I thought,

she has to stand up, right?

If we could do anything for her, let's get her up and walking again.

And so I thought about this and I was trying to figure out the gut part because I'm a stomach doctor.

I'm a gastroenterologist.

I'm a professor.

I teach all this stuff.

And I started thinking about, well, what is it about the gut in particular?

And eventually I wrote a paper about this called Gravity in the Gut.

And I thought this was career suicide because it was such a strange, weird thing for me to write about.

And people read it and said, oh, hey, that kind of makes sense.

Yeah, it does make sense.

And the next thing I knew, I thought every single part of your body, every cell, every single little cell you have has little tiny microtubules in it that are constantly shifting and moving and keeping the cell from collapsing upon itself.

Your entire body is managing this compacting force of gravity.

And when you can't handle it anymore, we give into it.

This has been the most gratifying part of all this work is how it changes the way I talk with my patients.

So for example, I see a lot of people who have irritable bowel syndrome or stomach issues, and I'll ask them, I'll say, how's your back?

You know, do you have back pain?

And almost all of them will say, yeah, I do.

Why do you ask?
