Sergio Pecorelli unveils his most recent research studying the environmental impacts on early life, from conception to 24 months. This fascinating talk highlights the critical benefits to lifelong health these first 1,000 days of life have on physical, mental, and emotional health. Sergio Pecorelli received his Medical Degree cum Laude at the University of Pavia, with his residency in OB/ GYN cum Laude at the University of Milano. After that, he completed his Fellowship in Pelvic Surgery at Mayo School of Medicine with a PhD in Gynecologic Oncology Research. His research has focused on female cancer and the implementation of primary and secondary prevention actions. Among other awards, he has received the Gold Medal for Public Health Services from the President of the Republic of Italy. He serves as part of the scientific committee of the Italian Olympic Sports Medicine Federation and is President of the Giovanni Lorenzini Medical Foundation.
He initiated, with an international team, a first-of-its-kind research project, called “The First 1000 days of Life”, aiming at studying 1500 pregnant women, their babies and the fathers of these babies. The study observes environmental influence on future health and wellness of these babies and their future generations. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Wow. Just... wow. There are so many mysteries within the process of our lives.
Indeed, it's important to be open to new experiences and opportunities.
What a great talk on the impact of the environment on early life! Thank you for sharing your research, Dr. Pecorelli.
Your achievements and awards are truly impressive, Dr. Pecorelli. Keep up the great work!
This talk really highlights the importance of a healthy environment during early development.
Your commitment to improving public health and preventing female cancers is truly inspiring.
I now understand why there's a disclaimer at the beginning of this talk. I'm a little wary of connecting Autism with a mother's negative state of mind. We need more studies and information to make this connection.
I agree with you on this one, well said man
one step at a time
I am looking forward to more of these studies if it ever happens
Being hungry or exposed to stress or abuse during this time can have a lifelong effect on a child's development. An unsafe or unhealthy environment in the first 1,000 days can affect a child's physical health in later life too.
good thing there was a disclaimer
We unfortunately do not live in a structured or prioritised enough society to ever hope to offer the majority of any populaton the ability to ensure absolute best practice pre, present or post pregnancy. Would be amazing if we could though!
It is kinda sad that pregnacy practice is not well developed
who did not go through it does not know the struggle
If only they gave it 100% towards it things would be a lot different
Its an undeniable fact
one of the few people that has this kind of mindset
I wish we paid attention to more studies like this, I feel like we are taking less time and care into the facilitation of life these days and it is SHOWING.
Agreed. If it isn't profitable, we don't notice it or spread the message
"Network Wellness" this is a very powerful and intelligent overview that allows a lot of beliefs in. This is worth sharing and I am surprised this hasn't been seen by many more people.
Thanks for sending it to me Alex, took me forever to watch it, but so good!
Agreed! I'll be sharing this with some friends of mine that are currently studying psychology.
brilliant!
i reckon! this is such important stuff!
as am I?
Why is this flagged with a disclaimer, he's not giving bad advice - and for goodness sakes look at this mans credentials??? Good talk worth sharing!!!
seriously crazy, TED has a lot flagged these days for no reason I can see, they must think we are idiots.
@@juanlsalazar well, are we? sorry haha couldnt help myself..
it is an amazing talk.
One of the best talks I have seen!
@@harryduganesq absolutely
I had a very traumatic time during pregnancy with events that were entirely out of my control. Watching this just makes me fret about the impact of this on my child and their future and lost as I can’t undo any of it
An incredibly smart talk that makes so much sense, if you are about to have children, then watch this talk.
Thank you Carey. I believe that all couples that want to conceive should be aware of this and benefit from what Epigenetics is telling us.
Haha Carey, I finally opened your link, yeah this is cool, the bubs on its way, december!!!
the guilt i have always felt for not giving my children the best start. i will show them this so they can do better
Show them and you can heal the next generation too :)
If you are thinking of having children, then this is a must watch!!!
This is perfect, we are planning a family now. What knowledge to have, thank you Sergio!!
Happy to help you! And...good luck!
You really came across the very helpful informative clip. Your baby will be healthy...
it really educative to ,pregnant mothers have to watch this
Such truth in the connection between the inner world of mother, child and birth.
"The brain and our nervous system is sensitive to all our emotions." That pretty much sums it up for me and why so many people are just living numb. Thats what you have to do when life is laid out for you.
I have heard this before and certainly evidence of people who I know bears this out.
Far too many people who do this
Touch is such a powerful thing. I have no doubt that the isolation and social distancing that many experienced over the past 2 years which has reduced our human connectiveness has had a huge psychological impact. And watching this, I wonder how it impacted expectant mothers and their children.
The emotions are our hidden dis-ease stored in the body.
Yep, so true
Music everyday, I am telling my wife (we are expecting) thats amazing!
