141: The connection between constipation & disease + how to resolve constipation

Here’s the truth — if you’re not having a healthy bowel movement every single day, your body is holding onto more than just waste. You’re also holding onto excess estrogen and toxins, which can fuel symptoms like:

• bloating and discomfort
• stubborn weight gain
• mood swings and anxiety
• hormone imbalances
• and even higher risk for disease over time

In this week’s episode, I explain why constipation is so much more than an inconvenience — and how resolving it can transform your energy, hormones, and long-term health.

We’ll cover:

• Why constipation is not something we should ignore (and what it signals about your health)
• The connection between constipation, estrogen dominance, and disease risk
• Practical, natural strategies to get your gut moving again — without relying on laxatives
• How supporting digestion also helps balance hormones, energy, mood, and metabolism

If you’ve been struggling silently or just thought “that’s how my body works,” please don’t ignore this. Your gut is sending you a message — and it’s one you want to pay attention to.
