From Heart Surgery to Happy Pelvis: Poop Strategies for Heart Surgery Patients

Hey to all of my heart friends. This episode may be a tad cringy at times. Sorry, not sorry.

Curious about what happens after open-heart surgery that no one else seems to talk about? Dr. Kelly Sadauckas takes us on a journey into a post-operative topic that’s often overlooked: pooping. This episode sheds light on the intricate processes involved in digestion and bowel movement and reveals surprising ways to prepare for and recover from surgery more smoothly. We do our best to make the complex world of gut health accessible and—dare we say it—fun!
