It's time to talk sh*t—literally! Improve your gut health, and your life, with this relatable and humorous handbook. If you grew up in the Western world, you were probably taught that poop is gross. Unspeakable, even. But it’s a waste to think of poop as a waste. Bags under our eyes tell us we’re not getting enough sleep. Sallow skin, thinning hair, and brittle nails tell us if our diets are imbalanced or if we're overstressed. Poop tells us all of that—and much more. This friendly and conversational handbook from two certified yoga and Ayurveda coaches teaches you how to think of poop as a useful gauge of overall health, and helps you track the effects of simple lifestyle adjustments with: • A seven-day tracker to observe your current poop health. • Insights on the impact of diet, exercise, sleep, and stress on your poop, with tips for making improvements in all areas. • Journal prompts that help you analyze behaviors that lead to good and bad poops. • A 21-day tracker to help you see the positive impact of lifestyle changes on your poop over time. • And more!

An easy-to-follow plan to regain a healthy gastrointestinal system-and relieve problems from gas to bloating to IBS. Close to 100 million Americans suffer from chronic-and sometimes very serious- gastrointestinal conditions. Prominent gastroenterologist Dr. Wesley Jones has found that virtually all digestive problems have one single underlying cause-constipation. Our modern diets and stressful lifestyles can make poor digestion such a common experience that sometimes people don't even recognize it as a problem. Here, Dr. Jones provides a proven program that has already helped thousands relieve and prevent constipation-related gastrointestinal problems for life. No one wants to talk about constipation, but millions suffer from it. Take as evidence the ubiquitous ads for Dannon's billion-dollar brand, Activia, which features Jamie Lee Curtis talking about "occasional irregularity." Constipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints in the United States, resulting in about two million doctor visits annually. However, most people treat themselves without seeking medical help, as is evident from the millions of dollars Americans spend on laxatives each year. Now, this book will offer them a safe, proven, easy-to-follow program to relieve constipation once and for all. Because it's not just uncomfortable-it's unhealthy!

This book kept me reading all night. I couldnt put it down! -- Brad DeMeulenaere I had my first colonic at age 26. I am now 56 and have seen a total of five colon hygienists, four within the past six years. Ive been through the forest of medical doctors and many different alternative health practitioners. Much of the time, I have sensed a frustration from them. Sometimes its a frustration that they cant figure out how to help me and sometimes it feels like a cumulative frustration from all the others they havent been able to help. But sometimes I feel that their frustration is directed to me personally, as if they wished I would just get myself together and feel better. Lord knows, I havent always made the best choices for my health. When I saw Scott Webb, I felt a lack of that frustration and no hint of blame. It was evident to me that he saw the big picture and how we have been affected by our culture. Scotts message was truly one of hope which brought me a sense of relief and peace. That is definitely a place where healing can begin, when you feel no blame, just peace and hope. -- Victoria Lovett One of Americas leading colonic therapists gives you the inside scoop on digestive disorders that you or a loved one might be experiencing.
