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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
