eating healthily is not enough,
if your intestines are not in balance.
But you can rebuild this balance.
Not with discipline. But with understanding.
Not with renunciation. But with connection.
With a glass of water.
With a spoonful of gentleness.
With a new way of dealing with yourself.
Maybe that's what you need,
no new plan.
But a small daily impulse,
that makes the difference.
Healthy is not what's on your plate - it's what your gut can make out of it.
