Dr. Dwayne Jackson returns to the show to discuss gut health. While "microbiome" has become a wellness buzzword, Dr. Jackson explains why your gut is actually the command center for your immune system, brain health, and athletic performance.

The conversation begins at the very beginning, exploring how our initial microbial colonization during birth (vaginal vs. C-section) and early-life antibiotic use sets the "blueprint" for our health decades later. Dr. Jackson uses his "Lawn Analogy" to describe the delicate balance of bacteria in the colon and what happens when "weeds" (bad bacteria) take over the "grass" (good bacteria).
