GLP-1s, “Fibermaxxing,” and Pooping: A Gastroenterologist Explains the Gut-Brain Connection
3/10/20260 min
This week we’re joined by gastroenterologist and gut-brain researcher Dr. Trisha Pasricha, author of the upcoming book You’ve Been Pooping All Wrong. We talk about everything you’ve always wanted to know about your gut but were too embarrassed to ask: from fiber intake and her preferred supplements to “horrendous period poops,” GLP-1’s and your gut, and why stress can wreak havoc on digestion. Dr. Pasricha explains how the brain-gut connection shapes everything from bloating to anxiety and shares the daily habits that can help you reach what she calls “poophoria.” Plus, we answer listener questions about probiotics, digestive enzymes, gluten confusion, and the red flags women should never ignore when it comes to colorectal health.
