now it just amazes me how many people especially  in the medical profession just treat constipation  

as a symptom they do not look at the whole picture  they might just tell you it’s just a lack of fiber  

just take more fiber metamucil whatever and  fiber will stimulate the colon which will help  

you evacuate and it’s hydrating so just take some  fiber that’s it but constipation is the effect of  

incomplete digestion anywhere in your digestive  tract i mean it could be a lack of stomach acid  

because stomach acid helps you break down  protein if you’re not breaking down protein  

that can end up as undigested protein  then you have the pancreas which produces  

all these enzymes and enzymes really work in  the small intestine you have like 20 feet of  

of tubing called the small intestine which by  the way your small intestine the little villi  

actually make enzymes and also the pancreas  releases enzymes in the small intestine and that’s  

where 90 of all your digestion occurs and so that  doesn’t occur correctly guess what undigested  

food both undigested carbohydrates undigested  fats undigested protein and it ends up as a  

constipation situation then you have the liver  that makes bile salts and it’s stored by the  

gallbladder and that’s released into the small  intestine and bile salts are the detergent that  

helps break down fat to a certain level where  the enzymes in the pancreas can then take over  

and fully digest the fats but the thing  about bile is bile lubricates the colon  

bile hydrates the colon and so if you’re deficient  in bile you could very easily get constipation  

now the problem with getting too much bile as  you end up with diarrhea so you just need just  

the right amount not too much not too little so  after all this food is digested from the acid  

from the enzymes from the bile it finally ends  up into the large intestine called the colon  

this is where your friendly microbes both friendly  bacteria and friendly yeast take over and they  

start to finalize this digestive process they  will take things that you can’t digest like fiber  

and break those down they also help reabsorb the  water as well and so if you have constipation it  

could be that you need more stomach acid you  need bile salts you need enzymes or you need a  

good probiotic 16 of americans have constipation  and 30 of americans over 60 have constipation so  

it’s a big deal and i really want you to take  a look at the whole digestive process if you  

personally have constipation rather than  just one thing like adding more fiber  

and so you can get a clue on the cause of  constipation and what you need to do based on  

when it started so let’s say you started after  an antibiotic well guess what you need probiotics  

and by the way anytime you’re on an antibiotic  you should automatically take probiotics at the  

same time don’t wait till you’re done take it  at the same time you take antibiotics now let’s  

say for example you develop constipation when you  took an antacid well then just put back the acid  

betaine hydrochloride or let’s say you started  taking medications that have a side effect of  

constipation well get with your doctor and find  some alternative that doesn’t have a side effect  

of constipation or let’s say you had a history of  eating a lot of cooked foods a lot of processed  

foods and no raw foods that have enzymes well  then start eating raw foods like raw vegetables  

or let’s say there wasn’t an actual time that  it started but you don’t like vegetables you  

don’t consume a lot of vegetables an average  american consumes like a cup and a half of  

vegetables well guess what we need that fiber for  our microbes to actually live off of we also need  

the potassium and magnesium in those vegetables  to help the pumping action of your colon in fact  

when you add more potassium magnesium that does  help the bowels work correctly and a lot of times  

people instead of consuming vegetables they might  take epsom salts right which creates a laxative  

effect and then they get diarrhea also too many  high carbohydrates can interfere with the nervous  

system that controls this whole process it’s  called the enteric part of the autonomic nervous  

system so if that’s the case you need something  called benfotamine which is a type of b vitamin  

that actually will help support that issue also  frequent eating it’s the cramming of all this food  

down this pipe never letting the body properly  digest and go through its cycle it takes 36 hours  

for food to be completely processed through  your entire digestive tract so if we’re eating  

so frequently all the time we never get a  chance for your system to really clean out  

another point is stress stress activates  the fly to fight mechanism which inhibits  

the nervous system that controls the digestion  which is called the parasympathetic nervous system  

so many many times you don’t need to change  the diet you just need to fully relax you need  

to improve the parasympathetic nervous system  and i put a link down below how you should do  

that reducing your stress greatly improves your  digestion and so a couple other tips fermented  

foods are good increasing your veggies increasing  more fat which will stimulate bile production  

because if you’re on a low fat diet that can  be a reason why you don’t have enough bile  

and if you’re in the bile things  dry up and you get constipation  

also lowering your carbs already mentioned that  and then doing intermittent fasting is very very  

important all right thanks for watching hey before  you go real quick i have a course entitled how to  

bulletproof your immune system it’s a free  course i want you to take it and here’s why  

here’s you here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here avoiding
