Tara sits down with Consultant Dietician and star of Channel 4’s “Know Your Sh*t,” Sophie Medlin, to discuss how humans develop microbiomes, how your gut bacteria control your immune system and the danger of fad diets. They also discuss how much of a role individual culture and heritage should play in daily diet, and the importance of understanding your unique microbiome.
