Maud's Toolkit

Habits, techniques, and the stuff that costs nothing but doing it.

Fiber before fermented foods

Feed the good bacteria you have before you add more of it. Order matters.

Habit check

Eat on a rhythm, not just content

Your gut runs on timing as much as what's on the plate. Same times, most days.

Daily habit

Chew until it's actually mush

Digestion starts in your mouth. Rushing this step just moves the problem downstream.

Quick fix

Walk five minutes after eating

Short walks measurably speed gut motility. Doesn't need to be a workout.

After meals
Ask Maud

"Maud, why does my stomach sound like a whale migration after lunch?"

Because it's communicating, darling. Rudely, but communicating. Fiber first, judgment later.
