Show Notes
Today, David seeks free medical advice about his bowel problems from gastroenterologist Dr. Benjamin Schmidt. Dr. Schmidt answers the question: How many bowel movements a day is normal? We discover the reasons why the doctor chose to specialize in gastroenterology. Additionally, we get a brief overview of the genetic history of bacteria within the gut. Surprisingly, we learn that travel may have a positive effect on one's stomach. Then, David addresses his anal fissure issues, putting them to final rest. (Also: botox in your butt?! What?!) The two discuss Crohn's disease and how being an "anxious pooper" might not be terribly bad for your health. Dr. Schmidt shares some colorful stories from his experiences as a doctor. David explains what "lemur poop coffee" is – yes, it's a real thing. Dr. Schmidt also talks about the videos he's been working on and introduces us to "gut hypnotherapy".
