Constipation Relief Through Root-Cause Functional Medicine & Chinese Medicine

If you’re not pooping daily—or if going to the bathroom feels difficult, incomplete, or even painful—it’s time to take a closer look. Constipation isn’t just uncomfortable. It can be a sign of deeper imbalances in your gut, hormones, thyroid, or nervous system. At Connected Healing, we help you uncover why your body is holding on—and guide you toward relief that lasts.

This is for you if...

  • You’re not having a full bowel movement every day
  • You feel bloated, heavy, or uncomfortable after eating
  • You rely on laxatives, coffee, or magnesium just to go
  • You’ve been told “your labs are fine” but still feel off
  • You want to improve digestion without harsh cleanses or dependency
  • You suspect your hormones, thyroid, or stress levels are making things worse

Supporting better digestion, naturally.

Constipation isn’t just a digestive issue—it can be a hormonal, nervous system, or detoxification issue too. Through our functional medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine approach, we explore everything from thyroid function to hydration, bile flow, magnesium levels, gut microbiome, and even emotional holding patterns. Whether you’ve been stuck for days or dealing with chronic sluggish bowels, we help you understand what’s blocking your natural rhythm—and how to get things moving again.

Conventional medicine isn’t designed to find the root cause.

do any of these sound familiar?
  • Your lab results are "normal", but you struggle daily with symptoms that affect your quality of life
  • You've seen multiple doctors and are no closer to getting answers or relief
  • Your physical/mental health keeps you from living life the way you want to
  • Your doctor has told you "you'll just have to live with it"
  • You're looking for an option besides prescription medications or invasive surgery
  • You're beginning to wonder if you'll ever feel like yourself again

...you’re not alone. Most care models focus on symptoms (not systems), and they often miss the full picture and rely on
generalized protocols that don’t work for everyone.

That’s why at Connected Healing we do things differently

We bring together the best of functional medicine, Chinese medicine and holistic health to get a full-body picture of what’s happening at a foundational level so your body's naturable abilities are restored.

Functional medicine

gives us the science using labs, data, patterns, imbalances, and deeper insight into your hormones, nutrients, thyroid, gut health, and more.

Chinese medicine

brings the wisdom by addressing the energetic patterns, organ systems, cycle observations, and subtle signs your body’s been giving you all along.

Together, these two systems allow us to see the whole you. Not just your ovaries. Not just your labs. But your stress, your digestion, your sleep, your cycle, your energy, your resilience and everything in between.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally, you should be having at least one complete, easy-to-pass bowel movement per day. Less frequent or difficult elimination can lead to toxin buildup, hormonal imbalances, and systemic symptoms.

Constipation often has multiple root causes. We go beyond fiber and hydration to explore your gut health, stress response, nervous system tone, and thyroid function to uncover what’s really going on.
