THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Natural Constipation Remedies, Acid Reflux, Hormones, Gut Health, Functional Medicine

Do you feel like you're stuck in fight or flight no matter what you do?

Have you sat through years of counseling, tried dozens of breathing exercises or vagus nerve stimulation techniques, but still find your body reacting like none of it ever happened?

Have you spent money and time on buying nervous system tools, apps, or programs that worked for a minute but then left you right back where you started?

If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

In today's episode, I'm interviewing Stephen and Michaelah Sargent, head trainers for Focus in Cincinnati, so that you can finally understand why your nervous system keeps overriding every tool you've tried, and what it actually takes to get your body to believe you're safe.

This summer, I went through Focus with my husband with Stephen and Michaelah as our trainers, and it was life-changing.

I have been working on my mental health since I was in 6th grade when I got put into counseling, and I pretty much haven't stopped since. And Focus is in my top 3 most life-changing personal wellness experiences I've ever done.

That's why today, I invited Stephen and Michaelah to be break down:

• Why so many of you are still stuck in fight or flight even after doing "all the right things", and what nervous system dysregulation actually requires to resolve it, not just manage it
• What Focus is, how long it's been going on, and how they got started with it
• What a corrective emotional experience is and why Focus's use of this is often so much more powerful and transformational than talk therapy you could do on your own
• How real nervous system regulation happens, and how Focus taps into that even when nothing else has worked

If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through stress, feel like stress may be driving your health issues but haven't been able to escape it, or you're feeling stuck anywhere in your life and don't want to keep going it alone anymore, then this episode is for you!

Have you watched constipation massage videos online promising to finally get you pooping?

Have you tried fiber, magnesium, water, and probiotics — maybe all four at once — but still find yourself just as backed up as when you started?

Have you done "all the things" for months or years and still can't get an answer on what will actual clear your constipation?

If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

In today's episode, I'm teaching you the truth about constipation massage and fascial release as someone who worked as a medical massage therapist for 6 years - specializing in abdominal massage. My goal is that by the end of today's episode, you will understand if constipation massage can help you, and what to do if it doesn't work.

That's why today, I'm breaking down:

• If constipation massage can actually work as a natural constipation remedy
• What fascial adhesions are and how they can be part of why you're constipated
• Why abdominal massage for constipation fails
• What to do instead so you can actually reverse your constipation instead of constantly trying new things or being stuck with a 30 minute routine daily to try and get yourself to poop

If you're tired of trying to find constipation relief and only getting partial (or no!) relief, then this episode is for you!

🚨 Constipated? Join us for $97 on Oct 21 🚨

If you've tried everything for your constipation and nothing has worked, this is for you. The Clear Your Constipation Challenge opens October 21: 7 weeks of live calls where I personally walk you through the Push-Release Method I've used for 8 years to help hundreds of men and women globally finally go on their own.

Have you ever been told by a doctor that, because you've been relying on laxatives for "too long," you'll never poop on your own again?

Have you gone weeks trying to get off laxatives, but you're body never started pooping on it's own again, and you're right back on them just to feel normal in your body again?

Have you tried fiber, magnesium, water, and probiotics, but still can't have a bowel movement without laxatives?

If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

In today's episode, I'm teaching you the truth about laxative dependency: you are NOT stuck on laxatives for forever!! After seeing dozens of clients poop again on their own after depending on laxatives for 5, 10, 20, or 30+ years, I'm revealing exactly what we did to get them pooping again - even when their doctor said it'd never happen.

Today, I'll be breaking down:

• Why laxative addiction is not the end of your bowel movement story
• What's actually keeping you from pooping (hint: it's not laxative abuse or overuse)
• Why quitting cold turkey, or just adding more fiber and magnesium, isn't resolving your laxative dependency
• What it actually takes to heal your body from laxative dependency, even after years, or decades, of relying on laxatives just to go

If you're exhausted from feeling controlled by laxatives and the need to poop, or you're worried about what years of dependency might have done to your gut, then this episode is for you!

Have you been dealing with constipation for so long it feels like you may never part ways with it?

Have you tried MiraLax, fiber, magnesium, probiotics, colonics, even acupuncture and surgery, but still can't go without help?

Have you sat through colonoscopy after colonoscopy, only to be told everything looks "normal," even though you know something is wrong?

