So as many of you know I’m working at a company building a passive gut health + hydration tracker that goes on your 🚽

Inculcated by “hot girls have ibs” I always thought poop was the bigger problem

But over my 2mo on the job have learned a LOT about pee. It has been the biggest surprise to me by far

Problem is ppl know they are going to take the test and modify behavior. It’s an $$$ snapshot of a point in time that doesn’t necessarily reflect lifestyle

our lower fidelity ongoing capture can actually get at hydration status over time, and in turn help show what behaviors contrib to things like kidney stones

Urologists LOVE us
They have no way to get accurate, day to day reads on the metrics that matter for their patients and our tech excites them

For ex: urologists use what’s called a 24hr urine test to measure kidney function. You pee in a bucket for a whole day and give it to them and they check metabolites etc

Of course the doc said FODMAPs 🥱 💀 I’m so glad you’re feeling better that makes me so happy to hear! We just met someone who put his UC in remission with similar diet no kidding!

There’s so much more to this I wish I had room to fit in, too! The pee thing has been such an education!!

This is fascinating 🧐 Btw my gut got surprisingly better recently. I talked to a doctor after our convo & it was what I expected- low FODMAP blah blah. But I started working with a personal trainer and she has me on low carb high fat & protein diet and I don’t know if it’s this or what but damn! No stomach pain!

When you think about it, it’s a wasted opportunity that our toilets are just dumb ceramic appliances, when they could reveal so much about our health completely passively and without extra effort from us
