- 0:00>> Hunter Hoover: It just. It just really gets the fart factory fired up.
- 0:03You know what I'm saying? It's like, fire up the fart
- 0:06factory. It's steak Thursday.
- 0:14Welcome back to Privy.
- 0:17Privy is a podcast about
- 0:19bathrooms recorded
- 0:22from my home bathroom. I'm your host,
- 0:25Hunter Hoover, and I love
- 0:27bathrooms. Welcome back, everyone.
- 0:30Um, thank you all for being here, and Happy New
- 0:33Year. If you're listening to this, this is the first
- 0:36episode of 2025. We did
- 0:39it. We made it to another one. Uh,
- 0:42and I gotta say, full
- 0:44disclosure, this. This episode was recorded just a bit
- 0:47before the new year. But I gotta say
- 0:50it at the top of this. There's
- 0:53a lot going on. This has been a
- 0:56strange setup. So, um, normally when I set
- 0:58up for recording in my home bathroom. Here
- 1:01we are, we're back in home bathroom. It's usually pretty
- 1:04straightforward. Throw the table up, throw the computer on, get
- 1:07things set up, do my hair and
- 1:10nails. You got to get stuff looking just
- 1:13right for everybody out there. But
- 1:15today I'm in the process of setting up the
- 1:18computer, setting up the mics, getting everything square, and
- 1:21the urge hits me. The urge to purge. And that doesn't happen.
- 1:24Happen very often. And it's always awkward because
- 1:27then drop. You drop
- 1:29duff hang beef, and you're just
- 1:32staring at, like, a full computer and
- 1:35microphone and table set up right in front of you.
- 1:38And it's always a strange and surreal thing when.
- 1:41When you're staring down your podcast
- 1:44recording setup mid beef. But such is.
- 1:47Such is the way of things. But it's bitter C. You
- 1:50know, and it's. It's kind of a strange start to the year because, number
- 1:53one, um, I got a new bath mat.
- 1:55So full, uh, disclosure. I've been complaining as, you
- 1:58know, listener, you'you'll. The acute ear will know that
- 2:01for the last some time, I've been going on and on about
- 2:04how the bathmat is a crucial part of
- 2:07the bathroom experience, specifically between
- 2:10November and February. That said,
- 2:13I have been without bath mat for going
- 2:16on two or three weeks. And I
- 2:18survived. I was strong. Um, I powered through. You
- 2:21know, I'm not looking for. I'm not looking for accolades or
- 2:24medals. I just want recognition.
- 2:26But my wife has
- 2:29purchased me, like, the most
- 2:32deluxe bath mat that I
- 2:35have ever had the pleasure of being a part
- 2:38of. Uh, and it's deluxe because
- 2:40it's like memory foam. So it's like, extra
- 2:43thick. Uh, which, you know, the pea splatter
- 2:46is something that. That we'll cross that bridge when
- 2:49we get there. I'm sure, there's. I'm sure that as you
- 2:52launder it, those things can sort themselves out.
- 2:55But I'm pretty psyched about this bathmat. I'm not going
- 2:58to lie. It. It is a great new addition.
- 3:01It's a great way. New year, new me, new
- 3:04bath mat. Just don't pee on
- 3:06it. But then first,
- 3:09first, um, I mean, I mid.
- 3:12I mid dumperoo and
- 3:16I'm out of toilet paper. My wife forgot
- 3:18to replace the toilet paper. And so
- 3:21it's one of those things where it's like, it's just,
- 3:24it was just a strange bathroom experience.
- 3:27Lots of mixed emotions, you know,
- 3:30staring down the pod, staring down an
- 3:33empty toilet paper tube. There she blows.
- 3:36That's. I replaced the roll.
- 3:39But also happy about the fresh bath mat.
- 3:42So a lot, lot going on, um, by
- 3:45way of, uh, bathroom
- 3:48experiences today. As
- 3:51I noted, this is the first episode of the new
- 3:53year. And anyime that we
- 3:56ring in the new year, everybody
- 3:59is making resolutions. It's resolution
- 4:02season. People is like, it's new
- 4:05Year. We got to set goals
- 4:07and try to come up with ways that we can
- 4:10better our lives and commit to this for doing it for a full
- 4:13year. Um, and I'm here to tell you that if you wait till the new
- 4:16year to make these changes, you won't make them.
