How to fix constipation

Here’s some of my go-to tips for both long-term and short-term constipation relief!

Quick constipation support: 

• Boost magnesium citrate. Slowly increase the dose daily until having a BM.

• Drink a LARGE glass of very warm lemon water first thing in the AM then wall sit

• ILU abdominal massage: 10 strokes for each letter 

• Do 3-5 minutes of deep belly breathing (use belly breathing when on the toilet)

• Drink mineral mocktails (free guide with recipes here) and focus on boosting potassium with things like aloe vera juice, prune juice, coconut water

• Smooth move tea which includes some mucilaginous herbs that can help lubricate the GI tract (not to be used long-term)

Deeper constipation relief… 

• Eat enough food (gotta eat enough to bulk the stool)

• Adequate fiber (can be a double edged sword)

• Daily mineral mocktails

• Manage stress and address emotional trauma if needed

• Address gut imbalances especially… (stool testing is essential for figuring out what needs to be addressed)

  • SIBO

  • H. pylori

  • overgrowth of methanogen bacteria

  • Candida

• Vagus nerve stimulation to activate your migrating motor complex (motility)

• Support liver detoxification and bile function

• Optimize digestion: stomach acid, enzymes, bile

• Avoid grazing/snacking and space meals and snacks out 3-4 hours

• Address hypothyroidism

• Avoid sitting for long stretches. Get walks in daily, even if short!
