Pregnancy can bring major changes to digestion and bowel habits. But if you're already living with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C), bloating, abdominal discomfort, or chronic constipation, it can be difficult to know what's related to pregnancy—and what may be related to your digestive condition. In this episode of the Gastro Girl Health Podcast, Dr. Lin Chang, Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a leading expert in disorders of gut-brain interaction and women's digestive health, explains what patients should know about IBS-C and constipation during pregnancy. You'll learn: • How pregnancy-related constipation differs from IBS-C • Why IBS symptoms may change during pregnancy • What may contribute to increased bloating and constipation • Diet and lifestyle strategies to discuss with your healthcare provider • What to know about the low-FODMAP diet during pregnancy • Treatment and medication considerations • Symptoms that shouldn't automatically be attributed to IBS or pregnancy If you're pregnant—or planning a pregnancy—and live with IBS-C or chronic constipation, this conversation can help you better understand your symptoms and prepare for conversations with your healthcare team. This patient education episode was produced by Gastro Girl in collaboration with the American College of Gastroenterology Patient Care Committee. #IBSC #Pregnancy #Constipation #IBS #Bloating #DigestiveHealth
This week, I outlined some simple exercises to do if you have lumbar spinal stenosis, like I do. These will also work if you have low back pain of any kind, because they support the core stabilizing muscles and take stress off the psoas and other hip flexors, and also the hamstrings. Then I want […]
Dr. Will Cole goes solo to dig into the science behind cellular confusion, why your cells forget what they're created to do, and what to do about it. In this deep dive, he breaks down the "Inflammatory Core Four" (sugar, seed oils, grains, and dairy), the concept of xenohormesis, and how fasting and food timing activate autophagy, mitophagy, and your body's own cellular repair pathways.

In this episode, Jacqueline sits down with gastroenterologist Dr. Kumkum Patel to break down the taboo surrounding gut health and discuss all things "poop". If you have dealt with lifelong constipation or IBS, and want to understand how it directly relates to perimenopause and menopause, this episode is for you. Welcome to another episode of MENO with Jacqueline Buckingham, the authority on menopause, perimenopause, and wherever you are on the pause spectrum. IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER: ➡️ The Train and Station Analogy: A breakdown of the three main structural and mechanical reasons behind constipation, comparing your digestive tract to a train traveling to its station. ➡️ The Enteric Nervous System: Exploring the trillions of nerves surrounding your bowel, the role of the vagus nerve, and how your "second brain" can put a death grip on your colon when triggered by stress or past trauma. ➡️ The Pelvic Floor Connection: How weak core muscles, inadequate propulsive force, and tight sphincter muscles can close off the "train station" and trap stool. ➡️ Potty Hacks and Mechanics: Why tools like the Squatty Potty are functionally effective, and how using a boba straw to mimic diaphragmatic breathing can help activate the vagus nerve to push poop out without straining. ➡️ Hormones and Motility: How the major loss of estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause and menopause slows down your gut motility and impacts pelvic floor compliance. ➡️ Prolapse and Rectoceles: An explanation of what a vaginal or rectal prolapse is, and how chronic straining can create an anterior rectocele pocket where stool gets trapped. ➡️ Advanced Medical Solutions: A discussion on why standard osmotic laxatives like Miralax don't fix peristalsis, and an introduction to prescription medications that target bowel receptors to wake up a sluggish colon. ➡️ Balancing Protein and Fiber: Why prioritizing a high-protein diet without chasing it with water and 30 grams of fiber will cause severe constipation, and how to easily sneak fiber back into your outline with chia seeds.

HelixTalk - Rosalind Franklin University's College of Pharmacy Podcast
In this episode, we review three medical myths, highlighted in the "Things We Do For No Reason" series of the Journal of Hospital Medicine, including anaerobic coverage for aspiration pneumonia, fluid restriction in heart failure, and docusate for constipation. Key Concepts In aspiration pneumonia, addition of anaerobic coverage is not necessary unless a patient has necrotizing pneumonia, empyema, or lung abscess. Antibiotic selection should be aligned with CAP or HAP guidelines even if aspiration is suspected or observed. Docusate has not been shown to be more effective than placebo. Evidence-based and effective laxatives, such as PEG 3350 or psyllium, should be used instead. Patients with heart failure should not be fluid restricted unless they have hyponatremia. Excessive fluid should be treated with diuretics and optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy.

