Here’s a science-based gist of those bullet points, boiled down to the key mechanisms:
Why Being “Backed Up” Affects Your Mood
-
Gut–Brain Connection: The gut and brain talk through the vagus nerve. If your colon is sluggish, the signals sent can worsen mood.
-
Toxin Buildup: Stool left sitting in the colon can ferment, releasing byproducts that re-enter the bloodstream and influence brain chemistry.
-
Serotonin Supply: Around 90% of serotonin, a key mood stabilizer, is produced in the gut. Constipation disrupts this, making irritability more likely.
Why You Feel Good After Pooping
-
Neurotransmitter Release: Bowel movements can trigger endorphins, giving a small natural "high."
-
Nerve Stimulation: Both the vagus nerve (relaxation) and pudendal nerve (pelvic relief/pleasure signals) are activated.
-
Physical Relief: Emptying the colon reduces internal pressure and discomfort, instantly lowering stress.
Daily Pooping = Daily Mood Regulation
-
Regular elimination prevents toxin buildup and keeps serotonin levels balanced.
-
Without it, the body feels stressed, everyday annoyances feel heavier, and mood can tank.
-
With it, life feels smoother—literally and emotionally.
👉 In short: Constipation isn’t just a gut problem—it’s a brain and mood problem. A “good poop” resets both.
Would you like me to reframe this into a punchy, social-media–style explainer (like a carousel post or TikTok script), or keep it more science-nerd deep dive style?
