💡 Did you know your toddler’s gut can be “talking” to you?

An imbalanced gut microbiome in little ones doesn’t just show up in their p**p — it can show up everywhere:

👉 Constipation, diarrhea, or alternating between both
👉 Gas, bloating, or foul-smelling stools
👉 Constant picky eating or cravings for sugar/carbs
👉 Frequent meltdowns, restless sleep, or hyperactivity
👉 Recurring ear infections, eczema, or colds
👉 Dark under-eye circles or slow growth

When the gut is out of balance, the whole child feels it.
And here’s the thing: it’s not just “a phase” or something they’ll grow out of. It actually gets worse over time.

At WellieWay, we show families how to restore balance naturally — because when the gut thrives, the whole child thrives.

Parents — have you noticed any of these signs in your toddler?

Parents are told this is “safe” while their child’s gut is being trained to stop working on its own.

But thousands of parents have filed complaints about their child’s behavior while taking it.

That is NOT a coincidence.
Parents aren’t crazy.

I see it every single day working with families:

👉 A child on Miralax is moody, foggy, struggling, erratic and more and on top of that causing:

Electrolyte imbalances.
Further disrupted microbes.
Dependency.
Dehydration.
Abdominal pain.

👉 The same child, once their gut is restored and they’re off Miralax? NIGHT & DAY !

Constipation isn’t fixed by teaching the gut to rely on a powder. I know it’s the norm…..
It’s fixed by restoring the gut so it can work the way it was designed. ( no your doc won’t tell you this)

There is a better way.
One that doesn’t rely on pills, powders, or band-aid fixes.

One that restores gut function so kids can actually thrive.

It’s time the world listened.

And no, it’s not magnesium ❣️

Withholding and the Compounding Effect of Laxatives

Withholding in children often begins as a behavioral response — usually triggered by pain, fear, or anxiety around using the toilet. Left unaddressed, this behavior can quickly become ingrained.

In many cases, laxatives are introduced as the solution. While they may temporarily ease stool passage, they do not address the root behavior. Over time, their use can create secondary complications, including disruption of the gut microbiome.

The result is a compounding cycle:
• Persistent withholding behaviors
• Chronic constipation
• Microbial imbalance driven by ongoing laxative use

What began as a single behavioral concern evolves into a multifactorial problem that affects both physiology and psychology. Addressing one aspect in isolation — whether only the gut or only the behavior — is rarely effective. Sustainable resolution requires a comprehensive approach that targets both.

Parents need a roadmap - not a bandaid 💜

Comment READY if you’re ready for the roadmap so you can ditch the laxatives and watch your child thrive 👇🏼

Our WellieWay | Rootin’ for Poopin’: Natural Child Constipation Solutions community just hit 5,000 parents! 💚

After years of helping families with childhood constipation, I started this group 18 months ago for parents who felt completely alone. Kids were struggling, and families kept hearing "just wait it out" - advice that wasn't working.

Now 5,000 families have a place to find real, evidence-based solutions that actually help their kids feel better.

The best part? Watching parents realize they're not crazy for advocating for their child's comfort. You know your kid better than anyone.

If you're dealing with childhood constipation and feeling stuck, you're not alone. Our community is here for you.

💚 Drop a heart if this resonates with you!

THE WEEK AHEAD ✨

Happy Sunday! As we head into a new week, I wanted to remind you about our Back to School special running through August.

We're offering complimentary assessment calls (normally $25) because we know how important it is to get your child feeling their best.

Quick update: We only have a few spots remaining - these fill up incredibly fast when families realize there's a real solution available.

If you haven't yet, I strongly encourage you to watch our free education training first. It'll help you see exactly where your child is at and whether the simple strategies might be enough, or if they need more comprehensive support.

Who wants the link?

(FB doesn’t like links in post)

After watching, you'll know if you want to grab one of those remaining assessment spots.

Here's to a week of progress for your family! 💪

If the P fruits worked… no kid would still be constipated.

It drives me crazy when families are told:
“Just give them pears, prunes, peaches…”

As if that’s going to fix a gut that’s been inflamed, sluggish, and out of balance for weeks…
Months.
Years.

Yes — P fruits are fine.
But they are NOT a strategy.
They are NOT a solution.
They are NOT going to restore gut function.

What actually works?
✅ A cohesive plan.
✅ A real understanding of motility.
✅ Fixing microbial imbalance.
✅ Supporting the nervous system.
✅ Consistency — not random food hacks.

Constipation isn’t caused by a prune deficiency.
It’s a gut dysfunction issue.
And that takes a whole different level of support.

We don’t do guesswork.
We restore function.
That’s the WellieWay.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Toddlers don’t have money. They’re not driving to the store and buying themselves junk food. Adults do that.

I see far too many kids suffering because of parents choices

And listen — I’m not saying never let your child have a cookie. I believe in balance. But we can’t keep using the excuse “It’s all they’ll eat” when we’re the ones putting it in the cart.

Don’t want them eating it?
Stop buying it.

Because what we feed our kids directly shapes their gut, their behavior, their immune system, and their future health — whether we want to acknowledge it or not.

You’re not being mean by saying no to Goldfish.
You’re being a leader.
You’re being a protector.
You’re being the parent.

Let’s do better — not perfect, but better.
Their little bodies are counting on us.

She was just 4 years old.
From the time she was a baby, p**ping was a struggle.

Doctors tried everything—laxatives, routines, charts, and eventually, surgery.

By the time her family found us, she had a c-tube.
That was the only way she could go. And even that stopped working….

Her mom Courtney and I would chat here and there
And she would share what the docs were doing and saying….. no answers, no hope - they basically threw their hands up

The family was overwhelmed, discouraged, and tired of being told,
“There is nothing else we can do”

They decided to work with me and within 2 months
something incredible happened…

👉 She began p**ping on her own
👉 Her belly softened
👉 Her energy returned
👉 And she no longer needed the c-tube

Today—over a year later—this little girl is still thriving.
Pooping daily. Medication-free. And living her childhood without the burden that once consumed her family.

This story was a turning point for us too.

It’s why we expanded Rootin’ for Poopin’—because every child deserves this kind of outcome, and no parent should feel like they’ve run out of options.

Constipation might feel isolating—but you’re not alone. 💕

And change is possible—sooner than you think.

🌸 This is why we do what we do- to help your family before it gets to a point like this - we care and want to bring peace back into your home and for you to see your children thrive 💓

Courtney is not only a happy momma but also shares their story to help others 💜
