The Constipation Confidence Trainings
Finally, a clear path to daily, predictable bowel movements
A 4-part video training that helps you finally understand what's actually driving your constipation, and gives you a clear, step-by-step plan for lasting relief.
Instant access.
Watch at your own pace.
You have done "all the right things"
and yet you are still constipated...
You’ve likely:
And yet you still:
You’re not asking for perfection.
You just want bowel movements that are predictable, comfortable, and reliable so digestion stops running your life.
It shouldn’t be this hard to get clear, trustworthy guidance for something this common.
Why Most Constipation Advice Falls Short
For many people, chronic constipation isn’t a fibre or food problem.
It’s a Disorder of Gut–Brain Interaction.
That means communication between the gut, brain, microbiota and pelvic floor is disrupted.
When that signalling is off:
>Motility slows
>Sensations in the gut can become amplified
>Food reactions start to feel unpredictable
>And BM's can start to feel incomplete, despite going daily
This is why one-off fixes only go so far.
They target symptoms, not the system driving them.
These trainings will equip you with the knowledge AND tools to change that- for good!

Dr. Rachael Lovink, ND
Your Gut Health Strategist
I’m a Naturopathic Doctor in Victoria, BC, with a focused practice in chronic constipation and other Disorders of Gut–Brain Interaction.
My work blends conventional and Naturopathic medicine- bridging the gap between standard medical care and the nuanced, individualized support people with gut issues truly need. I believe evidence-based medicine works best when paired with the time, nuance, individualization and education to apply it properly.
I’ve lived through chronic constipation and bloating myself. I know how isolating and frustrating it can feel when you’re doing “everything right” but still don’t have the answers or relief that lasts. That experience shapes how I practice today: with a deep passion for evidence-based care- delivered with the context, nuance, and support most people have been missing.
Outside of my work, I’m a mom (to a dog & toddler), forest lover, a big believer in morning routines, and someone who understands how much better life feels when your gut works with you, not against you.
Common Questions
Is this covered by insurance?
Possibly. Because this training is delivered by a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, some extended health insurance plans may reimburse a portion of the cost under naturopathic services. Coverage varies by provider and plan, so check with your insurance company for confirmation before registering.
Do I need to have a diagnosis to benefit?
No, you don’t need a formal diagnosis. This training helps what questions you need to ask your primary care provider to clarify your diagnosis. We will also cover what are the common functional causes of chronic constipation if you've been told "everything looks normal" by your doctor.
Will this help if I have IBS?
Yes. IBS-C is one of the sub-types of primary (functional) constipation. We go over key strategies to help with gut-brain communication.
Will you tell me exactly what to take?
No. These sessions are educational only & are not considered 1:1 care. However, I’ll teach you how & when to use certain treatments & when to discuss more advanced options (prescriptions or further testing) in more detail with your provider.
I’ve tried everything. Why would this be different?
Because this time, you’ll finally learn how to apply the right strategies- with the right timing, context, and nuance. Most people have only ever been given fragments or focused on things that don’t truly move the needle. Here, you’ll understand how to build on the foundations you already know, using the right tools for your specific situation and the confidence to apply them with consistency.
Will this help if I'm already on laxatives or medication for motility?
Yes. You’ll learn how to use them more effectively as part of a larger plan.
How much time will this take each week?
There are 4 videos & each session is 60 minutes. Implementation steps are designed to fit into daily life/routines. You can go at your own pace.
