Podcast 272:
How to Fix Your “Bathroom Woes”.

digestive-problems

Last week, I spent a day reading Natural Solutions for Digestive Health by Dr. Jillian Teta and was totally BLOWN AWAY by these 3 statistics:
 
#1. Americans spend roughly $725 million annually on laxatives. (O.M.G!)


#2. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects up to 15 percent of the U.S. population, a number that is likely way below current prevalence, as only about one quarter of people with IBS symptoms seek treatment.
 
#3. 48 percent of Americans are on at least one Rx drug, many of which have one or more digestive side effect.

Yikes!
 
One of the biggest issues we have with digestion is that no one likes to talk about it. 
 
But not me, I can talk about poop all day. 🙂
 
And that’s why Dr. Teta and I got together for mind-blowing episode on WHY digestive problems are on the rise and HOW to fix them.
