If bowel movements aren’t happening properly, detox is going to be compromised. End of sentence. Full stop. Period.
A big chunk of what the body is trying to clear, hormones, toxins, metabolic waste etc, gets processed by the liver and pushed into the gut for elimination. If transit is slow, incomplete, or irregular, that load doesn’t leave efficiently. It sits, gets acted on by bacteria, and a portion of it can be reabsorbed back into circulation.
This is something I see all the time in clinic. People are doing the right things but bowel function hasn’t been properly addressed, so they stay stuck.
In practice, I’ll usually come back to the basics here. Motility, fibre (the right type, not just more), bile flow, hydration, get that moving well and a lot of things start to shift without needing to throw the kitchen sink at it.
