Toilet Talk

I realize this topic may be a bit difficult for most people to digest. After all, talking about ones bowel movements is a sensitive topic. The truth of the matter is, you can really learn a lot about your health by examining what is in your toilet bowl. I know for me, if you can add humor to a learn experiencing I will retain the information more easily. Dr. Josh Richman and Dr. Anish Sheth, have written a book, ”What’s Your Poo Telling You?“ This little book is very informative and very funny. I suggest it to clients who are having digestive troubles. I usually get some pretty strange reactions at first, but when they get the book and start reading they find it rather entertaining. It also makes for great reading material in the bathroom! They have just come out with a new book “What’s My Pee Telling Me?” To learn more, check out the website at www.drstool.com.