Excellent, and even better if music is played at 432Hz
@@sergiopecorelli2405 yes I have tried that here on TH-cam and spotify
I have friends who got married and were always fighting then had kids to try and bring themselves together. It never worked and the kids always have issues. Like many others here this should be mandatory viewing for people who want children.
Sadly I have seen this so many times :(
Touch shapes the way! When you think of all the things that bring us together, its usually through emotion and touch.
I fully agree with you. Thank you
@@sergiopecorelli2508 thank you for such a wonderful talk!
never thought about how a simple massage could have such a big impact.
The mention of how even storytelling to the baby in the womb can have positive effects was so heartwarming. It’s kind of wonderful how these small actions matter.
Recently I've read Françoise Dolto and was amazed by a fact that babies can understand everything! And now the breakthrough, babies understand everything in wombs!
sponges from conception it would seem.
Why are we not shown this during our school years? seems so important.
If what he's saying is true my heart breaks for all the children of unwanted pregnancies - I can't imagine how being in the womb of someone who didn't want you for nine months would affect your mental state.
Super interesting perspective on this
I did not think of it like that :(
I get this and absolutely understand it, I can see kids who came from homes where it is drama all the time, and they carry it on.
It's a really vicious cycle
Planning to introduce my little one to the wonders of nature from day one. Fresh air, greenery, and tiny footsteps-because growth happens outdoors too!!
There is no question, that we dont know enough, and the things we do to ourselves do affect our children long before they are born.
isn't that the truth. i dare say more than half our population shouldn't even be having kids!
I was amazed to learn that a mother's stress and anxiety can have such long-term effects on a child's health. Definitely something to be mindful of.
Health is so much more than what our physical bodies are doing and honestly I think that our physical condition really mirrors our spiritual.
This makes me reflect on my time as a young mother and I feel super grateful for all the love and support I received at that time.
This is some of the best research I have ever heard about children, brilliant.
I love what he says about the magic of a hug, I've always thought touch was something people craves and it's really cool to hear that yes, that is a thing!
As an 80s baby who was conceive, grew, born and raised in the culture of that era, I am grateful that we have learnt so much more about pregnancy and there are talks like this readily available for new parents. The damage to my well being, not because of poor parenting but because of lack of understanding at the time, has impacted my life horribly.
me too
i am an 80's baby too
Each kick, every bedtime story-it's incredible to think that these moments sculpt a future. Glad to be aware of this and for the chance to be a sculptor in my child's journey.
This talk made me realize how interconnected we all are. Our actions today can affect future generations.
I saw this talk years ago when my daughter was pregnant and passed it on to her, I actually think there might be something to it because she took it very seriously and her son is the happiest ray of sunshine you've ever seen
It's really cool to see science catching up with certain spiritual philosophies! Interconnectedness is not by any means a new concept but maybe now that there's science to back it up more people will take notice of it.
Not how I viewed the talk, but interesting take away
This is such a smart talk, with something every one who wants a child should see.
One of the most honest talks ever, if you are born from anger, thats the way your life will be.
Profound and important!
As a new mom, this talk resonates deeply. Every kick, every lullaby-it all feels like the building blocks of a beautiful journey. Excited to shape my tiny human's world in the best possible way.
I never realized how important this time was for a child and pre-born. Wonderful work wonderful talk.
Only one word for this talk ::: 'AWESOME' Every parent to be needs this talk!!!
so very true!
So much truth, look at young children from desperate situations, where this abuse, violence and stress, you can see it in them. Brilliant talk.
Thank you Stan. You are right. We should pay much more attention to the environment that surrounds us and that influence so much our health through epigenetics.
I hate to bring it to business, but how true for a business too, how we start it determines how long it works and how well it does.
This talk really made me think about how every little thing we do during pregnancy matters. It’s a bit overwhelming but also empowering.
Why would this talk have a disclaimer? WTF is wrong with TED, guys look at his credentials! This is amazing work by his team, I am sharing this...
thinking the same thing man. thanks for the send.
Me too Fred, good link to share.
Thank you Fred! I was amazed too, but this happens very often when you try to translate edge science into practice for lay public. It’s also one of the reasons why prevention has always been neglected. If I simplify my talk, the message is that lifestyles and behaviors impact most upon our health and well-being, especially if you start even before conception. Simple to be understood, especially if we start teaching it in school! Best! SP
Wonderful talk and so insightful, I don't care what TED says this should be discussed more openly, particularly with new parents.
yes more talks like this, that should be mandatory viewing for want to be parents!
He actually makes so much sense in terms of talking about how much more sensitive we are when we're younger.
I've listened to this talk over and over again to understand how the environment impacts DNA. A must watch.
Thank you Tom! We should try to spread the word in schools....
@@sergiopecorelli2508 thanks for replying to me Sergio, love your talk, and I am watching it again now!
