What if bloating and constipation aren’t just gut issues but warning signs from your hormones, stress response, and nervous system?

In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many women in midlife feel chronically bloated, constipated, and inflamed—and why basic advice like “just take fiber” or “cut dairy” often doesn’t work.

I’m sharing the five most common root causes of constipation and bloating in women 35+, how I help my patients assess their patterns, and what you can start doing today to begin resetting your terrain.

In this episode, we cover:

  • 03:00 The real role of your gut in hormone detox, neurotransmitters, and inflammation
  • 06:00 The five root causes of bloating and constipation in women 35+
  • 16:00 Rachel’s story: how her gut healing began with safety, breath, and regulation
  • 22:00 Terrain-based tools I recommend: bitter herbs, magnesium, castor oil packs, ginger, flax, movement, and breathwork
  • 25:00 Why nourishment, not restriction, is the foundation for gut healing
