Send us a text "Feel, think, act, repeat." Teresa and Tom explore how 'intellectual constipation,' is a sign of a lack of creative outflow. In this episode, through personal examples of recent experiences, they share another angle around the difference between your true feelings, your intellect, and emotions. They emphasize the importance of accepting one's true feelings rather than relying solely on the intellectual programming of emotional reactions. They describe how to regain enthusiasm by respecting yourself enough to tune into your true feelings, then discern and fact find, before moving into action. We have been trained to look outside of ourselves first for direction and answers, which is backwards. "Simplifying things is key." The discussion touches on their experience and personal solutions around how they simplified areas such as health and spiritual information, while maintaining respecting others' journeys and choices. "It's liberating."They advocate for recognizing and trusting one's own inner wisdom gained from lifetimes as a soul, along with your inner Guidance to clarify what is a concept that no longer fits, and "programmed" emotions versus true feelings. This is a path for organized purposeful action and accomplishment with fulfillment.Discover spiritual truths delivered in a practical way in these three e-books created by The Wayshowers College.

Master your minerals. Harmonize your hormones. Start your mineral journey here. What if the root of your child's health struggles isn't another cream, pill, or quick fix, but something much deeper?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nina Marie Rueda, a naturopath who works with children and families through a functional, integrative lens. Her own journey started during her first pregnancy, when she realized how little she'd supported her body and baby with nutrition.

Dr. Nina explains how testing works, why hair analysis often gives a clearer picture than blood work for children, and what common mineral patterns she sees in practice. The conversation is raw, practical, and full of insights for parents trying to make sense of their kids' health struggles without getting lost in overwhelm.You'll Learn:How a Bradley Method class shifted Dr. Nina's path to naturopathyWhat minerals actually do in kids' bodies and why they're essentialThe link between taste buds, zinc, and picky eatingWhy hair mineral tests show the long game while blood work is a snapshotCommon mineral patterns seen in children with eczemaHow heavy metals disrupt gut microbes and fuel skin issuesThe mineral imbalances behind sleep struggles in kidsWhy parents' own mineral status affects mealtime stressThe reason some kids' multivitamins should avoid iron and copperHow minerals shape digestion, detox, and resilience in childrenTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[05:47] Why minerals are the non-negotiable foundation for children's health[07:40] Hair testing versus blood work for understanding mineral balance in kids[13:05] Why picky eating in kids often comes down to mineral imbalances and taste buds[22:46] Eczema in kids and the role of mineral imbalances and heavy metals[39:43] How mineral imbalances and heavy metals disrupt children's sleep patterns[45:22] Choosing the right multivitamins for kids and why avoiding copper and iron matters[49:10] Making supplements part of daily family routinesResources Mentioned:Minerals & Gut Health Connection for Eczema Course | WebsiteGut and Minerals Free Resource | WebsitePicky Eaters Protocol | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Nina:Nerdy Notes with Nina Marie | SubstackDr. Nina Marie | WebsiteDr. Nina Marie | InstagramFind more from Amanda:Hormone Healing RD | InstagramHormone Healing RD | WebsiteHormone Healing RD | FacebookHormone Healing RD | YouTubeHormone Healing RD | TikTok

