I don’t care if you’re a clinician or not, if you have a GI system, this episode is for you. Brought on pelvic therapist Dr. Tamra Wroblesky for a discussion on…poop. Well, not just poop, but we talked a WHOLE LOT about bowel habits and why you pay just as much attention to what’s coming out of your body as you do to what’s going in. If reading that last sentence made you uncomfortable, then you DEFINITELY need to listen to this episode.

Tamra discusses how your bowel habits can and will affect not just your body, but your entire life.
