GP Gillian Jackson joins me to discuss the importance of gut health in children and how early dietary habits can shape their future health. She explains the connection between gut health and overall well-being and provides practical tips for us on how to foster healthy eating habits. We touch on the impact of processed foods, and the benefits of involving children in meal prep. I found this conversation really encourages us to keep nutrition simple and focus on whole foods to support our children's health.
