Why Your Child's Allergies, Anxiety and ADHD Might Start in the Gut | Dr. Elisa Song EP26

Nearly 1 in 2 kids today has a chronic health condition, and the research increasingly points to the same root system: the gut.

This conversation covers how a baby's microbiome is shaped before birth, why antibiotics in the first months of life carry outsized downstream risk, and what parents can actually do about it, whether their child was born by C-section, wasn't breastfed, or already had rounds of antibiotics for ear infections. Dr. Song also unpacks prebiotics vs. probiotics vs. postbiotics, the vagus nerve's role in gut-brain communication, why fermented foods may beat fiber for microbiome diversity, and the five daily habits she calls "Microbiome Magic." Parents will walk away with a clear, practical framework for restoring their child's gut health at any age, plus what to look for on a food label that's quietly working against it.
