Mindsip insights from this episode:
Optimize child's gut microbiome to enhance vaccine efficacy
Optimizing a child's gut microbiome before vaccination can improve the vaccine's efficacy and potentially reduce the risk of adverse reactions.
Manage stress to prevent leaky gut within an hour
Unmanaged psychological stress can trigger leaky gut and the release of zonulin within just one hour.
Take Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG to reduce infant allergy risk
Taking the probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG during the third trimester and while nursing can significantly reduce an infant's risk of eczema and asthma.
Address nutrient deficiencies in children for better health
Despite living in an affluent country, 99.9% of children have nutrient deficiencies or insufficiencies, with zinc being the most common.
Address zinc deficiency to improve sensory issues and eating habits
A lack of zinc can cause picky eating by altering taste profiles and amplify sensory issues like sensitivity to sounds and clothing tags.
Personalize vaccine schedules based on genetic risk profiles
The emerging field of 'adverse-omics' studies the genetic profiles that may put someone at higher risk for adverse vaccine reactions, suggesting a need for personalized schedules.
Restore key bacteria in modern breast milk for healthier gut microbiome
The gut microbiome of a breastfed baby today resembles that of a formula-fed baby from 100 years ago due to a loss of key bacteria like Bifidobacter.
Boost happiness by nurturing your gut microbiome
80-90% of the body's serotonin, a key mood-regulating neurotransmitter, is produced by the gut microbiome.
