Dirty Kids are Healthy Kids with Dr Maya Shetreat-Klein

Dr Maya Shetreat-Klein works with…well, DIRT! Not filth, mind you, but Dr Shetreat-Klein has found her niche teaching her patients to embrace germs and not be obsessed with the modern day culture of sanitisation. As a paediatric neurologist Dr Shetreat-Klein blends her traditional medical training with a passion for mind-body medicine. In this episode, she talks about her journey into functional medicine and how her own research as a parent led her to advocate "dirt" as a means to combat modern childhood disorders such as allergies, mood, behaviour and learning. *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.
