Have you watched constipation massage videos online promising to finally get you pooping? Have you tried fiber, magnesium, water, and probiotics — maybe all four at once — but still find yourself just as backed up as when you started? Have you done "all the things" for months or years and still can't get an answer on what will actual clear your constipation? If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you! In today's episode, I'm teaching you the truth about constipation massage and fascial release as someone who worked as a medical massage therapist for 6 years - specializing in abdominal massage. My goal is that by the end of today's episode, you will understand if constipation massage can help you, and what to do if it doesn't work. That's why today, I'm breaking down: If constipation massage can actually work as a natural constipation remedy What fascial adhesions are and how they can be part of why you're constipated Why abdominal massage for constipation fails What to do instead so you can actually reverse your constipation instead of constantly trying new things or being stuck with a 30 minute routine daily to try and get yourself to poop

Have you ever been told by a doctor that, because you've been relying on laxatives for "too long," you'll never poop on your own again? Have you gone weeks trying to get off laxatives, but you're body never started pooping on it's own again, and you're right back on them just to feel normal in your body again? Have you tried fiber, magnesium, water, and probiotics, but still can't have a bowel movement without laxatives? If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you! In today's episode, I'm teaching you the truth about laxative dependency: you are NOT stuck on laxatives for forever!! After seeing dozens of clients poop again on their own after depending on laxatives for 5, 10, 20, or 30+ years, I'm revealing exactly what we did to get them pooping again - even when their doctor said it'd never happen. Today, I'll be breaking down: Why laxative addiction is not the end of your bowel movement story What's actually keeping you from pooping (hint: it's not laxative abuse or overuse) Why quitting cold turkey, or just adding more fiber and magnesium, isn't resolving your laxative dependency What it actually takes to heal your body from laxative dependency, even after years, or decades, of relying on laxatives just to go

Have you been dealing with constipation for so long it feels like you may never part ways with it? Have you tried MiraLax, fiber, magnesium, probiotics, colonics, even acupuncture and surgery, but still can't go without help? Have you sat through colonoscopy after colonoscopy, only to be told everything looks "normal," even though you know something is wrong? If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you! In today's episode, I'm sharing five stories from clients I've worked with who'd been severely constipated, most of them for decades, so that you can see it's possible to get lasting relief - even if nothing else has worked for you (yet!). Today, I'm breaking down: The specific method all of my students used to help them get relief, whether they were in their 20's or 60's; single, married, had multiple kids, or an empty nester; working, stay at home mom, or retired; male or female How quickly each student got fast constipation relief (it was way faster than they ever imagined!) Why natural constipation remedies like fiber, magnesium, and probiotics kept failing every single one of them How you can relieve severe constipation that's lasted for years - for good!

Does your constipation get better and worse throughout the month, but you can't figure out the rhyme or reason? Or do your bowel movements stop as soon as you get close to your period? Have you tried fiber, magnesium, probiotics, and "eating more veggies," but you're still backed up until your period suddenly hits? And wonder how you can get yourself pooping whether or not you're having a period? Or, were your bowel movements normal most of your life, but you've entered perimenopause or menopause, and suddenly you can't poop? If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you! In today's episode, I'm teaching you the connection between your hormones and your bowel movements so that you can get an idea on if your hormones are why your constipation gets better or worse seemingly randomly. That's why today, I'm breaking down: Signs that your hormones are driving your bowel movements What the "Goldilocks Zone" of estrogen and progesterone is, and why getting stuck outside it wrecks your bowel movements What it means if you get constipated before your period What you need to do first so your period, your poops, and your perimenopause symptoms can all get better

Have you ever searched "can constipation cause headaches" at eleven at night with a raging headache because, after years of it, you'd finally started to wonder if these two were connected? Are you exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix? And when you brought it up, your doctor checked your thyroid, your iron, and told you everything looked normal — but never once asked about your gut? Do you get full after four bites, or nauseous for no reason, or get heartburn that comes out of nowhere, or that tightness in your chest where you can't quite get a full breath, and someone told you it was anxiety? If you said yes to ANY of those questions, then this episode is for you. In today's episode, I'm walking you through eight symptoms that show up alongside chronic constipation so that you can stop treating them as eight separate problems and start getting relief from potentially all of them. Today, I'll be sharing: Can constipation cause headaches and migraines — what a study of forty-three thousand people found, and what is the most prominently considered connection Can constipation cause nausea, heartburn, or losing your appetite — including the experiment that proved that pressure in your bowel can cause symptoms elsewhere in your body Can constipation cause back pain — and the main connector between the two Can constipation make you tired, anxious, or short of breath — the fatigue, the air hunger, the chest tightness that I rarely hear people talk about connected ot the gut
