Gut inflammation is a silent killer.
It destroys your immune system, triples your colon cancer risk, and triggers painful joint flare-ups.
Yet most people fuel it daily without realizing it.
Here are 9 habits to cut before it cuts you: 🧵

Here are 9 habits to cut before it cuts you: 🧵
1. Daily stress
When you’re constantly stressed, your body dumps cortisol nonstop.
Over time, this weakens your
• gut lining
• disrupts digestion
• lets toxins leak into your bloodstream...
triggering full-body inflammation.

2. Processed food
Packaged and fast foods contain:
• Preservatives
• Emulsifiers
• Industrial oils
These disrupt gut bacteria and damage your lining.

3. Refined sugar & sweeteners
Sugar feeds harmful gut bacteria.
Artificial sweeteners reduce microbial diversity.
Both confuse your gut-brain signals.
Result: more gas, bloating, and inflammation.

4. Alcohol
Alcohol weakens the gut’s protective barrier.
It increases gut permeability (“leaky gut”).
Toxins leak into the bloodstream.
That triggers constant immune stress.

5. Omega-6 overload
Seed oils (soybean, corn, canola) are rich in omega-6.
Too much omega-6 fuels pro-inflammatory molecules.
Without enough omega-3s to balance it, your gut stays inflamed long-term.

6. Low fiber
Fiber feeds good gut bacteria.
No fiber = microbial die-off.
Your gut wall thins and weakens.
Inflammation becomes easier to trigger.

7. Overeating or fast eating
Large, rushed meals overwhelm your gut.
Food ferments instead of digesting.
This creates pressure, gas, and inflammation.
Your gut needs slow, steady rhythm.

8. NSAIDs & antibiotics
NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) irritate the gut lining.
Antibiotics wipe out healthy bacteria.
Both leave the gut exposed and inflamed.
Use only when absolutely necessary.

9. Poor sleep
Bad sleep increases inflammation markers overnight.
It lowers gut repair hormones like melatonin.
Your immune system weakens.
The gut barrier suffers as a result.

Chronic stress is the most overlooked trigger of gut inflammation.
It wrecks your digestion, weakens immunity, and keeps your body on high alert.
That’s why calming your system is step one in any healing protocol.
