Bimal Maharjan, founder and CEO of Gutsphere, shares his personal experience and insights on how modern sitting toilets may be contributing to gut health issues like constipation and hemorrhoids. He highlights the natural benefits of squatting to poop, an ancestral practice that aligns with human biology. Maharjan discusses the history of flush toilets and how they became a status symbol, undermining the natural, efficient squatting method. He also provides practical tips for mimicking squatting in the Western world and envisions a future where homes have both sitting and squatting toilets for better gut health.
