Constipation in Women, Detox & Colon Hydrotherapy Explained
This week, we’re talking about poop. 💩
On this episode of The Female Blueprint Podcast, I’m joined by Marina Ortega aka Marina the Poop Fairy to talk about constipation, detox, colon hydrotherapy, and why constipation has quietly become a massive women’s health issue.
According to Marina, chronic constipation affects roughly one in three people and most women don’t realize they’re constipated because they’ve been taught to normalize it, push through it, or feel embarrassed talking about it.
In this conversation, we unpack what Marina sees every day at Scottsdale Hydrotherapy:
Women who haven’t had a full bowel movement in days (or weeks).
Women who are chronically dehydrated, stressed, stuck in fight-or-flight, and wondering why their gut health feels off.
Women trying detoxes, cleanses, and supplements — without realizing their body can’t eliminate properly.
We connect constipation to gut health, detox, hydration, stress, the nervous system, and pelvic health, and explain why one of the biggest missing pieces in women’s wellness is drainage before detox.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why constipation is incredibly common in women (but not normal)
• How stress, dehydration, and the nervous system slow digestion
• What colon hydrotherapy actually is and who it can help
• Why detoxing without proper elimination can make symptoms worse
• Simple, realistic ways to support gut health and pelvic health at home
If you deal with bloating, constipation, poor digestion, pelvic floor symptoms, or feel like detoxes never work for you — this episode will help you understand why.
