## Resource

Inside every one of us is a complex, evolving ecosystem influencing everything from immunity to inflammation to long-term health. This is known as our gut microbiome. The choices made early on, such as how babies are born, fed and treated, can have lasting effects. In this episode, we explore the pediatric gut microbiome: what builds it, what disrupts it and why it matters more than some may think . We're joined by g astroenterology experts Jaime Belkind-Gerson, MD , and Edwin DeZoeten, MD . Dr. Belkind -Gerson is th e Director of the N eu rogastroenterology program at Childre n's Colo rado. Dr. DeZoeten is the D irector of the P ediatric I nflammatory B owel D isease C enter. They are also professors at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