Avez-vous souvent mal au ventre sans vraiment comprendre pourquoi ? Ballonnements, diarrhée, constipation, intestin irritable… Vos examens sont-ils « normaux » alors que, vous, vous sentez bien que quelque chose ne va pas ? Et si votre ventre gardait aussi la trace de votre stress, de vos émotions, voire de certains traumatismes ? Comment sortir de cette spirale et réconcilier enfin son ventre et son cerveau ?Aujourd'hui, Anne Ghesquière reçoit le Pr Gabriel Perlemuter, hépato-gastro-entérologue, professeur des universités et membre de l'Académie nationale de médecine, auteur du Ventre en héritage, pourquoi j'ai mal (Éd. Flammarion - Versilio). Un livre nourri par ses recherches, mais aussi par des patients qui l'ont conduit à repenser sa manière de soigner et à explorer cette fascinante communication entre le cerveau et l'intestin. Car notre ventre n'est pas isolé : microbiote, hormones, système nerveux, histoire personnelle et traumatismes peuvent interagir et participer à nos symptômes.Cette conversation va vous permettre de mieux comprendre le syndrome de l'intestin irritable, mais aussi pourquoi il est parfois si difficile d'en sortir. SIBO, microbiote, stress, effet placebo et nocebo, nerf vague : le Pr Perlemuter décrypte les mécanismes qui peuvent entretenir la douleur et met en garde contre les fausses promesses qui nourrissent parfois l'errance médicale. Il partage aussi différentes pistes pour aller mieux : alimentation, prise en charge du stress et de l'anxiété, cohérence cardiaque, hypnose, TCC ou encore EMDR selon les situations. Si l'on vous a déjà dit « vous n'avez rien » ou « c'est dans votre tête » alors que votre ventre continue de vous faire souffrir, cet épisode pourrait vous aider à porter un autre regard sur vos symptômes et à comprendre pourquoi prendre soin de son ventre, c'est parfois aussi prendre soin de toute son histoire. Épisode #718Quelques citations du podcast avec le Pr Gabriel Perlemuter :"Votre intestin parle à votre cerveau, votre cerveau parle à votre intestin.""L'intestin irritable c'est comme un vase qui se remplit. (...) Et quand le vase déborde, vos symptômes apparaissent.""Des examens complémentaires sont faits pour confirmer une hypothèse diagnostique et pas l'inverse."À réécouter : #529 Jeûne intermittent : être en bonne santé#387 Pourquoi protéger son foie est la clé pour vivre longtempsRecevez chaque semaine l'inspirante newsletter Métamorphose par Anne GhesquièreDécouvrez Objectif Métamorphose, notre programme en 12 étapes pour partir à la rencontre de soi-même.Suivez nos RS : Insta, Facebook et TikTokAbonnez-vous sur Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Deezer / Castbox / YouTubeSoutenez Métamorphose en rejoignant la Tribu MétamorphoseThèmes abordés lors du podcast avec le Pr Gabriel Perlemuter :00:00Introduction01:25L'invité, le Pr Gabriel Perlemuter02:36Quand notre ventre hérite de notre histoire11:18Intestin irritable : comprendre enfin ce qui fait mal21:41Cerveau-intestin-microbiote : l'incroyable dialogue intérieur30:02Probiotiques, placebo, nocebo : démêler le vrai du faux40:15Apaiser le cerveau pour soulager le ventre51:11Alimentation : manger mieux sans tomber dans l'obsession01:00:18Rompre la chaîne et faire la paix avec son ventreAvant-propos et précautions à l'écoute du podcast Photo : Catherine Delahaye © Flammarion Hébergé par Acast.

