Your child's health isn't just shaped in the womb. It starts with your microbiome before conception, and that includes fathers.

Nearly 1 in 2 kids today has a chronic health condition, and the research increasingly points to the same root system: the gut.

This conversation covers how a baby's microbiome is shaped before birth, why antibiotics in the first months of life carry outsized downstream risk, and what parents can actually do about it, whether their child was born by C-section, wasn't breastfed, or already had rounds of antibiotics for ear infections. Dr. Song also unpacks prebiotics vs. probiotics vs. postbiotics, the vagus nerve's role in gut-brain communication, why fermented foods may beat fiber for microbiome diversity, and the five daily habits she calls "Microbiome Magic." Parents will walk away with a clear, practical framework for restoring their child's gut health at any age, plus what to look for on a food label that's quietly working against it.

Harvey had never been to school. At 10 years old, extreme sensory-seeking behaviours, licking, biting, and screaming, made it impossible. Two weeks later, that changed.

Erinn breaks down exactly who she treats and why she starts so young. Her practice sees children from age 3 to 16, but she also works with infants as young as 0 to 2, including babies diagnosed with HIV at birth and children with cerebral palsy, because the earliest years are when the brain has the most capacity to adapt.

A nonverbal child can't tell you they need glasses. They can't tell you they're anxious. This device can.

In this clip, Erinn Askin demonstrates the dry-cap qEEG helmet used in her clinic, a device that combines brain wave mapping with photobiomodulation and takes just six minutes to run.

Sixty years ago, scientists were trying to regrow hair on rats using red and near-infrared light. What they found instead changed the future of brain therapy.

Erinn Askin explains how transcranial photobiomodulation was accidentally discovered when researchers noticed decreased ADHD-like symptoms in the rats they were studying, and how the field has grown from there. She also breaks down BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor).

Could shining light on a child's head help rewire a struggling brain?

That's the question at the center of today's conversation. Erinn Askin, MA, OTR/L, is a pediatric occupational therapist, the creator of NeuroAdaptive Therapy™, and founder of OTEIM (Occupational Therapy Empowering Individual Minds). Erinn joins Dr. Murray Clarke and Bryce Wylde to break down photobiomodulation, the use of specific light wavelengths to energize brain cells at the mitochondrial level, and why she believes it's changing outcomes for kids with autism, ADHD, developmental delay, and sensory processing challenges.

This conversation goes beyond behavioural labels into the biology underneath them: mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, retained primitive reflexes, and BDNF (often called "fertilizer for the brain"). Erinn explains how her own daughter's severe ADHD led her to pioneer this work, walks through what a QEEG brain map reveals that a standard evaluation can't, and shares real outcomes from OTEIM's intensive therapy model, including a nonverbal child who is now keeping pace in the fifth grade.

Could your child’s eczema be a sign of something deeper going on inside the body? In this episode of The First Seven Years, Joy McCarthy joins Dr. Murray and Bryce Wylde to unpack the powerful connection between gut health, skin health, and early childhood development. Joy McCarthy is a certified holistic nutritionist, bestselling author, founder of Joyous Health, and author of The Eczema Healing Guide.

In this conversation, she explains why eczema is often more than a surface-level skin issue, how the gut microbiome influences inflammation and immune balance, and what parents can do to support healthier skin from the inside out. In this episode, you’ll learn about the gut-skin connection, how pregnancy and early feeding may shape a child’s microbiome, which foods and ingredients may aggravate eczema, and why “less is more” when it comes to skincare for babies and kids. Joy also shares practical guidance on probiotics, food rotation, clean products, and simple ways to help parents feel more empowered instead of overwhelmed.

We cover how vaginal birth versus C-section delivery affects microbiome colonization, what to eat and avoid during pregnancy to support your baby's gut, why fragrance and laundry detergent matter more than most parents realize, and what actually happens when a child raised on whole foods is exposed to refined sugar.

