How Constipation Overloads Your Liver and Ruins Your Sleep, And How to Heal with Real Food
In this episode, Alyssa unpacks a connection that many people don’t realize is at the heart of their gut health struggles: the tight interplay between constipation, liver overload, and sleep disruption.
If you wake up between 1–3 AM, feel sluggish, bloated, or totally backed up the next day, this episode is for you. In this episode, Alyssa explains the powerful (and often overlooked) link between constipation, liver stress, and sleep disruption, and how real food and simple rituals can help break the cycle.
What you’ll learn in this video:
- Why constipation isn’t just a digestion issue and why it can overload your liver, disrupt detox, and mess with your sleep.
- How poorly timed or “healthy-but-not-helpful” meals (like super high fiber or too-light dinners) make things worse.
- The three-part framework Alyssa calls Relax, Release, Replenish, and how to eat to relax your nervous system, gently release waste, and replenish vital nutrients.
- Simple, doable evening meal and snack ideas to support motility, liver detox, and stable blood sugar overnight.
- A no-supplement-needed food strategy that can help your body reset over time.
