About the episode

We eat for a variety of reasons, most importantly to sustain life. Unsurprisingly, the decisions we make about what we consume can have a huge impact on our health. Equally important is how our bodies eliminate the waste created by what we ingest. After all, what goes in must come out.

Sean Gibbons, a microbiologist at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, joins The Excerpt to discuss what bowel movements, or a lack of them, reveal about our health.