- 4:18But we've covered resolutions in the
- 4:21past and in
- 4:24that conversation we discussed, like, the role
- 4:27of fitness and how
- 4:29sometimes, you know, it can cause
- 4:32the diarrhea to really just seep down your
- 4:34leg. Uh, and you can go seek out that
- 4:37episode. If you go back one full calendar
- 4:40year, you can find, uh, I believe it's
- 4:43called runner's diarrhea. But I'm not. I cannot
- 4:45remember. And maybe now, you know,
- 4:48five days in, at the point of this episode'released're five days into
- 4:51the new year. Maybe now is a good time for
- 4:54you to be rethinking and thinking about your
- 4:56resolutions. It's not too late. You're five days late, but you're not
- 4:59too late. Maybe you want to make some resolutions this
- 5:02year. And I got to tell you, every year I tell myself
- 5:05that I'm going to read, I'm going to read more books,
- 5:08I'm going to be more conscientious and in set
- 5:11aside time to be able to read.
- 5:14And I usually start out pretty good, keep
- 5:17up on the reading, and then I get like
- 5:20three days in
- 5:23and things just fall apart.
- 5:26And I think for me, I think I need to
- 5:29be setting either a daily or a weekly reading
- 5:32goal of like, this is how much I want to read
- 5:36in uh, a week's time. So that way I have this more
- 5:39tangible goal to aim
- 5:41towards as, as I look towards doing
- 5:44more reading and keeping me on track. But people
- 5:47make all sorts of resolutions this time year
- 5:50and it's a good time also to think back
- 5:53on the resolutions that we've made in the past.
- 5:56How do we do? How did last week's or,
- 5:59uh, last year's resolutions go? Did they last a
- 6:01week? Do we need to course correct your
- 6:04resolutions this year to help you be successful
- 6:07based off of what you learned from last year?
- 6:11And on almost every list of common New
- 6:14Year's resolution, there lives something
- 6:16about reading more, something about saving
- 6:19money, about the reading
- 6:22mores me. I must confess, there's also something
- 6:26about, about exercise and,
- 6:29and I did not just start my
- 6:32year off by, by saving a lot of money.
- 6:35Dang old Mickey Mouse knows how to suck money out
- 6:37of a guy. You know what I'm saying?
- 6:40Disney prices are kind of absurd. More
- 6:43on that next episode. But good
- 6:45lord, they know how to, they know how to get your money.
- 6:48That's, that's for Dankure. Also,
- 6:51if they had a Disney level like, like
- 6:54to the, to the extent of an amusement park
- 6:57that Disney had, if they had that,
- 7:00but it was Pokemon,
- 7:03my dude, I be, I'd be like
- 7:06full blown fore alarm Pokemon
- 7:08extravaganza lining up to get into
- 7:11that. I want to wait in line
- 7:14for like 40 minutes to glad hand Pikachu
- 7:17be totally worth it. The
- 7:20Dragonite coaster. I'm practically creating this theme
- 7:22park. But yeah, we got to get that going.
- 7:25But some resolutions. Back to the resolutions
- 7:28Hunter. Some resolutions we make, uh, are
- 7:31centered around life projects or things that you want to
- 7:34accomplish. These are things that are ambitious things
- 7:36that you've been wanting to get done or to see
- 7:39these projects through and haven't, haven't done
- 7:42and set aside for me. It's to fix my fence. Dang wind.
- 7:45Blew it over, saved it with a classic pillar
- 7:48wedge it in their system. It's up,
- 7:52but it needs some attention. I'm gonna need
- 7:55to get that fixed. But there's still,
- 7:58there's all sorts. And the one we looked at
- 8:01last year was exercise. Those gym
- 8:04memberships again, they spike this time of year.
