Zibby interviews Meenal Lele, a medical researcher and the founder of Lil Mixins (the #1 pediatrician-recommended allergy-prevention product), about her revolutionary new parenting book The Baby and the Biome: How The Tiny World Inside Your Child Holds the Secret to Their Health. Meenal talks about immune systems, revealing that ages 0 to 3 are the most critical and listing the best things we can do to strengthen and protect a baby’s microbiome. She also talks about the power of early allergen introduction, which is the key to ending eczema and food allergies before they even start, and is the founding principle of her company, Lil Mixins.
