Do you have issues with constipation?  If so, today is your lucky day! 

This podcast is all about the sticky business of stuck bowels.  In our first episode of The Return of Side Eff@¢ks, we covered the basics of bowel function and touched on possible bowel issues encountered during treatment.  

In this episode, Tina and Leah talk about constipation from a naturopathic perspective. Whether during treatment or long after treatment has been completed, constipation can hamper your health. Since the movement of your bowels is a functional issue, and these docs have had more conversations about poo than most people, there is bound to be some info in here that's new to you.

So tune in and listen as Tina and Leah review what you can do to help yourself get (or stay!) regular.
