What is the microbiome, how might it be connected to IBD and
other conditions, and how can it affect health when it's pushed out
of balance? Dr Sarina Pasricha of the Christiana Care Health System
gives me the scoop on how the microbiome is created when we are
young and how it changes with our activities and diet, as well as
why we should not try fecal transplants at home, and how a
little bit of dirt is good for our kids.
