“Chronic constipation. What do I do?”

Listen to the answer0:00 / 1:10

Dr. Martin, in his own words, from The Doctor Is In. Episode 1701, 1:10.

A listener asked, and Dr. Martin answered on episode 1701:

Drink coffee. The best fiber in the world is coffee, okay? The best fiber in the world is coffee. Get on probiotics, especially a broad spectrum probiotic. Very, very helpful, constipation. That can be very helpful. I'm not big on loading up with fiber. I don't like that. So, you know, if you, like, I like bone broth. Bone broth can be very, very good because of its L-glutamine factor and regenerating the gut. And look, you gotta always look, like if it's chronic constipation, usually the thyroid's not functioning properly. Get on our thyroid formula, stimulate that thyroid gland, because that has a big effect on peristalsis, the movement of the feces in the bowel. Thyroid. And drink water, H2O. A lot of people dehydrated, they just don't drink enough water, okay?
