Signals From the Body

Loose stools can sometimes be a sign that your body is working to clear itself out, while constipation often points to deeper health issues. What’s surprising is how many people don’t recognize constipation as a problem at all. In fact, studies show that a large percentage of women struggle with it, and ignoring it can lead to serious consequences.

Our bodies are designed to flush out toxins through natural elimination. When this process doesn’t run smoothly, those toxins build up inside and can become the root of illness.

Constipation and diarrhea are both important signals from your body. Pay attention to how your stomach feels—whether it’s tense, bloated, or tender when pressed. It’s worth checking in with yourself from time to time. Frequent diarrhea can be troublesome, and constipation should never be ignored. Start with the basics: drink plenty of clean water and give your body the support it needs.
