What Your Poop Says About Your Health (Bristol Stool Chart Explained)

Your body gives you a daily health report — and one of the clearest signals comes from your bowel movements.

Stool color, shape, and consistency can reveal important clues about digestion, hydration, gut motility, and overall gastrointestinal health.

In this video, we break down how to interpret those signals in a simple, practical way. You’ll learn what “normal” bowel movements look like, how the Bristol Stool Chart helps doctors understand digestion speed, and what different stool colors may mean.

We explain how bile pigments create the typical brown color of stool, why green or yellow stool is often linked to diet or faster digestion, and which colors — like red, black, or pale stool — may require medical attention.

You’ll also learn five simple habits that support healthy bowel movements: fiber intake, hydration, movement, stress management, and responding to natural bowel urges. These small, consistent habits can dramatically improve digestive health over time.

Finally, we cover the “check engine light” symptoms — warning signs like persistent diarrhea, prolonged constipation, unexplained weight loss, or blood in stool — that should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

Learning to read your body’s daily report doesn’t have to be uncomfortable or complicated. It’s one of the simplest ways to stay connected to your digestive health and overall well-being.
