Constipation is one of the most common gut health issues people suffer from — even when they don’t know it. And it’s one of those things that feels uncomfortable, but also has a range of negative effects on our health.
Constipation is a vicious cycle; the longer you have it, the worse it gets. It prevents optimal gut health and requires unique treatment because everyone experiences constipation in different ways and for different reasons.
Here’s something that might blow your mind: you can have a bowel movement everyday and still be constipated.
Yep, you can have diarrhea and still be constipated!
There’s a shockingly high proportion of people who don’t even realize that they’re constipated. They think something else is the culprit behind their health issues.
Frankly, this $h#t isn’t talked about enough, but I want to break wind on that. A little gas humor never hurt anyone, right?
Since my New York Times bestselling book Fiber Fueled was published in 2020, I’ve received countless questions and requests to share how I treat constipation in my clinic.
Now, that doesn’t mean I want you to listen to this training and then diagnose yourself and implement a treatment plan on your own. The goal here is for you to get informed by an expert (sorry, Dr. Internet and Nurse Instagram), take what you learn and seek a professional in the healthcare system that can guide you through treatment.
You might have heard I’m a big believer in magnesium! The simple truth is that this mineral does a ton of good, but most of us are deficient in it.
The other thing I see a huge deficiency in? Information on which magnesium to choose to reach your health goals, how to get started with magnesium, and which foods you can naturally include more in your diet to help move things through your digestive system.
In this new bonus, Dr. B’s Magnesium Hotsheet, I share all that and more!
If you know me, you know I love a good Q&A. I love the bravery that comes from someone asking a question they think might be TMI; the vulnerability that a person embraces to get one step closer to relief; the empowerment people feel when their questions are taken seriously for the first time.
A good Q&A is a treasure trove of education, not just for the person whose question was answered, but for everyone else listening that learned something they didn’t expect to, or heard a solution for a problem they hadn’t realized they have.
This training is designed to be a comprehensive deep dive into diagnosing and understanding constipation, different treatment concepts, overcoming constipation and how to speak to your healthcare professional about it. There’s a 30+ page companion workbook to go along with everything I teach…
And I’ll actually answer this one right here:
Part of what makes constipation so challenging to treat is the variety of ways it can manifest. It runs the gamut from complete blockage, to irregular nuggets, to explosive diarrhea. Apologies for the colorful description, but I want to make clear that constipation takes many forms!
You may know me as @TheGutHealthMD. I’m the New York Times bestselling author of the book Fiber Fueled a full-time gastroenterologist, and an internationally recognized gut health expert.
I’ve dedicated my life to learning how to heal the gut from the inside out.
I completed a bachelor’s degree from Vanderbilt University, an MD from Georgetown University, and a master’s in clinical investigation from Northwestern University.
I was also the chief medical resident at Northwestern and the chief gastroenterology fellow at UNC, and I received the highest award given by both my residency and fellowship.
I created this training because many experience constipation, but not enough folks talk about it. When we’re educated about a condition, we make the right choices — whether that means seeking the right professional to help us navigate our difficulties or making changes within our control to feel better.
This training is not live. It’s on-demand, completely self paced, and you can watch all of the videos in your own time. You have unlimited access to rewatch the lessons at any time.
The training is about 2 hours over the course of 7 video lessons.
After you sign up, I’ll send you an email with access details for your online course portal.
There are no refunds for this virtual training series. I stand by this experience 100%.
This training is provided as education on the topic of constipation but it does not replace the need for having a local healthcare provider to support you and provide personalized medical advice. I will not be giving personalized medical advice and participation in the course does not make me your doctor in any form. My goal is to empower you with the proper education so that you can accomplish your health goals with the support of local health providers as needed.
