Description

Inside each of us lives a bustling community of microbes; tiny organisms that outnumber our human cells. They’re there from the very moment we’re born, shaping our immune system and influencing our long-term health.


The science of the microbiome is evolving rapidly, but one thing is clear: We need to take care of these microbes so that they can take care of us.


Today, I’m joined by Dr. Suzanne Devkota and Tim Spector to explore how our gut bacteria protect us from disease and what we can do to strengthen this vital partnership.
