Lesson 2 Tracking Healthy Digestion
Within this course, the food and mood tracker is used as a supportive self-awareness tool to help participants recognise the powerful link between nutrition, digestion, energy, focus, and emotional regulation.By briefly recording meals, fluids, sleep quality, digestive symptoms, and mood patterns, participants begin to see clear connections between daily food choices and how they feel in their bodies and minds. This process removes guesswork and replaces it with personalised insight, highlighting which foods promote steady energy, calm behaviour, better concentration, and comfortable digestion, and which habits may contribute to crashes, irritability, bloating, or poor sleep.The tracker also celebrates progress, builds confidence, and encourages small, achievable changes over time. Used consistently, it becomes a practical roadmap that empowers participants to make informed food choices that support gut health, brain function, and emotional balance.

Lesson 4 Understanding Histamine Reactions and Inflammation
Histamine is a natural chemical made by the body. It plays an important role in the immune system, digestion, and communication between cells.However, when histamine levels become too high or the body cannot break it down efficiently, it can trigger a wide range of symptoms that often look like food intolerances or allergies.Many people with gut issues experience histamine reactions because histamine is closely linked to gut health and inflammation.When the gut lining becomes irritated or the microbiome is imbalanced, the body may struggle to break down histamine properly. This can lead to a build-up in the body and cause uncomfortable symptoms.

Lesson 5 Understanding slider foods, emotional eating, and post-surgery eating patterns
If you’ve had gastric surgery and still find yourself picking, grazing, or reaching for easy foods, you are not alone. Many people assume surgery should “fix” eating habits on its own, but the truth is that long-term success often depends on what happens after the operation. This week is all about helping you understand your current eating patterns with curiosity, not guilt, so you can begin making changes that actually feel realistic and sustainable.

The Foods That Slip Through Too Easily

After gastric sleeve surgery, some foods feel harder to tolerate and others go down very easily. The problem is that the easiest foods are often the ones that give the least nourishment and are easiest to overeat. These are often called slider foods because they “slide” through the stomach pouch quickly and don’t create the same feeling of fullness or satisfaction.

Examples of common slider foods:

  • crisps
  • chocolate
  • biscuits
  • ice cream
  • mashed or soft processed foods
  • sweet yogurts
  • cereal bars
  • crackers
  • sugary drinks
  • creamy coffees
  • nibbling toast or bread throughout the day

Important point:

These foods are not “bad” because they are evil — they are just often too easy to rely on when you are tired, stressed, emotional, or not planning ahead.
