Ep 68: The 9 Hidden Causes of Chronic Constipation (& why more fiber hasn't worked)


Listen Later

Constipated regardless of how healthy you eat? Staying hydrated, eating fiber, but still struggling to have regular bowel movements? You don't have a laxative deficiency. It's time to dig deeper. Constipation is NOT just a fiber issue. In this training-style episode, I'm walking you through the true root causes of chronic constipation - the ones that most conventional approaches completely miss. We're diving into digestion, gut microbiome imbalances, nervous system regulation, thyroid health, and more so you can finally understand why your body isn't moving the way it should.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE:
  • What a healthy bowel movement actually looks like
  • Why fiber, laxatives, and hydration often don't fix the issue
  • The connection between constipation, hormones, acne, and toxin buildup
  • Why you may feel worse adding more fiber
  • The role of digestion, gut bacteria, and motility in regularity
  • Why traveling can trigger constipation (and how to fix it)
  • How multiple root causes often overlap (it's rarely just one thing)
