Ep. 69: Is Your Poop Greasy, Sticky, or Floating? It Might Be a Bile Problem

Sticky, hard-to-wipe poops might feel like just a bathroom frustration—but they’re actually one of the clearest signs your bile isn’t flowing well. And when bile is off, digestion, hormones, and energy all take a hit.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

  • What sticky stool really means (and what “normal” should look like)
  • 5 reasons your bile might be sluggish
  • Why this matters even more if you’ve had your gallbladder removed or are postpartum
  • How poor bile flow impacts hormone balance, bloating, fatigue, and even post viral gut issues
  • 5 simple, natural ways to support bile flow today
