How Stool Testing Can Transform Your Gut Health with Dr. Lahnor Powell

Okay, let’s be real — no one wants to talk about poop… but your stool can actually tell you everything about your gut, hormones, and even your energy levels.

In this episode of Gut Talk, Jenna & Jill chat with Dr. Lahnor Powell from Genova Diagnostics, the team behind one of the most advanced gut health tests out there.

They dive into the world of stool testing — what it actually shows, how to read your results, and why it might be the missing piece in your health puzzle.

Here’s what we cover:

- What stool testing really measures (and why it’s not that gross, promise)

- Our real stool test results 😳

- The difference between traditional vs. naturopathic medicine

- Why your gut health depends on sleep, stress, and what’s on your plate

- How variety (yes, even in your veggies) can change everything

- The myths about gut health we all believed

Whether you’re constantly bloated, dealing with mystery gut issues, or just curious what your microbiome’s been up to — this episode will make you rethink your gut from the inside out.
