In this moment, the gastroenterologist and gut health expert Dr Will Bulsiewicz breaks down everything you need to know about how your poo is one of the biggest signs of your overall health.Will says that too often we see poo as disgusting rather than a major clue of our health, as he says poo for a gastroenterologist is what checking the pulse is for a cardiologist. He says that signs can range from the size, smell and shape of poo, all of which can indicate anything from a poor diet to colon cancer. This is because 60% of your poo is bacteria and a direct window into the state of your microbiome which impacts all areas of your mental and physical wellbeing.
