Shownotes

Are you currently struggling with constipation, yet nothing you've done to heal it has worked?

Have you been told that if you just ate more fiber, drank more water, or took the right supplement that you’d finally find constipation relief - but nothing is actually changing?

Or maybe you’re doing all the “right” gut health things (chewing your food, cutting out gluten or dairy, eating organic) and yet you’re still constipated, bloated, and wondering what you’re missing?

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

Today, we’re talking about a slow and silent epidemic that is costing our nation, and individuals, hundreds of thousands of dollars and hours in the workplace, family, and our communities: the constipation epidemic in America.

Even though rates of constipation have been rising for decades, and even though more people than ever actively pursuing healthier gut health practices, we’re not seeing improvement.

According to research done in 2023 by Ipsos, 20% of Americans feel they are at a dead end in their healing.

In this episode, I'm diving into the American constipation epidemic. I'll be going through:

  • research revealing just how bad the constipation epidemic is
  • what this same research is suggesting is the cause of constipation
  • what I see is being missed by research in understanding the true causes of constipation
  • why so many approaches to natural constipation relief keep falling short

If what we’re being told to do to relieve constipation actually worked, wouldn’t we be seeing different results by now?

If you’re tired of guessing, tired of quick fixes that don’t stick, and ready to understand what’s really going on in your body - you don't want to miss this episode.
