What about vinyl flooring like Duralux that is Greenguard Gold certified for low emissions and free of ortho-phthalate plasticizers?

Here are some things I have been trying. To me, it seems there is a loss of microbial function for many people that is contributing to metabolic disfunction. Prebiotics and synbiotics can be used in combination with…
This is another positive results using human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), which I'd consider a prebiotic https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S193131282... They used EVC001, a robust strain of B. infantis…

BPA has been shown to be absorbed transdermally [1]. Patagonia was recently found to have high levels of BPA, along with other brands [2]. Bluesign and Oeko-tex certifications test for BPA. You can find recycled…

Recently, a combination of b. infantis EVC001 and HMOs was used to stably reverse dysbiosis in adults [1]. I take that probiotic, sold as Evivo in the US, and Layer Origin 2’FL HMO and use it with my children. 1.…
I believe you mean sanitize, not sterilize. Probiotics can be applied to mitigate undesirable bacterial growth after sanitizing [1]. 1. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7350316/
I've breastfed multiple children with ups and downs of it being easy and hard, suffered through the struggle of learning to do it the first time as postpartum mother after major surgery, through teething, latch issues,…
> you've never been a mother who can't produce milk for her child That's your assumption. You're missing the point, which is that you can supplement formula with both 2'FL and b. infantis and get immune system outcomes…
I do an unlimited screen time approach (this is a misnomer; most parents using this approach have some kind of limits). I limit content (especially content that seems to give a dopamine hit like unboxing videos and…
I’m not sure what you take away from that meta analysis, but to me it does not seem to be about diversity as much as which groups of bacteria are associated with general improved health outcomes and disease. If you have…
From the publication, their diet "includes foraged tubers, berries, honey, and hunted animals."[1] Their microbiome is more diverse, with "23.4% of microbial species detected in the Hadza infants represent[ing] novel…
The IMPRINT study has given us a lot of information using shotgun metagenomic sequencing of longitudinal fecal samples: https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(21)00660-7 There seem to be windows where bacterial…
This article conflates diversity with gut health. It has not been proven that more diversity is necessarily better[1]. In fact, in infants a less diverse b. infantis dominant environment is probably advantageous[2]. If…
The line from that article is a poor interpretation of that study. The study says, "Psychosocial stress may affect the composition of breast milk via several pathways." If I'm reading it correctly, a single sample was…
For dental caries, 6-10 grams per day [1]. Most adults can tolerate 40g. Diarrhea is a concern at 45g for children and 100g for adults. If you introduce it gradually into your diet, it should not be a problem. 1.…
It is my understanding (from reading Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye) that bacteria is seeded from primary caregivers in the first year of life, and it can be difficult to modify them after this, but it’s possible. My sister…
Xylichew uses birch and beech resin and has a gum base free of plastic. To ensure I get an effective amount of xylitol, I use crystals in my tea and coffee. My child eats them with a spoon. Health Garden is one of the…
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) was made available in the US in 2011. It’s highly sensitive for detecting down’s syndrome. Self pay is now 100-300 USD but a few years ago I think it was as much as 3000. It’s fully…
I have a newborn and toddler. For the first, things were chaotic with the learning curve. The most mundane things, like getting the baby in the carseat to run an errand, felt overwhelming. Before the baby, I worked, ate…
IMO, the biggest risk is infant exposure. Infants are exposed to more micro plastics than adults [1]. Bottle fed babies may be exposed to over 1.5 million particles of microplastics per day on average [2]. We avoid…
Breastfeeding and sleep aren’t mutually exclusive.
Are women really so limited that they can only identify with role models that look like them?
