How to change pooping schedule

Changing your pooping schedule can be influenced by a number of factors including meal timing and consistency. One way to adjust your bathroom habits is to synchronize your eating patterns, as these directly impact your digestive rhythms.

Andrew Huberman discusses how shifting meal times can be achieved by adjusting them by about 45 minutes daily. This small change can gradually reset your body's internal clock, which can influence regularity in bowel movements 1. Furthermore, maintaining a regular feeding window helps sync your body’s internal timetable, affecting when you're likely to feel the need to use the bathroom 2.

Incorporating consistent routines such as waking up, eating, and engaging in physical activities at similar times each day can help set more predictable patterns for your digestive system 3.
