Girls Just Wanna Be Regular

"“This is what I meal-prepped as a certified pooper,” begins one of Hally's videos with more than 2 million views. “I like to hit my butthole first thing in the morning with a poop juice,” she says in a voice-over, referring to a smoothie with kale, banana, and spirulina powder. “My friends say this makes their poops very smooth and nice.”"

"Lately, certain corners of social media have been flush with content focused around bowel health, with creators touting the benefits of getting enough fiber and discussing the cadence of one's bowel movements as a wellness metric. Being regular is a flex. The “fibermaxxing” trend is partly a response to the protein-focused content overload we saw last year, moving fitness creators to remind followers that looking and feeling good depends as much on fiber intake as on protein."

"There are other factors, too. New data showing increases in colorectal cancer in people under 50 has many young people eager to be proactive about digestive health. And as GLP-1 drugs become more popular and accessible, more people are becoming familiar with one of their common side effects: constipation."

"The virality of Hally's poop juices, along with that of relatable memes about, say, the intricacies of pooping on vacation, suggest that more young people are willing and eager to compare notes and are abandoning stigmas around discussing what has traditionally been a topic reserved for behind bathroom doors."

Step-by-step recipe videos on TikTok promote smoothies and snacks designed to improve bowel movements. One creator describes a morning “poop juice” smoothie made with kale, banana, and spirulina, claiming it helps produce smooth, nice poops. Social media trends emphasize “fibermaxxing,” tracking bowel health through fiber intake and regularity. The shift partly responds to earlier protein-heavy fitness content and is reinforced by rising colorectal cancer rates in people under 50. Increased use of GLP-1 drugs has also made constipation more familiar, motivating proactive digestive care. Viral poop-related memes suggest young people are more willing to discuss bowel habits openly.
