In this eye-opening (and sometimes hilarious) episode of Let’s Talk Sht*, host Lisa Garrett shares an unlikely teacher in the world of gut health: her German Shepherd, Leo. After months of dealing with her dog’s constipation, Lisa discovered just how much stress, not just food, impacts digestion.

Through Leo’s journey with acupuncture, diet changes, and yes, even doggy stress management, Lisa draws powerful parallels to what humans experience with gut health. If you’ve ever struggled with bathroom habits, stress overload, or wondered why “doing all the right things” still doesn’t fix constipation, this one’s for you.
