Not getting userinfo data with express-jwt

Help

I am creating a simple API based on the quickstart for node/express, and using Postman to send requests. I’m trying to return the userinfo, but am not getting the desired data in the req.user object after it has authenticated with express-jwt. My req.user object looks like:

{ iss: 'https://MY-DOMAIN.auth0.com/',
  sub: 'google-oauth2|***',
  aud:
   [ 'https://MY-API-AUDIENCE',
     'https://MY-DOMAIN.auth0.com/userinfo' ],
  iat: ***,
  exp: ***,
  azp: 'MY-CLIENT-ID',
  scope: 'openid profile email',
  permissions: [] }

I’m not sure why I’m not getting the email and other user data in the request object?

The express-jwt check is performed in a middleware like this:

const checkJwt = jwt({
    secret: jwksRsa.expressJwtSecret({
        cache: true,
        rateLimit: true,
        jwksRequestsPerMinute: 5,
        jwksUri: `${process.env.AUTH0_DOMAIN}.well-known/jwks.json`
    }),

    // Validate the audience and the issuer.
    audience: process.env.AUTH0_AUDIENCE,
    issuer: process.env.AUTH0_DOMAIN,
    algorithms: ['RS256']
});

(The audience is the MY-API-AUDIENCE, not the userinfo audience)

Or am I misunderstanding this. Do I need to do a GET request for MYDOMAIN.auth0.com/userinfo?
