10 Anti-Inflammatory Gut Habits Women Need for Calmer Digestion & More Energy

I’ve been seeing clients for 12 years, and these are my top 10 anti-inflammatory recommendations.

They’re the shortcut to a happier gut, steadier energy, and a more resilient body.

If you want less bloating, better elimination, and more energy… start here.

Your Top 10 Anti-Inflammatory Gut Habits

1. Hydrate with minerals (especially magnesium + potassium) 💧

Magnesium and potassium are the “keys” that open your cells so you actually absorb water.

Without minerals, hydration is just bloat, not biology.


2. Stop grazing and return to three real meals 🍽️

Eating every 3.5–4 hours strengthens digestive fire, balances hormones, improves motility, and calms inflammation triggered by nonstop snacking.


3. Add ghee to your morning tea ☕

A spoonful of ghee in warm tea smooths cortisol spikes, delivers steady energy, and nourishes the gut lining with anti-inflammatory fatty acids.


4. Replace butter and industrial seed oils with ghee 🧈

Ghee is heat-stable and gut-nourishing, while canola, sunflower, and safflower oils oxidize easily and drive inflammation, especially in digestion.

If your “healthy” oil is making you feel heavy, bloated, or inflamed… it might not be healthy for you.


5. Swap cane sugar for coconut sugar or maple syrup 🍯

These lower-glycemic sweeteners create fewer inflammatory blood sugar swings and go much easier on your gut.


6. Cook with ginger and turmeric every day 🌿

This duo boosts digestive enzymes, improves circulation to the gut, and provides potent anti-inflammatory protection.


7. Load up on vitamin C (Amalaki if you can find it) 🍋

Vitamin C reduces oxidative stress and supports gut-lining repair.

Amalaki offers a gentle, ultra-absorbable Ayurvedic form that deeply rejuvenates the system.


8. Eat kitchari once a week 🍲

A kitchari meal gives your gut a break, stabilizes blood sugar, and delivers easily absorbed protein, minerals, and soothing spices.

Kitchari is a delicious, soothing blend of lentils, rice, and spices that’s naturally anti-inflammatory, gluten-free, and unbelievably gut-friendly.


9. Do a seasonal kitchari cleanse 🌙

This simple reset lowers inflammation, improves elimination, and restores gut–brain clarity by letting your digestion rest and repair.


10. Favor warm, cooked foods over cold, raw meals 🔥

Warm foods support enzyme function, reduce bloating, and keep inflammation down by easing the workload on your digestive system.


My Favorite Gut-Soothing Staples (Add These Often)

I’ve helped hundreds of women lose weight, lower inflammation, and boost energy, brain health, and vitality.

These are my favorite gut-soothing, inflammation-cooling staples to keep on repeat.

  • Kitchari – The easiest meal your gut will ever meet: soothing, anti-inflammatory, and instantly calming to your whole system.
  • Ginger + Turmeric – The ultimate gut-powered power couple: fires up digestion and cools inflammation.
  • Lemons + Limes – A squeeze of citrus floods your body with vitamin C to brighten your gut, your skin, and your energy.
  • Cooked cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts) – Cook them (don’t eat them raw!) for sulforaphane, the detox-loving compound your liver adores.
  • Raw honey – Naturally antimicrobial and prebiotic, it sweetens your day while soothing your gut.
  • Pure cacao – Rich in polyphenols and magnesium, it calms inflammation and boosts mood from the gut up.
  • Ghee – A gut-loving, anti-inflammatory fat that keeps everything running smoothly.
Start with 2 habits this week. Then stack from there. Your gut loves consistency more than perfection.
