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...

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
