Descripción

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.

315// Low FODMAP Diet Not Working for IBS? Do This Instead

Is IBS still running your life - even though you’ve tried the low FODMAP diet? Are you cutting out more and more foods, following all the “rules", taking probiotics or supplements, and still dealing with bloating, indigestion, and abdominal pain? Or maybe the low FODMAP diet worked at first, but now your IBS symptoms are creeping back in and you’re wondering, why did it stop working? If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you. Today, we’re talking about one of the most recommended IBS treatments out there: the IBS low FODMAP diet. This was the diet I put myself on in 2015 when my IBS, constipation, and bloating started. It was the diet I followed perfectly for 2 years because it helped reduce my symptoms, but it never fully healed my gut, and every time I tried to reintroduce foods, all my symptoms came rushing back. Now, after working with hundreds of clients with IBS for over 8 years, I've heard this story over and over and over again. So on today's episode, I'm diving into WHY the low FODMAP diet is not working for thousands of people with IBS (likely millions) - and what to do instead to find IBS relief. In today's episode, we’ll talk about: * What the low FODMAP diet is * Who developed it * How the low FODMAP diet for IBS theoretically is supposed to work * Why, for many people, the low FODMAP diet isn't helping * What to do instead to find your real IBS causes and get the IBS treatment you need to permanently reverse your IBS Because removing foods isn’t the same thing as healing your gut. And if your low FODMAP diet isn’t working… there’s a reason. Let’s go find it.

314// I Reversed My Dairy Intolerance After 10 Years?? How I did it

Is your food sensitivity list growing, despite eating right or doing things to try to heal your gut? Are you dairy free, gluten free, grain free, or on a restrictive diet like the low FODMAP diet and dreaming about the day you'll be able to eat foods you love again? Have you been told that you'll never be able to eat a food again like dairy, gluten, wheat, or corn - but you want to know if anyone has ever successfully reversed severe sensitivities to any of these? If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you. Today, I'm sharing my very real, very personal story about how I recently discovered that I no longer have a dairy intolerance. After more than a decade of having gas, bloating, and bowel movement alteration after eating cow dairy - I suddenly don't anymore. That's why, in today's episode, I'm sharing ALL the details: * When my dairy intolerance started (and the super unusual dairy intolerance symptom I got with it) * Why I think it started * Why I never thought I'd be able to eat cow dairy again * The best dairy intolerance test I recommend for anyone wanting to test their sensitivity to dairy * How my dairy intolerance led me to my constipation, IBS, and amenorrhea diagnoses * The exact path I took that led me to this year and discovering I can eat dairy again * My top tips for how you can repeat the exact steps I took, 10x faster, and get the same results If you’re looking for a real story from a real person who found healing in the last place she expected, and want to know how you may be able to duplicate my results for yourself - keep on listening.

313// Magnesium Citrate for Constipation Relief: Why It Fails + What to Do Instead

Have you taken magnesium citrate to relieve constipation, but it hasn't worked? Have you tried higher and higher doses, or different types of magnesium like magnesium malate or magnesium oxide, to relieve constipation, but they don't work or leave you with tons of gas, bloating, and abdominal pain? Or - are you researching different types of magnesium and trying to figure out which is the best for fast constipation relief? If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you. Magnesium citrate is heralded as one of the key natural remedies to constipation - along with fiber, drinking water, and probiotics. However, magnesium citrate has left MANY people no better off in their search for regular bowel movements. And for some, it's even made the symptoms of gas, bloating, and abdominal pain even worse. That's why, in today's episode, I'm sharing what many health providers are NOT sharing: * Why magnesium citrate works for some people, but not others * What it means when magnesium citrate is not working * What to do instead to find constipation relief If you’re tired of constipation remedies that don't work and want to find permanent relief for constipation, then this episode is for you.

312// The Constipation Epidemic in America: What We’re Getting Wrong and How to Find Real Constipation Relief

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?

311// Still Have Diverticulosis on a High Fiber Diet? Here's why

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.
