Once again, I was joined by Dr. Marci L. Hardy, PhD, MA, to discuss how to become more comfortable talking about your bodily functions.
Dr. Hardy previously joined me in episode #8 — You are the Expert on Your Body to talk about advocating for yourself and your loved ones to ensure you are getting the attention and care you need from your healthcare providers.
In this episode, Dr. Hardy expands on her patient advocacy approach to overcoming the social taboos of talking about digestive function and symptoms more generally, as well as specifics, such as reflux, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea.
If just reading this makes you squirm, remember… Everyone Poops!
For more about digestive health, including reflux, gas, bloating, and more, check out The Ins & Outs of Digestive Health — Part 1 and Part 2.
