Dry fasting can reshape your gut microbiome

Bloated? Inflamed? Struggling with gut issues that just won’t shift? Even with a clean diet?

Research on dry fasting (like during Ramadan) shows it can reshape our gut microbiome

  • lowering harmful, inflammatory bacteria

  • boosting protective species like Akkermansia and Bifidobacteria

  • strengthening the gut lining

It’s like hitting the RESET button on our digestive system — but it’s not for everyone, and should be done carefully if your gut is already fragile.

Sometimes the key to better digestion, less bloating, and calmer inflammation isn’t what you eat and drink, but when you do or don’t eat or drink.

This is one of the tools in my healing arsenal
