Pediatric health begins in the gut. Much of your child’s immune function and neurotransmitter signaling begins in the gut so maintaining good gut health is integral in child development and immune function. At the end of Dr. Smith’s presentation you will be able to recognize the signs of dysbiosis (obvious and not so obvious), strategies to determine nutritional deficiencies that you can do at home, and natural ways to rebalance and maintain gut health for kids of all ages. This is an online event.
