Let’s talk gut health folks—because your gut is talking to you every single day. Bloating, brain fog, fatigue, skin breakouts, food cravings, and even mood swings? That’s not just “life”—it’s often your gut asking for help.
AC Art Of Food approaches gut health the holistic way—with whole foods, mindful eating, blood-type alignment, and a sprinkle of ancestral wisdom to help you rebalance from the inside out.
This isn’t just about probiotics and green smoothies (though those help too!). It’s about understanding your gut as the foundation of your total wellness—mind, body, and soul.
Your gut—aka your digestive system—is home to more than 70% of your immune system and is often called the “second brain.” That’s because the gut communicates directly with your nervous system through the gut-brain axis, which affects your mood, sleep, immunity, hormones, and more.
When your gut is out of balance, it can lead to:
Bloating, gas, and constipation
Nutrient malabsorption
Chronic inflammation
Food sensitivities
Anxiety, depression, and low energy
The good news? You can heal your gut naturally—with a little intention and a lot of love.
5 Holistic Ways to Heal & Support Your Gut Naturally
1. Eat Real, Whole Foods—Tailored to Your Blood Type
Every bite you take is either healing or harming your gut lining. AC Art Of Food goes deeper by helping you eat in alignment with your blood type for maximum gut peace.
Type O thrives on lean proteins and cooked greens—less dairy, more fiber-rich veggies.
Type A benefits from plant-based proteins and soothing grains.
Type B loves balance—diverse veggies, clean proteins, and lighter grains.
Type AB is intuitive—best served with calming, low-acid foods and lots of greens.
🛒 Bonus: All our recipes use Abstract Spice Blends to enhance flavor and wellness without the bloat or processed junk.
2. Feed Your Gut Bugs—With Prebiotics & Probiotics
Your gut is home to trillions of good bacteria—and they need feeding!
Prebiotics are fibers that feed the good bacteria. Think garlic, onions, asparagus, bananas, oats, and apples.
Probiotics are the actual live cultures found in fermented foods like:
Greek yogurt
Sauerkraut
Miso and tempeh
Kimchi and kombucha
💡 Not all probiotics are for everyone. That’s why we coach blood-type compatibility with fermented foods in our wellness programs.
3. Sip Your Way to Gut Peace
Herbal teas have been part of African and Indigenous wellness long before the term "gut health" even existed. They help soothe inflammation, calm the digestive tract, and support detox.
Try our curated blends from The Wellness Sip: A Tea Table eBook, especially:
Digestive Ease Blend (This Month's Featured Custom Blend!) – for nausea and bloating
Soothing Digestion Trio – for gas, indigestion, and relaxation
Gentle Gut Soothe – for gut lining repair and hormone balance
🫖 Watch for our limited-edition Gut Health Tea Blend launching next month!
4. Manage Stress—Mindfully
Your gut responds to every stressful thought you have. Chronic stress causes cortisol spikes that shut down digestion, mess with your microbiome, and trigger inflammation.
Holistic tools to keep your gut-brain axis calm:
Deep belly breathing before meals
Yoga or stretching after dinner
Journaling, meditating, or sipping herbal tea in silence
Grounding rituals like affirmations, Epsom salt baths, and gratitude lists
✨ Try this mantra: “I digest life with ease. I am balanced. I am whole.”
5. Stay Hydrated & Move Your Body
Constipation, toxins, and digestive sluggishness often stem from not enough water and movement.
Start your morning with warm lemon water to kickstart digestion
Drink herbal teas throughout the day instead of sugary drinks
Walk after meals to stimulate peristalsis and blood flow
💡 Add a pinch of Abstract Rose Sea Salt to your water to replenish minerals and support electrolyte balance—especially important for women in menopause.
Bonus: Gut Health & Blood Type Wisdom
AC Art Of Food integrates blood-type-specific gut healing into all our meal prep plans and coaching:
We help Type A reduce inflammation and bloating with calming foods
Type O thrives with protein balance and digestive enzymes
AB needs alkaline, blood-building foods to stay balanced
B benefits from digestive diversity and hormone-supportive herbs
Gut health isn’t one-size-fits-all. We make it personalized and attainable.
Final Thoughts: Healing Begins in the Gut, But Lives in the Heart
Gut health is more than kombucha and probiotics—it’s about choosing foods, rituals, and habits that love you back.
Through intentional cooking, ancestral teas, mindful coaching, and blood-type nutrition, we help you tap into the natural rhythm of your body so you can feel lighter, brighter, and better every day.
Your gut is sacred. Let’s treat it that way.
