EP 31: Chronic Constipation Is on the Rise & How it Impacts Us

What if constipation isn’t just physical — but emotional, nervous-system deep?In this episode, we sit down with Melissa Hall Klepacki for an honest, grounding conversation about gut health, chronic constipation, and the deeper root causes most approaches overlook. We move beyond the usual fiber-and-water advice and explore how stress, the nervous system, emotional holding, and lived experience can all play a role in the body’s ability to release.Melissa shares insights from her work and her book, The Constipation Code, which uncovers the eight hidden factors that quietly block digestion — and offers a compassionate, root-cause framework for lasting relief. This conversation reframes gut health as a whole-body, whole-person experience, inviting curiosity instead of shame and understanding instead of force.✨ Learn more about Melissa’s work and resources:👉 https://www.melissahallklepacki.com/📘 The Constipation Code is available now on Amazon for anyone ready to understand their body more deeply and crack their own personal constipation code.
