The First 1,000 Days: Exploring the Infant Gut Microbiome with Tiny Health
Speakers
Emily Cerda, CNS, LDN, NBC-HWC
The first 1,000 days are an important period of development for the infant gut microbiome and immune system. This webinar will explore how the infant gut microbiome develops, factors that may shape microbial patterns, and research examining associations between the early microbiome and conditions including eczema, allergies, asthma, and colic.
The Tiny Health team will also introduce the Gut Health Test and PRO Gut Health Test, review the types of information these tests provide, and discuss considerations for interpreting microbiome findings in the context of an individual child and family. The session will conclude with a live Q&A.
Who should attend: Pediatricians, OB-GYNs, midwives, functional medicine practitioners, dietitians, and other providers working with expecting and new parents.
