One of the biggest mistakes I see in my space is thinking that you’re NOT constipated because you go to the bathroom every day.

And sure… you don’t NEED to p**p every day.

You also don’t NEED to eat every day—or brush your teeth, for that matter.

(But you do those things so that you feel good in your body, and don’t get cavities and lose all your teeth. Right?)

So, why are you settling for mediocre bowel movements?

Think of it like garbage day. If you forget to put out the trash, it doesn’t magically disappear. The garbage piles up, starts to smell, and attracts critters.

Your gut is no different.

If you’re eating 2–3 meals a day, but not fully emptying, all that “trash” is backing up inside you — and it’s the reason you’re dealing with gas, bloating, nausea, and food reactions that don’t make any sense.

So, how do you take out the “trash”?

Well, when you’re not completely emptying, this means your gut rhythm is off — and that rhythm is what keeps your digestion smooth and predictable.

So, you need to re-establish that rhythm.

💡 One way of doing this is through BOWEL RETRAINING.

By teaching your gut to go at the same time every day, you rebuild its natural rhythm and set yourself up for complete, effortless p**ps.

And I’ve got a guide that walks you through EXACTLY how to do it — in just 5 minutes a day.

✨ 5 simple steps → more predictable p**ps → less bloating, gas, and food sensitivities.

There’s a reason “more fiber” ain’t working the way everyone says it should…

✨ The truth: Fiber is POWERFUL—when you know how to use it STRATEGICALLY.

Want the full breakdown? I wrote a blog that explains the surprising reason your high-fiber diet isn’t helping your constipation (and what to do instead).

How to fix the 3 mistakes that sabotage your morning p**p 👇

✨ Fix # 1: Give yourself time in the morning
Set your alarm 15–20 minutes earlier. Your body needs to be in a relaxed state to go to the bathroom.

Just like your muscles get tense when you’re stressed, the same thing happens in your gut. And, a tense gut won’t release. 💩🚽

When you give yourself extra time in the morning, your gut also has time to wake up and do it’s thang’.

✨ Fix # 2: Change your toilet posture

This fix is easy! All you need to do is get your knees above your hips. Use a small stool or Squatty Potty under your feet. This unkinks the muscle around your re**um so everything flows out with less straining.

Like unkinking the garden so water can flow freely 😉

✨ Fix # 3: Stop eating before bed

Finish dinner 2–3 hours before bed. If you must eat close to bedtime, have a smaller meal and avoid high-fat foods that slow digestion even more.

For best results, give your gut a 12-hour overnight rest from eating, so you wake up ready to go 💩 instead of feeling sluggish and constipated.

💡 Once I made these simple fixes, and practiced them CONSISTENTLY, my mornings (and my p**ps) completely changed.

When your doctor tells you “just eat more fiber and drink more water,” you’ve been given half the story.

And I get it — it sounds logical.

Fiber keeps things moving, water keeps things hydrated… so more SHOULD mean smooth digestion and easier p**ps.

Except if this was the case, you wouldn’t be reading this post, am I right?

If you’ve been:

🥦 eating veggies, overnight oats, and chia pudding

💧 drinking 2L of water every day before lunch

… but you’re still backed up, bloated, and wondering what you’re doing wrong — it’s not your fault.

Here’s why fiber and water isn’t working like it’s supposed to…

Fiber and water are like putting gas in your car — they keep things moving once the engine is running.

But if you never turn the key in the ignition, it doesn’t matter how much fuel is in the tank… You’re not going anywhere. 🚗

And that’s exactly what’s missing for most women strugg!ing with constipation — the “ignition.”

The part that tells your gut it’s time to go. 🚗💨

And that “ignition” I’m talking about?

There’s a name for it — it’s called BOWEL RETRAINING.

It’s one of the most overlooked tools for constipation — and once you understand the steps, you can train your gut to p**p every morning, like clockwork. 💩🚗💨

And, that’s exactly what I’m teaching THIS weekend inside my [FREE] live training:

👉 How to Train Your Gut to P**p Every Morning in 5 Simple Steps — without changing your diet — in 5 minutes a day!

Inside this training, you’ll finally discover:

What NOT to do when you’re constipated.

Step 1: Don’t panic.
Step 2: Read the caption.

✨ Need to go but can’t? Here’s what NOT to do…
First things first… Do NOT panic!

Constipation happens to everyone.

Knowing how to deal with it can mean the difference between finishing your morning business in minutes 🚽🧻 vs. spending the entire morning striking a plea bargain with your gut 🫠

Here’s what NOT to do if it’s been 2+ days since you p**ped…

1. Do NOT take a huge dose of laxatives to “clear things out”. This just increases your chance of gas, bloating, cramping, and urgent diarrhea.

