Constipation is one of the most common digestive concerns, yet it is often treated as a minor inconvenience rather than a sign of deeper imbalance. In this recorded course, you’ll explore constipation as a systemic pattern influenced by digestion, circadian rhythm, hydration, nervous system signaling, and long-term lifestyle habits.
The class moves beyond short-term remedies to examine why constipation becomes chronic, why it often begins early in life, and why different people experience it in very different ways. You’ll gain insight into how bowel regularity is shaped by daily rhythms, metabolic activity, dietary moisture, and digestive tone, and why restoring natural elimination requires more than adding fiber or laxatives.
This class is well suited for individuals and practitioners seeking a clearer, root-cause framework for understanding and supporting healthy, consistent elimination.

Regular bowel movements depend on coordination between digestion, nervous system signaling, hydration, and daily rhythm. In this recorded course, you’ll examine constipation as a functional imbalance rather than an isolated digestive symptom, gaining clarity on why it often persists despite repeated interventions.
The course begins by exploring the three foundational elements of healthy elimination—movement, bulk, and moisture—and how breakdown in any one of these can lead to sluggish transit. You’ll learn why disrupted circadian rhythms, irregular eating, chronic stress, inadequate hydration, and long-standing habits can gradually impair bowel function and rewire gut–brain communication.
From there, the course explores constitutional and lifestyle patterns commonly associated with chronic constipation, including tendencies toward dryness, cold digestion, low metabolic activity, and nervous system rigidity. Attention is given to how warming foods, consistent routines, dietary moisture, and supportive habits are discussed in holistic health traditions for restoring balance over time.
Rather than promoting quick fixes, the class emphasizes patience, rhythm, and gradual repair. The goal is to provide a clear framework for understanding constipation as a process that can be shifted through sustained, supportive change rather than dependence on stimulants or short-term solutions.