Joy McCarthy joins Dr. Murray and Bryce Wylde to break down what's actually happening when a child develops eczema, cradle cap, or chronic skin conditions. We cover how the gut microbiome directly controls skin health, why topical treatments fail to address root causes, what "gentle" and "natural" baby product labels are hiding, and how what a mother puts on her skin during pregnancy affects her unborn child.

Your four-year-old's meltdowns, your seven-year-old's anxiety before tests, your own brain fog every morning. What if the common thread is sitting in your pantry right now?

Liana breaks down why hidden seed oils in dressings, sauces, and packaged snacks are likely causing far more damage than parents realize, why children absorb three times as much per pound of body weight as adults, and why you don't have to overhaul everything overnight to start seeing results. The staged approach she outlines is practical, momentum-building, and designed for real family life. Start with what your kids eat most. Swap that first. Let the results do the convincing.

Every cell in your body is only as healthy as the fat surrounding it. Are you feeding it the right kind?

Your cell membranes are the gatekeepers of everything that enters and exits each cell in your body. Get the fat wrong, and the membrane breaks down, mitochondria get compromised, and inflammation takes hold. Get it right, and every system in the body runs the way it was designed to.

What if your child's anxiety, ADHD, or behavioural outbursts aren't a diagnosis problem, they're a nutrition problem?

In this episode, Dr. Murray Clarke, Bryce Wylde and Liana Werner-Gray make the case that neuroinflammation driven by the wrong dietary fats is one of the most underexplored contributors to the rise in childhood anxiety, spectrum disorders, and neuroatypical conditions. And the fix is more straightforward than the pharmaceutical industry wants you to believe. If your child is struggling with anxiety, focus, or behaviour, and you haven't looked at what they're eating, this episode is where you start.

What's actually in your baby's formula, and is it doing more harm than good?

In this episode, Dr. Murray Clarke, Bryce Wylde and Liana Werner-Gray tackle one of the most overlooked crises in infant nutrition: seed oils in baby formula.

What does it actually take to raise a child who stays healthy, strong, and active for life? According to fitness expert Brent Bishop, it comes down to one word: modelling.

Brent's practical takeaways for parents who want to start today: pick one movement ritual this week, a morning stretch together, a post-dinner walk around the neighbourhood, and stack it onto something you already do. Do five squats while you make breakfast. Do push-ups against the counter after you brush your teeth.

This is the episode that ties it all together and sends every parent away with something they can actually do today.

You don't brush your teeth for five hours once and expect healthy teeth. So why do we treat our children's nutrition any differently?

Fitness expert Brent Bishop brings the same principle that drives his fitness philosophy: consistency over intensity, directly into the conversation about what kids eat, drink, and supplement every single day.

From sneaking spinach into smoothies to making grocery shopping a family activity. Brent breaks down practical, immediately usable strategies for building healthy eating habits in kids who are picky, resistant, or just not interested.

Build the habits now, in the first seven years, and they won't be exceptions. They'll be the norm.

What if your child's focus problems, anxiety, and sleep struggles all have the same root cause and the fix takes less than five minutes?

Fitness expert Brent Bishop breaks down the science of how exercise actually affects a child's brain: increased oxygen and blood flow, and a flood of neurotransmitters that simultaneously improve focus and decompress the nervous system. Even just ten minutes of movement before a math test has been shown to increase attention and decrease anxiety.

This episode is the practical playbook every parent needs for calmer, more focused, better-sleeping kids.

Fitness expert Brent Bishop shares one of the most practical and immediately usable insights for parents of resistant kids: movement has to be interest-driven. And if your child won't leave the screen, the answer isn't to fight the screen, it's to bring what's on the screen into the real world.

From mom-and-baby fitness programs that build bonding and modeling from day one, to cardboard workout cards made with a 5-year-old, to backyard obstacle courses inspired by your kid's favourite character. Brent breaks down how creative, play-based movement in the early years builds the motor skills, core strength, and active habits that last a lifetime.

90% of fitness is mental. That applies to your kids, too. This episode gives you the tools to work with their mind, not against it.
