Life Kit · 5 tips to help you poop better · 11 May 2026 podcast

But if you're not looking, get in the habit of looking because only by looking are you going to be able to identify the small changes that might occur and that might signal that there's a problem or a shift.

So you have to look.

to get in that habit of knowing what's normal for you and remember you're not going to poop the exact same way every single day every single week every single month there are so many factors that change what your poop looks like it's going to be yeah the food you eat is it ultra processed is it spicy it's going to be how stressed you are that's going to change how quickly your colon moves

It's going to be whether you're traveling.

Is your circadian rhythm of your colon thrown off?

There are all these factors that change that.

And you want to get in the habit of knowing how these fluctuations in your daily life impact your bowels.

Because it's really important that when something is off, that you bring that to your doctor's attention.

And you can only do that by really getting to know your own body first.

Short Wave · Are you pooping all wrong? · 13 Apr 2026 podcast

40% of Americans report that their bowel habits disrupt their daily lives.

Isn't that a huge number?

That's like almost half of us.

There's a lot that we just don't talk about, don't know, and if we could just all of us lean in a little bit more to our physiology and know how our body is supposed to work,

then I think we could solve a lot of this problem on our own.

I grew up in a poop-positive family, and I hope I am currently raising a poop-positive family, but my dad was and is also a neurocastroenterologist, so we talked about poop all the time.

I mean, for example, a lot of people can't poop at work.

Well, a lot of us who don't have the luxury of working from home...

The urge to go is going to strike.

And, like, if you have decided that you just can't go, you're constipating yourself almost by choice.

And you're creating a big problem for yourself later.
