This episode is sponsored by Activia. I know we love fun facts and I know we love guts here. Your digestive tract and mine too, made up of over 200 million neurons. People call your guts your second brain. There's so much going on down there.

You're out there, you're having a lazy day, maybe. Meanwhile, your guts are Grand Central Station. And what can you do for that city? Well Activia is the number one probiotic yogurt brand.

They're backed by 20 years of gut health research. You know me, I love gut health research. And they have explored this through over 15 clinical studies. Activia is not just a yogurt, it is decades of science and curiosity all packed into something that you can eat. So if your brain is interested in your guts, and vice versa, Activia might be for you.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