2. Do NOT wait 2+ days before taking action.

The longer stool sits in your colon, the harder and drier it gets. If it’s been more than 24-36hrs, don’t be afraid to take a gentle motility agent, like Restoralax or magnesium citrate.

(Motility agents get your gut moving again.)

3. Do NOT expect instant results.

Taking a motility agent once and expecting instant results is like going to the gym once and expecting to lose 5 lbs right away.

If you’ve been backed-up for days, it might take 2—4 days to see results.

And 1-2 Cheetoh-sized p**ps don’t count. Keep taking it until you get a full type 4 bowel movement. (Like a smooth snake 🐍)

✨ NOTE: If constipation’s a regular thing, you may need to stay on a motility agent while you build the habits that keep you regular without it.

4. Do NOT forget to download my FREE Constipation Flare Guide.

In it, you’ll learn 5 proven strategies to go from bloated + constipated 👉 to regular + in control in 72 hrs or less.

This guide is for you if…

👉 It’s been more than 3 months, and you haven’t had a straight week of daily BMs…

👉 You wake up bloated, spend way too long in the bathroom—barely seeing any results— and end up feeling defeated before your day even starts…

👉 Every time you finally have a "good bathroom day," you're right back to being constipated within 48 hours…

In less than 3 days, you can have:

🤩 More predictable p**ps + less bloat

❌ without changing your diet ❌

I’m baaaaaack!!!

Hey friend, I’m Coralie 👋 (in case you’re new here—or forgot who’s behind this account because I basically ghosted you all summer 😅).

I’m a Registered Nurse turned Constipation Nutrition Coach who helps women go from constipated + bloated to 👉 confident + regular

(without extreme diets, endless supplements, or spending half your morning in the bathroom)

And here are a few of my favourite things for amazing morning p**ps (so you can start your day with ease, enjoy more foods you love, and stop feeling bloated and stuck).

👉 Drink 2-3 cups of warm water when you wake up → hydrates you after sleeping all night

👉 Eat 2 kiwis a day → science-backed, high in fiber, and effective for getting things moving when eaten regularly

👉 Use a squatty-potty → puts your body in the natural position for easier p**ps

👉 Take 5 deep belly breaths before meals → signals “rest and digest” so your gut can actually do its job

👉 Go for a 10–15 min walk after meals → body movement encourages gut motility

👉 Chew your food thoroughly → gives your gut a head start on digesting so things don’t slow down later

👉 Make meals a digital-free zone → less distraction = better chewing, better digestion

👉 Do a 30-second body scan during the day → lowers hidden tension that slows motility

These are just a few of my favorite “little things” that make a big difference for your gut.

Which one will you try today? 👀

How It All Started & How I Can Help You

Growing up with a father who had a chronic disability and with family members who also suffered from chronic disease, I found myself drawn to a career path in healthcare early on in my life. I’ve been a registered nurse for over 10 years, and after being witness to the effects of chronic disease and the limits of Western medicine in treating illness, I felt this inner calling... a knowing within me that there had to be more than just Band-aid solutions that seem to be offered.

Why can’t we get to the root cause of peoples’ suffering?

Where is the focus on preventive health in modern day medicine?

This is when I started digging deeper and learning more about holistic approaches to health. Through my own experience in working with a naturopath, I became sold on the idea of food as medicine. Shortly after this experience, I enrolled in a holistic nutrition program and studied for 3 years to obtain my diploma.

Through my education and my own personal experience, I have learned that health begins with our digestive system. They say, “You are what you eat,” but in all reality, it is, “You are what you assimilate.” Digestive disturbances and an inability to digest our food properly can lead to a whole host of problems in the body, from the simpler discomforts of abdominal gas and bloating, reduced energy, and low mood, to more serious inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, like fibromyalgia, arthritis, chronic fatigue, and even cancer. It all begins in the gut!

While I am trained in a variety of different health issues, my passion is for helping those with digestive complaints/disorders, such as gas/bloating, chronic constipation, acid reflux, IBS, Crohn’s disease, and colitis.

My role is not to treat disease, but it is one of even greater importance. My goal is to work with you, to guide you, and to educate you. My goal is to get to the root cause of your concerns; and teach you how to make smarter, empowered, healthier choices that lead to an overall improvement in your health and well-being.

My story begins with your health and what the change you want to see in your life. I will meet you wherever you are at on your journey, and we will work in collaboration to help you meet your health and wellness goals through nutrition and positive lifestyle changes.
