Last week, we spoke about the potential (but unknown) benefits of vaginal delivery in terms of supplying the mom's microbiome to the baby at the time of birth.  This week we're going to talk with Dr. Lisa Christian of The Ohio State University about the gut microbiome and the behavior of toddlers.

Dialysis is like many things in medicine: incredibly wonderful and just awful.  And while transplant is curative, there just aren't enough kidneys to go around.  Wouldn't it be great if there were a third way.  Join me and Dr. William Fissell, an Associate Professor and nephrologist at Vanderbilt University as we talk about his research in developing an implantable artificial kidney.

After that, we will move to the GI tract for Gastroenterology Update.  We'll go over the latest studies about PPI drugs like Prilosec and Nexium and answer your questions on all things digestive...give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS or send me a tweet!

Probiotics are good.  Or maybe not.  The studies stink, and we are not really sure whats good and whats just a great way to separate you from your hard earned cash.  Join me and Mr. Kiran Krishnan, a microbiologist and Chief Scientific Officer at Physicians Exclusive as we talk about everything you need to know (and what is known and what is not) about probiotics!

We will end the show with Ask Doctor Ira, where you can ask me any medical question on any topic at all: anything that you forgot to ask your doctor ask me!  Give me a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS or send me a tweet!
