What Is Regularity?

Your Regularity metric helps you understand how consistently your body maintains its digestive rhythm over time. It shows how steady your gut’s natural schedule is and helps you recognize when your timing changes.

Understanding Regularity

Regularity reflects how evenly your bowel movements are spaced throughout the day and across the week. It gives you a sense of how predictable your digestive rhythm is and how your gut adapts to your habits.

When viewed over time, Regularity helps you see how factors such as hydration, nutrition, sleep, and stress interact to shape your digestive pattern. It turns what your body does naturally into a visual record of rhythm and consistency.


What It Shows

The Regularity view displays how consistent your bowel movement timing has been over days, weeks, or months.

Each point on the graph represents the average spacing between your bowel movements, showing whether your normal has been steady or varied during that period.

You can tap any point in Trend View to explore related metrics such as Frequency, Digestive Pattern, and your Gut Health Score. Together, these insights create a complete picture of your digestive balance.


Why It Matters

Your gut works best when it runs on rhythm. A consistent digestive schedule often means that your internal systems, including hydration, fiber intake, rest, and stress regulation, are functioning in harmony.

Tracking your Regularity helps you:

  • See your natural rhythm and understand what steady timing looks like for you

  • Recognize when your schedule becomes less predictable

  • Compare regularity with other metrics such as hydration or sleep

  • Support comfort and energy through steady digestive timing

Everyone’s rhythm is different. Regularity helps you learn what consistency means for your body so you can support it more intentionally.


Factors That Affect Regularity

Your digestive rhythm is influenced by everyday behaviors and environmental factors. Common influences include:

  • Dietary balance: Fiber, healthy fats, and hydration all support regular timing

  • Hydration: Consistent water intake helps stool move smoothly through the digestive tract

  • Meal timing: Eating at regular intervals reinforces your body’s natural rhythm

  • Stress and rest: Emotional or physical stress can temporarily disrupt digestive consistency

  • Activity level: Movement stimulates digestion and supports steady bowel patterns

  • Travel or schedule changes: Shifts in sleep, meals, or environment can temporarily alter timing

By observing your Regularity trends, you can see how these everyday factors influence your digestive comfort and rhythm.


How To Use The Insight

  • Focus on stability: Small variations are normal. Look for your overall pattern rather than perfection.

  • Compare across metrics: Use Regularity alongside Frequency and Digestive Pattern to understand your gut health in context.

  • Add lifestyle notes: Record changes in diet, activity, or routine that may affect your rhythm.

  • Review the long view: Your 30-day and 90-day patterns provide a more reliable picture than a single week.

Regularity becomes a reflection of your lifestyle. It helps you understand how your choices, hydration, meals, rest, and movement shape your body’s natural timing.


Building A Steady Rhythm

Your Regularity metric is not about achieving perfect timing. It is about awareness and balance.


By learning what is normal for you, you can make small, consistent choices that support a comfortable digestive rhythm.

Simple habits often make the biggest difference:

  • Drink water throughout the day

  • Keep mealtimes steady

  • Prioritize sleep and relaxation

  • Move your body regularly

Over time, these steady habits help your gut stay consistent, balanced, and easier to understand.
