In this episode, we're talking about bowel habits or more specifically, constipation, yep we're going there. By constipated, I mean not having a bowel movement at least every 48 hours.

I have had so many patients over the years show up and tell me their digestion is great and then when I ask how often they have a bowel movement they say, "once a week, maybe every two weeks".

Beyond digestive discomfort, constipation can affect energy levels, cause brain fog, lower motivation, and lead to skin issues. I even had a patient when I was doing clinical rounds in medical school that would get heart palpations when she got backed up.

Many times you will hear "just increase your water and fiber and this will take care of your constipation" but usually "getting things moving", requires more than this.
