About this listen
Brittany and Tom review constipation from a Functional Medicine perspective.
They discuss their experiences as healthcare providers treating poop issues- Brittany from a Women's health perspective as well as Tom's experience as a Pediatric Gastroenterologist treating LOTS of cases of constipation.
What defines constipation and how big of a problem is it?
How often should we be pooping and what does it mean when things aren't "coming out right"?
This episode covers the basics of what we need to have good daily BM, known as "The 5 Things for a Good Number Two."
We discuss the impact of fiber, the gut microbiome, hydration, movement and good bathroom habits on your gut health and poop routine.
We also mention some of our favorite supplements to keep things moving and why you might not want to be relying on one of the most popular laxatives long term.
