The Silent Deficiency Sabotaging Moms' Recovery and Kids' Brain Growth with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson of Fatty15

Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, co-founder of Fatty15 (code:BIOHACKINGBRITTANY) and a leading researcher in nutrition, returns to unpack the groundbreaking science on C:15—an essential fatty acid your pediatrician probably hasn't told you about.

We explore how C:15 impacts everything from your baby's brain development to your own mental clarity while breastfeeding.

We break down the hidden deficiency affecting modern moms, why most baby formulas are missing this crucial nutrient, and how to safely supplement for toddlers and postpartum recovery.

If you're breastfeeding, weaning, or just want smarter tools for your baby's growth and future brain health—this episode is for you.

WE TALK ABOUT:

08:00 - What's new in C:15 research and why it matters for infants

12:40 - C:15 in breast milk vs. formula: Growth and cognition

15:20 - Extended breastfeeding and how to protect your brain from depletion

19:00 - How to check if your child's supplements are safe and actually contain what they say

20:30 - Where C:15 comes from and why vegan-friendly options now exist

28:10 - C:15 for behavioral or cognitive issues in children

35:10 - C:15 deficiency, early-onset diseases, and why Gen Z is at risk

42:10 - C:15 milk showdown: Goat, cow, or buffalo
