Biohacking with Brittany

Your child’s gut is home to more microbes than there are stars in the Milky Way — and every snack, scrape, and bedtime story shapes which ones stay. In this empowering, science-meets-soul conversation, I sit down with Ara Katz, co-founder of Seed (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), to explore how birth choices, daycare germs, family stress levels, and even the words we use at the dinner table can sculpt your child’s lifelong health.
