From preconception to toddlerhood and early childhood, there's a lot to consider when deciding to have a baby. Dr. Rhonda Patrick spent many months researching and learning about the myriad factors that would influence her child's development, and she has continued to do so as her son has grown – and as new research has become available. She presents evidence-based recommendations for having a healthy pregnancy and baby, and shares some of her personal decisions and experiences surrounding her pregnancy and parenting. In this Aliquot, Dr. Patrick discusses factors that influence child development before conception, during pregnancy and infancy, and into the toddler and early childhood years.
Aliquot episodes make great companion listening for a long drive. You can find these special members-only episodes alongside live recorded Q&As on The Aliquot, our official premium FoundMyFitness podcast.
