So you've got to do all the work yourself by doing a harder and harder Valsalva.

And now you are looking at a different poop than you had 12 hours ago.

It was already going to be hard.

It's going to be way harder now.

I've seen some people who think that they're living their best life and this is how they poop every day.

And it could be normal.

Yeah, yeah.

Everyone's a little different.

But this one to me, if you were to say, oh, yeah, I do this every other day and I feel fine in between, I'd let you live your best life.

I wouldn't interrupt that.

But this one, I'd like to have a little longer conversation about.

Yeah, well, let me tell you a fun fact.

We think that we're pooping just whatever we ate

Most of your poop, they've confirmed this on electron microscopy, is your bacteria.

Ew, what?

I know.

So take a look next time you're in there and say, hello, it's your microbiome that you're pooping.

The majority of it is not what you ate.

You've absorbed all the good stuff.
