7 Things You Do That Destroy Your Gut Lining (And How to Fix It)

These 7 common habits destroy gut health but the fixes are simple.

If you’re dealing with bloating, inflammation, IBS, or persistent low energy, it’s often a sign that the gut lining is under stress. This protective barrier is designed to absorb nutrients while keeping irritants, toxins, and pathogens out of the bloodstream. When it becomes compromised — through chronic stress, ultra-processed foods, excess sugar, or frequent gut irritation — inflammation can rise throughout the body, digestion weakens, and energy levels drop.

Supporting the gut lining starts with reducing what damages it and increasing what helps it repair. Nutrient-dense whole foods, adequate protein, healthy fats, and specific compounds that calm inflammation all play a role in restoring gut integrity. When the gut lining is supported properly, digestion improves, immune responses settle, and energy becomes more stable. Healing the gut isn’t about restriction — it’s about giving the body the conditions it needs to rebuild and function as it was designed to.
