Tiny Health
Tiny Health is the first science-based platform that profiles a mother and baby's microbiomes in the first 1,000 days that is a critical window for the infant's lifelong health. Unfortunately, certain diets, lifestyles and medical interventions (while life-saving) have unintended consequences by disrupting the natural colonization of an infant's gut microbiome in early life. This potentially contributes to chronic diseases such as eczema, food allergies, asthma, type I diabetes, and obesity later in life, which affects hundreds of millions of people globally.
