Yeah, I think that's a really keep that friend.
There's a statistic that has been floating around for a few years now, which is that 40% of Americans, their daily lives are disrupted by their bowel movements.
After we potty train, for the most part, everyone just shuts the door, locks it, and nobody really knows what anyone else is doing there behind closed doors.
And nobody's checking in from time to time.
Not really your doctor, not your parents, certainly not your friends.
Nobody's asking like, hey, do you like squat down when you go?
Like nobody's checking in on these kinds of like very fundamental questions.
People seem to, like, cling to that so fiercely in America.
And, you know, like I said, if you're meeting your fiber goals, you're probably going to poop more often than that.
You don't have to worry about, you know, being irregular because it's more than once a day.
And similarly, if you poop, if you take a day off from pooping every other day...
I'm not worried about it either.
So just remember, it's really not about frequency.
It's about how you feel and whether it's disrupting your daily life that seems to matter most to me.
