LIVE DIRTY, EAT CLEAN: Guests gathered on a perfect end-of-summer evening to celebrate Dr. Robynne Chutkan’s new book, “The Microbiome Solution: A Radical New Way to Heal Your Body from the Inside Out” and also hear how she quite literally saved the life of her hostess, Mary Ha . Chutkan, a noted gastroenterologist, explained that the average Western diet and over-sanitized lifestyle are starving our microbes, depleting “good bugs” that are crucial to health and encouraging too much of the wrong kinds of bacteria. The resulting imbalance makes us susceptible to numerous autoimmune and chronic health conditions. Guests left with a parting gift from Sakara, an organic meal delivery program.
