Constipation Explained: Root Causes, Red Flags & Lifestyle Tips


Listen Later

In Episode 27 of The Luke Coutinho Show, we dive deep into the often-ignored topic of constipation and why it’s more than just a digestive issue. Discover practical insights, warning signs, and sustainable lifestyle solutions to restore balance and health.

Here’s what you’ll explore in this episode:

  • Constipation is more than a digestive issue – it’s linked to headaches, gas, hemorrhoids, cancers, kidney stones, and more.

  • Daily bowel movement is essential – incomplete evacuation or straining are warning signs.

  • Lifestyle factors matter most – hydration, fiber, balanced protein, exercise, and stress management are key.

  • Warning symptoms to seek medical help – blood in stool, persistent constipation, sudden bowel changes, or unexplained weight loss.

  • Misuse of laxatives and enemas is harmful – long-term dependence damages natural gut function.

  • Sustainable solutions exist – yoga, probiotics, mindful eating, and avoiding alcohol, excess caffeine, and ultra-processed foods.
