      A great question! After working in my job for just over a year, I have become more and more fascinated by our digestive system, but more specifically our guts. One of my colleagues showed last year that the testes signal to the gut so they can get a specific molecule called citrate that the testes need for sperm production. So the guts do a lot more than just digest our food for us
