Building Lifelong Health from the Inside Out
As a gastroenterologist who has treated thousands of patients with digestive disorders, I've witnessed firsthand the long, often difficult road to restoring gut health. I’m a Yale-trained gastroenterologist and mom of two, helping families understand how the gut microbiome shapes lifelong health—starting from the first 1,000 days of life.
Translating Gut Microbiome Science for Families
From Physician to Mother
My story begins not in a research lab or hospital, but in my own home, where, despite my training as a gastroenterologist, I found myself facing a crisis I was unprepared for. When my second child developed severe food allergies and eczema as an infant, my world tilted on its axis.
As a gastroenterologist who has spent years studying this hidden ecosystem, I've witnessed firsthand how a child's microbiome can predict their future health trajectory, for better or worse.
My forthcoming book, "First 1000 Days," offers an essential guide for parents navigating the critical early years of their child's microbiome development.
