Hi, welcome to episode 6 of the Wellness Mama Podcast where I provide simple answers

for healthier families.

Today's episode's interesting fact is that the human body is host to more bacterial cells

than human cells.

Many are housed in our gut, which today's guests and I will definitely be talking about,

The majority of the bacterial cells in the human body are beneficial and necessary, but

I could not be more excited to introduce today's guest.
