February 11, 2026 90% of Your Child's Brain Chemicals Are Made in Their Gut
What if your child's behavior problems, frequent infections, and immune issues all stem from one overlooked factor in their gut that you can fix naturally?
In this crucial episode, we explore the fascinating world of children's microbiome health with insights that will completely change how you think about your child's nutrition and immune system.
