Chronic constipation affects far more than the gut. Dr. Paula Kruppstadt explains how toxin buildup, mitochondrial issues, and hidden stool burdens impact whole-body health.
----
In this episode, I explain what really happens when constipation goes untreated and why it affects far more than the gut. We cover the ripple effects of stool buildup—headaches, reflux, malabsorption, toxin recirculation, inflammation, and even focus and behavior issues. I also share how genetics like GSTP1 and mitochondrial SNPs contribute to chronic constipation, and how vitamin C, magnesium, and targeted support can help restore normal motility and comfort.
