S6: EP 3: Burnout & The Midlife Bloat - Constipation Cures Part II
Fri Aug 22 2025
Are you a midlife woman who has checked all the boxes—career, family, caregiving, responsibilities—yet now your body feels like it’s betraying you?
Constipation, bloating, brain fog, restless 3 a.m. wakeups, constant infections… no amount of water, fiber, or probiotics or laxatives seems to help.
In this episode of the Fix Your Gut Podcast, we dive into the hidden connection between stress, burnout, and your digestion—and why your gut struggles when your nervous system is stuck in survival mode. You’ll learn:
How stress hormones slow down digestion, trigger bloating, and weaken your gut microbiome
Why midlife sleep struggles are so common (and why that nightly glass of wine may actually be sabotaging your rest and your mood)
Simple, realistic shifts that support better digestion—without diets, detoxes, or perfectionism
The role of boundaries, asking for help, and making space for yourself in restoring gut health and energy
How the 4R Functional Medicine Protocol can help reset your microbiome so you can tolerate more foods, reduce bloating, and finally feel like yourself again
Healing your gut in midlife isn’t about willpower or doing more —it’s about releasing what’s weighing you down and giving your body the rest, nourishment, and care it needs.
And if you’re ready for daily support, gut-friendly meal inspiration, and a community of women who get it, join us inside The Healing Grove—my new support group in the Fix Your Gut App. Together we’ll focus on feeling lighter, calmer, and energized—without extremes.
Gut healing that doesn't suck!
