Effective Natural Bloating And Constipation Hacks Face it: Bloating and constipation hacks are necessary when discomfort strikes.   When your belly feels gassy and like a balloon, or you can’t go #2 (no matter how hard you try), you want relief, and you want it now! Enter: natural bloating remedies and natural constipation remedies.   And while bloating and constipation often go hand-in-hand, there are also some distinct differences in the two conundrums.   What is Bloating?   Bloating is swelling or distension in the abdominal region, often characterized by a distended belly. Bloating may be accompanied by burping (belching), gas (flatulence, farting), abdominal discomfort, and a feeling of fullness. It typically occurs directly after a meal or within 1-2 hours after.

What Is  Orthorexia? Have you heard of orthorexia ? Do you consider yourself orthorexic because you eat healthy and avoid certain foods? Or is it “normal” to eat healthy, and still not want to eat certain foods?   Let’s explore… Orthorexia 101:   Orthorexia, the “obsession with healthy eating,” is a classified eating disorder according to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).   It is defined as: “an obsession with eating foods that one considers healthy; a medical condition in which the sufferer systematically avoids specific foods in the belief that they are harmful.” Like those with other eating disorders, individuals who struggle with orthorexia often find themselves a little bit obsessed, anxious or overthinking food on a daily basis.   However, sounds quite a bit like those who are on any current diet or health protocol to recover their health doesn’t it? From the Whole 30, to Keto , Vegan, GAPS, the Autoimmune Protoco...

What is Healthy Poop? Do you have healthy poop ? And what does “healthy poop” look like anyhow?!   Use the following charts and at-home assessments to determine what healthy poop IS (and what healthy poop is NOT)! HEALTHY POOP DEFINED   When our poop is “off,” it indicates something else is “off.” For most of my childhood, teens and early 20’s, I thought my poop patterns were normal—after all, all I had known for those 20+ years was: Going #2 every other day Switching between mushy, loose and watery and hard (as a rock)—constantly Never having ONE time to “go” And occasionally popping a Colace stool softener or drinking Miralax Newsflash: I did NOT have healthy poop , and my poo patterns were NOT normal. When I first discovered what healthy poop SHOULD look like (the “golden poo” or “golden nugget”) AND that we should actually go 1-2 times per day, my mind was blown!   How can I get healthy poop—and actually go #2….most days?!

You may WANT to eat—but not be able to eat (or eat certain foods) because you get constipated, bloated or symptoms when you do.
