In their latest book, The Microbiome Master Key: Harness Your Microbes to Unlock Whole-Body Health and Lifelong Vitality (D&M $21.95), due out in June, Dr. Brett Finlay, a microbiologist, and Dr. Jessica Finlay, an expert on aging, explore how the microbiome—microbes living in and around us—plays a crucial role in lifelong health and aging. While traditional health practices emphasize eliminating germs, new research suggests that embracing and nurturing beneficial microbes can improve sleep, cognition, mood, heart health and even reduce the risk of dementia, diabetes and cancer. The book provides practical insights on diet, hygiene, exercise, stress and probiotics, revealing how simple lifestyle changes can enhance well-being. 9798893030372
