Constipation is one of the most common digestive complaints, yet most people don’t really understand what’s causing it. Is it low fiber? Not enough water? Stress? Or something more serious?

In this episode, with Guest Dr Carmen Fong, Colorectal Surgeon, doctors break down what constipation actually means, how often you should be having a bowel movement, and what’s normal versus a red flag. We explain the science behind slow digestion, stool consistency, and why some “healthy” habits might not be helping as much as you think.

You’ll learn:
- How often you should actually be pooping
- The most common causes of constipation
- How fiber, hydration, and movement affect your gut
- The difference between occasional and chronic constipation
- When constipation could signal something more serious
- Simple, doctor-approved ways to improve bowel regularity

If you’ve ever wondered whether your digestion is normal or if you should be concerned, this episode gives you clear, science-based answers without the myths.
