334// Why Am I Constipated? Slow Transit Constipation Myth
Are you constipated even though you eat fiber, drink water, take magnesium, and eat cleaner than everyone you know?
Have you been handed a diagnosis like slow transit constipation, IBS-C, dyssynergic defecation, or chronic idiopathic constipation - and still don't have a treatment that actually works?
Are you bloated, gassy, maybe even pooping every day, but still never feel like you never fully empty?
If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!
In today's episode, I'm teaching you the 5 Toxin Trap — the five root causes I've been testing and treating in my clinic for the last 8 years — so that you can stop praying you'll poop every day and actually reverse it.
Today, I'll be breaking down:
Why the constipation subtypes diagnoses aren't helping anyone heal Why fiber fails at least 14% of people with constipation, which is 2.2 million AmericansThe 5 Toxin Trap keeping you stuck with constipation: low stomach acid and bile, electrolytes, pathogens like H. pylori, candida, parasites, SIBO and C. diff, food sensitivities, and poor detoxWhat actually drives gut motility, and how to return yours so you can poop daily without ANY supplements or cramming water down your throat
If you're tired of taking fiber, magnesium, probiotics, or coffee just to go, then this episode is for you!
