Poor digestion occurs when the body struggles to break down and absorb nutrients efficiently, leading to symptoms such as bloating, gas, heartburn, abdominal discomfort, constipation, or diarrhoea. Causes include low stomach acid, insufficient digestive enzymes, food intolerances, imbalances in gut bacteria, or rapid, stressed eating habits. Over time, poor digestion can contribute to nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, skin issues, and weakened immunity. Addressing the root causes through dietary changes, mindful eating, stress reduction, and targeted functional medicine approaches can restore digestive efficiency, support nutrient absorption, and promote overall health and vitality.
