IS💩You’re constipated… and Miralax, magnesium, and Metamucil don’t do a thing?
💩That’s not “normal constipation.” That’s your body waving a giant red flag.
When the basics don’t work, it almost always means one thing:
👉 You’re dealing with a root-cause issue — not a fiber problem.
In my practice, these are the patterns I see over and over in clients who feel backed up, bloated, puffy, and stuck:
• Slowed motility from stress or vagus nerve dysfunction
• Methane SIBO or other hidden infections
• Hormone shifts (thyroid, cortisol, progesterone)
• Electrolytes out of balance, so magnesium doesn’t actually work
• Pelvic floor dysfunction
• Inflammation or histamine overload freezing the gut
• Gut lining + microbiome issues that stool softeners can’t solve
Here’s the good news:
💥 Once we identify what’s actually driving your constipation, things finally start moving.
Literally.
If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of trying supplements, Googling symptoms, or being told “drink more water,” you don’t have to keep guessing.
This is exactly the work we do at ISN — we investigate, test, and create a plan that gets your gut working again.
If constipation is affecting your comfort, energy, or daily life, it’s fixable — you just need the right roadmap.
