If you're one of those people who thinks pooping every few days is "normal for you," we need to talk. In this episode of The Wellness Effect, we're diving deep into why constipation isn't just a gut issue—it's a whole-body problem that could be the root cause of your acne, irregular periods, bloating, and even anxiety. From the emotional component of "letting go" to the very real fact that you could be holding 30 pounds of waste in your colon, this conversation will change how you think about your daily (yes, daily!) bowel movements forever.   In this episode, you'll hear: What actually counts as constipation - and why needing Metamucil every night means you're constipated How constipation creates estrogen dominance, leading to fertility issues, painful periods, and stubborn weight Why your poop is the bottom of your drainage funnel - and what happens when that pathway gets backed up The connection between your pelvic floor, emotional trauma, and your ability to have a good bowel movement Why your morning routine might be sabotaging your digestive system before you even start the day The real deal on fiber intake How chronic stress and mineral depletion are literally backing you up from the inside out   Key Takeaways: You should be pooping 1-3 times every single day - anything less means those toxins and excess hormones are recirculating through your body Your gut can hold up to 30 pounds of waste, creating bacterial overgrowth that shows up as bloating, mood issues, and digestive problems Constipation isn't a laxative deficiency - if you've been taking the same supplement for years to poop, you need to dig deeper into the root cause   You might want to check out: Meal Hygiene 101: How Mindful Eating Can Transform Your Digestion and Health   Drainage Pathways 101: How to Support Detox, & Eliminate Toxins Naturally   Want more from us?
