In this interview from the Goodwood Health Summit, Professor James Kinross discusses practical steps parents can take to support their child’s gut health from the earliest stages of life. He explains why breastfeeding provides a strong foundation, but also reassures that children can thrive without it.
Professor Kinross highlights the importance of avoiding unnecessary antibiotics, encouraging diverse diets, and fostering strong social interactions between parents and children.
Kinross also explores the wider significance of the gut microbiome, describing it as our “internal biodiversity” and drawing parallels with the global climate crisis. With clear links to immune function, brain development and long-term wellbeing, his insights underline why protecting the gut is central to a healthy life.

Stories from the Estate
When we think of health, we often picture our own bodies; what we eat, how we move, how we feel. But our personal wellbeing is inseparable from the health of the world around us. Soil, the most overlooked of ecosystems, is not only the foundation of our food system but also of our collective health system.
Fitness Tips
We’ve all heard the phrase “trust your gut,” but science now tells us that our gut is doing far more than helping us digest food. Deep inside us lives a vast community of microbes – bacteria, fungi, and even viruses - known as the gut microbiome. This hidden ecosystem influences everything from immunity and energy to mood and mental clarity.
Stories from the Estate
Dirt is something we often take for granted, but in truth, the ground beneath our feet is one of the most powerful influences on our health, our food, and our future. Patrick Holden CBE, Founding Director and Chief Executive of the Sustainable Food Trust, has spent decades working to transform the way we grow, produce and consume food. Ahead of this year’s Goodwood Health Summit, presented by Randox Health, Patrick’s message is clear: soil health is public health.
