Episode 7: A Simple Way to Improve your Kid's Gut and Immune Health

In today’s episode, we're going to be talking about some research that has come out of Finland being called 'the forest floor study'. It’s a very interesting and fascinating research about how building forest floors in daycare centers can change children’s immune systems. The promising results on this short term study warrant more research and work that needs to be done in this area. 

In this podcast episode, we delve deeper into the details of this study, as we discuss how green spaces can play a vital role in kids’ overall health and discuss a related article linking the composition of the gut microbiome to predicting COVID-19 severity, and more. I also talk about some action points that you can do to incorporate outdoor activities and expose your kids to natural green spaces more frequently, despite having a busy lifestyle. 

My hope is that you will feel motivated to get outdoors with your kids more often after this episode, it is a simple and enjoyable thing we can do that has so many benefits on our kids wellbeing.