405: What actually happens when you cut carbs and eat only meat? Today I'm joined by Dr. Shawn Baker to break down the carnivore diet and why so many people swear by it. We talk about whether carbs are truly essential, constipation and digestion, inflammation, mental health, how to transition into carnivore, and whether you really need to eat protein right after a workout. Shawn also shares what his diet looks like nearly 10 years into eating carnivore and whether he still considers himself strictly carnivore. Topics Discussed: → Is there such a thing as “essential carbs”? → Benefits of the carnivore diet → Misconceptions about the carnivore diet → Constipation on the carnivore diet → Mental health → Inflammatory foods → Why someone would want to go carnivore → How to start out with the carnivore diet → How to consume meat if you have digestive issues → Common mistakes on the carnivore diet → Is there an optimum time to consume protein after a workout or is that all a myth?

If you manage those things your chances of developing Alzheimer’s are much lower. Then, I talked about coffee and aging. There is a protein that coffee stimulates that slows down aging!

Dr. Ross Pelton, Director of Science & Education for Essential Formulas Incorporated, maker of Dr. Ohhira's premium probiotic products, reveals how the gut microbiome affects metabolism, appetite, weight regulation, and overall health. He emphasizes the importance of microbiome diversity, supported by eating a wide variety of plant foods rich in fiber and polyphenols, and discusses how fermented foods and postbiotic metabolites help maintain a healthy gut environment. Pelton explains Dr. Ohhira's multi-year fermentation process and the idea that postbiotics may be key health regulators. He reviews studies suggesting benefits from Dr. Ohhira's probiotics for athletic performance markers, reduced fatigue, and improved bowel regularity, and notes research showing antibiotic-related losses in gut diversity can persist for years. He also mentions a higher-dose “Reset Challenge,” a postbiotic paste concentrate, and an ME-3 product aimed at increasing glutathione.
Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Retatrutide, the third-generation injectable making waves as the most powerful weight-loss drug studied yet. It targets three hormone pathways at once instead of just one or two, and early trial participants have lost staggering amounts of weight, some over 30 percent of their body weight. But is more always better? Jenn breaks down how this triple mechanism works in the body, what the research shows so far, and why it might finally help the roughly 10 percent of people who never responded to earlier GLP-1s. Still, she has been raising the same concerns since Ozempic first came onto the scene, and this new drug is no exception. Is Retatrutide the breakthrough the weight loss world has been waiting for, or just a stronger version of the same unanswered questions? Tune in to hear Jenn's full take. Like what you're hearing?

Today I'll be breaking down:Does fiber actually work for constipation - the real effectiveness number across sixteen randomized trialsDoes magnesium work for constipation - it was WAY less effective than I guessed it'd beDoes drinking more water help constipation - what one meta-analysis revealed in a 141 person studyHow well MiraLAX holds up to research — including the number from Bayer's own funded research If you are tired of being handed the same four pieces of advice and you do not want to spend one more year trying the same things over and over again that aren't changing anything — then this episode is for you.

