Well, I think that people don't have a good framework for how to poop.
And so I think about it in terms of three things, and I call these the three Ps.
But one, I think that pliability.
And that is how basically how soft or pillowy that poop is.
More fiber.
Often, but not always, but often the issue is fiber.
And truthfully, 95% of Americans, we are not meeting our fiber goal.
So like more often than not, you need more fiber.
Propulsion is the other problem.
Propulsion refers to how your muscles are generating these contractions in your own gut to push that poop forward.
So that's the second P. And then the third mistake that can come into play is in our pelvic floor.
And I think this is the most underappreciated part of it.
Like we were often like, oh yeah, we need more water.
We need more fiber.
how many of us are asking, what is my pelvic floor doing?
And the pelvic floor is this complex set of more than a dozen muscles that kind of hold all of our internal organs together and kind of the floor of this box.
And very paradoxically, when we bear down to have a bowel movement, we're building up all of this pressure in our chest cavities, but we're asking our sphincters to relax in that critical moment.
And it's actually the
kind of counterintuitive to what the rest of our bodies are doing.
Yeah, you're exactly right.
