The butt talk continues, but this time we’re asking the important question: what should you actually do if you see blood in your stool? Rebecca shares how she found Dr. Zalai in the first place and ultimately ended up having him remove her hemorrhoid (thanks, bestie!). We also cover treatments for common butt ailments, anal HPV (yes, your ass can get HPV too), why you should get your Gardasil vaccine, and when bleeding deserves a closer look. Come for Rebecca’s hemorrhoid story, stay for an unexpectedly hilarious amount of useful information about your anus.

We’re talking butt stuff with the hilarious and incredibly educational Dr. Cristian Zalai of the West Island Colorectal Clinic. What exactly IS a hemorrhoid? What’s an anal fissure? Why do they happen, and why can they hurt so damn much? Dr. Zalai breaks down some of the most common butt ailments, what’s actually going on back there, and when it might be time to get your butt checked. Somehow, we learned a LOT and laughed almost the entire time.

In Part 2 with body-positive trainer Sara Denny (@sara.denny1), we talk about why you don’t have to earn your food, exercise doesn’t need to be punishment for what you ate, and training can be about getting strong, capable and maybe a little jacked. Sara also gets into what happens when you talk about body positivity online and suddenly everyone with WiFi has an opinion about your body. Food isn’t a reward, exercise isn’t a punishment, and your body is not a public comment section. 💪
