Summary

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. Key Topics Covered What HRV has in common with gut recovery and nervous system regulation What your poop can reveal about metabolism, digestion, and inflammation Signs of poor fat digestion (floating stools, greasy film, stool appearance) Why stress, dehydration, and the standard American diet drive constipation The squatty potty position and why it supports easier elimination The gut-liver connection: bile flow, endotoxins, and metabolic slowdowns Fiber debate: why it depends on the person, and how to increase it safely Antibiotics and the microbiome: why one round can disrupt the gut long-term Bone broth benefits and who should avoid it due to histamine intolerance Fasting: autophagy, meal spacing, and how to break a fast correctly Stool testing options and why symptoms still matter most Resources and Links 🌐 Website: https://fitmom.co/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepoopqueen/ Liz’s Podcast 🎧 The Health Revival Show Ben’s Live Event 📍 Metabolic Freedom — An Evening with Ben Azadi 🎟️ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/metabolic-freedom-an-evening-with-ben-azadi-tickets-1909005369449 Follow Ben Azadi 🌐 Website:⁠⁠ https://www.benazadi.com ⁠⁠ 📸 Instagram:⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/thebenazadi ⁠⁠ 💼 LinkedIn:⁠⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/benazadi ⁠⁠ 🔎 Find All Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals Learn more about your ad choices.
