The Microbiome and Early-Life Health

In this educational video, Dr. Jan Knol, a microbiologist, explores the fascinating world of the infant gut microbiome and its essential role in shaping lifelong health. The presentation dives into how birth mode, diet, and early-life interventions impact microbial colonization, focusing particularly on C-section born infants. Dr. Knol shares valuable research on how early microbiome development influences immunity, metabolism, and gut maturation.

What Healthcare Professionals Will Learn

This session provides healthcare professionals with:

• An in-depth understanding of the microbiome’s role in early-life development.

• Scientific insights into the differences between C-section and vaginally delivered infants.

• Evidence-based strategies for supporting healthy microbial colonization through nutrition.

• Key findings from multiple clinical studies showing how synbiotic interventions—combining prebiotics and probiotics—can promote gut health and reduce immune-related symptoms in infants.

By learning from nature and human milk composition, Dr. Knol demonstrates how nutritional innovation can restore microbiome balance and support long-term health outcomes.
