How To Alleviate Constipation And Heal Your Gut

This episode is brought to you by ARMRA, ButcherBox, and AG1. 
Gut health is not just about feeling your best. Your gut is the
epicenter of your body and governs immune function, hormones, and
nutrient absorption. Yet a whopping 74 percent of Americans claim
they live with daily digestive discomfort, including suffering from
constipation, which isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s a sign that
something is wrong in the gut. In today’s episode, I talk with Dhru
Purohit, Dr. George Papanicolaou, and Dr. Mark Pimentel about the
root causes of constipation problems and how to feel better and
rebalance your gut. Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial
entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry. His
