Ep. 118: Why Travel Makes You Constipated (and Why It Sometimes You Feel Better)

Think about the last trip you took. Were you actually there for it, or were you running a quiet background math equation the whole time, tracking what you ate and wondering if you'd be too bloated for dinner?For a lot of people with gut issues, travel is something to survive rather than enjoy. But here's what's interesting: some of the women Dr. Heather works with who struggle the most at home actually feel better on vacation. They eat foods they normally avoid, skip their usual protocol, and come back more regular and less bloated than they've felt in months.In this episode, Heather breaks down the actual physiology behind both experiences, why travel throws your gut off and why it sometimes fixes it, and gives you a practical plan for your next trip so you can be present instead of managing symptoms the whole time.Resources MentionedDownload Dr. Heather's free mineral guide for travel-friendly electrolyte supportTravel" resources on the blog for more tips and resourcesWant to make sure you are on the list for the Christmas in July HTMA Bundle sale? Click Here Connect + Next StepsWant daily education, stories, and gut-friendly support?Follow Dr. Heather on InstagramReady for personalized 1:1 support and a clear plan?Apply for gutTogether®Want a chance to win a free HTMA Bundle?
