Episode notes
Poop Reveals Metabolic Signals
- Stool appearance reveals metabolic and digestive issues like poor bile flow and dysbiosis.
- Floating, greasy, or foul-smelling stool often signals fat malabsorption or microbial imbalance.
Elevate Feet To Ease Elimination
- Use a squat position (feet elevated) to open the rectum and reduce straining during elimination.
- Elevating knees above hips eases pelvic floor pressure and prevents hemorrhoids and fissures.
Gut Microbiome Controls Nutrient Fate
- The gut microbiome processes nutrients and toxins, so poor digestion increases inflammation and metabolic dysfunction.
- Failing to eliminate waste leads to systemic burden and impaired healing.