It's that time again, the fall season, back to school, AKA the time when kids come home with a rough virus or two. Dr. Chris Motley explains why kids get the same cold or sinus infection at the same time every fall, and why it's usually a dormant infection resurfacing rather than a new one from school. He covers the Traditional Chinese Medicine mechanism behind it, how to read facial signs for which organ is struggling, and the specific herbs (astragalus, elderberry, olive leaf, chrysanthemum, acerola, golden thread) he recommends to build a child's immune system before cold season hits. [00:00:00] - Opening: the cold that hits your kid at the same time every single year [00:01:15] - Welcome to the Ancient Health Podcast, and the disclaimer up front [00:02:00] - Why it's not a new infection from school. It's an old one waking up [00:04:47] - The Five Element cycle: why fall energizes the lungs and large intestine [00:06:58] - Lungs and colon are paired organs, and the embryology behind it [00:09:08] - Modern life broke hibernation, and why the immune system pays for it [00:11:13] - The classroom "perfect storm" and the walking pneumonia bacteria almost everyone carries [00:13:38] - Reading the face: puffy cheeks, swollen temples, and what they mean [00:15:43] - Dark circles, tongue coating, and the kidney connection [00:18:50] - Chapped lips, swollen glands, and cleaning up the air and water at home [00:24:57] - Neti pots, sugar, and testing for hidden food sensitivities [00:26:51] - The herb list: astragalus, elderberry, olive leaf, chrysanthemum, acerola, golden thread [00:33:39] - Bone broth, seaweed soup, and the antimicrobial spice cabinet [00:36:03] - The long game: consistency, adult dosing, and why this isn't a one-season fix Key Takeaways The "new" cold is usually an old infection resurfacing. Doctor Motley argues that when a child gets the same infection every season (strep throat, ear infections, chronic bronchitis), it's rarely a fresh case picked up at school. It's a dormant infection already living in the body, stimulated back to the surface by outside stress. Fall specifically activates the lungs and large intestine. In TCM's Five Element cycle, autumn is metal season, and the lungs and colon (paired organs, both developing from the same embryonic endoderm) get extra energy to detoxify the body ahead of winter. That detox process is what pushes dormant infections out as cold and sinus symptoms. The lung and large intestine claim actually holds up. Unlike some of the embryology claims flagged on prior episodes, this one checks out: both organs develop from endoderm during early fetal development, which is the real anatomical basis for why TCM treats them as a linked pair. A child's face tells you which organ needs help. Puffy, pale swelling points to lung weakness. Swollen temples or tight ears point to the spleen. Dark circles under the eyes point to the kidneys. Chapped lips point to a swollen spleen and possibly the lymph nodes. None of these are diagnoses on their own, but Motley uses them as a starting point for what to get checked. Constipation backs up into the lungs. If a child isn't having regular bowel movements, Motley says the body starts pushing toxins out through the breath instead, which shows up as bad breath, tonsil stones, and chronically congested sinuses. The herb list, in the order Motley reaches for them: astragalus first, as his go-to immune builder; elderberry for antiviral support; olive leaf to block viral replication; chrysanthemum (sold as Vital Guard Supreme) as the gentlest, pregnancy-and-nursing-safe option; acerola for vitamin C and hydration support; and golden thread (Coptis chinensis) as the stronger antimicrobial for a deeper, more stubborn infection. One correction worth knowing before you repeat it: Doctor Motley names anaplasma as a cause of "walking pneumonia" alongside mycoplasma. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the actual, well-established cause of walking pneumonia. Anaplasma is a tick-borne bacterium that rarely affects the lungs at all.

Constipation is often met with the same advice: eat more fibre, drink more water and move more. But what if you're already doing all of that and still struggling? In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki explores why constipation isn't one single problem — and why piling on more fibre can sometimes make things worse. She breaks down the differences between slow-transit constipation, IBS-related symptoms and pelvic floor dysfunction, including dyssynergic defecation. Mikki also looks at why the type of fibre matters, the evidence for psyllium, kiwifruit, prunes and magnesium oxide, and when supplements or medications may actually be contributing to the problem. Plus, she explains the signs that suggest it may be time to look beyond nutrition and seek medical or pelvic health support.In this episode:Why more fibre can sometimes worsen bloating and constipationPsyllium versus inulin, chicory root and insoluble fibresThe overlooked role of pelvic floor dysfunction and outlet obstructionEvidence for two kiwifruit daily, prunes and magnesium oxideOther contributors including medications, supplements, thyroid function, under-eating, stress and poor sleep Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Productivity gurus insist we must engineer ourselves into completion machines. This is nonsense, rather like insisting everyone should enjoy opera. The truth, as behavioral psychology reveals, is delightfully simple: we finish what we're motivated and able to do. Everything else is self-sabotage mistaken for ambition. Perfectionism, is a whole side mission that gets in the way of anything causing creative constipation. We can start working smarter by abandoning the unrewarding, delegating the tedious, and valuing time so highly that saying no becomes second nature. Identify what you reliably finish and do more of that Remove non-essential blockers that make tasks harder than needed Treat big ideas as stepping stones, not precious monuments Learn to let go of the big ideas that hold you back and start doing more things that you will actually finish.

