We rarely talk about it. When we do, we use euphemisms, we cringe, we giggle. The catch? We all  have unanswered questions about poop (Ack! We said it). Ever wonder if your "regularity" is normal? Think maybe you go too much? Are you like many of us who hold it 'til we get home and is this a problem? Answers to these questions are just the beginning of what you'll learn in this episode! Plus, Jenn tackles what our bowel movements say about our overall health and the increasing prevalence of colorectal cancer in those under age 50. You do NOT want to miss this episode.