- 8:07And we discussed some of the bathroom dangers that
- 8:10exist inside the exercise
- 8:12world related to
- 8:17our bowels and how they react to
- 8:19mostly, uh, an increase in the
- 8:22amount of exercise that we're doing. But this
- 8:25year we need to hone in on another
- 8:28popular resolution and how that
- 8:31resolution interacts with
- 8:34our bowels and as a result our
- 8:36bathrooming. This week we're looking at
- 8:39dieting and weight loss.
- 8:46Gotta kick this new year in just a k
- 8:49cha
- 8:52Orange vanilla. It's just it. If
- 8:55you like many this, this
- 8:57new year are looking to revamp your
- 9:00diet as a resolution. There are no
- 9:03shortage of options in the dieting
- 9:06space and the diets in the world that one can partake
- 9:09in in order to try to go about these New Year's
- 9:12resolutions. Some popular
- 9:14diets include, uh, that people take
- 9:17up during the resolution season and beyond are, uh,
- 9:20Paleo, which if you don't know Paleo
- 9:23pretty much is, it's like high, high protein,
- 9:26high fiber, low calorie. And the
- 9:29wholetick behind paleo is like if
- 9:32paleontology, it's like,
- 9:35let's go back to eating what we ate during dinosaur
- 9:38times. Well, here's the thing. We don't live in
- 9:40dinosaur times. We have dinosaur chicken nuggets, which
- 9:43are great, but we don't live in dinosaur times.
- 9:46So I get what you're saying. But
- 9:49also, pizza is really tasty. You know what our
- 9:52ancient ancestors didn't have? Doritos,
- 9:54McDonald's. And I have a feeling the
- 9:56lower calories had a lot to do with the whole, like
- 10:00working was to earn or kill the food you were going to
- 10:02eat because food was a lot less
- 10:05readily available. I have a feeling that the amount
- 10:08of work that you exceed or
- 10:11put forth into the world to obtain the food that you're going to
- 10:14eat is drastically going to out
- 10:16outweigh the calorie intake of that food. But
- 10:19that's just me. I don't know. Uh, another
- 10:22modern popular diet is vegan.
- 10:25Now if you haven't heard, vegans don't eat anything
- 10:28that comes from animals, byproducts or otherwise. And
- 10:30there's in my brain, there's two types of
- 10:33vegans. There's two classes of vegan,
- 10:38conscientious and intentional vegans who are
- 10:40vegan and want to understand it and don't want it
- 10:43to make it an ethical thing against your
- 10:45existence every time you eat something. And these
- 10:48vegans are totally fine. These are actually like, it's
- 10:51cool, their cooking is good, some of the food is good. Big
- 10:54fan of those who choose this diet that they find
- 10:57appealing to them. But then there's this other type of
- 11:00vegan, the type that I like to call Portland
- 11:02vegan. And these are the folks that
- 11:05get triggered because you are wearing shoes
- 11:08made with adhesive derived from an animal
- 11:10byproduct. If you're
- 11:13Portland vegan, good for you. I don't care
- 11:16like and uh,
- 11:19sorry, but your, your dietary
- 11:22choices are not
- 11:25my concern. Yeah, don't be
- 11:28Portland vegan. Be cool vegan. But
- 11:31some benefits include reduced inflammation,
- 11:34joint strength and stability, weight loss, so that's good.
- 11:37Another popular diet, one that in many ways is
- 11:39representative of its kind, wherein it stands
- 11:42in for many others that are similar as the Atkins diet.
- 11:45Now the Atkins is probably one
- 11:48of the most popular of a
- 11:51type of diet called low carb diets.
- 11:54These diets focus on eating as much
- 11:57protein as you can. You just pack on the chicken.
- 11:59Chicken proteins while avoiding
- 12:03most, if not all carbs. Atkins
- 12:06and another low carb. No carb diets purport as
- 12:08lowering someone's appetite to a portion wherein they
- 12:11choose not to eat as often. Others
- 12:14have taken to an extreme form of Atkins
- 12:17which doesn't focus as heavily on plants and other
- 12:20fruits and nuts and looks at only eating
- 12:22meat. This, the carnivore
- 12:25diet is like Paleo on
- 12:28steroids. It's the opposite of vegan only
- 12:31consuming meat and animal products.
