Hey there, it's Ella Hay. I hope you're having a great Fourth of July.
We have something special for you today.
So you might be going to cookouts and eating a lot today.
I know I am.
So we decided to bring you a show about the gut.
You know, that thing that processes all that food that we're eating.
This episode comes to us from another Washington Post podcast.
It's called Try This.
Try This is a series of short audio courses.
It's hosted by my colleague, Christina Quinn.
Christina is hilarious, and she also loves helping people learn how to improve their lives.
The latest Try This course is all about the gut and the gut microbiome.
The whole series is both fascinating and practical.
On this first episode of the course, Christina talks to a gastroenterologist.
They break down what is the gut microbiome and how does it influence everything from digestion to disease.
And after you listen, be sure to follow Try This in your podcast app.
All right, here's the show.
Hey, welcome to Try This from The Washington Post.
Try This is a series of audio courses to help you take on common challenges and learn something new without having to make a big time commitment.
I'm Christina Quinn, and I'll be learning with you per use.
