And you said in the book that because a lot of us in the Western world, you know, have these seat toilets and we've been conditioning our body and our pelvic floor.

Yeah.

And it's actually not good for us.

Is that right?

So I think we should circle back to this first P that you mentioned, pliability.

And I think you're right that like when people do stop to think about how to poop better, they think of fiber to soften the stool.

So how much fiber should I or everybody be getting each day?

And what does that translate to for food?

Like what's your favorite fiber filled food?

But it's even better if you eat the skin is what you're telling me.

Fair, fair.

Okay, and it would help counteract my anxiety, which you write can also harm people's ability to go number two, which leads me to this last question.

Can we think away some of our gut problems?

Oh, what a calming way to end this show, Tricia.

I didn't expect that.

Thank you so much for coming on our show and talking to us about fiber and the merits of squatting and hopefully helping all of our listeners figure out how to poop even better.

Thank you.

If you liked this episode, do us a favor and share it with the first friend you thought of when you heard you were pooping all wrong.

It really helps our show and hopefully it'll help them too.