- 12:34Other diets seek to cut out a certain type of
- 12:37food or food compound or something found
- 12:40in it in order to help regulate
- 12:42digestion and give you
- 12:45some added health benefits. Sometimes people do this to
- 12:48help with allergies or intolerances.
- 12:51Some things that are often cut out in modern
- 12:54times include lactose, glucose, sugar,
- 12:57just to name a few. I could do
- 13:00these. Like sugar would be
- 13:03hard. Like that's a lifestyle, complete lifestyle. Reh
- 13:06haul. I feel like I could give up gluten
- 13:09pretty easy. There's so many gluten free
- 13:11options now that like it's fine.
- 13:14There's countless diets and countless fad diets
- 13:17that we could talk about. There's no shortage of them.
- 13:20And, and another up and
- 13:23coming one seems to be intermittent
- 13:26fasting. Intermittent fasting is
- 13:29pretty much in short. You eat in
- 13:32a small window of time and so you
- 13:35give yourself this specific
- 13:38amount of time wherein you eat and then you don't eat
- 13:41for the rest of the day. Usually you limit your
- 13:43eating window to like 6 to 10
- 13:46hours of your day, depending on how rigorous your're
- 13:49intermittent fast fasting
- 13:51is. I gotta admit, I've tried intermittent
- 13:54fasting. Uh, I actually enjoyed it a lot.
- 13:57But something that I found when I did
- 14:00intermittent fasting was that I ate more
- 14:03food than I normally would during my window
- 14:06because I knew I wouldn't be able to just eat when I wanted.
- 14:09It was like in the back of my brain. I Was
- 14:12like, oh, man, I got toa
- 14:15have one last snack before 8:00.
- 14:17So that way I, uh, it holds me
- 14:20over longer until the day tomorrow where I break my
- 14:23fast. Probably not how that's supposed
- 14:26to work, but
- 14:29that's how I did it. Thing
- 14:32is, everyone
- 14:35has those who diet. The people who
- 14:37take on a diet or choose to change
- 14:40what they eat, whether during, uh, a New Year's
- 14:43resolution or not, everyone has a different
- 14:46goal in it. And I think there's this
- 14:49stigma around dieting that it's only for losing
- 14:52weight. And while sometimes that's a huge
- 14:54benefit, sometimes people take on a diet in order to
- 14:57just be healthier. They're eaten better, um,
- 15:00they're feeling better. Or in the
- 15:03case of Portland vegans, to try to impress the people
- 15:06around them. Like, we get it, you're on your
- 15:0912th juice cleanse this month and at
- 15:12some point it's less impressive than you want it to
- 15:14be. Like the fact, the fact that you're
- 15:17downing 16
- 15:20ounces of juice, just like
- 15:22spicy juice on the regular and
- 15:25that, that just cleans your clock and you
- 15:28just. Shazz Royale, uh, it's
- 15:31less impressive than you want it to be. Like, I can make
- 15:34myself poop pretty easy. The
- 15:36dragonfuit, let me tell you'it'll get the job
- 15:39done. Did it, did just
- 15:41fine. But whatever the reason
- 15:44that you choose to take on it, if you choose to
- 15:47diet this New Year's and
- 15:50you want to take that on in the New year and
- 15:53whatever benefits you find in it, one thing is
- 15:56certain, and one thing is consistently
- 15:58found across these, is that our diets
- 16:01and the way we eat are going to have an impact
- 16:04on our time. In the bathroom,
- 16:07before continuing and talking about our
- 16:10diet'effects um, in the bathroom,
- 16:13there's going to be this idea of a healthy
- 16:16poop or a healthy bowel movement.
- 16:19And it's usually defined as a medium,
- 16:21brown, long, smooth and soft
- 16:24turd. Now, I would like to
- 16:27note most of those
- 16:30adjectives related to that turd
- 16:33are verifiable
- 16:35via eyecon, eye contact
- 16:38to the, to the turd. But I would
- 16:41argue smooth and soft.
