You may have heard that you should be pooping once a day but that's a load of crap, says Dr. Jen Gunter. From the enzymes in your mouth to the nutrientabsorbing power of your large intestine, she journeys through the digestive tract to explain why it's okay to poop at your own pace and shares the many regulating benefits of a fiberrich diet.
Think you know how your body works? Think again! Dr. Jen Gunter is here to shake up everything you thought you knew from how much water you need to drink to how often you need to poop and everything in between. This TED original series will tell you the truth about what's really going on inside you.