What if you could take back control of your bladder, feel strong and supported from the inside out, and transform how you move through midlife, starting with your pelvic floor? This week, we’re going there. I’m joined by Kim Vopni, widely known as The Vagina Coach, a pioneer in pelvic health education, bestselling author, and founder of the Buff Muff Method. We break the silence around issues like incontinence, prolapse, and pelvic pain, topics often brushed off or suffered through in silence. Kim shares why pelvic health is central to longevity, energy, and confidence, and how women can ditch the shame and start healing. We talk about why Kegels are not a one-size-fits-all solution, the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic pelvic floors, and why habits like straining or skipping water can quietly sabotage your core. If you’ve ever leaked while laughing, or quietly wondered if what you're feeling is normal, this episode is your permission slip to ask questions, get answers, and reclaim your pelvic power. Key Takeaways: Pelvic health is essential for midlife vitality and long-term wellness Leakage, urgency, prolapse, and pain are common—but not inevitable Kegels aren’t a universal solution; some women need relaxation, not just strength Professional pelvic health evaluations are game-changing Constipation, dehydration and bathroom habits directly affect pelvic floor health Your feet and posture influence your pelvic alignment Education around pelvic health should start earlier and happen more often Shame and silence are the biggest barriers to healing Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/4Rx14InFehESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why Your Child's 'Growing Pains' Are A Warning Sign for Pelvic Misalignment | The Prime Podcast - Episode 339 Is your child waking up at night complaining of deep, aching leg pain? As a parent, you've likely been told it's just "growing pains"—a normal phase they'll eventually outgrow. But what if that common advice is wrong? In this crucial episode of The Prime Podcast (Episode 339), Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies expose the truth behind this widespread misconception. They reveal why "growing pains" are often a major warning sign of an underlying structural issue: pelvic misalignment. Learn how simple childhood tumbles and falls can create imbalances in the pelvis, leading to nervous system interference and causing the frustrating, recurring leg pain that keeps your child (and you) up at night. Discover the tell-tale signs that the pain isn't from growth, such as when it consistently affects only one leg. The doctors explain how this core issue can be connected to other common childhood conditions like chronic constipation, early motor delays, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), and even painful PMS in the teen years. Most importantly, get empowered with simple, at-home checks you can perform to spot these subtle imbalances in your child's posture and muscle development. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie advocate for a proactive, natural approach to health that addresses the root cause of the pain, rather than just masking the symptoms with medication. If you're tired of feeling helpless and are looking for real solutions for your child's discomfort, this episode provides the valuable insights and actionable steps you need to foster a foundation of true health and proper alignment for your family. MEDICAL TERMS EXPLAINED Subluxation: A chiropractic term for a misalignment or altered position of the vertebrae or pelvic bones, which can interfere with the nervous system's ability to communicate effectively with the rest of the body. Pelvic Misalignment: A condition where the pelvis is not level, balanced, or symmetrical. This forces the body to compensate for the imbalance, often leading to uneven weight distribution, muscle strain, joint dysfunction, and pain, particularly in the lower back and legs. Nervous System Interference: When a subluxation or misalignment puts pressure on, irritates, or distorts nerves, it disrupts the flow of vital information between the brain and the body. This interference can negatively impact muscle function, organ health, developmental milestones, and overall well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Pain is NOT a normal part of growth; it is a critical signal that indicates an underlying issue. "Growing pains" that consistently occur on one side of the body are a strong indicator of a structural imbalance, not uniform growth. The primary cause of these pains is frequently an unlevel or misaligned pelvis, often resulting from accumulated falls and minor traumas experienced throughout childhood. Parents can learn practical, simple methods to observe and identify signs of postural and muscular imbalances in their children at home. Adopting a proactive approach, particularly through chiropractic care, can effectively identify and correct the underlying structural causes, offering a real and lasting solution beyond temporary symptom management.

If you're one of those people who thinks pooping every few days is "normal for you," we need to talk.

In this episode, you'll hear: What actually counts as constipation - and why needing Metamucil every night means you're constipated How constipation creates estrogen dominance, leading to fertility issues, painful periods, and stubborn weight Why your poop is the bottom of your drainage funnel - and what happens when that pathway gets backed up The connection between your pelvic floor, emotional trauma, and your ability to have a good bowel movement Why your morning routine might be sabotaging your digestive system before you even start the day The real deal on fiber intake How chronic stress and mineral depletion are literally backing you up from the inside out Key Takeaways: You should be pooping 1-3 times every single day - anything less means those toxins and excess hormones are recirculating through your body Your gut can hold up to 30 pounds of waste, creating bacterial overgrowth that shows up as bloating, mood issues, and digestive problems Constipation isn't a laxative deficiency - if you've been taking the same supplement for years to poop, you need to dig deeper into the root cause You might want to check out: Meal Hygiene 101: How Mindful Eating Can Transform Your Digestion and Health Drainage Pathways 101: How to Support Detox, & Eliminate Toxins Naturally Want more from us?

