I'm joined by Dr. Stephanie Culler from Persephone Biosciences, to uncover how your baby's gut microbiome is built from pregnancy through the toddler years and why it may influence everything from allergies and eczema to sleep, immunity, and lifelong health. We dive into what parents can do before conception, during pregnancy, at birth, and beyond to help build a healthier foundation for their children. Plus, how vaginal versus C-section birth affects the baby's gut microbiome and what you could do to support it either way, as well as how to best support your child through antibiotics. 

Stephanie Culler, Ph.D., is the co-founder and CEO of Persephone Biosciences, where she is pioneering microbiome-based medicines to transform human health. She is the lead author of the My Baby Biome study, the largest U.S. study to profile the infant gut microbiome, and her work spans applications from infant health to oncology. Stephanie earned her Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology and has authored more than 20 scientific publications and patents.

I’m breaking down why an "unexplained infertility" diagnosis doesn't mean you can't get pregnant, it simply means conventional medicine hasn't found the real root cause yet.
