Lucas Wilhelm Hedenbäck argues bloating, reflux, and food sensitivities stem from an overactive nervous system, not a broken gut. Stress and distracted eating suppress stomach acid, bile, and other digestive processes. His fix: eat slowly in calm, screen-free settings with breathwork to let your digestion work properly.
You probably don't have a digestion problem. You have a nervous system problem showing up as digestion symptoms. Whether you're dealing with bloating, reflux, getting gassy after eating, or some food sensitivities, all of these things are systematic issues. And it's coming from the food that you're eating that hasn't been properly absorbed and broken down in your gut. So it's passing through further down your digestive system and causes fermentation and this and that. And this is due to your stomach acid not being upregulated, your DAO enzyme production, butyrate, bile is not where it needs to be to handle the food in the first place. And all these internal processes are in first gear when they need to be in fifth. And the thing that causes this in the first place is your body being too much in a stressed state. So whether you're eating in front of your screens, whether you're eating rushed between meetings, or you're just generally speaking very active and fired up throughout the whole day, this is gonna downregulate all your internal processes that actually does so that you can handle and break down the food that you're giving. So the first step in order to fix this is getting yourself out of a stressed state, making sure that when you're eating, you're actually eating calm, chilled, taking it easy, maybe doing some breathwork before, being outside, and then, only then, all these internal processes will actually start to work properly and you will be able to eat without getting all these issues. First step in order to fix your gut.
