Digestive Rhythms Matter
Digestion follows rhythms—just like sleep and energy.
The digestive system is influenced by circadian biology, meal timing, and nervous system activity. When eating patterns are irregular or constantly changing, digestive comfort and efficiency can be affected.
Research shows that:
• The gut has its own internal timing systems
• Digestive processes vary across the day
• Regular meal timing can support digestive function
This doesn’t mean rigid schedules are required. It means the digestive system benefits from predictability and consistency.
Beginner functional approach:
• Eat meals at roughly similar times most days
• Allow adequate time between meals
• Eat in a calmer state when possible
Supporting digestive rhythms is about working with physiology, not controlling it.
