In summary:
1. Optimize intake of nutrition (unprocessed local, whole food), hydration, sleep.
Can add vitmain C and echinacea as supplement.
2. Optimize microbiome, inclusing feeding good bacteria in gut (fruits and veggies, i.e. asparagus, leeks, banana, seaweed, garlic, onions, good fiber. Introduce slowly), slow starches (white rice is fast starch, slow like beans, oats, barley, lentils), fermented food (yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, good probiotics, can introduce slowly).
3. Cut off inflammation food, esp added sugar. Vegetable oil and seed oil could increase inflammation too
4. Nerve system and stress management: Give unstructured time to let relax and better mental health. Regulating adults for better nerve systems for kids.

Amazing podcust and I'm so glad I found your channel!

Another topic to discuss is how to keep our kids healthy in our society. Any social activities, gatherings come with unhealthy foods. It's every day struggle: at school, play dates, any meetings, play grounds etc.

While trying to keep my child healthy I don't want her to feel that she's alone in it. I don't have many like minded people around me. I definitely see that it works, my child is barely getting sick. But I don't want her to feel anxious and excluded in it.
