She explains the process of “seeding and feeding” during birth and breastfeeding, and why these early stages are critical for a child’s lifelong health. Harman also highlights the everyday actions parents can take to support microbial diversity, from diet and sleep to time in nature and contact with pets.
With her new global impact campaign offering free resources and screenings, she emphasises the power of informed choice — encouraging parents to ask better questions, explore the science, and take small steps that can make a big difference for future generations.

Health Summit 2025
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.
