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.
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.
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.
...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.


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.
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.
