Hey, it's your friend Mel and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. Let me start with a confession. I have wanted to do an episode on this topic for years because there are a few things that we all think about, we all deal with, and yet somehow We don't say them out loud. And you want to know what that topic is?

Gut issues. At the top of that list, bloating, constipation, gas, IBS. And yes, you and I, we're going to talk about poop. I can't even say that word without laughing. Because if you have gut issues,

Welcome to the club. That's the majority of people alive today. And for the longest time, I was dealing with bloating that made no sense. I would wake up feeling totally fine and by midday my jeans are tighter, my stomach is bulging out, I'm uncomfortable. In fact, it's happening right now.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
