How to know if your digestive health is unbalanced

Written by Marta Franco
Cómo saber si tu salud digestiva está desequilibrada

Your digestive health influences far more than you might imagine: your energy, mood, hormones, and even your skin. Yet, we tend to pay attention to it only when discomfort arises: bloating, gas, or slow digestion. But the gut doesn't just digest food—it also regulates immunity, metabolism, and the mind-body connection. If you've been feeling more tired, bloated, or disconnected from your body lately, your gut microbiota may be out of balance. In this article, we'll tell you how to recognize it and how to restore harmony with natural remedies.

1. Why taking care of your digestion is much more than avoiding discomfort

The digestive system is connected to almost everything: your nervous system, your hormones, and your metabolism. When something isn't working properly in the gut, the effects spread to other systems in the body.

Fact: Around 70% of immune cells are located in the gut, and 90% of serotonin—the feel-good hormone—is produced there. That's why an unbalanced digestive system can manifest as fatigue, irritability, or difficulty concentrating, in addition to the classic physical symptoms.

2. Signs your digestion needs attention

Most gut imbalances start silently. Here are some common signs that your digestive health might need a reset:

  • Frequent bloating, even after light meals.
  • Feeling of heaviness or gas for no apparent reason.
  • Low energy or drowsiness after eating.
  • Cravings for sweets or carbohydrates between meals.
  • Constipation or irregular transit.
  • Abdominal inflammation or discomfort.
  • Dull skin or skin breakouts.
  • Mood swings or difficulty concentrating.
If you recognize several of these signs, it's no coincidence: your gut might be asking for balance.

3. What happens when your microbiota becomes unbalanced

The gut microbiota is the collection of bacteria that live in your intestines and work in harmony with your body. When it's balanced, it improves digestion, strengthens the immune system, and regulates inflammation. But when it's disrupted—by stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, or antibiotics—the symptoms we mentioned earlier appear.

Among the most common effects are:

  • Slow digestion and gas due to lower enzyme production.
  • Hormonal imbalances and cravings, by altering the satiety signal and insulin sensitivity.
  • Low energy levels and mood swings, due to decreased serotonin production.
  • More inflammation, which can be reflected in the skin or the immune system.

4. How you can support your digestion naturally

The good news is that your digestive system has an enormous capacity for recovery. With some lifestyle adjustments and the right support, you can feel light, energetic, and well again.

Start with your daily habits

  • Eat slowly, without distractions, and chew well.
  • Add a variety of vegetables: fruits, vegetables, legumes and fermented foods.
  • Drink plenty of water and take a walk after eating.
  • Prioritize rest and stress management: your gut needs calm too.

5. The Digestive Kit: the perfect support for your intestinal well-being

When your body needs an extra boost, the Digestive Kit combines two formulas that work together to restore digestive and metabolic balance.



DeBloat: relieves bloating and promotes easy digestion thanks to active probiotics (Synbio®) and digestive enzymes (DigeZyme®), along with natural extracts of turmeric, chamomile, mint and fennel.

GlucoGuard: stabilizes glucose, reduces cravings and improves daily energy with Reducose® (white mulberry) and Lactobacillus plantarum IMC 510®.

Together, this kit addresses two key pillars of digestive wellness: healthy digestion and glycemic balance, helping to reduce bloating, maintain steady energy, and promote a harmonious metabolism.

  • Relief from bloating and improved digestion.
  • Reduced cravings and stable energy throughout the day.
  • Better utilization of nutrients.
  • Intestinal and hormonal well-being from within.

6. Regaining your well-being starts with listening to yourself

Your body sends you signals all the time. Bloating, fatigue, or cravings aren't random: they're your digestive system's way of asking for attention. When you give it the support it needs—from food, rest, and calm, to formulas that support it from within—everything returns to balance: your digestion, your hormones, and your energy.
