About this episode

There are two types of people when it come to this topic...

1) Those who brag about their poop

2) And those who we question if they even do it. 

 

Whether you fall on the spectrum, the reality is... we all poop. 

My filter with this topic was originally weathered by becoming a dietitian, but then any filter that remained was obliterated when I had two boys. My boys think poop and farts are the most hilarious thing and the poop report is not only a primary topic of jokes in my house, it is also the typical coloring page of choice (that stinking poop emoji) and now it is common dinner conversation.  #gross  

Being confident in your body and learning to steward your life vessel well is something that has many layers. 

 

There is the mental health layer. This involves the underlying belief about your body and its purpose.

There is the nutrition science layer. 

Then there is the biofeedback layer— learning to connect the physical feelings of our body to our actions WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. And your bowel movements fall under this category. 

In today's episode we are literally learning about how and why we need to get our crap together. Your gut health impacts your immune system, how you digest food, your mental health, and ultimately your nutrition status. Getting this in order can change how your body takes in food and responds to exercise.

Cheers and happy 💩!
