Today, we answer a listener question on immune system health, allergies, and sensitivities in children, with the help of our very first guest, allergy/immunology specialist, Dr. Britta Sundquist!

Dr. Sundquist talks with your hosts about things like:

Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and unscented products, and which ones might be more helpful,

The relationship between exposures and sensitivities later in life,

The origin of gut "flora" bacteria, and developing a diverse "microbiome,"

The "hygiene hypothesis," and how that relates to allergies,

And the importance of kids just getting dirty, on a regular basis (hint, the kid will make it easy for you!).

If you enjoy this, stick with us! There is more on these topics to come...
