It might not be the most comfortable topic, but your stool is one of the most powerful and overlooked windows into your health. In fact, long before symptoms show up elsewhere in your body, your gut is already sending you signals… and they often show up in the toilet. The problem is, most people don’t know what they’re looking at—or what it means. In this episode, I’m breaking down everything you were never taught about your bowel movements, so you can finally understand what your body is trying to tell you… and what to do about it. On this episode, you’ll learn:  The surprising science behind what poop really is (1:50) What your stool should actually look like if your gut is healthy (4:44) Why floating poop isn’t random, and what it could be telling you about digestion (6:05) How your gut bacteria influence your bowel movements—and why you actually want the right bacteria living inside you (7:12) The hidden habits and everyday foods that may be quietly damaging your gut (and showing up in your stool) (10:00) All about the two types of fiber — and which one most people are missing (13:26) How often you should really be going to the bathroom (and the exact foods that help keep things moving) (18:45) The real reasons behind constipation and diarrhea—and what your body is trying to tell you when it happens (23:00) For full show notes and episode transcript: https://drgundry.com/what-your-poop-says-about-your-health/ Thank you to our sponsors!
