Episode #50 – A Discussion All About Poop with Lynda Griparic
In this episode we talk to Lynda Griparic about everything to do with number twos! She is the Poop Queen and is not ashamed to bring light to a socially sensitive topic! There’s no shortage of humor and good advice in this episode, including what makes a “healthy evacuation” and “poo-phoria” (yes it is such a thing!).
Lynda has been working in the health industry for over 15 years. She holds a Diploma in Nutrition, an Advanced Diploma in Naturopathic Medicine and on top of that is a certified yoga instructor! She is passionate about health, mind and body and is curious about how all of these are intricately connected.
In this interview you’ll learn what makes the perfect bowel movement, right down to colour, smell and texture. Lynda fills us in on how diet & proper hydration influence the digestive system, the scientifics of fitness and constipation and everything colonics. We also learn some interesting facts about the correlation between travelling and constipation and why so many of us neglect the natural urge to just go.
Lynda has a truly unique philosophy and is doing amazing things to help take the stigma away from the once taboo topic of what makes a healthy poo!
