Burps, Bloat & Bathroom Betrayal (A Sharts & Giggles Pooptacular) with Dr. Jeffrey Brooks | Episode 64

Midlife doesn’t arrive politely—it kicks down the door, rearranges your gut, and leaves behind symptoms it refuses to explain.This week, gastroenterologist Dr. Jeffrey Brooks joins Eliana and Leora for a deep dive into the glamorous underworld of aging digestion: reflux that shows up uninvited, bloating that ignores physics, constipation with commitment issues, and bathroom “emergencies” that redefine your relationship with public toilets. Eliana recounts her radioactive poop era (a phrase no one should ever have to say), Leora shows up unfiltered and unflushable, and Dr. Brooks tries—unsuccessfully—to keep things medically dignified while everything devolves into full Sharts & Giggles territory.From colonoscopies to pelvic floor betrayal to the eternal question of “is this normal or am I dying?”, it’s equal parts education, humiliation, and group therapy in a fluorescent-lit waiting room.Menopause: where dignity meets the toilet—and dignity loses. 🚽💥
