Let's go.

The Genius Life.

What's going on, everybody?

Welcome back to The Genius Life.

I'm your host, Max Lugavere, where we cut through the noise and ditch the optimization theater in favor of what actually works.

And yeah, occasionally we talk about poop.

Today's episode is one of those conversations that's equal parts wildly entertaining and surprisingly important because let's be honest, every single one of us does this, but almost nobody actually understands what's normal, what's not, and what your body might be trying to tell you.

Joining me is Dr. Trisha Pasricha.

She's a gastroenterologist, Washington Post contributor,

and author of the provocatively titled, You've Been Pooping All Wrong.

And in this conversation, we go deep on everything from what a normal bowel movement actually looks like to subtle warning signs you should never ignore to the everyday habits that might be quietly sabotaging your gut health.

We also get into some, let's call them modern curiosities from fart maxing to coffee enemas to whether your toilet setup is literally making it harder to go.

If you've ever wondered whether you're doing this whole thing right, or if your gut has been trying to get your attention, this episode is going to change the way you think about one of the most fundamental human functions.

Listen, all the way through the end, you're not going to want to miss a beat.

And as always, don't forget to share this episode with friends and loved ones that you think may benefit from it.

And if you enjoy what we do here, bringing you useful, rigorous science and a sea of nonsense, take a moment to leave a rating and review on your podcast app of choice and make sure that you're subscribed.

Now, with all that out of the way, here's episode 565.

Let's rock.
