Chronic digestive symptoms rarely exist in isolation. Bloating, reflux, constipation, gas, and irregular elimination are often signs of deeper disruption in digestion, metabolism, and nervous system regulation. This comprehensive class explores digestion as a single, integrated process—revealing why symptom-focused approaches so often fail and what it truly takes to restore digestive resilience over time.
Drawing from holistic physiology, traditional medical frameworks, and modern nutritional understanding, this course helps students recognize common digestive patterns, understand why digestion becomes sluggish or inflamed, and identify the long-term lifestyle and metabolic factors that undermine gut function. Ideal for individuals seeking lasting digestive improvement, as well as students and practitioners wanting a deeper framework for understanding chronic digestive imbalance.

Digestive issues that persist for years are rarely caused by a single food, pathogen, or supplement deficiency. In this in-depth class, digestion is reframed as a coordinated system governed by nervous system tone, metabolic heat, secretion, motility, nutrient sufficiency, and daily rhythm. When these foundational elements weaken, symptoms emerge—not randomly, but predictably.
Students explore why low stomach acid is far more common than excess acid, how digestion becomes either “cold and sluggish” or “hot and inflamed,” and why modern habits quietly erode digestive capacity over time. The course examines how stress, irregular schedules, inadequate nourishment, and long-standing constitutional tendencies interfere with digestion from the stomach through elimination. Rather than offering quick fixes, the focus is on rebuilding digestive function gradually and sustainably through food, routine, and supportive natural strategies.
What you’ll learn:
How digestion functions as one continuous system from intake through elimination
The difference between cold, sluggish digestion and hot, inflammatory digestion
Why low stomach acid, weak motility, and nutrient depletion drive chronic symptoms
The influence of stress, sleep, circadian rhythm, and nervous system tone on digestion
Foundational dietary and lifestyle strategies that support long-term digestive repair
This class is ideal for:
Individuals with chronic bloating, constipation, reflux, gas, or digestive discomfort
People cycling through short-term remedies without lasting improvement
Students of herbalism, Ayurveda, nutrition, or holistic health
Practitioners seeking a clearer framework for assessing digestive imbalance
Anyone wanting to understand digestion at the root level rather than manage symptoms
