Summary
Share this with someone who’s rebuilding their health after cancer. Chronic constipation can be a signal that something deeper is going on. In this conversation, I sit down with Liz Roman, a Board Certified Functional Nutritional Practitioner and Master Restorative Wellness Practitioner, to unpack why gut health after cancer treatment is foundational to true healing. As the founder and co-owner of FITMOM and co-host of a Top 100 alternative health podcast, Liz has dedicated her work to uncovering the root causes behind digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune challenges, and metabolic issues. We walk through how chronic constipation can signal deeper dysfunction, why digestion should be a silent event, and how backed-up detox pathways affect everything from brain fog to weight retention. Liz shares her personal journey with Hashimoto’s, yeast overgrowth, mold toxicity, and years of feeling dismissed before finding answers through functional medicine for gut health. If you are navigating cancer recovery and prevention, hormonal shifts, or autoimmune symptoms, this conversation offers a clearer understanding of how digestive health connects to the rest of the body and where to begin rebuilding.
