Are you struggling with digestive issues that just won't resolve? That ongoing constipation might be your body's desperate attempt to get your attention.
Wellness expert Melissa Hall-Klepacki joins Glennis Woods-Mullins to tackle a subject many midlife women experience but few discuss openly: constipation and gut health. This frank, enlightening conversation reveals why digestive issues become more prevalent during midlife and how addressing them properly can transform your overall wellbeing.
Melissa shares the eight root causes of constipation most doctors never mention, from the surprising impact of morning routines to the hidden dangers lurking in your water supply. Rather than relying on quick fixes, she offers a framework for understanding what's happening in your gut and practical steps to restore balance. You'll discover why "pooping once a week" is never normal and how to achieve the daily elimination your body needs.
The conversation takes an unexpected turn as Glennis reveals her own journey from corporate chaos to morning rituals, illustrating how reclaiming your mornings can become a powerful act of self-care. Her story resonates with any woman who has spent decades prioritizing everyone else, only to find herself depleted and struggling with health issues in midlife.
This episode delivers more than just digestive advice—it's a call to fill your empty cup before it's too late. As Melissa powerfully reminds us, "If you're not getting healthy now, if you've struggled, you've raised your kids, you've poured from your cup that is now empty. Now is the time to fill it, because on the other side, it's not so great."
Ready to transform your gut health and reclaim your vitality? This conversation offers the perfect starting point with actionable strategies you can implement today.
