Beat Bloating: How to Help Digestion When You Overeat

January 7, 2022

We’ve all been there. Despite our best intentions, we accidentally overindulge forcing our body into overdrive trying to digest a large quantity of food, causing bloating and discomfort in our stomaches. Whether its a season of indulgence, a celebration, or you are simply paying attention to your gut health, here are some tips to help improve digestion.

Reduce bloating with apple cider vinegar, green apples, lemons, kiwi arranged on plates with ginger tea.
Foods which help support digestions.

Ditch the Guilt

Let’s face it – overeating happens. It could be the holidays or just that your meal tastes absolutely divine. You start to feel uncomfortable and then you go down the guilt rabbit hole with negative self talk (“ugh why did I eat the cookie?” “I shouldn’t have had that extra helping!”). Don’t start to create a negative dialogue with yourself. Life is a journey of falling in and out of balance. Acknowledge how much you enjoyed that extra cookie or helping of potatoes and then move on and LET IT GOOOO.

Tips to Naturally Reduce Bloating

There are several ways you can help rebound from a rich meal and help get your belly back into balance. Following are some of my tried and true steps to naturally help reduce bloating and support digestion.

Before a Big Meal

Sometimes we can anticipate that we are going to be enjoying a delicious meal – like at Thanksgiving. There are a few proactive steps you can take to prepare your body for better digestion.

  • Use Apple Cider Vinegar – Apple cider vinegar increases acidity in the stomach which allows you to digest the food you’ve eaten. It also has been shown to cancel out some of the carbs you eat by interfering with the digestion of starch, and softens the energy crash after eating sugar and carbs. If its available to you, mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in 8 ounces of water and drink on an empty stomach before a meal (or I like to mix it with 2 ounces of grapefruit juice and 4 ounces of water). Or add a tablespoon of ACV to your salad. The next morning, mix a tablespoon of vinegar with water and drink before breakfast. 
  • Eat a Fermented Food – Eating an enzyme rich fermented food at the beginning of the meal will allow the good bacteria from the fermented food to help with digestion. Eating a small amount of fermented food (1/4 cup) at the beginning of the meal can also help with nutrient absorption. Fermented foods include pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, sugar-free/unflavored organic yogurt. You can also try drinking kombucha (if you are not sensitive to caffeine) or kefir. Note, if you have a compromised immune system, are pregnant, are on a low-sodium diet, or have a digestive disorder like IBS, you may need to avoid fermented foods. Talk to your doctor before adding fermented food to your diet.

After a Rich Meal

  • Move your Body – Go for a walk after your big meal. If that’s not an option for you, help with the dishes. Going for a 10 minute walk after a big meal has been shown to lower blood sugar. Avoid sitting on the couch.
  • Brew Ginger-Lemon Tea – Ginger is a powerful spice that can aid in digestion, reduce nausea and bloating, and reduce inflammation. Peel and grate a 1 inch piece of ginger into 16 ounces of water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let steep for 5 minutes. Add half a lemon and strain into a cup. I also like to start my day with ginger and lemon tea before my coffee.
  • Try Some Fennel – Growing up, after a big meal my Italian relatives would always serve a big plate of fennel, alongside a fruit plate. I never understood why they enjoyed this bitter vegetable until I learned that fennel helps with digestions by reducing inflammation in intestines and decreases the bacteria which leads to bloating.
  • Eat Fruit – Eating antioxidant-rich, high fiber, low sugar fruits, such as kiwis, berries and green apples, can help minimize the free-radical damage. Fiber will also help move food more quickly through your digestive system.

The Next Morning

  • “Fast” for 12 hours – Give your digestive system a break. Wait at least 12 hours until your next meal (presumably breakfast). This is actually a form of time restricted eating which has been shown to help the body better burn fat. If you aren’t hungry the next morning, push your fast to 13 or 14 hours.
  • Drink Water – Reduce bloating and flush out toxins by drinking a lot of water. Aim to drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water (or more!).
  • Move Your Body Some More – The next day, be sure to move your body. Do what feels good for YOU. For some of you that’s going to be a walk, for others a HIIT class. Break a sweat but it shouldn’t feel like a punishment.

I hope you found tips to reduce bloating helpful! Save these tips for your next holiday!

