Mini Mikkipedia - Tackling Digestive Ups and Downs on a Protein-Sparing Fast


Listen Later

Miki dives into the often-avoided topic of digestion during protein-sparing modified fasts (PSMF). If you’ve ever wondered why your gut behaves differently on these lean-protein days, this one’s for you. Miki explains what’s happening physiologically—from changes in bile flow and microbiota to electrolyte shifts—and how these can lead to constipation or, less commonly, diarrhea. She walks through practical, evidence-based strategies to get your digestion back on track, including hydration, magnesium types, vitamin C dosing, bitters, and soothing supports like slippery elm. Learn how to troubleshoot gut symptoms so your PSMF days feel as good as they look on paper.

Highlights:

  • Why constipation is common on low-fat, low-fibre, high-protein days
  • How bile flow, hydration, and electrolytes affect gut motility
  • Magnesium, vitamin C, and bitters as tools for smoother digestion
  • Gentle fixes for diarrhea and when to adjust supplements
  • The transitional nature of gut changes during PSMF
