Your digestion runs on rhythm — and that rhythm is called gastrointestinal motility.
In this video, we break down how gut motility works, why digestion sometimes feels slow or too fast, and how problems with motility can lead to symptoms like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, and indigestion.
GI motility refers to the wave-like muscle contractions (peristalsis) that move food through the digestive tract — from the esophagus to the stomach, small intestine, and colon. When this system is working properly, digestion feels smooth and comfortable. When it’s disrupted, symptoms begin to appear.
You’ll learn:
1. What gastrointestinal motility actually is
2. How food moves through the digestive system
3. The role of smooth muscles, sphincters, and the autonomic nervous system
4. How stress and the gut-brain connection affect digestion
5. Signs your gut rhythm may be disrupted
6. Common motility disorders like GERD, gastroparesis, IBS, and pelvic floor dysfunction
7. How to support slow digestion (constipation) and fast digestion (diarrhea) naturally
Understanding gut motility helps you connect symptoms with mechanisms — and once you understand the mechanism, you can start making smarter decisions for your digestive health.
