If you have trouble pooping, then you need a garden. Yep, we're actually going there 💩 today on the podcast because so many of us have trouble GOING. In this video, learn how the garden can make pooping easier and healthier.

There are so many factors at play when you have gut issues: living in an overly sanitized world, eating poorly, experiencing too much stress, breaking your routines, not exercising, not sleeping, and so on.

Here are 5 ways that having a garden can help you move things along:

1. Getting your hands dirty (in the soil, that is) helps build your gut microbiome.

2. You'll have access to fresher vegetables than what you can find at the grocery store. That means your veggies have a higher water concentration and more fiber, which is critical for going #2.

3. You'll eat a wider variety of nutrients because the grocery store only stocks foods that store well.

4. You'll build your routine of checking on your garden, and your gut loves a routine.

5. Gardening is proven to lower your stress levels. Less stress means less cortisol and a less inflamed and imbalanced GI system.
