5 Reasons to fix your constipation

It might sound gruesome but working with clients with constipation is one of the most rewarding things I do. It’s a horrible condition which has a very negative impact on your quality of life in all sorts of ways. You might feel sluggish and toxic with headaches and bad skin.  Perhaps you worry about travel and social events as you can never be sure that your guts won’t “let you down”.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people put up with all this year in year out, relying on laxatives and planning their activities around their digestion.

So here are 5 compelling reasons to get help right now.

1. It’s easy!

Yes that’s right.  Of all the digestive issues that people come to me for help with, constipation responds most easily to a nutritional approach.

It’s never beaten me yet, and I can’t say that about many health problems. 

I work by looking at all your symptoms and health issues to try and get to the root cause of your constipation.  This varies from person to person so there is no “one size fits all” approach.  

I will outline whatever I think the key points are for you in your nutrition programme and give practical ideas to get you started.  It’s all negotiable so I won’t be asking you to eat foods you hate or make enormous changes.

2. It’s quick

Even chronic constipation seems to respond rapidly to the right nutrition.  Usually clients are reporting big improvements within a month.

3. It’s important

Constipation is a forerunner to some serious digestive issues like colon cancer.  Getting the gut moving reduces your risk.  From a holistic point of view it’s also linked to poor hormone balance, and liver overload. It can lead to some unpleasant complications like piles, prolapse and bowel incontinence. 

4. You’ll look and feel better

The side effects of constipation vary from person to person but can include feeling sluggish and bloated, headaches, low energy, poor skin, cramping and nausea.  These usually improve as things get moving in the gut

5. The knock on effects are all positive

The diet and lifestyle changes that I recommend to help your constipation are all things that can help in other areas of health.
