Digestive Friction Reduction

Meaning

Digestive friction reduction is a clinical objective focused on minimizing all forms of physiological stress and inefficiency within the gastrointestinal tract, including mechanical irritation, immunological reactivity, and metabolic burden. This reduction aims to soothe mucosal inflammation, decrease the energetic cost of digestion, and alleviate symptoms such as bloating or discomfort. By lowering this ‘friction,’ the body conserves metabolic energy, improves nutrient absorption, and reduces the chronic, low-grade inflammatory signaling that can disrupt sensitive endocrine feedback loops. It is a critical step in establishing a foundation for hormonal wellness.
