After years of being dismissed and misunderstood, Noah finally found support in his 30s—along with a few game-changing tools that transformed his daily routine: a squatty potty and a Japanese-style bidet. Together, they explore how small changes, persistent self-advocacy, and staying curious about your symptoms can lead to real breakthroughs. From managing IBS flare-ups to the importance of getting a colonoscopy, this episode sheds light on the kind of gut health conversations that don’t happen nearly enough.
