EP 04: The Truth About Poop: Hormones, Stress, Exercise, Diet and Figuring Out What's Normal with Gut Health RD Erin Kenney

Is your poop normal? Your hormones, mental health, diet and exercise all play a role in your gut health including constipation, diarrhea, inflammation and other common digestive issues. Nutrition Rewired Founder Erin Kenney gets into the need to know specifics of the gut brain and gut hormone connection through different phases of motherhood with Helene on today’s episode.

Why do we get constipated during pregnancy and menopause? What causes loose poops on your period? Could your acne be connected to your constipation? You may chuckle when you hear Erin describe the size of a healthy bowel movement, but it’s one of those taboo topics that we are totally going to dig into here!

Erin shares her story of growing up with a parent with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder, being in a toxic relationship, abusing stimulants, body image issues and how it all affected her digestive health and led her down the path of wanting to help others with gut healing. She also shares her preconception and TTC journey of fertility focused weight gain including having to buy a larger wedding dress and tracking ovulation with body basal temperature and cervical mucus.

Erin goes over so many actionable lifestyle, nutrition and supplement tips to consider when healing digestive issues. Forget the TMI label and discover what you can do to prioritize your gut health in whatever season of motherhood you’re in!
