45: Another vital sign

Summary. In this #fuelweek episode, Alex, Lindsay, and Michele focus the discussion entirely on poop and bowel regularity. The way that your body deals with and expells the food you eat says so much about your habits and stress levels. Also, did you know that your positioning and intensity also have an effect?  We also talk about Lindsay's 5 tips for better regularity, how many poops a day is normal, and how long between eating and pooping is to be expected. Enjoy!