RECIPE BELOW 💪 Preparing nutritious meals doesn't have to be another part-time job. Between work meetings, school pickups and kids' activities, is your lunch whatever you can grab in five minutes? A protein bar. A handful of crackers. Leftovers from your kid's plate. Or maybe you skip it altogether. And then you're wondering why you're exhausted, craving something sweet at 3 PM and starving by dinner. Here's the thing: You can't expect your body to perform at its best when you're consistently under-fueling it. Especially in midlife, when getting enough protein to support muscle and enough fiber for gut and metabolic health becomes increasingly important. But the solution isn't spending your entire Sunday prepping perfectly portioned meals. It's having a few easy, nutrient-dense options you can make once and eat on repeat. You don't need more time. You need fewer decisions. And that's exactly why I love this soup. 👇 Makes 4 servings: 1 small white onion rings(about 1 cup chopped) 1 tbsp olive oil 1 pound of chicken (or sub 12 oz rotisserie chicken and cut out the chicken cooking time) 1 jar salsa verde 4 cups low sodium chicken bone broth (I like Dr. Kelly Ann) 1 can (3.5 cups) low sodium white beans (I like white navy beans), rinsed 1.5 cups frozen brown rice 1/2 cup sliced green onion 1/2 cup cilantro more green onion, cilantro for garnish. Heat a large pot over medium high heat. Add olive oil. Add onion and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add raw chicken to the pot. Pour in salsa verde and bone broth. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. In the meantime chop green onion and cilantro. Once chicken is cooked through, shut off heat. Shred chicken in pot. Add green onion, cilantro and brown rice. Turn back on heat. Cook over medium heat. I'm a functional nutritionist and health coach helping ambitious women 40+ build strength, energy and lasting health without putting their lives on hold.

What if the answer to feeling better after 40 isn't doing more, but getting really clear on what actually matters? That's the biggest lesson I've learned from my own health journey. For years, I was putting so much effort into being healthy. But I wasn't always putting that effort into the things that would make the biggest difference. And I see so many women in midlife doing the same thing. We're spending money on supplements, experimenting with new diets, trying different workouts, and chasing the next wellness trend. Meanwhile, the things that can really move the needle aren't getting enough attention. Building muscle. Eating enough protein and fiber. Prioritizing sleep. Recovering from our workouts. Managing stress. Not glamorous. Not viral-worthy. Not particularly complicated. But incredibly important, especially in midlife. The real strategy is knowing which fundamentals need your attention most, how to make them work in your ACTUAL life, and what you can stop wasting energy on. That realization changed how I take care of myself. And it's the foundation of how I approach helping other women. Because you don't need to do ALL the things. You need to do the things that matter most, consistently enough to make a difference. That's why I created Live Powerfully: to help high-performing women over 40 cut through the wellness noise and build a personalized strategy for feeling stronger, more energized and more confident. Not more wellness information. More clarity on what actually works for YOU. Comment REBUILD and I'll send you my free Five Day Rebuild to help you start focusing on what matters most. #womenover40 #workingmom #entrepreneurmom #corporatelife #perimenopause

I said what I said. Everyone is trying to balance their hormones, or if they're in perimenopause, replacing their hormones. And well, yes our hormones are fluctuating, but they don't tell the whole story. our hormones respond to other stressors in the body. I work with clients to get at the root of these issues.

We are the boss babe generation. We built our lives on very little sleep, a lot of caffeine, and the ability to push through everything, and it worked for a very long time, but perimenopause changes the game. Shifting hormones have made our bodies less resilient - but that doesn’t mean we have to accept the narrative of “this is what life is like now”. Here's what actually works now: - Combine protein + fiber at every meal. Aim for about 25 to 30 grams to steady your energy and blood sugar through the morning. - Find a progressive strength training program you love and lift weights two to three times a week. Strength training protects muscle, bone and insulin sensitivity as estrogen declines. - Walk for 10 minutes after your biggest meal. It helps your muscles soak up glucose and blunts the afternoon crash. -Keep a consistent bedtime. A steady sleep window does more for your hormones than any supplement. - Go easy on alcohol. It disrupts sleep and can worsen hot flashes and night sweats. Small shifts, done consistently, add up fast in this season.