- 16:44Those are texture things. And while
- 16:47I get what they mean is like, oh, it's smooth, it comes
- 16:49out smooth, it's soft, it's not hard, it's
- 16:52not like her plunkin mermaid kiss in your, um, bumole.
- 16:55Like, smooth and soft
- 16:58to me are touch senses.
- 17:01And I don't like that idea related to my turd.
- 17:04Classic Mr. Hanky Turds, though. And
- 17:07by that standard, it should Be noted that, uh,
- 17:10uh, all those adjectives considered,
- 17:13I am technically quote
- 17:16unquote unhealthy. And to that I
- 17:18say, that's like your opinion, dude.
- 17:22But they also note that people poop a
- 17:25variety of times. How many times and
- 17:28how often. And the frequency
- 17:30of someone's poop varies to a
- 17:33great degree. Some people poop as many as three times a
- 17:36day, some poop three times a
- 17:39week. I've had a number of questions.
- 17:42The first is what about
- 17:45four to five times a day? Like are we still
- 17:48okay with that as an amount? Because I will assure
- 17:50you I'm clocking in at
- 17:53least four to five times a day on the regular.
- 17:57And then my second question to this is three times
- 18:00a week. If I went an
- 18:02entire day without taking a
- 18:05dump, I don't know what I'd do. I think I'd
- 18:08probably put a note into my doctor saying hey,
- 18:11I didn't poop today. Do you think I'm good? Like
- 18:14it's a wild thought to me. The idea of not
- 18:17pooping every day is just, it's baffling to me.
- 18:20I've read stories
- 18:22online about people saying
- 18:25that like they only poop once a week or once every
- 18:28other week. That ain't right. Like I'm
- 18:31sorry. And when you do, when you
- 18:34do, like when you
- 18:37do produce that bee,
- 18:40that log has got to be mondo
- 18:42stank. Like that dude's been
- 18:45percolating in you for, for a week.
- 18:48It's gott be mondo stanko.
- 18:51All this to say all these different
- 18:54diets can take and have an affected
- 18:57toll on our poos.
- 19:05M some ways that these diets can affect our poo.
- 19:08It's noted that gluten free
- 19:11diets can cause you to be constipated.
- 19:14Especially when you're a gluten free approach
- 19:17is primarily through high
- 19:20processed non gluten foods. Rather, if
- 19:23you focus on rices and other non gluten natural
- 19:26alternatives and substitutes, you can probably get the
- 19:28fibrous situation you need. It's funny
- 19:31because gluten is kind of sticky in nature, but
- 19:34it seems that gluten helps break up your turds.
- 19:38As it comes to pooping, there are some benefits noted
- 19:41related to intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting,
- 19:44it seems, helps the healthy bacteria in
- 19:47your tummies thrive. You got bacteria in your tummy
- 19:50and that tummy when you intermittent fast
- 19:53during that time of resting, the
- 19:55bacteria are able to reproduce. They don't have to
- 19:58be busting down the big thirurdies and they're able to
- 20:01Catch back up now while you still
- 20:04need to be mindful of what you eat. It is
- 20:07stated that the heavier you are, the less healthy
- 20:10bacteria you have in your tummy. As a result,
- 20:13intermittent fasting can be a good way to begin a
- 20:16weight loss approach or kick start
- 20:19digestion.
- 20:22Many people who fast do not note
- 20:24huge changes in their pooping, but some note they
- 20:27poop less. Which if you think about it makes a lot of sense.
- 20:30Like if you go from eating like three cheesy bees
- 20:33a day to eating less than three cheesy bees
- 20:36today, you're going to produce like three
- 20:39cheesy cheesy bees.
- 20:42Amount of less poop in your,
- 20:45in your interactions. So
- 20:48that's that in the
- 20:51low carb, high protein situation, diets
- 20:54such as keto and Atkins, there's a
- 20:57noticeable effect on your bowels.
