Description

Maintaining good gut health for kids and teens is crucially important to overall health.

Today my guest, Dr. Elisa Song, explains how the developing gut impacts other body systems that are also in development like:

-Immunity
-The brain

That means that however we support (or don’t) kids’ gut health may have profound effects on their current and future health.
