Episode Summary

Today, I’m thrilled to introduce Liz Roman, also known as The Poop Queen! Liz and I dive into her journey with chronic constipation and how she turned a personal health challenge into a mission to help others fix their own gut health issues.

Liz shares how her struggles with digestive issues led her to create her ‘Poop Queen’ Instagram account and start initiatives like the 12 Days of Constipation Challenge during the holidays. We discuss the importance of diet diversity for gut health and how our gut microbiome impacts overall health, including the immune system and nutrient absorption.

We share some practical tips on how to easily incorporate diverse foods into your diet, aiming to break the monotony of eating the same 12-15 foods repeatedly. We also explore how our gut health can influence and be influenced by stress and our nervous system responses to it.

Nervous system regulation is crucial for optimal gut health, and we share some stories of clients who have undergone life-changing transformations by addressing their stress and nervous system health alongside dietary changes. If you’re dealing with gut issues, chronic constipation, or chronic stress, or you’re frustrated with traditional medicine to get the answers you need and want to learn how to better support your overall health, this episode is packed with a ton of information to help you get started on your journey.
