Epigenetics plays a crucial role in understanding how early life environments influence long-term health outcomes. Dr. Susan Prescott, a prominent childhood immunologist, explores how factors like parental lifestyle and exposure to toxins can modify disease risks, leading to conditions such as obesity and diabetes.

The book advocates for a collaborative approach among scientists, policymakers, and the public to promote healthy beginnings and address global health challenges.
