Shownotes

Have you been following a high fiber diet, but you recently got a colonoscopy - and you still have diverticulosis?

Or - have you been told that the reason you have diverticulosis is because your constipated, but no matter how much fiber, magnesium, water, or probiotics you take, you just won't poop?

Does your diverticulosis diagnosis worry you, or do you worry you'll develop it because of constipation - but you don't know what to do to do properly protect yourself? Or simply help yourself poop?

If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you.

Today, I'm discussing a pattern I've seen in my constipated clients for the last 8 years - and it's once that impacts both the chronic constipation communities AND those with diverticulosis.

The best part? Research from the National Institute of Health backs up the EXACT observation I've been seeing in constipated clients and those with diverticulosis - and the findings are WILD.

In this episode, I'm going to break down:

  • Why a high fiber diet doesn’t automatically fix diverticulosis or constipation
  • What constipation is really telling you about your gut
  • What I recommend you can do to protect your gut if have diverticulosis
  • Why natural constipation remedies might not be working for you - and what you can do to permanently find constipation relief

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of trying harder with no results, your body isn't broken. You CAN poop again - and live worry-free from your gut.

If you’re ready to stop guessing, stop piling on more fiber, keep listening. It's time to heal your gut.
