0:25.9	Today I spoke with Dr. Alisa's song all about kids' gut health.
0:30.2	She's a very qualified person to speak on this topic.
0:33.7	She's a conventional medical doctor trained at Stanford, NYU, UCSF, and has done a tremendous job integrating natural therapeutics into a pediatric model.
0:46.4	So for those parents out there who want to optimize their gut health or their child's gut health and reap all of the benefits that are metabolic and neurological

2:18.6	Well, you know, it really is something I feel to be so crucially important because, and I think we discussed this last time, sort of at the start of the last discussion, if you map out a small change in gut health over the course of a child's life, the trajectory, the impact is so massive.
2:25.3	Learning issues in, or behavioral issues in their, you know, kindergarten, elementary, middle school, and the psychological impact that can have on a kid is viewing themselves as someone