Check out today's questions: Leah: Hi, I was wondering if you know about how to deal with constipation and stuck poop due to tortuous colon. Thank you! Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral, I'm reaching out regarding my husband, who is 47 years old and experiencing a range of symptoms that we're hoping to better understand. He has sensitive gums that are gradually receding, and he produces an excessive amount of earwax. He blows his nose daily and often feels tightness and tension in his neck, throat, and upper body. He is gluten intolerant and also reacts to milk sugar and lactose. Additionally, he frequently struggles to fall asleep. While these symptoms may not be directly related, I'd greatly appreciate your insight into any potential underlying connections or contributing factors and ideas to what my husband can do to change this. Thank you very much for your time and expertise. Ellen: I have a question about high serum vitamin B12 levels. The normal range on the lab is 232 - 946. I am more than double the high end of the range at 1945. I take a daily multivitamin with with 400 mcg of B12, and take no other B12 supplement. Why is my number so high? Diana: Hi Dr. Cabral, My liver is stressed. Found out I have fatty liver in May, but am already doing everything I should to help reverse it. I'm wondering what you would do in my situation. For background, I have Ehlers Danlos & ME/CFS for 30 years (I'm 42). Have horrible PEM (can't walk for 5 mins, have to carefully plan all exertion), so can't exercise. Hypometabolic & blood glucose constantly elevated & spikes with exertion (walking to my kitchen, etc.), but eat healthy & no spikes with food. EBV reactivated 5 years ago & won't go away. Did Big 5 last year, nothing with liver came up. Have mold toxicity & SIBO, took binders to help. Did CBO protocol, but SIBO & mold won't go away. Do 21-day detox regularly, take DNS powder 2x per day + almost all supplements suggested in NAFLD podcast. Allen: I am new to your podcast but saw you are offering the First Labs Program for 50% off labs. Is this all labs like the Big 5, or only certain ones. Can I run all of them?

It can leave you drained, second-guessing yourself, and wondering if you're doing something wrong. You're not alone. It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain.In this episode, we uncover the hidden link between gut issues and emotional dysregulation in kids. You'll learn how the gut-brain connection affects mood, behavior, and focus—and discover practical steps to support both your child's emotional well-being and their gut microbiome at home.Why does my child melt down after eating certain foods?Many parents tell me they notice their child's behavior shifts right after meals—but what they don't realize is that the gut microbiome plays a significant role in emotional regulation.Food sensitivities like gluten, dairy, and artificial dyes can spark systemic inflammation, which shows up as mood swings and behavior changes.Constipation and poor gut health allow toxins to recirculate, affecting both emotional well-being and even pain perception.A leaky gut—or increased intestinal permeability—lets harmful substances enter the bloodstream, disrupting the brain and nervous system.So if your child melts down after eating, it may not be “just behavior.” It's communication from the gut-brain axis—and your child's body is asking for help.If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works…Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and take the first step to a calmer home.How are gut issues connected to emotional dysregulation?Most parents assume the gut is only about digestion, but it actually has a direct line to the central nervous system and your child's mental health. When the gut is off balance, your child's ability to regulate emotions, focus, and cope with stress takes a hit too.Did you know that up to 90% of serotonin, the neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and attention, is made in the digestive tract? That means your child's gut isn't just helping them process food—it's helping them manage emotions and stay calm.When there's gut dysbiosis (an imbalance of beneficial gut bacteria), kids are more likely to struggle with heightened anxiety, depressive symptoms, and poor emotional regulation.Chronic stress and an unhealthy gut microbiome create a feedback loop that keeps kids stuck in cycles of emotional distress and behavioral challenges.
After years of severe constipation and a diagnosis of colonic inertia at 13, I was told at 16 that my only option was surgery to remove most of my bowel. Feeling hopeless, I searched for alternatives and discovered colon hydrotherapy, which provided instant relief and changed my life. Learning to do enemas at home gave me control over my health, and through detoxification with coffee enemas, I experienced a complete transformation - clear skin, mental clarity, and even the ability to conceive naturally despite previous medical doubts. Determined to share this life changing knowledge, I became a colon hydrotherapist and founded Happy Bum Co to break the stigma surrounding gut health and provide simple, effective solutions. Today, Happy Bum Co is a global leader in at-home detox, empowering individuals to reclaim their well-being, and I am so grateful to be part of this movement.https://happybumco.com/https://www.facebook.com/happybumcohttps://www.instagram.com/happybumco/________________________________________________________________________________________Come join my Buff Muff Community www.buffmuff.comThank you so much for listening!

