Everybody eats, and everybody poops. Pretty ordinary stuff, right?
But what happens in between is far from ordinary! That’s where your digestive system—also known as your gut—works its magic.

- The surprising role that food and digestion play in your mood and immune system.
- The amazing tools your body uses to break down food including acids, which do their thing without burning a hole in your stomach!

- And so much more!
