Key Takeaways
- Fermented foods are important to keep the microbiome in your gut healthy.
- Moms have power. Moms make a difference in their children’s health. That power starts with knowledge.
- For new babies born during the pandemic who are not getting enough exposure to germs because they are stuck indoors, share your own germs with them. Kiss, touch, play in the dirt, expose them to soil. If you have a small pod, that helps, too!
Actionable Solution
How to Practice Preventative Methods to Keep Your Children Healthy.
- STEP ONE: Support their gut health which is the heart of the immune and nervous systems.
- Take a probiotic and start incorporating fermented foods. Focus on whole foods, cruciferous veggies, onions and garlic.
- STEP TWO: Take supplements to build immunity and cellular resilience.
- Vitamin D for overall health. Normal Vitamin D blood level is 20-100ng/ml. Babies: 400 IU per day. Adults: 1000 IU per 25lbs of body weight, cap at 5000 IU.
- STEP THREE: Fill up on Zinc. You can find it in animal proteins, pumpkin seeds, shellfish, or take a supplement.
Hardest Decision to Make as a Mom
- The most frightening experience she’s ever had as a mom is when her children both had COVID at the beginning of the pandemic. In March there was little information out. Both children had different symptoms. Her son was hospitalized and it was really scary.
