Why “Getting Regular”?
30% of the US population suffers from persistent constipation and bloating, spending over $30 billion dollars a year looking for solutions, from health coaches, to supplements, to naturopathic doctors to incredibly restrictive diets and even prescription medications. Yet still no relief!
What’s going on? First, and most importantly, constipation and bloating have multiple root causes, so if you don’t identify WHY you’re having symptoms, you aren’t going to find a solution that works. Second, many of the remedies marketed for bowel irregularity and bloating are designed for other GI problems, like heartburn or gas, so they’re unlikely to be effective. Third, your medicine cabinet can actually be the problem, rather than the solution, particularly if you’re taking multiple medications or supplements that may be interacting to cause a slow-down on your digestive superhighway. Learning which drugs and combinations decrease gut motility is essential to getting things moving again. Finally, successful management of bloating and constipation often requires more than just a pill, so embracing a multi-pronged holistic approach is key to getting symptoms under control. There are lots of safe and effective remedies for irregularity that Dr Chutkan will be telling you about in this course, but they all work better when you’re paying attention to your diet and habits. Small tweaks in these areas can lead to big results in the bathroom!
The most important thing you can do to solve your constipation and bloating and get regular (for good!) is to identify the root cause(s) of your symptoms and implement solutions that are specific to your situation. What works for someone who’s suffering from an underactive thyroid isn’t going to be effective for someone with an extra-long colon, or diverticulosis, or who’s woefully underhydrated.
With almost 30 years of experience relieving chronic constipation and bloating using integrative methods, Dr Chutkan has the expertise to help you understand what your gut is trying to tell you – and the tools you need to restore regularity and get rid of your bloat for good.
