from The Pediatrician Next Door - Simple Advice on Parenting and Family Health · host Redd Rock Music
Is it the C-section? The formula? The antibiotics? Parents often wonder if they’ve messed up their baby’s gut health. In this episode, Dr. Wendy talks with Stephanie Culler PhD, co-founder of Persephone Biosciences, about groundbreaking research on the infant microbiome. You’ll learn why most American babies are missing Bifidobacterium infantis—the bacteria that digest special sugars in breast milk and help build the immune system—and how new science is bringing those microbes back through a product called a “synbiotic.” Purchase Persephone Bloom and Thrive Product now on Peresphone Biosciences website!
