Gary Brecka says you should have a bowel movement within 45 minutes of waking. If you don't, it signals gut dysbiosis caused by deficiencies in zinc, magnesium, and methylfolate. He recommends taking magnesium and zinc at night and methylfolate in the morning to fix it.
If you are not having a bowel movement within 45 minutes of waking every single day, you have gut dysbiosis. You need to draw some attention to your gut because if it's not a problem today, it will be a problem in the future. What are the 3 major deficiencies that cause impaired bowel motility? Zinc, magnesium, and methylfolate. If you have a deficiency in any one of those 3, the motility of the gut is off. So I would be supplementing with magnesium and zinc at night, and I would be taking methylfolate in the morning to see if I can restore the proper pace to the gut.
