Eating healthy, but still feeling low on energy?

It might not be what you're eating, but how your body is absorbing it. Even the best diet won’t help if your gut isn’t absorbing vitamins and minerals efficiently. Common factors that can block nutrient absorption include frequent acidity or bloating, which can irritate the digestive tract. Gut inflammation, such as seen in conditions like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), can also interfere with how well your body takes in nutrients. Long-term use of certain medications, especially antacids, may reduce stomach acid levels that are essential for digestion. Additionally, low stomach acid itself can hinder the proper breakdown and absorption of vitamins and minerals. Stress is another important factor, as it can negatively impact digestion and nutrient uptake. If you’re low on energy, immunity, or always vitamin-deficient despite a good diet, don’t ignore it. Get your nutrient levels and gut health evaluated. Eating right is step one. Absorbing right is step two.
