The Microbiome, Birth Mode, and Your Immune System's Foundation

The foundation of immune health begins at birth — and the mode of delivery matters.

Haylie Pomroy and Dr. Andrew Campbell explain that during vaginal birth, the amniotic fluid contains acidophilus that lines the birth canal and protects the newborn from Candida exposure. The infant's first bacteria, breast milk antibodies, and colostrum oligosaccharides work together to establish a gut microbiome that houses 80% of the human immune system.

Cesarean delivery bypasses this process entirely, with measurable downstream effects on immune function and allergy risk.
