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, our constipation treatment approach focuses on uncovering why your body is holding on, so we can address the root cause and help you find relief that lasts.
Constipation isn’t just a digestive issue. It can also be connected to your hormones, nervous system, or detoxification pathways. Our constipation treatment approach combines functional medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine to explore the bigger picture, including thyroid function, hydration, bile flow, magnesium levels, gut microbiome, and emotional holding patterns. Whether you’ve been stuck for days or dealing with chronic sluggish bowels, we help you understand what’s getting in the way of your natural rhythm and create a personalized plan 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.
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.


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 treat constipation by going beyond fiber and hydration to explore your gut health, stress response, nervous system tone, and thyroid function to uncover what’s really going on at the root-cause.
Still have questions?
We’re happy to help. Feel free to reach out or give us a call at (414) 238-4511 and our team will guide you in the right direction.


Most conventional care treats symptoms in isolation. We take a different approach and look at your body as a whole system. Whether you’re coming in for acupuncture or functional nutrition, we work to identify the patterns behind your symptoms and guide your body back to balance using time-tested modalities and modern lab insights.
If you're based in or near Milwaukee, we offer a full range of in-person services including acupuncture, cupping, guasha, microneedling, and more. These therapies can be layered into your functional medicine plan or booked on their own for support with fertility, pain, chronic stress, hormone balance, skin health and so much more!
Connected Healing is a leading integrative therapy, Chinese medicine, and functional medicine practice based in the Franklin, Wisconsin that specializes in fertility, acupuncture, women’s health and whole body, integrative care.
