    Hi John and Mark,

    I have been interested in both of your research for some time now (I am a facilitator of the Vermont Healthy Food in Health Care Network and had the privilege of seeing both of you speak in the past few years).

    I recently gave birth to my first child–while our intentions were to have a natural birth with minimal medical interventions, I ended up being administered multiple rounds of antibiotics throughout a long labor that finally resulted in a c-section. As you can imagine, I am concerned about both my and my son’s microbiome. I am exclusively breastfeeding and eating kimchi/kombucha while supplementing with probiotics. I am wondering if you can point me towards resources (or a practitioner) to help me understand how best to support our collective microbiomes, and also help me navigate the confusing world of probiotic supplements. Any help would be much appreciated!
