Did You Know?
You should be having one soft, full bowel movement daily. Anything less is constipation.
If you have untreated constipation, you're setting yourself up for gut inflammation, cancer risk, and poor nutrient absorption.
The mainstream medicine approach to constipation is to move the goalpost — "so long as your stomach doesn't hurt, having a bowel movement every other day is fine" — or to use medications that shouldn't be used long term, like Miralax.

And each of those issues has a cause and a fix.
The Atma Approach to chronic constipation is to help the body get back to its natural processes. Our team of certified physicians works with you to find out what's at the root of the problem and put your body back in charge. We use natural approaches to get to the real questions: Why is there not enough fluid in the bowel? Why is this person not tolerating fiber? Why are the nerves not signaling correctly?
