About Us

Our story

Seriously… a poop company?

Yep. And we couldn't be prouder of it.

How it started

Two neighbors. One uncomfortable conversation. One company.

We didn't set out to build a company around poop. We were just neighbors in East Austin grabbing drinks, talking about life — and eventually getting into the kind of conversations most people avoid.

Including what was (and wasn't) happening in the bathroom.

At first it was just that — conversation. A few laughs. A few "is that normal?" moments. But it kept coming up because we were both dealing with our own gut issues. And once you start paying attention to your gut, you realize how much it shows up everywhere else. How you feel. How you move. How your whole day goes.

Marc and Josh, PoopWell founders

Around the same time, life was moving forward. Careers, marriages, kids. Marc had co-founded Mosie Baby — helping people start families with the first FDA-cleared at-home insemination kit. Josh was building and investing in wellness brands focused on products that make a real difference in everyday life.

Different paths. Same realization: for something so universal, gut health was either confusing, inconsistent, or just not talked about at all.

So we built something simple. A straightforward, capsule-based system that fits into real life. No complicated routines. No powders you dread mixing. No mystery ingredients.

Yes, this started as a real problem. But it also started as something we actually wanted to build. Something useful. Something honest. And something we'd have fun building together.

Because if you're going to build a company around poop, you should probably be able to laugh a little.

When your gut feels right, everything else feels a little easier. More energy. Lighter. You show up better. PoopWell is here to make that feeling normal — and easier to stick with.

What we believe
A few things we don't compromise on.
Honest conversation
Gut health is something everyone deals with. We're not going to pretend it isn't. No awkwardness, no judgment — just real talk.
Simple by design
Capsules. No powders, no gummies, no complicated routines. If it doesn't fit into real life, it doesn't belong in the lineup.
Results you feel
Lighter. More regular. Less bloated. The goal isn't a number on a label — it's how you actually feel by day 15.
A little humor helps
We take the results seriously. We don't take ourselves too seriously. That balance is kind of the whole point.
