A Simple Remedy for Summertime Travel and Constipation
It’s been a month since our last newsletter, as our team has been enjoying some much needed fun in the sun. Along with summer travel often comes changes in eating and drinking habits. You may have noticed how going off of your normal diet affects your bowel health, typically in the form of constipation. In this issue we want to dedicate supporting you and your bowel health--and help get things moving again!
First things first – what does it mean to be constipated? Get your learning started in our intro article “Chronic Constipation: The Basics” then head on over to “How to Have Your Best Poop Ever”.
Are you better with videos? Take a look at my viral video on Instagram on the right way to help stimulate your bowel movements (and leave a comment about your thoughts on the bodysuit). Make sure to share with all your traveling friends so they can keep their routines intact, too!
We also have EXCITING news to share with our newsletter subscribers first. We will be relocating our Montrose office to Pasadena in a few short weeks. For our patients, we’ll contact you prior to your appointment to provide you with an update. And for those of you that like renovation shows, these pictures of the “Pasadena office in the making” are for you! We are so happy to bring our world-class and innovative pelvic, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause and orthopedic support services to Pasadena! Contact our office to schedule your visit in Pasadena or any of our other LA office locations to get back on the path to better health.
As always thank you so much for being a subscriber to our newsletter, and remember that you can also stay in touch by following us on InstaGram at @feminapt and @dr.heatherjeffcoat.
That's it for now, see you next week!

Travel, inactivity, illness, and certain over the counter medications taken “as needed” commonly result in short-term or acute constipation. Constipation lasting longer than three months is considered chronic constipation. Chronic constipation should be treated by a doctor to prevent health complications.
Clear communication is essential to working with doctors, but the general public often has only a rudimentary understanding of medical terms - including constipation. There is often a gap between the physician and the patient’s perception of constipation which can lead to confusion.
