A short conversational YouTube video (hosted by Jeffrey Jaime, CISSP) discussing how high-achieving, hustle-culture behaviors can disrupt normal bathroom habits. Speakers discuss the gut–brain connection, personal scheduling around bowel movements, and potential physiological contributors to constipation such as adrenal fatigue and thyroid problems, alongside diet and lifestyle factors.
We know there's a gut brain connection. So I'm not saying there's any link between this and mental health or mood, but for me, particularly if I've got, you know, still some toxins in the kitchen, if you will, but I need to get out. I feel off that day. So I actually kind of schedule my day a lot around my pooping.
You know, some people involved in hustle culture, you know, hard charging high achievers, you and I probably fall into that category. They have toilet issues just because they don't give themselves the time to go to the bathroom. It's like, hey, got five minutes going to make it happen and reply to 10 emails. Or well, I'm trying to do this. But for other people it goes deeper than that. You mentioned adrenal fatigue and I want to get into that and the link between that or the proposed link between that and constipation because, you know, I know thyroid issues can cause it and obviously diet is a major factor here. But for me personally, when I've struggled with it in the past, I didn't have any issues at all with going to the bathroom until I was, I think I was 24 years old.
