In this episode, I sit down with Madeline Lauf, founder and CEO of Begin Health, to talk about the foundational role of gut health in early childhood. We explore how the microbiome influences long-term well-being and simple, effective ways to support digestive health in young children—without overcomplicating it.
We also discuss:
Why gut health is essential
The importance of making and eating real food - and how it’s sadly undervalued in our culture today
The difference between prebiotics and probiotics (and why kids need both)
How small, daily habits—like adding prebiotics—can make a lasting impact
The story behind Begin Health and how their science-backed approach is helping families build lifelong wellness
If you're curious about how to support gut health for your little ones—or even yourself—this conversation is full of practical, research-backed insights.
