Why do endurance athletes have gut problems? Is it just runners?
Are we even half human? Does yoghurt make sense? Are we all slaves to Probiotics and Big Kombucha? And why is David wearing a vest?

This week David and Jody talk to Dr Jamie Pugh from Liverpool John Moores University about gut health, the science behind it and how it relates to athletic performance, and try to found out whether the answer to it all is literally a shit sandwich.
