336// Constipation Before Your Period & In Perimenopause

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 movementsWhat the "Goldilocks Zone" of estrogen and progesterone is, and why getting stuck outside it wrecks your bowel movementsWhat it means if you get constipated before your periodWhat you need to do first so your period, your poops, and your perimenopause symptoms can all get better

If you're tired of feeling like your body is working against you every single month, then this episode is for you!
