In this episode of The Beehive, Dr. Blair Rolnick delves into the importance of choline during the crucial first 1000 days of a child’s life, emphasizing its role in brain development and overall health. Choline supports neurotransmitter function, healthy cell membranes, and myelination of nerves, which are essential for cognitive functions and motor skills. 

Dr. Rolnick advises parents to focus on a varied diet to ensure adequate choline intake rather than fixating on specific amounts. If concerns arise, consulting a pediatrician or registered dietitian is recommended. Understanding and ensuring proper choline intake can significantly impact a child’s cognitive and physical development.
