What Helps Constipation During Perimenopause?How Juicing Can Bring Natural Relief
If you’re in your 40s or 50s and suddenly struggling with bloating, sluggish digestion, or painful constipation, you’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it. During perimenopause and menopause, hormone fluctuations can affect everything from your sleep and mood to your gut.
Constipation is one of those quiet symptoms that doesn’t get talked about enough—but it’s one of the most common. As estrogen and progesterone drop, your digestion slows down. You may feel backed up, uncomfortable, or even anxious from the inside out.
The good news? You can support your body naturally, and juicing is one of the fastest and most effective ways to do it.
👉 If you're ready to reset your digestion and reduce inflammation from the inside out, grab my Ultimate Juicing Bundle. It’s packed with gut-healing, anti-inflammatory juice recipes designed to help women in midlife feel better in their bodies—naturally.
💩 Why Does Constipation Get Worse During Perimenopause?
You may have been regular your whole life… until now. Here’s why things change:
🔻 Declining Estrogen
Estrogen supports healthy muscle contractions in the intestines. As levels drop, so does gut motility, which means waste moves slower through your system.
🧠 Increased Stress & Cortisol
Hormonal changes can lead to anxiety, disrupted sleep, and more stress—spiking cortisol, which can wreak havoc on digestion.
😴 Slower Metabolism
Everything slows down during perimenopause: your thyroid, your metabolism, and yes, your elimination.
🍽️ Changing Diet & Less Fiber
If your appetite has shifted or you’re reaching for quick comfort foods, you may be getting less fiber and hydration—both essential for smooth digestion.
🥤 How Juicing Helps with Constipation in Perimenopause
Juicing works fast because it delivers hydration, fiber-like nutrients, and digestive enzymes in an easy-to-absorb form—without overwhelming your system.
Here’s how it helps:
High Water Content – Softens stools and keeps your digestive system moving
Natural Enzymes – From raw fruits and veggies, support digestion and nutrient absorption
Anti-Inflammatory Effects – Calm the gut lining and reduce bloat
Magnesium & Potassium – Help relax intestinal muscles and encourage natural elimination
Prebiotic Compounds – Feed your good gut bacteria to support long-term balance
