You've already taught me something.

When I hear the word gut, I think from my belly button to my private parts.

I think about the part that swells.

I think about the part that hangs out over my pants.

I think about just that section.

So the first thing that you want us to really reframe is that when you use the word gut, at least medically speaking, it's the mouth and all the things that connect your mouth all the way through until it goes out the other side.

Yeah.

I don't know if you feel this way as you're listening to this episode right now, but I've always thought the esophagus actually goes down the front.

Yeah.

Like in front of... Do you see what I'm saying?

It's behind the heart?

Yeah, it's in the back of your chest.

For some reason, I thought it was in front of it.

Is that because like if it hurts, you like feel it in the front of the chest?

It's weird.

Yeah, when you get heartburn, right?

Okay.

Why is it called the small bowel?

Because it looks pretty big, like long.

Okay, I just want to describe this for you in case you're listening.
