Stop Bloating: Your 7-Day Gut Reset Meal Plan for Energy & Hormone Balance

Why Your Gut Health Matters: The Root Cause of Bloating & Low Energy

You know that feeling when your jeans don’t fit, your energy crashes by 3pm, and you’re constantly uncomfortable?

It’s not your fault. Your gut is sending signals, and your body is asking for support.

Most women don’t realise that bloating, fatigue, and mood swings often stem from the same root cause: poor gut health and blood sugar imbalance. When your digestive system isn’t functioning optimally, it affects everything: your hormones, energy levels, metabolism, and how you feel in your body.

The problem? Generic meal plans don’t address these underlying issues. They’re one-size-fits-all, restrictive, and unsustainable.

That’s why I created the 7-Day Gut Reset Meal Plan.

This isn’t another fad diet. It’s a science-backed, practical guide designed specifically for women who want to: eliminate bloating naturally (without restriction), stabilise blood sugar and end energy crashes, support hormone balance through nutrition, enjoy satisfying, delicious meals (1850–2000 kcal/day), and learn practical meal prep shortcuts and nervous system support techniques

How This Meal Plan Works

The Science Behind Gut Reset & Bloating Relief

This meal plan is built on three core principles:

 

  1. Blood Sugar Stabilisation Unstable blood sugar is one of the primary causes of bloating, fatigue, and hormonal imbalance. Each meal is designed with balanced macros (~110g protein, ~70g fat, ~180g carbs) to keep your blood sugar steady throughout the day. This means no energy crashes, fewer cravings, and better hormone regulation.

  2. Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition Chronic inflammation in the gut leads to bloating, poor digestion, and hormonal disruption. This meal plan focuses on whole foods, healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, nuts), and anti-inflammatory ingredients like fatty fish, leafy greens, and berries. These foods naturally reduce inflammation and support gut healing.

  3. Nervous System Regulation Your gut and nervous system are deeply connected (the “gut-brain axis”). When you’re stressed, your digestion suffers. This plan includes techniques like mindful eating, proper hydration, and breathing exercises to calm your nervous system, which directly improves digestion and reduces bloating.

What My Clients Are Saying

ElenaChief Stewardess
Before working with Josie, I was constantly exhausted and my periods were completely unpredictable. Sometimes they'd disappear for months, other times they'd arrive with crippling pain right in the middle of a charter. I was living on coffee and whatever I could grab from the crew mess, just trying to survive each day. What made Josie different was that she actually understood yacht life. She didn't tell me to meal prep on Sundays or stick to regular sleep schedules. She got that my reality was shared cabins, 13+ hour days, and demanding guests. She worked around my charter schedule, sent me WhatsApp messages with quick tips I could actually use, and never made me feel guilty about my lifestyle. Now I have steady energy throughout even the longest service days, my periods are predictable, and I finally feel in control of my body again. Josie didn't just give me protocols. She gave me the confidence to prioritise my health even in this crazy industry.

I'd tried so many different approaches to fix my hormonal chaos. Cutting out foods, expensive supplements, generic wellness programs that assumed I had unlimited time and perfect conditions. Nothing worked because none of it fit my reality as a busy working professional juggling career demands with family life. Josie was the first person who actually listened to my real challenges and created something completely tailored to my situation. She understood that I needed solutions that worked with irregular meal times, high stress, and limited prep time. What I loved most was how supportive and non-judgmental she was. She never made me feel like I was failing when life got chaotic. Her approach was so practical and science-based, but delivered with genuine warmth and understanding. She checked in regularly, adjusted things when they weren't working, and celebrated every small win with me. This wasn't just coaching. It felt like having a knowledgeable friend who truly cared about my success.

My PMS used to completely derail my life every month. Mood swings that affected my relationships, bloating that made me uncomfortable in my own skin, and energy crashes that left me feeling useless. I'd tried everything and was starting to think this was just something I had to live with. When I found Josie, I was skeptical because I'd been let down so many times before. But from our first call, I knew she was different. She didn't just give me a generic plan. She took time to understand my specific symptoms, my work environment, my stress levels, everything. What struck me most was how she combined real scientific knowledge with genuine empathy. She'd been through similar struggles herself, so she never minimised what I was experiencing. Throughout the program, she was incredibly responsive. Answering my WhatsApp messages, adjusting protocols when something wasn't working, and always encouraging me to trust the process. Six months later, my PMS symptoms have completely disappeared, my energy is stable, and I feel like myself again. Josie didn't just transform my health. She gave me back my confidence and showed me that I deserved to feel amazing in my own body.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gut Health & Bloating

Is this meal plan suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
The plan includes animal proteins (chicken, fish, eggs, turkey), but we’ve included plant protein swap options throughout (lentils, chickpeas, tempeh, hemp seeds). You can easily adapt it to a plant-based diet while maintaining the same nutritional benefits.

Will this meal plan help with hormonal bloating?
Yes! This plan is specifically designed to support hormone balance through blood sugar stabilisation, gut health optimisation, and nervous system regulation. Many women notice reduced bloating within 3–5 days, especially around their cycle.

How many calories are in this meal plan?
Each day totals 1850–2000 kcal with balanced macros: approximately 100g protein, 70g fat, and 130g carbs. This calorie range supports energy, hormone balance, and sustainable weight management.

Can I repeat the same meals throughout the week?
Absolutely! Pick your favourite days and repeat them. The plan is flexible. Many women find it easier to meal prep when they repeat 2–3 favourite meals.

No. Basic kitchen tools (knife, cutting board, pans, oven) are all you need. The recipes are straightforward and designed for busy women, no complicated techniques required.

Is this a weight loss plan?
