Today we are talking about the connection between strep infections, autoimmunity, and your child's developing brain.

Many parents dismiss strep as something "every kid gets," but I want to change that perspective. What starts as a simple bacterial imbalance (dysbiosis) in your child's gut can cascade into chronic inflammation, stress chemistry, and eventually autoimmunity. All of which directly impact brain health and development.

While reviewing lab work and we see dysbiosis in stool tests, we're looking at an imbalance in gut bacteria that should contain many different species. This imbalance doesn't just affect digestion – it's the beginning of a chain reaction that can alter how your child's immune system responds and how their brain functions.