What if you've spent years being told that everything is “normal,” while your body is telling you something completely different? In this episode of the Health Detective Podcast, Michele Scarlet sits down with Chandra Marin, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, to explore her decades-long journey with chronic symptoms, digestive dysfunction, brain fog, anxiety, fatigue, and unexplained health challenges. Chandra's story began in her teens with severe constipation, episodes of passing out, chronic headaches, painful periods, and a feeling that her metabolism simply wasn't working like everyone else's. After contracting West Nile virus, her energy declined even further, making exercise, hiking, dancing, and everyday activities increasingly difficult. For years, conventional testing continued to come back “normal,” while her symptoms persisted. Everything changed when Chandra discovered Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and Functional Lab Testing. Instead of relying on generic advice, she finally received personalized information about what was happening inside her body. Testing revealed significant gut dysfunction, food sensitivities, bacterial imbalance, digestive issues, and other areas requiring support. One of the biggest turning points came from identifying foods her body was reacting to. Within about three weeks of following a personalized food-sensitivity-based protocol, her severe bloating and gas dramatically improved, her stomach felt normal, her energy began returning, and she lost 10–12 pounds. Chandra also shares how personalized healing protocols, metabolic typing, hormone support, and a deeper understanding of her nervous system helped improve her energy, concentration, mood, anxiety, and brain fog. Most importantly, this conversation explores the emotional side of chronic health challenges, including losing hope, gaslighting yourself, feeling ashamed, and eventually learning to trust your body again. Discover why Chandra believes your body is not the enemy, it is the authority, and why becoming your own “health detective” can be the beginning of a completely different relationship with your health.

Gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz returns with a complete guide to constipation, including the symptoms many people overlook even when they are having a bowel movement every day. Dr. B joins Chuck Carroll to explain the different patterns of constipation, including slow transit, pelvic-floor or outlet dysfunction, IBS with constipation, and the surprisingly common problem of a digestive system that has simply fallen out of rhythm. They also discuss the morning habits that may help train your body when to go, foods associated with constipation relief, magnesium and fiber supplements, questions surrounding long-term laxative use, and why a full colon can contribute to bloating, nausea, early fullness, and loss of appetite. Chuck shares his own experience after years of severe constipation and reveals the routine that has helped him become more regular while improving his bloating and appetite.
In this episode, Dr. Jockers reveals the number one gut-healing strategy that supports a healthier microbiome, reduces gut issues like gas, bloating, parasites, and constipation, and explains why mitochondrial function inside your intestinal cells plays a critical role in healing.

#323 Fibremaxxing is having a real moment right now — and while I'm all for people increasing their fibre intake to support their microbiome, "eat more fibre" isn't universal advice for constipation. For a specific group of people, more fibre doesn't just fail to help. It genuinely makes things worse. In this episode, I walk through exactly who fibre can backfire for and why — including SIBO and IMO, pelvic floor dysfunction (dyssynergic defecation), and slow transit constipation. I cover the real mechanisms behind how fibre works, why fluid intake changes the equation, what the research actually shows about low FODMAP diets (and what it doesn't), and why I don't believe in long-term fibre or FODMAP restriction. If you've increased your fibre, done everything "right," and either nothing's changed, or you've gotten worse — this episode explains why that's not failure; it's information. Links:
When we think about core stability, digestive efficiency, or functional breathing patterns, we rarely consider the foundational muscle group resting at the base of our pelvis. Yet, pelvic floor health directly dictates everything from diaphragmatic excursion to bowel regularity, posture, and systemic stress management.In this episode, Hallie sits down with Dr. Svetlana Mehlman, a physical therapist specializing in pelvic health, back pain, and lymphatic drainage. Dr. Svetlana breaks down the complex anatomy and mechanics of the pelvic floor, explaining why a tight, tense pelvic muscle is often a hypertonic, weakened one rather than a strong one.About the Guest: Svetlana Mehlman, PT, DPT, MLD-CDr. Svetlana Mehlman is a physical therapist specializing in pelvic health, back pain, and lymphatic drainage. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Human Development from Cornell University and completed her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at New York University. Her passion for pelvic floor physical therapy was ignited early in her career while treating pregnant and postpartum patients suffering from pain and pelvic dysfunction.Key Topics & TakeawaysThe Pelvic Core Connection: Understanding how the pelvic floor acts as the true base of your deep stabilization system, working in tandem with the diaphragm and abdominal wall.Tightness vs. Strength: Demystifying the myth that a tight pelvic floor is a strong one, and why muscle hypertonicity restricts blood flow, movement, and functional length.Breathing and Digestive Motility: Exploring how diaphragmatic movement mechanically massages internal organs, directly impacting gut motility, constipation, and bowel transit time.Soundbites"The pelvic floor is an integral part of your deep core system. It cannot function in isolation from how you breathe or sit.""Muscles need to move through a full range of motion. A tight pelvic floor is not a strong pelvic floor—it's a fatigued, restricted one.""When we fix the breathing mechanics at the top, we relieve the mechanical pressure on the pelvic floor at the bottom."Timestamps 000:01:04 — Hallie Bulkin introduces guest Svetlana Mehlman (DPT, CSCS).00:02:41 — What is the pelvic floor and how does it function as part of the core?00:05:00 — The role and mechanics of using a Squatty Potty.00:08:08 — The link between chronic constipation, bladder issues, and incontinence.00:10:46 — Practical tips: The "I Love You" abdominal massage.00:12:00 — How diaphragmatic breathing regulates the pelvic floor and nervous system.00:15:16 — Why travel and routine changes trigger constipation.00:22:30 — Common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction (and why tight doesn't mean strong).00:29:31 — Why you should never "hover" or rely on "just-in-case" peeing.00:32:14 — Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) principles and how posture connects to pelvic health.Links & ResourcesConnect with Dr. Svetlana: Explore specialized care programs, resources, and consultation details at Pelvic Harmony.If this episode changed how you see the body, that's just one case.