- 21:00Namely, people report that
- 21:02these low carb, high fat diets
- 21:05plug your slam up.
- 21:08I feel like one of these is also gonna make you
- 21:11fart a bunch like anytime. If I
- 21:14eat a lot of beef jerky or if I eat like a good amount
- 21:17of red meat, it just, it just really
- 21:20gets the fart factory fired up. You know what I'm saying?
- 21:23It's like fire up the fart factory. It's, it's steak
- 21:26Thursday. They call me steak and
- 21:29shake because
- 21:31keto and others are
- 21:34low in fiber, high in animal fats. Your
- 21:37tummy doesn't really process those
- 21:40things as quickly as they process
- 21:43like big fiber.
- 21:46Think about it like being like
- 21:48sticking a railroad tie in a wood
- 21:51chipper. That joker is going to
- 21:54take a little more to get through than those
- 21:57unprocessed tree limbs.
- 21:59It's noted one of the diets that helps the tummy
- 22:02shaz ctch the most is
- 22:05the Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet is
- 22:08very fruit and veggie forward and the meat that is
- 22:11found in this diet is gained primarily
- 22:14through seafood, although there is
- 22:16some um, allowances for lamb and
- 22:19sheep. The Mediterranean diet helps
- 22:22the food. Like it's very
- 22:25veggie, focus on whole grains, legumes,
- 22:28and it really helps the food slide right through
- 22:31the system faster than the sweet, sweet olive oil
- 22:34coated veggies and fish you'll be eating.
- 22:36Like Mediterranean has that
- 22:39stuff fully oiled up as it flies through you.
- 22:43Paleo, it is noted, can go either way
- 22:46depending on what your diet was like before you started
- 22:49paleo. Pretty much paleo does
- 22:52get you to a healthy poop, but it may take a bit
- 22:55longer to get there depending on where you are beginning.
- 22:58Like if your diet is
- 23:00abysmal to begin, Paleo is going to be a
- 23:03bumpy start. Finally,
- 23:07the bathroom effects from
- 23:09vegans have mixed reviews.
- 23:12As would noted, there's a variety of vegans
- 23:15and another type of vegan is called
- 23:18a fad vegan. Now, not fat vegan
- 23:21fad vegan. Fat
- 23:24vegans are kind of like Portland
- 23:27vegans, but fat vegans are the ones
- 23:30that are just buying stuff because it
- 23:33says vegan. They're vegan not because
- 23:36they want you to be, but because they
- 23:39really like the way that it sounds at parties.
- 23:42Fad vegans are the ones that are eating
- 23:45essentially junk food, but they're eating it under the
- 23:48banner of vegan. They're flying the vegan flag,
- 23:51but they're not living the vegan lifestyle.
- 23:54Remember kids, Airheads,
- 23:56Sweet chili, Doritos, Famous Amos
- 23:59peanut butter cookies, Original
- 24:02Fritos Lays, Classic Sierra Le and
- 24:05Marie Callendar frozen pies, Nutter
- 24:07Butters, Oreos, Ritz Crackers, Sour Patch
- 24:10Kids, Swedish Fish and unfrosted Pop Tarts
- 24:13are, are all vegan. And, uh, this is a
- 24:15reminder to you when you see
- 24:18vegan on a package. Vegan doesn't mean
- 24:21healthy. Now, people
- 24:24who I do believe that people that take
- 24:26vegans seriously and
- 24:29prepare food and are cooking vegan tend
- 24:32to be healthier. But just because you're
- 24:35vegan doesn't mean you are because, uh, like due could
- 24:38be slinging back pouch after pouch of Sour Patch
- 24:41Kids. And I would argue, yeah,
- 24:44you're vegan, but like, you're also
- 24:46diabetic. So here we are.
- 24:49Vegan doesn't always mean healthy. And
- 24:52who the flip, who in the flip
- 24:55wants to eat unfrosted pop tarts?
- 24:58Like,
- 25:00unpopular opinion. But
- 25:04if you were a point in your life, and it could be medical, it
- 25:07could, you know, I understand these things
- 25:10happen. But if you have
- 25:13arrived at a point in your life where you are staring down,
- 25:16making the choice, you know what? I think I'm going to go
- 25:19for unfrosted. Just don't eat Pop Tarts.
