The Poop Timeline: What It Tells You About Your Health 6/25/2025
You don’t need a stool test to know what your gut is doing.
You just need to look in the toilet—and stop pretending poop isn’t trying to tell you everything.
Why Your Poop Deserves a Little More Respect
Let’s be honest. Most people flush and forget. But if you’re healing your gut, balancing hormones, detoxing, or preventing chronic disease…
Your poop is the fastest, cheapest feedback system you’ve got.
And trust me—it’s not just about going.
It’s about how, how often, what it looks like, and what it smells like. (Sorry, but we’re going there.)
What’s a Healthy Poop, Anyway?
Let’s keep this simple.
✅ Once or twice a day
✅ Logs, not pebbles or soup
✅ Medium brown, smooth, easy to pass
✅ Sinks slowly, minimal wiping, no burning or bloating
That’s your baseline. Anything else might be a clue that your gut—or your drainage—is struggling.
When Poop Gets… Weird: What It’s Trying to Tell You
Here’s what your body might be screaming (politely) through your stool:
💩 Type: Pebbles or Rabbit Droppings
Translation: You’re constipated and likely dehydrated or magnesium deficient.
Check: Minerals, fiber, stress, and movement.
💩 Type: Sticky or Mucus-Coated
Translation: You may have inflammation or gut lining issues.
Check: Gut healing foods like bone broth, collagen, and zinc carnosine.
💩 Type: Pale or Yellowish
Translation: Bile flow might be blocked. Liver or gallbladder sluggish.
Check: Bitters, coffee enemas, or castor oil packs to boost bile production.
💩 Type: Floater That Won’t Flush
Translation: Too much fat or not enough bile to break it down.
Check: Digestive enzymes or ox bile support.
💩 Type: Loose or Urgent
Translation: Could be gut dysbiosis, poor absorption, or even parasites.
Check: Start slow with binders or anti-parasitic herbs—but never without drainage.
💩 Smell: Eye-Watering Rottenness
Translation: Likely protein putrefaction or slow transit time.
Check: Gut terrain might be off. Start with hydration + magnesium and reassess protein intake.
How Often Is “Normal” Anyway?
Let me say this louder for the people in the back:
If you’re not pooping every single day, your detox system is struggling.
Every 3 days? 🚨
“Normal for me” isn’t good enough. You’re reabsorbing toxins your body tried to dump.
Let’s not do that.
Simple Ways to Improve Bowel Movements Today
- Hydrate with minerals (not just water)

- Use binders like BEAM minerals, Chlorella, or activated charcoal to trap what needs to leave
- Practice deep breathing to activate parasympathetic response
Poop Logs Aren’t Just for Kids
I challenge you: for the next 3 days, track your poop.
Not to obsess—but to notice.
This is where true healing begins: with awareness.
