Here's something that trips up a lot of women.
You're doing so many things and you're still not having healthy, predictable, perfect bowel movements every day and it's so easy to assume that you just need to try harder.
Add one more thing.
But what if the things you're already doing are actually part of the problem? So today's episode is about the constipation do's and don'ts, but I'm going to move through the do's pretty quickly because I go deep on a lot of them in other episodes.
What I really want you to hear today are the don'ts.
So the things... quietly keeping you backed up that nobody tells you about.
I've also got a past client that I want to tell you about, a nurse practitioner who walked in on half a dozen laxatives, but we'll come back to her after we go through the do's and then the don'ts.
And in case we haven't met yet, my name's Heather.
I'm a functional nutritional therapy practitioner.
I specialize in gut health and I've worked with lots of women and men who struggle to have healthy bowel movements every day despite trying everything, every... tea, every fiber powder, every supplement, and they're still watching the clock wondering when they're going to go.
It's genuinely one of the most common things that we help people with.
So let's get into it.
