“Eso explica que los niños que crecen en una granja tradicional (y no me refiero a una industrial) tengan un sistema inmunitario muy fuerte capaz de luchar contra los auténticos patógenos (es decir, contra los parásitos), mientras que los niños que viven en una burbuja urbana proverbial y están protegidos de los gérmenes pueden terminar con un sistema inmunitario confuso que termine atacando moléculas inocuas y adoptando la forma de enfermedades autoinmunes, incluso a la misma persona.”

“As I’ll suggest in chapter 10, you might want to have two types of serums—one for the morning and another for the evening. Each one will contain slightly different ingredients. There will be more UV-combating ingredients in the daytime serum and more retinol in your nighttime serum. Serums are not heavy and moisturizing, as your daytime moisturizer or nighttime face cream should be. Rather, serums are light, fast-absorbing, and packed with potent ingredients that provide your skin with lasting long-term benefits.”

“Imagine being able to tweak your gut microbial profile to help you effortlessly lose weight, terminate type 2 diabetes, reduce your risk for depression, dementia, and cancer, and support skin health. Similarly, imagine shifting the skin’s microbial characteristics to thwart acne outbreaks, block UV rays and prevent skin cancer, deflect mosquitoes (indeed, new research shows that the microbes on our skin affect whether or not we are bitten), and usher in that coveted healthy glow. That’s the promise that this exciting field of medicine has to offer. Time to get ready for it.”
