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...

Our guest today, Dr. Britta Sundquist, is a practicing board-certified allergist, who takes care of patients from infancy through adulthood.

She is currently employed at Southdale Pediatrics in Minnesota. For more information, visit https://www.southdalepeds.com
