What does your microbiome have to do with allergies? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Genetics and food exposure in early life can impact if you develop allergies or not. But those aren't the only factors at play! This month we are continuing on the topic of allergies, and this time we will explore how our microbiome and exposure to microbes can impact our risk of developing allergies. We talk about how a diverse microbiome can reduce your risk of allergies and why, and what happens when your microbiome is less well-balanced. And to end - have you heard of the hygiene hypothesis?
