What to expect
Do you struggle with anxiety around using the bathroom? Or spend days worrying about when your next bowel movement will be? Dr Trisha Pasricha takes us on a deep dive into our bowels to create an actionable framework to make pooping a breeze.
If you struggle with gut trouble and toilet anxiety, it’s not your fault, and more importantly, it’s fixable. No one would expect you to have stunning teeth if you were never shown a toothbrush. You would struggle to fall asleep if you never knew how to turn off the bedroom lights. But no one talks about the fundamentals of pooping, leading many to spiral into a quagmire of poor habits and anxiety.
This book will teach you:
- What a ‘normal’ bowel movement is
- All about the intricate connection between your brain and gut
- How to harness your gut’s microbiome to boost your health
- And much more…
You’ll learn the tools to achieve bowel consistency and ease, so that your gut flows on autopilot and you can live your life without obsessing about the bathroom.
