The Constipation Confidence Trainings

Finally, a clear path to daily, predictable bowel movements

The Constipation Confidence Trainings are a self-paced

4 part video series designed to help you understand why you've been "stuck" with your constipation and give you the EXACT tools needed for long-term relief. 


Clarity. Nuance. Strategy. 

Relief is the result. 


Instant access. Watch at your own pace.

You have done "all the right things"

and yet you are still constipated...

You’ve likely:

Tried more fibre, more water, and more supplements
Cut out gluten, dairy, coffee, sugar, or entire food groups
Cycled through cleanses, probiotics, or SIBO protocols
Been told everything looks "normal" or just take a laxative

And yet you still:

Feel bloated, heavy, or backed up most days
Second guess every food choice
Wonder if something important is being missed

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.

Meet Your Guide

Dr. Rachael Lovink, ND
Constipation 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.
