In this episode of *The Dietitian Frequency*, we tackle a common yet often overlooked issue: constipation. From a uniquely South African perspective, we explore how traditional diets, lifestyle habits, and local food choices impact digestive health. We break down the role of fibre in keeping things regular, the proper use of laxatives, and whether colon cleansers really live up to their hype. Tune in to hear expert dietitian advice on natural, food-based solutions and when it's time to seek medical help. Get ready to understand your gut health like never before!

Welcome back to the dietitian frequency! We know we have taken quite the hiatus - but we are back and are very much excited to be posting consistently! New episodes will drop Mondays, biweekly. Welcome to the dietitian frequency!

We are so excited to be back for yet another season! What you can expect in season two is a whole lot more of us! We have a variety of different topics planned for this season, but we would love your input! Please share with us the topics you would like to hear about on the podcast. Now lets talk about goal setting! The main challenge with goal setting is that we tend to set goals that are not specific, are unrealistic and tend to have no direction. This causes certain goals to be left by the wayside within the first few months of the year. The challenge with unrealistic goals is that they come with a lot of guilt when not achieved within the short time frame we often associate with them. One place to start is being more realistic. Instead of trying to cut out certain things in your diet to lose weight, or to stop drinking, or exercise 7 day a week, try to see what you can add into your lifestyle and your body will thank you for it. Tune in to this week's episode to find out more about how to set more sustainable goals. We will also be introducing a new segment called The Nutrition Nugget, where we share a hot take or discuss a topic based on what you would like to hear. Please feel free to let us know what you would like us to discuss on the nutrition nugget of the week via our socials. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thedietitianfrequency/message
