Join us as we talk with Lauren Wright, founder of The Natural Nipple and CoCreate, and a pioneering nurse practitioner and scientist, who shares her insights on how breast milk shapes the immune system, the surprising risks of formula feeding, and how microbiome science could redefine fertility. Key Takeaways from Today’s Episode: -Breast milk isn’t just nutrition—it delivers tailored immune protection through “crosstalk” between baby and mother. -Standard bottles may lead to choking and poor development due to improper milk flow rates—especially in preemies. -Your microbiome could hold the key to extending your fertility window and delaying menopause. Questions We Answer in This Episode: -Is formula feeding disrupting infant immune development and costing billions in preventable diseases? -Can microbes actually influence how long women stay fertile? -What’s the science behind “the third boob”—and how is it changing bottle feeding forever?
