In 2011, my two year old son was on the antibiotic merry-go-round for ear infections.  Fortunately, my friend Todd told me about gut bacteria, probiotics and prebiotics.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have a clue what he was talking about!  I barely knew what happened to my food after I ate it.

Suddenly I found myself delving into the fascinating world of microbes, viruses, fungi and the foundations of disease!  I’d always thought that disease was a game of chance but I was quickly learning that I had more power than I’d ever thought - if only I’d support these protective little critters!

The power of these microbes to make us sick or healthy blew me away and prompted me to write about it.
