The gut microbiome in the first 1,000 days plays a critical role in human health and lifelong immune development. Existing literature supports that gut dysbiosis in this phase of life can increase the risk of developing inflammatory, immune-mediated, metabolic, and neurological conditions later in life. This webinar will provide a walkthrough of a healthy infant gut microbiome, disrupting factors, and utilization of the Tiny Health Baby Gut Test to restore the infant gut microbiome.
Takeaways:
- Key differences in the Infant and adult microbiomes.
- Healthy gut maturation during the first 1,000 days of life.
- Specific strains of Bifidobacteria that are key to an infant's developing immune system in early life, and how missing
- Bifidobacterium strains present chronic health risks.
- Strategies for restoring the pediatric microbiome during and after antibiotic treatment.
- The risk of probiotic over-supplementation for infants.