If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

In today's episode, I'm sharing five stories from clients I've worked with who'd been severely constipated, most of them for decades, so that you can see it's possible to get lasting relief - even if nothing else has worked for you (yet!).

Today, I'm breaking down:

• The specific method all of my students used to help them get relief, whether they were in their 20's or 60's; single, married, had multiple kids, or an empty nester; working, stay at home mom, or retired; male or female
• How quickly each student got fast constipation relief (it was way faster than they ever imagined!)
• Why natural constipation remedies like fiber, magnesium, and probiotics kept failing every single one of them
• How you can relieve severe constipation that's lasted for years - for good!

If you're tired of trying every natural constipation remedy out there and still getting little to no relief, then this episode is for you!

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 movements
• What the "Goldilocks Zone" of estrogen and progesterone is, and why getting stuck outside it wrecks your bowel movements
• What it means if you get constipated before your period
• What 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!

Have you ever searched "can constipation cause headaches" at eleven at night with a raging headache because, after years of it, you'd finally started to wonder if these two were connected?

Are you exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix? And when you brought it up, your doctor checked your thyroid, your iron, and told you everything looked normal — but never once asked about your gut?

Do you get full after four bites, or nauseous for no reason, or get heartburn that comes out of nowhere, or that tightness in your chest where you can't quite get a full breath, and someone told you it was anxiety?

If you said yes to ANY of those questions, then this episode is for you.

In today's episode, I'm walking you through eight symptoms that show up alongside chronic constipation so that you can stop treating them as eight separate problems and start getting relief from potentially all of them.

Today, I'll be sharing:

• Can constipation cause headaches and migraines — what a study of forty-three thousand people found, and what is the most prominently considered connection
• Can constipation cause nausea, heartburn, or losing your appetite — including the experiment that proved that pressure in your bowel can cause symptoms elsewhere in your body
• Can constipation cause back pain — and the main connector between the two
• Can constipation make you tired, anxious, or short of breath — the fatigue, the air hunger, the chest tightness that I rarely hear people talk about connected ot the gut

If you're tired of being told everything looks fine while you feel terrible, and you want to get rid of as many symptoms as possible as fast as possible, then this episode is for you.

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 Americans
• The 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 detox
• What 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!

Have you been told your whole life to eat more fiber and drink more water - and you've been doing exactly that for years, and you still are constipated?

Do you have a whole cabinet of magnesium — citrate, oxide, the powder everyone on Instagram swears by — and none of it works?

Have you been on MiraLAX so long you can't remember the last time your body did this on its own?

Or - have laxatives and enemas failed working for you completely to get constipation relief?

If you said yes to ANY of those questions, then this episode is for you.

In today's episode, I'm walking you through what the constipation research actually says about how often these things work (the real success rates!) and set you free from thinking you just need to up your dose or try another different brand.

Today I'll be breaking down:

• Does fiber actually work for constipation - the real effectiveness number across sixteen randomized trials
• Does magnesium work for constipation - it was WAY less effective than I guessed it'd be
• Does drinking more water help constipation - what one meta-analysis revealed in a 141 person study
• How well MiraLAX holds up to research — including the number from Bayer's own funded research

If you are tired of being handed the same four pieces of advice and you do not want to spend one more year trying the same things over and over again that aren't changing anything — then this episode is for you.

Have you found mold in your home, called your insurance company, and been told — flat out — that mold isn't covered?

Are you sitting on a remediation quote with five figures on it, wondering how on earth you're supposed to pay for this andkeep healing?

Did you already file a claim, already get denied, and assume that was the end of the road?

If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

In today's episode, I'm teaching you things I wish I knew when I started my journey of repairing my home from mold and water damage — including the single word that decides whether your insurance company writes you a check or closes your file.

Today, I'll be breaking down:

• The difference between water damage and mold in the eyes of a home insurance company — and why leading with "mold exposure" is the fastest way to get your claim shrunk down to almost nothing
• The "event" test — the one question to ask yourself before reaching out to your home insurance company
• Who to hire to inspect the cause of your water damage — and why this is crucial to getting your homeowners insurance on your side
• The 2-Step Process that your insurance may cover if you do all this correctly
• How you may be able to still get an insurance payout on claim that has already been completed and get money back that you already spent

If you're tired of being told mold is your problem to pay for, and you don't want to drain your savings fixing a house, then this episode is for you!

