Description
It’s fair to say that the subject of poop, and especially girls and women and pooping, is a little taboo. I don’t know about you, but this topic was extremely embarrassing for me to talk about for a very long time. As a teenager living in gut health hell, I was too embarrassed to use the bathroom at school and instead tried to suffer through it until I got home. No way would I risk someone being in the stall next to me hearing what was happening! On top of the social issues, keeping poops as a don’t ask-don’t tell topic meant I had no idea that my digestive issues were linked to all my hormonal woes. Here’s the thing - we have to talk about this stuff because just like periods, our digestive health tells us a lot about our bodies but we won’t know when something is wrong if we don’t even know what is normal, to begin with. Let’s push through the discomfort and start talking. The inspiration for this series is my first book, Fix Your Period, which arrived in the world on April 28th and is available now (with some incredible bonuses worth over $500!). During this time, I want to share super valuable information with you that is like a sneak peek into all the goodness in my book. To learn more about Nicole's book, visit the show notes.
