Let Them. — If you’re reading this from the toilet…stop bringing your phone into the bathroom! I can’t believe this is real… Dr. Trisha Pasricha, a Harvard Medical School physician-scientist and gastroenterologist, found that people who take their smartphones into the bathroom are 5x more likely to sit longer than 5 minutes. And they had a 46% increased risk of hemorrhoids. Why? When you sit on the toilet, there’s no pelvic floor support (which increases your risk of hemorrhoids). The longer you scroll, the longer you sit. And that pressure builds over time. Here’s the rule: If it doesn’t happen in 5 minutes – get up, walk around, and try again later. This episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. Pasricha is the ultimate no shame conversation that will help you finally understand how to listen to your gut. Dr. Pasricha will change the way you think about digestion, gut health, and yes, even poop.
