Constipation is when going to the toilet is hard, slow or does not feel finished. It is common, but it is not normal. Your body is telling you something is off.
At Inside Health Clinic in Oakville, we use the Deep Healing Method to find out why you are constipated. We do not guess. We look for the root cause, so we can treat the real problem and not only the symptom.
Your gut moves food along with small waves. When something slows those waves, stool sits too long and gets hard. Slow gut movement can come from low thyroid, low fluids, stress, certain foods, too little fibre, or germs out of balance. Some people also have low stomach acid or low bile, so food is not broken down well. Tight nerves in the upper back and neck can also affect how the gut works.
The reason is different for each person. Taking something to make you go only covers it up. We want to know why you are stuck.
Our Deep Healing Method looks for the root cause, then fixes it in three steps.
First, we test and check. We do not guess.
We look at your thyroid, hormones and nutrients. We also look at your gut germs and how well you digest food.
Tests we may use: stool analysis, food intolerance testing, blood work and hormone testing.
Next, we take away what is in the way.
This may be a food that does not agree with you, or too many unfriendly germs in the gut. We also help your body clear out what builds up and slows the gut down.
Then we put back what is low, and we learn why it was low.
That can mean fibre, fluids, minerals or good gut germs. We also check how long you need support and watch for steady change, so the fix lasts.
For a limited time, you can start with our In-Clinic Deep Healing Assessment for $129.
