44: Chronic Constipation? Common Culprits & What You Can Do About Them


Listen Later

Have you tried following your doc’s recommendations and just upped the fiber and water… OR simply taken a prescription laxative like Restoralax or Miralax and a fiber supplement per the Rx, and gone on your way? But you’re still struggling with chronic constipation and irregularity…

Today we’re chatting about the common — and often complex — reasons for constipation to consider, and what you can do to support those healthy daily poops. 


YOU’LL TAKEAWAY: 

✅ 3 types of primary constipation (slow transit, normal transit and pelvic floor dysfunction)

✅ How diet, mental health, hormones, toiletting habits, medications can cause constipation

✅ Simple at home tools to uncover the underlying drivers for your constipation

✅ Understand IBS-constipation vs. functional constipation (not the same!)
