But there's no \"immunity\" to the inevitable signs of aging . . . or is there?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Whole-Body Microbiome\u003c\/i\u003e, the father-daughter team of Dr. Brett Finlay (a microbiologist) and Dr. Jessica Finlay (a specialist on aging) offers a different--and truly revolutionary--solution to the quest for the fountain of youth. While much has been written about bacteria in the gut, exciting new research shows that there are millions of microbes both \u003ci\u003einside\u003c\/i\u003e our bodies--supporting our brain, teeth, heart, lungs, bones, immune system, and more; plus the microbes \u003ci\u003eon\u003c\/i\u003e our bodies, coming from the air we breathe and the things we touch all day long--cell phones and kitchen sponges, pets and doorknobs, and even other humans. These microbial \"lifelong companions\" have an immense impact on our daily health--and, as groundbreaking research is showing, they have the power to help prevent and reverse the most common age-related diseases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this eye-opening new take on the significance of the microbiome, the Finlays offer empowering knowledge, surprising myth-busters, and simple yet effective daily tips that prove \"dirty\" is the new clean. Whether it's by changing your diet, enjoying a glass of wine, getting more exercise, trading your antibacterial gel for good old soap and water, or spending more time outdoors, you can change your life today; so that you \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e your microbes live long--and prosper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eB.
