No material on this site is intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. One in four children are at risk of suffering from a chronic illness. Rates of allergies have skyrocketed. Many children do not have bowel movements for days. Can our symptoms be alerting us to the health of our microbiome? On this informative episode of the Baby Steps Nutrition Podcast, Argavan speaks with Vicki Kobliner, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist whose life mission is focused on nutrition, lifestyle and environmental interventions to help children and their families with chronic illnesses overcome challenges to lead happier, healthier lives. Her particular passion is working with families to reduce the risk of having a child with chronic illness through targeted preconception and prenatal health counseling. Argavan and Vicki discuss why chronic illnesses in children are rising and steps parents can take to stem the tide; what our bowel movements are telling us and the importance of regularity; and the importance of a whole foods approach to health and wellness. A highly intellectual conversation for all families!
