Memorable Moments:
“We are in a state of emergency for children’s mental health.”
“By the time kids are 18, 1 in 2 will be diagnosed with a mental health disorder.”
“When we are talking about our children’s mental health…we always need to look at their guts.”
“Antibiotics given to infants…can significantly increase - by up to 50% - the risk of that child having mental health concerns by the time they are older kids or teenagers.”
“The vast majority of neurotransmitters are made by our gut microbiome.”
“If we do not have a healthy balance of all of these beneficial bacteria that make our neurotransmitters, there’s no way we can have optimal or healthy brain development or brain functioning.”
“One of the single most insidious and persistent and ever-present disruptors are our ultra-processed foods.”
“Not only do these ultra-processed foods affect our gut microbiome, they also affect our kids' brains.”
“It takes only 2 months of a steady diet of ultra-processed foods to change our brain, we can reverse that trend with a steady diet of gut-nourishing, brain-nourishing food.”
“Psychological stress can disrupt your gut microbiome in the matter of an hour.”
“Stress is not necessarily a bad thing.”
“Having no stress may be more stressful and inflammatory to your body and brain than having some stress that you can overcome.”
“When you want your kids to expand their pallets, the best way is to get them cooking.”