Vacations are a time to experience new things, and restore our minds and bodies — but sometimes the opposite happens. On this episode, when vacations wreck your health — and how to deal. We hear about evidence-based ways of overcoming jet lag, tips for avoiding "vacation constipation,” surviving the cruise from hell, and what's behind snorkeling deaths in Hawaii.SHOW NOTES: We hear from listeners about their worst vacation-related health incidents, ranging from chicken pox to head injuries. Ahead of an international trip, Pulse host Maiken Scott talks with Olivia Walch, a researcher at University of Michigan and CEO of a circadian rhythm startup called Arcascope, about the biological processes behind jet lag, and evidence-based tips on how to prevent the worst of it. Ever notice that your first couple days on a trip, you become a little … backed up? Pulse producer Nichole Currie talks with neurogastroenterologist Trisha Pasricha about what causes “vacation constipation,” and how to overcome it. Pasricha's new book is “You've Been Pooping All Wrong: How to Make Your Bowel Movements a Joy.” Listen to their full interview. As avid globetrotters, Gay and Phil Courter always loved going on cruises — until their trip got taken over by an unexpected threat. Pulse reporter Liz Tung recounts the story of how they ended up trapped on a cruise they didn't want to be on — and how they ultimately escaped. Watch their documentary on the experience, or read Gay's book. Of all the adventurous activities on offer while traveling — from volcano trekking to whitewater rafting — there's one that might be a bit more dangerous than you'd expect: snorkeling. We talk with Caitlin Thompson, an investigative reporter for Honolulu Civil Beat, about Hawaii's perplexing number of snorkeling deaths, and the potential causes.

387: Get food freedom from food addiction while saving money at the same time! I have Coach Lynda Barco on with me today, and in our conversation we discuss how she was able to lose weight, reduce pain, and break free from her past food addiction by going carnivore—and how you can too! We discuss common misconceptions around the carnivore diet, including whether it causes constipation or actually helps relieve it, whether eating red meat will cause a heart attack, why we need cholesterol for hormone production, and whether going carnivore saves you money or drains your bank account. Coach Lynda also shares how her own daughter, who was hospitalized and nearly died from ulcerative colitis, was able to go into remission after adopting a carnivore diet. So if you've been carnivore-curious and want to test it out for yourself, this episode gives tips on how to get started and what not to do when first beginning the carnivore diet. Topics Discussed: → How the carnivore diet has helped others → How the carnivore diet gives you food freedom → Misconceptions about the carnivore diet → Constipation relief → Remission from colitis → Tips for going carnivore → Finding what works for you As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.
