Dr. Abby Borkowski returns to discuss gut health, focusing on lifestyle-driven "clinical pearls" to reduce bloating by improving the body's relationship with food.

3 Tips to Reduce Bloating

• Support the Nervous System: Shift from "fight or flight" (sympathetic) to "rest and digest" (parasympathetic) by taking five deep belly breaths before eating.
• Practice Presence: Remove technology and blue light (phones, TV) during meals to better recognize hunger and satiation signals.
• Train the Migrating Motor Complex (MMC): Allow 3.5 to 4 hours between meals without snacking to let the gut's "cleaning cycle" fully clear the digestive tract.

Clinical Approach

Dr. Abby Borkowski prioritizes nervous system balance and chiropractic care before moving to advanced testing like GI maps, food sensitivity screens, or hormone panels.
