Does coffee dehydrate you? ☕️
Not for most people, says hydration researcher Dr. Stavros Kavouras. He joins @ScottHickle on Episode 2 of Dying of Embarrassment to explain why coffee can count toward your water intake.
Caffeine can act as a diuretic if above 400mg. A strong cup has about 100mg. And black coffee is 99% water.
So one cup of coffee isn’t the enemy. It can actually help you hydrate!

Sardor had gut issues for three years.
He ordered Throne from the first ad he saw. "The fastest product I've ever bought."
He shared his data with his GI doctor, who used it to get him on the right supplement.
His gut health score went from the 60s to 100. When he got inconsistent with the supplement, it dropped to 77, then 64.
"The device doesn't know that I'm using supplement, and it showed the improvement."
Whoop for your poop. 💩

As someone living with IBD and pursuing a career in medicine, I appreciate this wonderful series by @ScottHickle and @ThroneScience. It helps normalize conversations about health topics that can feel uncomfortable or stigmatized but deserve greater awareness and open discussion
Embarrassment is keeping us from talking about our health, and that silence is hurting us more than we think.
So we created Dying of Embarrassment, a podcast hosted by our CEO and co-founder, @ScottHickle, tackling topics such as gut health, period poops, erectile dysfunction, grief and so much more.
Episode 1 with board-certified gastroenterologist Dr. Harish Gagneja is live now, with new episodes on Oct 26, Oct 27, and every Thursday after that.
🎙️ Listen to Episode 1 on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. Links in the comments.

Board-certified gastroenterologist Dr. Harish Gagneja recorded two of his own colonoscopies and shared them online.
His goal is to take the embarrassment out of getting screened. A colonoscopy can find precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer, and polyps were removed during both of his.
He joins @ScottHickle on Episode 1 of our podcast, Dying of Embarrassment. They explore why embarrassment shouldn't stand in the way of screening.

We built a podcast studio over the summer and have quietly been recording with leading health experts
We originally thought we’d name the show “Not Another Shitty Health Podcast” — because it’s not. It’s a totally fresh premise and addition to the discourse.
First episode drops tomorrow. I can’t wait to share…
Dying of Embarrassment 💀💀💀
H/t @bgrynol and @Vince_Profeta for moving mountains to get this thing produced

Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at eight years old. Growing up, Carson and his family were left guessing about what was affecting his gut health.
Now, Throne automatically tracks how often he goes, his stool consistency and his hydration, comparing each visit to his personal normal. For people like Carson, living with IBS or IBD, that means walking into appointments with weeks of tracked bowel movements and hydration trends.

Six years old, Vincent was rushed to the hospital with brown, bloody urine. Years later, he was still guessing about his hydration. Until Throne.
Throne takes out the guesswork. The toilet sensor gives him daily insights and trends into his hydration. It automatically tracks and gives him a clearer picture of what’s normal for him.

Your period can make you constipated… and then make you poop more. 🧐
After ovulation, progesterone can slow gut motility, which may help explain why some women get constipated before their period. Once your period starts, prostaglandins that help your uterus contract can stimulate your intestines too.
So within a matter of days, you can go from barely pooping to spending a lot more ✨quality✨ time on the toilet.
A great example of why we're interested in poop as a health signal at Throne.
What happens in the bathroom is connected to a lot more of your biology than we tend to realize. 💩

Who are you going to trust with your gut health data?
Siri - useless at literally every basic task
or
@ThroneScience - trained and trusted by GI doctors
