Today, I talked about something that's really close to my heart - how our immune system and brain development are connected, especially in kids. You know what's crazy? About one in three kids these days isn't developing quite the way they should, and as a mom and doctor, that really gets me thinking. 

n this episode, we also talked about stress (because who isn't stressed these days, right?), and how it affects both parents and kids. When we're stressed, it actually changes how blood flows to our brain, which impacts everything from how we handle emotions to how we make decisions. But here's the good news - it's never too late to make changes that can help our brains work better.

Whether you're thinking about having kids someday, expecting a little one, or already in the parenting trenches, this episode is packed with practical tips to help create the best environment for your child's brain to thrive. And remember, small changes can make a big difference - we just need to take that first step!

The best part? You don't need a medical degree to understand this stuff. It's all about making small, meaningful changes that can help our kids (and us!) feel and function better. Because at the end of the day, isn't that what we all want for our families?
