Spoke to a new (for me) doctor yesterday and had a lengthy (for the NHS!) chat about the microbiome. As well as the things I'm doing already, she suggested "playing in the dirt" and perhaps was surprised by my receptiveness to that idea! She suggested going to the least forested/managed natural area I can access and just interacting with nature there. She also suggested interacting with dogs - so my neighbour is going to lend us her dog more often. Go on, the #microbiome!
