The Effects of Air Pollution on Gut Health

In this episode, I cover updates to gut research. These updates are grouped into two main categories: gut dysbiosis and immune system. 

Gut health and immune health go hand-in-hand, so it may not be so shocking to hear how lowering gut inflammation can boost immunity.

What exactly works to improve digestive symptoms and immune function? This episode features studies that reveal the power of diet and the pitfalls of lab tests and environmental exposures. 

Listen in to better understand how to build a healthier gut.