- 25:22Like, I've solved your, I've solved your dilemma
- 25:25for you. Like, don't
- 25:28just don't do Pop Tarts if you can't have them frosted. That's where
- 25:31I'm at. That's what I'm trying to say.
- 25:34But if you're eating this variety of vegan, you're
- 25:36probablynna be finding yourself pretty plugged up anyway.
- 25:39Your body's trying to process a sugar bomb. But if
- 25:42you're doing the healthy version of vegan cooking and
- 25:45preparing vegan food, as we noted,
- 25:48there's some tangible fiber
- 25:51forward benefits promoting a healthy poop from
- 25:54that. Whatever the reason
- 25:56that you take up dieting this, this season or if
- 25:59you don't, that's fine. If your resolution this
- 26:02year is around your diet, keep in mind that if you
- 26:05overdo the fiber, you may need to pack a spare pair of
- 26:08pants.
- 26:14If you hear all this and the diet
- 26:17that you were considering, or maybe you've already
- 26:20started by the time you listen to this episode and you hear
- 26:23that it constipates you or it mixes things
- 26:25up and really sling stuff out the bee faster than you can
- 26:28say Jackrabbit Slim. Go listen to our other
- 26:31episode on laxatives. You might need some. Um, but in short,
- 26:34all of these diets
- 26:37affect our poop based on the materials that
- 26:40they put in our body and as a
- 26:43result into our
- 26:45poops. Those which traditionally
- 26:48increase fiber, those that are leaned
- 26:51more towards plants and fruits and, and,
- 26:54and grains, um, are going
- 26:57to produce more
- 27:00frequent pooping and possibly
- 27:03less solid. Those which focus on
- 27:05increasing fats and oils, meats and the
- 27:08likes, dairy, cheese, all of these,
- 27:12they're going toa produce more hard to pass,
- 27:15maybe stinkier poops, but they're going to
- 27:18be a little more substantial. So keep that in mind.
- 27:21These things also don't take into account
- 27:23intolerances. Um, and maybe food intolerances is
- 27:26a story for another day. But in short, food
- 27:29intolerances are caused by your body not being able
- 27:32to process a, ah, certain compound appropriately
- 27:35or appropriately digest a certain type of food.
- 27:38And pretty much the typical path forward
- 27:41for an intolerance is to like just quit eating those
- 27:43foods. In some cases
- 27:46intolerances occur from allergies. Um, but
- 27:49sometimes it's just like the body isn't producing the
- 27:52enzyme to break down the certain type of food. This
- 27:54happens all the time. Um, there's things you can do
- 27:57to increase a digestive enzyme help break things
- 28:00down. You can actually get like enzymes as
- 28:03vitamins and just like take them to help increase
- 28:06those digestive enzymes. In
- 28:09short, junk food makes for rough poopies. You
- 28:11may experience some gastro, gastro
- 28:14distress when you see switch from
- 28:17eating like
- 28:19uh, Oscar the Grouch to eating like a
- 28:22champion in the new year. Like it takes time for
- 28:25your gut and your bacteria and your
- 28:27digestive system to adjust to that and that's okay.
- 28:31As we bring to the close of this episode, if we learned anything
- 28:34from Aaron Luckman last year when, when he was on the show,
- 28:37he shared a little bit of his health routine and now, uh, he was hitting
- 28:40the smoothies hard. He was saying how it just makes him
- 28:43real gassy. And if you decide to essentially
- 28:46blend your fibers, that G is going toa fly through
- 28:49you quicker than reheated burrito on chilly Wednesday.
- 28:52Like there's not a chance because all that
- 28:54fiber is still passing. But your body's not doing any
- 28:57work on it. It's just literally slinging it right through you.
- 29:00So keep that in mind. But that'll
- 29:03bring us to the end of another episode of Privy. Good luck on your
- 29:06resolutions. Happy New Year, everyone.
