About this course

It may be that the very start of life is the time that is the most important to your health, for the rest of your whole life. And we’re just now beginning to understand it.

There have been terrific advances in our understanding of the pioneer gut bacteria and the more than 200 prebiotics in breast milk. Many of these bacteria come from the mother’s breast, and the huge array of valuable prebiotics in breast milk is called the glycobiome.

Dawn Whitten is one of the most up to date Naturopaths in this area of Natural Medicine. Her partner, Jason Hawrelak, and herself follow the latest research in this area and she is very excited to be able to share many important new findings and concepts with us.
