What if your bowel movements are one of the clearest signals of your metabolic health, stress levels, and ability to heal?

In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, host Ben Azadi sits down with functional gut health practitioner Liz Roman, widely known as “The Poop Queen,” to unpack a topic most people ignore, but their body never forgets: bowel movements. Liz explains how stool quality can reveal metabolic dysfunction, poor fat digestion, dysbiosis, sluggish bile flow, and even hidden stress patterns that slow healing. Together, they break down constipation root causes, hydration and electrolytes, fiber bio-individuality, antibiotics recovery, liver and bile support, stool testing options, and how fasting can support gut repair when done the right way.
