111. From womb to world: Inside scoop on how early experiences shape tiny brains


Listen Later

Ever wondered how those little brains wire themselves up? Well, buckle up because neurogenesis and pruning are the rockstars behind the scenes. These processes, happening even before birth and through early childhood, shape a kid's neural connections and pathways. Dr. Laura encourages us to look at the whole picture, from experiences in the womb to those developmental milestones, to truly understand a child's brain wiring.

Dr. Laura breaks down the critical impact of a child's early experiences on their overall health, from their time in the womb to their earliest developmental milestones. It's all about understanding the nitty-gritty of brain wiring and how it shapes your child's future.

She also gets into the nitty-gritty of gut health, immune function, and the potential effects of common infections on kids' health. It's like a crash course in everything you need to know about those little growing brains.

As always, your questions and feedback are invaluable to us, so please feel free to reach out through our website or phone!
