The health destiny of our children is largely determined by what happens during their first three years of life. Food allergies. Eczema. Autoimmune disease. ADHD. Autism. Early-onset cancer. These conditions are rising at alarming rates in younger generations--and emerging science points to a critical, overlooked cause: the gut microbiome, and how it develops in a child's earliest days. In First 1000 Days, Yale-trained gastroenterologist Dr. Savita Srivastava reveals how the trillions of microbes colonizing your baby's gut act as a hidden "super-organ"--one that trains the immune system, shapes metabolism, and influences brain development. And the window to nurture it is narrower than most parents realize: after age three, a child's microbiome is largely set. Drawing on cutting edge research and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Srivastava offers a compassionate, judgment-free roadmap for every family--C-section or vaginal birth, breast milk or formula, antibiotics or without. This is not a book about perfection. It's a book about possibility.--Back cover.
