About Renee, GI Nurse Practitioner & Founder of BetterBowelCo

Hi, I’m Renee, a GI nurse practitioner who helps kids, adults, and families navigate constipation and gut health with simple, realistic strategies.

I created BetterBowelCo because gut issues don’t just affect bathroom habits… they impact daily routines, school, confidence, family life, and overall wellbeing. My goal is to give you a supportive, shame-free space to learn practical gut health tools without confusion or overwhelm.


My Background

I’m a board-certified GI nurse practitioner specializing in pediatric and family digestive health. Over the years, I’ve supported thousands of patients dealing with:

  • Chronic constipation
  • Painful or infrequent bowel movements
  • Withholding behaviors
  • Slow-transit issues
  • Food-related sensitivities
  • Gut–brain connections
  • Healthy poop routines

I’m known for being straightforward, down-to-earth, and focused on solutions that work in everyday life. No extreme diets, no complicated rules, no unrealistic “gut detox” trends.

My Approach to Gut Health

I believe gut health should be simple, clear, and doable.
Here’s my philosophy:

  • Small changes create meaningful results
  • Daily routines matter more than perfection
  • Consistency beats intensity
  • Pooping shouldn’t be stressful or embarrassing
  • Families need strategies they can actually stick to

Everything I create is meant to simplify gut health, not complicate it.

Why I Started BetterBowelCo

After years of working in clinics, I realized:

  • Many families struggle silently with constipation
  • Online advice is often confusing or inaccurate
  • People need realistic, medically sound strategies
  • A supportive, trusted resource could help far more people than I can in person

That’s why I started BetterBowelCo, a place where you can find:

  • Clear constipation relief strategies
  • Daily poop routine ideas
  • Digestion tips
  • Gut-friendly food suggestions
  • Kid-specific guidance
  • Adult gut health support
  • Evidence-based information you can trust
  • Encouragement (and zero judgment)

My goal is to empower you to build better bowel habits that last.

A Bit About Me

When I’m not creating resources or talking about poop (which, let’s be honest… is often), you can usually find me:

  • Drinking iced coffee
  • Spending time with my family
  • Creating tools to help patients feel supported
  • Getting overly excited about organization
  • Enjoying quiet moments whenever I can

I’m passionate about making gut health fit into real life, not take it over.

Whether you’re here for yourself, your child, or your whole family, I’m glad you found BetterBowelCo. I hope you feel understood, supported, and encouraged to take simple steps toward better digestion.