Have you just gotten confirmation of toxic mold exposure — a positive ERMI (Environmental Relative Moldiness Index), a positive mycotoxin test, or visible mold under your floors — and now you're staring at those results with no idea what to actually do first?

Have you already spent thousands of dollars on protocols, food sensitivity tests, and supplements that didn't work, and you're starting to wonder if mold exposure is the reason nothing has stuck?

Do you suspect toxic mold is driving your bloating, constipation, brain fog, or fatigue — but the thought of leaving or remediating your home feels financially impossible, so you've been stuck in limbo?

If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

In today's episode, I'm walking you through exactly what to do after mold exposure, in the right order, so that you can stop pouring money into protocols that physically cannot work while you're still being exposed — and finally start healing.

Today, I'll be breaking down:

• How to confirm you have mold exposure
• Practical options for first steps to take with mold (discussing considerations whether you rent, own, and how bad the mold is)
• Why an ERMI score of 20+ is the line between people who can start healing from mold at home and people who will not get results until they get out

If you're tired of throwing money at supplement after supplement, and you don't want to spend another year guessing whether toxic mold exposure is what's standing between you and healing, then this episode is for you!

Have you ever done an ERMI home mold test, gotten your results back, and wondered: "What the heck does this all mean?"

Or, have you done an ERMI before and had someone else analyze it, but you don't quite trust their analysis, and you want to be able to understand it yourself?

If you said yes to ANY of these questions, then this episode is for you!

In today's episode, I'm teaching you how to interpret my favorite home mold test to start with - an ERMI test by Envirobiomics. And I'm going to teach you how to interpret it in 5 minutes or less so that you know what your next steps should be based on your specific results.

Today, I'll be breaking down:

• Why I think the ERMI test is the best home mold kit to buy
• What each major section of the ERMI means (ERMI vs. HERTSMI results)
• How to interpret ERMI test results in 5 minutes or less (better than your doctor or mold inspector!)
• What your next steps should be based on your ERMI analysis

If you're ready to simplify your mold healing journey and clarify the exact next steps you need to take (without wasting money), then this episode is for you.

There is a lot of confusion online on what mold testing to do to determine if you're sick from toxic mold. The reason is because there are a lot of types of mold tests that test for different things. While every test truly searches for some sign of mold illness, every test has a weakness to it and the possibility of telling you that you aren't sick from mold - when you really are.

That's why, in today's episode, I'm duking it out between the 2 most commonly discussed mold tests for your body: the OAT test (organic acids test) and the Mycotox test (mycotoxin urine test).

In today's episode, I'll be breaking down:

• How the OAT test and mycotoxin test are different
• Which test I recommend when you're first starting your mold journey
• What each test is best at testing for, and when to use each test - whether you're ordering an organic acids test kit or a mycotoxin test through a lab
• My recommendation on where to start to save you the most money and get you the most accurate answers the fastest
• PLUS - I'll even be giving tips on how to analyze your OAT test scores and mycotoxin test results to never miss a key marker or detail that could be the difference between you HEALING from mold and - not

If you're ready to simplify your mold healing journey and clarify the exact next steps you need to take (without wasting money), then this episode is for you.

When someone is first starting their journey on considering if mold may be a driver to their unique symptoms and increasing diagnoses, one of the most common first questions I hear is: what mold test do I use - and which mold test kit actually works?

That's why, in today's episode, I’m breaking down the ONLY 2 mold tests you need to know if you’re sick from toxic mold.

In today's episode, I'll be breaking down:

• Why a mold allergy test is not enough and often misses mold illness
• My favorite at-home mold test kit for your body
• My favorite at-home mold test kit to see if your house may have a mold issue
• What steps to take if one or both of these tests comes up positive

Is mold sickness really reversible?

If you've been on a mold healing journey for any time now, you've probably seen and learned enough to realize that healing from mold is no easy feat.

You may have found yourself wondering - is it even possible to reverse mold illness?

That's why today, to kickoff our second mold series on the Better Belly Podcast, I'm sharing a client testimonial to encourage you and remind you that, yes, it IS possible to heal from toxic mold exposure!

Keegan is an 8 year old boy who, when I started working with him, was struggling with headaches, leg pain, belly pain, light sensitivity, dizziness, nausea, and spinal pain that was so bad that his father had to carry him because he couldn’t walk.

Now, after just 6 months working together, the majority of his symptoms which had been untouchable are either 60% improved or more - many of which are completely gone!

I hope that today’s episode confirms to you that yes, healing is possible.

And to support that - in additional to today's testimonial, I've also put 2 links in the shownotes to my personal healing from mold testimonial (focused on how I healed my tinnitus) and a mold success story from my friend and mold colleague Matt Kelly on how he healed his family from mold.

P.S. If you missed our 1st Mold Series, go to https://betterbellytherapies.com/mold to catch up on all the questions we’ve already answered that we’re building on with this next series. I'll be updating this free document every week with new episodes we're releasing, so be sure to save the link!

Have you ever done a detox program like fasting, a juice cleanse, or whole30 for 30 days and you felt GREAT afterwards - but as soon as you returned to normal life, your brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, constipation, bloating, skin issues, or hormone symptoms came rushing back?

Are you struggling with chronic constipation despite trying everything? Fiber, magnesium, water, going gluten free, dairy free, doing the low FODMAP diet, pelvic floor therapy, probiotics - nothing has worked?

If you said yes to either of these questions - this episode is for you.

On today's episode, I'm breaking down the last of the 5 Toxin Traps that may be keeping you constipation - Poor Detoxification.

I'll be talking about:

• Why detoxing is SO important in reversing constipation
• Why bowel movements are not the solution to detoxing, but the result of proper detoxing in the body
• Signs and symptoms that your internal detoxification systems are off
• 3 most common mistakes keeping you stuck in toxins (despite trying lots of detox regimens)
• What to do instead to restore your natural ability to detox - all the way into your cells - so you can start pooping again!

Detoxing isn't just a fancy health trend that you try once and never do again. It is a normal, healthy activity your cells should be doing - every second of every day! And when it does - it's another layer of helping you overcome constipation and poop daily. Let's dive in.

Have you done multiple food sensitivities tests, but the results keep changing, and you feel like healing your gut is a moving target, with no real lasting results no matter how hard you've tried?

Have you changed your diet a million times? You've gone gluten free, dairy free, paleo, done the low FODMAP diet, low acid diet, elemental diet, and many others - but you still have symptoms like constipation, bloating, acid reflux, eczema, or hormone imbalance?

Or have you not done any food sensitivity testing, worried about what they might find or tell you, and how you'd cope with it?

If you said yes to either of these questions - this episode is for you.

On today's episode, I'm breaking down the fourth layer of the 5 Toxin Traps keeping you constipation - Food Sensitivities.

I'll be talking about:

• Signs and symptoms that you have hidden food sensitivities
• 2 most common mistakes keeping you from healing and reversing your food sensitivities
• What to do instead to heal your gut

Food sensitivities are an increasing issue for those with gut health symptoms - but a limited diet doesn't have to be permanent! Let's dive into how you can finally do food sensitivities right - and reverse your constipation (and food sensitivities!) for good.

Are you suspicious that you have heavy metal toxicity, but you don't know if it's something you should actually do something about, or if it's really that key to driving your constipation?

Or - have you done a heavy metal detox, but you didn't feel better after doing it? Or you even felt even worse?

Or - have you been trying to help your constipation through a million types of magnesium, but no one has ever mentioned to you that there are other mineral deficiencies that can drive chronic constipation.

• What to do instead to finally detox heavy metals and recharge your cells with the right minerals

Have you done multiple protocols, cleanses, or rounds of antibiotics to get rid of infections like H. Pylori, candida, SIBO, parasites, C. Diff. or Lyme - yet you still have all your symptoms?

Are you looking at doing another round of testing or protocols to try and get rid of the same pathogens you've worked on in the past?

Are you suspicious you have certain pathogens - parasites, Lyme, mold toxicity, H. Pylori - but not testing has shown that you have them, or you can't find a doctor willing to listen to you to do the testing?

If you said yes to any of these questions - this episode is for you.

On today's episode, I'm breaking down the second layer of the 5 Toxin Traps that are keeping you constipation - Hidden Pathogens.

I'll be talking about:

• Signs and symptoms that you have hidden pathogens in your body
• 3 most common mistakes keeping you stuck with pathogens (even when you've tried to kill them)
• What to do instead to finally get rid of the pathogens inside you

Hidden infections is a VERY common driver behind chronic constipation. I had it, and hundreds of my clients have had multiple infections at the same time. But you don't have to be stuck with them! Let's dive into how you can finally be free from candida, H. Pylori, parasites, mold, and more.
