The first 1,000 days of life represent a remarkable period of growth and development. During this time, nutrition, the gut microbiome, and the maternal environment work together to help shape health outcomes that may extend far beyond infancy.
In this fascinating webinar, Antony Haynes explores the crucial connections between maternal nutrition, early microbial colonisation, and lifelong health foundations. Attendees will discover how the infant microbiome develops from birth and why this complex microbial ecosystem is increasingly recognised as an important contributor to immune, digestive, and metabolic development.
The webinar will examine the many factors that influence microbiome establishment during early life, including maternal health, mode of birth, infant feeding practices, antibiotic exposure, and the surrounding environment. Special attention will be given to the role of maternal nutrition before and during pregnancy, and how key nutrients can help support both maternal wellbeing and healthy infant development.
Emerging research highlights the potential importance of nutrients such as DHA, probiotics, prebiotics, and other dietary factors that influence microbial balance during this critical stage of life. Through a structured and evidence-based approach, attendees will gain practical insights into the nutritional principles that help support healthy growth, development, and future resilience.
Ideal for healthcare practitioners, nutrition professionals, and anyone interested in early-life health, this webinar offers a compelling exploration of how today's nutritional choices may help influence tomorrow's health outcomes.
