Well, it turns out that melatonin is active in terms of repairing and restoring the gut barrier and healing the microbiome. So a good night's rest aligned with our circadian rhythm is clearly good for our gut health. Everyone would agree with that. But what I'm saying is that part of the reason why it's good for our health is not just that you slept.

It's also that when we get ourselves into rhythm, we can get the benefits of this melatonin that's actually being produced in the gut. And, you know, we've alluded to the changes that have occurred in our modern society and how that's pulled us away from our nature. This is a perfect example. If you go camping, you know when the sun comes up.

It's impossible to miss it because it's going to wake you up. Whereas when you are like in the crypts of your home, you don't see the sun and you may not like the average person spends less than 8% of their day outside. So that's inadequate in terms of being able to activate these mechanisms that we're discussing.

Well, so the gut, I don't want to make it sound like the entirety of our mood is affected by our gut. That's not the case. But there's definitely a connection between our gut and our mood. And we know this because you can transfer a mood disorder from a human into an animal through fecal transplant.

That rat would get depressed. Or if you take a person who has generalized anxiety disorder and you transfer their poop from a human into a sterile rat or mouse, that mouse or rat will now develop anxiety-type behavior. And they just transport it into the colon of that creature?

I think they usually do what's called a lavage, which basically means that like they'll put a little tube down into the stomach, transfer through that tube into the intestines. So it circulates through. So it's not just the colon, but yeah, basically. It's a gnarly image.

From human to human? That's an interesting idea. No, I'm curious. I think that it's possible. We don't know. We don't know. So this is the way that I would unpack this. So fecal transplants in humans. I'm sure you saw the Netflix show where there was someone who was taking her boyfriend's poop. And you didn't see this? Oh, okay. What was the name of it?
