Maternal Microbiome: Did You Pass an Imbalance to Your Baby During Birth?
May 07, 2024 Season 2 Episode 97

Did you know that while in utero, a babies gut is sterile? They don’t have good bacteria or bad bacteria. During birth, they are exposed to their mother's microbiome when they pass through the vaginal canal. This initial inoculation kickstarts the colonization of the baby's gut with beneficial bacteria, laying the foundation for that child’s immune system and overall health. Unfortunately many of us unknowingly have an overgrowth of bad bacteria, yeast and even parasites that we pass along.

This happened to me and my son. 😔

I had no reason to ever know that my gut was imbalanced. I was so healthy with glowing skin, I have always been a healthy and regular pooper, I crave healthy and nourishing foods, and overall I would have never known I had an imbalance.

Most women who come into my world whose child is suffering from symptoms like eczema, colic, reflux, digestive or sleep issues and even behavioral outbursts are in this same boat. Why and how was your gut imbalanced in the first place? How could it be possible for us to pass an imbalance onto our babies?

In this episode I will teach you everything you need to know. Whether you are dreaming of conceiving, are pregnant or have children - you need to know this information.
