Paralysis Nutrition Program graduate Asa shares how she went from being constipated for decades to successfully regulating her bowel program by changing her diet. Fatimah asks Asa what dietary changes and lifestyle behaviors led to her being able to relieve her bowel issues, and they chat about how nutrition plays an integral role in quality of life with paralysis.
Highlights from the episode include:
