The response to POOP month has been overwhelming! Turns out Poop is everyone's favourite topic -- not just mine! Truth be told - I'm not surprised.
Poop is like sex. When it's good, it's gooooooood!
And when it's bad -- it just leaves you feeling grumpy & unsatisfied.
So, that's why on TUESDAY, JANUARY 10th, I'm launching:
THRIVE'S POOPTASTIC RESET PROGRAMME

Pooping fabulously is a worthy goal for 2017!
Bad poops are often a symptom of stress, dehydration, digestive insufficiency, bacterial imbalances and/or infection (viral, parasitic or bacterial). Bad poops are also accompanied by other digestive discomforts: frequent bloating, burping, tooting, cramps and feelings of exhaustion particularly after meals.
This is no way to live!
Left too long, all these bad pooping habits lead to nutritional deficiencies because your gut gets unhealthier and more vulnerable to toxicity. As a result, your immunity is compromised and over time this could lead to serious illness. In fact, there is plenty of research that ties autoimmune diseases like hypothyroidism to leaky gut; and there is plenty of emerging research that even ties diseases like Alzheimers & Parkinsons to nutritional deficiencies that are rooted in a compromised digestive system.
So, don't let another day go by without fixing your poop! Go through these profiles now and let me know how your poopy crumbles.
1. NO POOP: If you regularly skip a day without going to the toilet - this is not normal and not good. Your gut needs a daily clean in order to stay healthy, make immune cells and serotonin. Constipation is a sign of food intolerance, dehydration, lack of fibre in the diet, lack of fresh fruits & vegetables and an excess of processed foods. Regularly constipated individuals have issues detoxing cholesterol, hormones and other fat-soluble compounds like heavy metals from their body. So if you suffer from high cholesterol, PMS, oestrogen-related illnesses or heavy metal toxicity -- an integral part of the solution is to get your POOP ON with my Reset Programme.
2. GOAT PELLET POOP: Those tiny round balls make such a splash but are actually the most unsatisfying of all poops. All that effort and out comes NOTHING. The Goat Pellet is almost always a sign of dehydration and my Programme goes head-to-head to transform this poop.
3. THIN POOP: Contrary to popular belief, thin poops do not happen when you eat less. Unfortunately, thin poops are generally the result of a food intolerance and/or the fact that you are stressed out of your skull and your gut is literally cringing. Lifestyle changes, like the ones I describe in my Programme, together with eliminating your highly inflammatory foods could make the world of difference.
4. MONSTER THICK POOP: These take a while to make their painful exit and are accompanied by heaves, grunts and fair amount of squinting. When they finally do emerge, you can't believe that your belly was ever able to house such a monstrosity and you immediately weigh yourself to see if you're actually a few pounds lighter. These Monster Thick Poops are generally not very smooth and look like a warty bitter gourd or boulderish clumps. They are a sign of constipation (see#1 above). This Programme prevents poop from getting impacted in the gut and taking too long to exit.
5. SLIMY, STICKY POOP: The kind that sometimes needs a little butt shake to let loose and leaves skid marks on the porcelain. Slimy, sticky poop is full of undigested fats and is generally foul smelling. You might notice mucous in it too. Slimy poop generally also floats to the point that it's embarrassingly impossible to flush down the bowl. Not to mention the amount of toilet paper you have to go through until you get a clean wipe! This poop is definitely the most antisocial of the lot. It is a generally a sign of pancreatic enzyme and bile deficiency and it needs sorting out. The GI MAP test helps you understand how strong your enzyme activity is. And that info together with the dietary, supplementation & lifestyle recommendations in my Programme could make your poop social again.
6. WATERY POOP: A.k.a diarrhea. If this is you regularly - you need a GI MAP Stool test ASAP. If this is you on and off for a reason you cannot specify - you also need a GI MAP Stool test ASAP. You might also need to do some food intolerance testing to determine if something like gluten or dairy (common culprits) is setting your off. However, you definitely need to rule out bacterial, viral and parasitic infection. Left unchecked, you can suffer from dehydration and severe nutritional deficiencies. Let's get you sorted.
