The Constipation Conversation: Get Relief By Timed Eating | Dr. Vincent Pedre


Listen Later

Have you heard of the gut circadian rhythm? We often talk about our overall circadian rhythm, and most of us automatically think about sleep—waking up in the morning and going to bed at night. But did you know your gut has its own circadian rhythm? It affects digestion and may be the key to addressing issues like constipation or weight gain.


In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Vincent Pedre, where we dive deep into how to align our metabolism with our circadian rhythm to improve sleep, support regular bowel movements, aid weight loss, and keep hunger cravings in check.


We also explore the impact of microplastics—some of their surprising sources—and discuss how stress can contribute to constipation. We touch on how childhood antibiotics may be linked to IBS today, and offer practical ways to reduce the toxic load in our diets and daily lives.

Don’t worry, this isn't an episode filled with doom and gloom! We’re here to provide actionable tips and resources to help you improve your health without breaking the bank. My goal is never to fearmonger, but to inform—because when we know better, we can do better. With the right knowledge and tools, we can all lead healthier, happier lives.


Topics Discussed:

  • You don’t have to have obvious gut symptoms to have a gut issue
  • Non-gut issues that may actually be gut-related
  • Common causes of constipation
  • Natural ways to relieve constipation
  • Why the timing of your meals matters
  • How timed eating supports constipation relief, weight loss, and IBS
  • The dangers of over-sanitization
  • Microplastics: Beyond just plastic items
  • How stress affects digestion, causing constipation and diarrhea
  • The link between childhood antibiotics and IBS today
  • Simple swaps and changes to reduce our toxic load in daily routines
