| 0:24.3 | health. Dr. Sarah Campbell is an associate professor at Redger's School of Arts and Science, |
| 0:30.8 | and she also is a researcher and has conducted and published many research studies on the connection between exercise and our gut |
| 0:41.4 | microbiota. |
| 0:42.8 | It is super fascinating. |
| 0:44.3 | We really talk about some of the pathways in the body that are really mediating, you know, |