In this episode of Homeopathy 247, Mary Greensmith welcomes back Jagoda Salewska, who shares her passion for the remedy Natrum Muriaticum (often called Nat Mur). For Jagoda, this remedy feels deeply personal—something she has resonated with since childhood—and she explains why it is such an essential remedy both emotionally and physically. What is Natrum Muriaticum? Natrum Muriaticum is made from common salt. Since salt is present in every cell of our body and essential for life, this remedy has a wide-reaching influence. It's used in both cell salt (tissue salt) form, which acts more on the physical body, and in homoeopathic remedy form, which works on emotional as well as physical levels. Jagoda describes it as a remedy that “balances the water of life”—helping with issues of dryness and excess fluid, as well as with emotional stuckness. The Emotional Picture – Sadness, Grief, and Sensitivity At its core, Natrum Muriaticum is linked with deep, unresolved grief or sadness. People who need it often: Hold their emotions inside rather than express them Prefer to cry alone, or sometimes feel unable to cry at all Build a protective “wall” around themselves, appearing strong on the outside but deeply tender within Show perfectionist tendencies, carefully controlling how they present to the world Jagoda points out that while grief is the most common theme, the remedy helps whenever emotions become “stuck”—unable to flow naturally. By gently releasing those emotions, Natrum Muriaticum allows healing to move forward. Nat Mur in Children Children needing Natrum Muriaticum may not show obvious grief, but they often reveal themselves in other ways. Traits can include: Perfectionism in appearance or behaviour Being thin or underdeveloped compared to peers Learning or speech delays Sensitivity to light, sound, or strong emotions Constipation or dryness in the body Physically, they may be prone to colds with lots of sneezing and clear discharges, cracked lips, or mouth ulcers. These symptoms all reflect the remedy's connection with water balance and dryness. Physical Complaints and Water Balance Because salt governs fluid balance, Natrum Muriaticum is often indicated where there is too much or too little fluid in the body. Common examples include: Headaches or migraines, especially from the sun or after emotional upset Colds and fevers, with streaming eyes and nose Skin issues such as cold sores, cracked lips, eczema, or acne that appear after grief Digestive troubles, sometimes linked with unprocessed emotions Insomnia, especially waking in the early hours between 3–5am In tissue salt form (6X potency), Nat Mur can also be used as a natural electrolyte to support hydration, especially after diarrhoea, vomiting, or heat exposure. Opening Layers of Healing Jagoda explains that Natrum Muriaticum is often a layer remedy. It helps open the door for other remedies by releasing blocked grief and sadness. Sometimes this uncovering reveals deeper emotions such as anger or resentment, which then call for a different prescription. In homoeopathy, the healing journey often involves peeling back layers. Nat Mur is one of the remedies that can begin this process, gently breaking down walls so that emotions and physical symptoms can flow and heal. Remedy Relationships Ignatia is often used for acute grief, while Nat Mur is suited for the longer, deeper stages of sorrow. Apis acts as an acute counterpart, especially when swelling or allergic reactions appear suddenly, while Nat Mur deals with the slower, underlying imbalance. The remedy also connects strongly with the cycles of nature, including the moon and the sea, reflecting its deep link to water and emotions. Natrum Muriaticum is much more than “just salt.” It is a profound remedy that touches both the physical and emotional levels of health. From headaches and colds to grief and perfectionism, it helps restore balance when life feels stuck. As Jagoda beautifully puts it, Nat Mur helps us release the weight of sadness and move toward wholeness.

