The Best Way to Stay Humble

mental health personal story Dec 30, 2021

I found myself on my knees at 8am in the bathroom, squatting over a cardboard container, taking a shit in it. I then was on my knees, digging through my own feces with a little spoon to then put into containers to then ship the GI Map lab to get an entire look at my microbiome. 

Did you imagine it? lmfaooooo, like cmon man! We don't sign up for these kinds of things in life but it's all part of the game. You can't have all of the innocent toilet dumps without digging into one in your life. 

Now, I'm already fairly certain I have a high gluten sensitivity if not celiac disease and also am lactose intolerant. I'm excited to see what else my shit has to tell me and my health team. 

If you ever find yourself floating too high above the surface because your ego has inflated to an unhealthy level, take a stool sample for a lab. Get on your knees and dig through your shit. 

Be humble and enjoy the events we never signed up for. 

Thanks for reading.
