Ashley Graham shares the super TMI reason why she gets colon cleanses so regularly

Ashley Graham is known for keeping it real on social media. Yes, even though she's an otherworldly creature - being the world's first plus-sized supermodel - she's committed to proving that she's just like us when it comes to popping pimples, having sports bra fails, and - um - getting colon cleanses, at least.

The model took to her Instagram Stories to share a behind-the-scenes video of herself before undergoing a colonic - something that she does pretty regularly.

"I always show you guys a little picture of my knees and the drain—what's that thing called? a tank—but I figured I'd have my colonic therapist explain why I get them, and why you should be getting them," she said.

"Any kind of digestive distress," her therapist, Lena, responded. "Constipation, obviously, any kind of bloating, diarrhea...any kind of digestive issues."

Ashley issued a couple of "mmhmms", and then Lena continued, "Another thing is inflammation. Whenever you have inflammation in the body, it can show up as breakouts or you can feel real puffy."

"Getting into there can help your face?" Ashley proceeded to ask. "Exactly," Lena answered. "It's very anti-inflammatory—people see skin's glowing and less puffiness in one day, all over the body too if that was the issue."

Lena then goes onto claim that colonics can help you when you're suffering from "the sniffles", the "congestion and headaches go right away," the therapist asserted.

It's important to bear in mind, however, that medical authorities aren't convinced of these benefits, as no extensive research has yet been conducted.

In related news, if you've got larger boobs, you're going to be able to relate to Ashley's recent sports bra woe, which she shared to her Instagram Stories yesterday.

During a workout session with personal trainer, Kira Stokes, in New York City, Ashley can be seen nailing some ab exercises and sled-pull rows, but then it all gets a bit too real. When Kira comes to give the model some feedback on her rope skipping form, Ashley cuts her off.

"Look, let me just stop you right there," she says, huffing and puffing. "I have the wrong bra on today, jumping rope, my breasts are hitting me in the face. They hurt, they're going to be more sore than my abs."

In the next story, you can hear the trainer's take on the matter. "Here's the thing as a trainer that doesn't really have to be concerned about that, I'm seeing it and I'm understanding how much..." and then she audibly gasps and says "oh my god", when Ashley comes over to show her the redness on her chest.

"Wear the right bra, laides! This is not cute," Ashley concludes, and damn straight.