Constipation is more than an inconvenience—it's a sign your gut is overwhelmed. In this episode of the School of Doza podcast, Nurse Doza breaks down 5 key habits to help you End Constipation for Good: What Your Gut's Been Trying to Tell You. From food swaps to liver support, this is your roadmap to daily relief and long-term gut health. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Eliminate inflammatory foods like sugar, dairy, and processed carbs to reduce gut inflammation. Supplementing with L-glutamine helps repair gut lining and ease constipation symptoms. Detoxifying the liver improves estrogen clearance and supports daily bowel movements. Chronic stress paralyzes digestion—managing cortisol is essential for regularity. Magnesium can act as a natural laxative and supports smoother bowel movements. FEATURED PRODUCT The Good Poops Protocol combines three powerhouse supplements—Gut (L-glutamine), Liver Boost, and Berberine Plus—to help you restore digestive balance, reduce inflammation, and end constipation for good. Whether you're dealing with bloating, irregularity, or sluggish detox, this protocol gives your gut the support it's been begging for. → https://www.mswnutrition.com/collections/bundles/products/good-poops-protocol TIMESTAMPS 00:00 START – Intro: Why constipation needs to be addressed 03:00 – The link between constipation and colon cancer 05:00 – #1 Habit: Eliminate inflammatory foods (sugar, dairy, bread) 11:00 – Why homemade meals matter for gut health 13:00 – #2 Habit: Take glutamine to heal leaky gut 17:00 – L-glutamine dosage and family-friendly uses 18:00 – #3 Habit: Detox your liver to support bowel movements 21:00 – How the liver helps remove excess estrogen 23:00 – #4 Habit: Manage stress and understand the HPA axis 25:00 – Cortisol, Ozempic, and constipation connections 27:00 – The gut-brain connection and serotonin production 29:00 – Lifestyle stress reduction tips 29:50 – #5 Habit: Take magnesium for hydration and gut movement 31:00 – Good Poops Protocol overview and product stack 33:00 – Final message: Your gut can heal—just give it the tools RESOURCES MENTIONED Glutamine & Gut Health Study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5454963/ Liver & Microbiome Study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9687983/ Estrogen & Probiotics Study: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/microbiology/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2024.1363455/full Stress & Constipation Study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4819868/ Serotonin, HPA Axis, and Digestion: https://bmcgastroenterol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12876-024-03575-3 Magnesium for Constipation Overview: https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-998/magnesium Magnesium and Stool Frequency Study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8645769/ Magnesium Threonate in Constipation: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9972038/

Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals
Solifenacin is a bladder antimuscarinic medication most commonly used for overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence. Like other agents in its class, understanding the pharmacology can help anticipate potential side effects, drug interactions, and downstream prescribing problems. Mechanism of Action Solifenacin selectively blocks muscarinic M3 receptors in the bladder detrusor muscle. Inhibiting these receptors reduces involuntary bladder contractions, increases bladder capacity, and delays the urge to void. While M3 selectivity may theoretically reduce side effects compared to nonselective antimuscarinics, in clinical practice, many anticholinergic effects still occur. Adverse Effects Because muscarinic receptors are present throughout the body, solifenacin can lead to a range of anticholinergic adverse effects: Dry mouth – among the most common, can be significant enough to cause dental issues with long-term use. Constipation – especially problematic in older adults; severe cases may require hospitalization. Blurred vision – due to impaired accommodation. Cognitive impairment – increased risk in older adults, particularly with cumulative anticholinergic burden. Urinary retention – paradoxical worsening in patients with bladder outlet obstruction. Drug Interactions CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir) can increase solifenacin plasma concentrations, raising the risk of side effects. Other anticholinergics (e.g., diphenhydramine, tricyclic antidepressants, other bladder antimuscarinics) can result in additive toxicity and higher anticholinergic burden. QT-prolonging drugs (e.g., amiodarone, certain fluoroquinolones) may have additive cardiac risk since solifenacin has been associated with QT prolongation in rare cases. Prescribing Cascade Examples Constipation → Laxative initiation – A patient starts solifenacin for OAB and develops severe constipation, leading to chronic use of stimulant laxatives like senna or bisacodyl. Dry mouth → Mouth rinse prescription – Dry mouth is treated with saliva substitutes or prescription rinses, instead of reassessing the anticholinergic therapy. Cognitive decline → Donepezil initiation – In older adults, cognitive impairment may be mistaken for dementia progression, leading to cholinesterase inhibitor prescribing—directly counteracting the anticholinergic effects of solifenacin. Solifenacin can be an effective treatment for OAB, but the risk of adverse effects and prescribing cascades—especially in older adults—cannot be ignored. Healthcare professionals should regularly review the indication, monitor for anticholinergic burden, and look for opportunities to deprescribe when appropriate.

What if your bloating, fatigue, or constipation isn't just “gut-related”… but a thyroid clue?Dr. Heather Finley explains why low stomach acid, sluggish bile flow, and post-food poisoning symptoms can be red flags in thyroid cases. She shares how conventional approaches miss the deeper causes behind SIBO, constipation, and nutrient deficiencies and how gut issues can slow thyroid hormone conversion. We also touch on practical tools like stool testing, mineral analysis, and even burp tests that offer insight when standard labs fall short. Her approach is rooted in rebuilding function, not restriction.Tune in now!Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Preview01:50 – Podcast Intro02:23 – Heather's Gut & Thyroid Story04:14 – Dismissed by Doctors06:58 – Stress, Gut & Thyroid Link08:27 – Can You Heal Hashimoto's Without Healing the Gut?10:23 – Food Poisoning → IBS/SIBO12:36 – Health History Clues14:32 – Stool vs. Breath Testing15:41 – Constipation, Antibiotics, Early Gut Damage17:43 – Motility, Minerals & Thyroid19:14 – Low Stomach Acid Signs & Test24:18 – Gallbladder & Thyroid Connection27:41 – Parasites: Real or Hype?29:35 – Low IgA & Gut Diversity33:47 – Thyroid Labs That Matter35:00 – Hair Mineral Testing38:00 – Root-Cause Gut & Thyroid Healing38:58 – Timeline for Constipation Recovery40:21 – Connect with Dr. Heather41:29 – Podcast Outro41:49 – TakeawaysAbout Dr. Heather Finley: Today's guest is not your average gut health guru — she's a bloat-busting, hormone-balancing dietitian who's been in the trenches herself.

THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Gut Health Transformation Strategies for a Better Belly, Brain, and Body
Iodine is the building block to healthy and happy thyroid. Without sufficient iodine, we can't build the very hormones that our thyroid gland is supposed to make - T4 and T3. So, if you have a deficiency of thyroid hormone, as is in the case of hypothyroidism - why are more doctors looking into iodine deficiency as a possible root cause behind hypothyroidism? That is a question I'm answering on today's episode, along with the even more important questions of: if you're doctor isn't going to test you, how can YOU evaluate your own iodine levels. And secondly, if they are low, how can you safely build them up again. There's a lot of controversy around iodine, both on whether or not we even need more iodine in our diets as well as if iodine supplement is even safe. That's why, on today's episode, we're diving into: Symptoms of iodine deficiencyWhy iodine in salt is not enoughWhy iodine testing is so hardWhat tests I recommend to evaluate iodine levels3 safety measures for an iodine protocolAccess to my iodine protocol I've used with my own clients If you're dealing with hypothyroidism, bloating, constipation, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, or hormonal symptoms like estrogen dominance, PMS, or endometriosis - then this episode is for you.
