Preloved: Feeding Our Children: A Comprehensive Guide For Having A Healthy Thriving Child During Their First Thousand Days And Beyond

Feeding Our Children is an essential guidebook for parents and healthcare providers looking for good information on how food and toxic exposures affect children's health, metabolism and brain function.

Written by a pediatric physician with 2 degrees and 30 years of experience in human nutrition, this book takes a Functional Medicine and nutrition-first approach to maximizing the health of the child. Each chapter walks the reader through an important nutritional and developmental stage, from pregnancy through school-age, outlining proper nutrition at each crucial stage of development.

Dr Flass ( a board-certified pediatric gastroenterologist) translates decades of experience in human nutrition, pediatrics and gastroenterology into a definitive and comprehensive resource accessible to both parents and healthcare professionals. It draws upon the latest research and work of leading experts in pediatric nutrition and medicine to provide science-based information that dispels common dietary myths and harmful practices.

This book explains in detail the impact of food on critical areas of pediatric health that have been often overlooked:
The Microbiome (our important probiotic intestinal bacteria)
Epigenetics (the ability of food to turn on genes that code for better health)
Child Neurodevelopment(Which foods help grow and maintain a healthy brain)

There are also chapters on food allergies and intolerances in kids, how to prevent constipation, picky eaters and pediatric feeding disorders, celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, and ways to improve the brain health of the child.

Feeding our Children empowers both parents and healthcare professionals by providing them with the resources, knowledge, and skills to navigate a child's diet through these important early stages of life with confidence.