As someone who wanted to do everything to support their partners pregnancy I have to say this is absolutely it. Massages, lullabies, anything she wanted to eat... being active in that support role really mattered to her and I could tell the better I got at it the more at ease and confident she was as well. Our baby is so happy and healthy now and I think that's a pretty good reflection.
This really does explain what happened to many people I know.
I think that we have treated a human life as nothing more than a number for a very long time. There are so many factors that ensure a baby in the belly is healthy and reaches its full potential and it seems like to me we possibly aren't even aware of our full potential because of this!
This blew my mind a little, so like, if we ensured the absolute care of pregnant women, our whole society might be different.
This is so dead on, I got friends that argued all during her pregnancy and their kid is so messed up already at just 6 months. I see this....
This talk just got me, so much truth happens before it happens. Live your life mindful!!!
And remember that many times our behaviors may condition the future of our offsprings.
Thank you for your comment.
@@sergiopecorelli2508 wow thanks for replying sir, really loved your talk. I am honoured.
I'm so into this talk, your cells remember! Your DNA remembers! There is so much more to someone's development than just their brain.
very interesting isnt it
Brilliant work and findings!
The ‘network wellness’ he explains is something that was much needed when the world went into lockdown and isolation. So many needs not met, but this shows there are other ways to maintain wellbeing through other means and balance out the loss of connection and touch.
One of the most in depth talks on early child hood I have ever seen, BRAVO sir.
Thank you!
I've got grandkids now and this talk makes me think about the generational impact of our actions. It's great to see how the focus on early development has evolved over the years because there wasn't that much of it when had kids that's for sure
Hearing about the importance of early life for preventing diseases later on really changes how I think about health.
The education of the emotion, how far we have come in understanding how this impacts the development of a child and the journey through life. Such a good talk.
I totally agree with this man. I've worked in child care for a long time and you can see the difference in the infants and toddlers whose parents clearly put in the time and effort before birth and after... However, I have noticed in my years that those who have had the best start pretty much directly correlates with higher socioeconomic backgrounds... So I wonder, with wages continuing to stay stagnant and the like - how are we meant to make sure the majority are given the opportunity to bring children into this world with the best possible start, when society makes it near impossible...
i legit came here to say pretty much all of this. it's a huge factor.
The connectome's role in our emotions and social relationships struck a chord. It's a reminder of the importance of fostering connections and creating a nurturing environment for our children.
Behaviour and lifestyle lives on through the generations, a talk you must hear.
I'm feeling so lucky hearing all this, my partner makes enough for me to not have to work and I've been so excited for all the DIY opportunities. I can't wait to build a tiny library, crib mobile, paint murals... all the things for my bubba to have a perfect environment 🥰🥰
It's amazing to think how the simple act of touch, like a hug, can have such a profound impact on our hormonal response and social connections.
This talk made me appreciate the small things we do daily that can have a big impact on health. Pretty inspiring stuff.
This whole talk was such a vote of confidence for me. Planning to create a harmonious environment for our little one with music, stories, and all the love we can muster.
I think that this should be shown along side personal health videos in school.... So from a young age we understand just how much goes into creating a life and how fragile it really is
Perhaps one of the finest talks I have heard TED present, Sergio brilliant work!
Thank you Charles!
Agreed Charles.
Learning about the interplay between prenatal experiences and gene expression makes me appreciate the importance of promoting a nurturing and supportive environment for pregnant women. It truly sets the foundation for a healthier society.
I’ve always loved music, and now knowing it can help my wife during her pregnancy just adds another reason to enjoy it.
An awesome talk, one I wish I had seen before my little guy was born.
One of the most important talks ever on parenting....
Very smart talk! Many things that seem so clear, yet never understood.
The emphasis on epigenetics and environmental factors offers a profound understanding of developmental health that I'm very grateful to have found.
One of the best TEDs I have seen on conception and what it means to the child.
With the amount of children we have in foster homes these days I can only imagine how helpful it would be to understand the complexity of all this for future adoptive parents - could really help with holistic approaches in healthcare for these kids.
I remember playing music to my baby bump, and now I'm glad to know it may have contributed to a lower risk of autism. Music truly is powerful.
Thinking about this stuff makes my heart ache for all those babies who spend the first 18 months or so in orphanages just... never being held or cherished. I can't imagine how that impacts the psyche as they grow up.
A beautiful talk, that everyone should listen to, it all begins before we understand it begins. And we all need to be part of making it better.
To think of the things passed down from previous generations... Wow.
My heart goes out to all the babies growing up in war zones or refuge camps surrounded by so much trauma and noise.
Some really interesting stuff here, especially for those who are interested in healing ancestral trauma! I also love that there's a medical term for it.
It should really be common knowledge
I love that you mention ancestral trauma! This is so important to understand and heal
His findings should be taught to young couples wanting children.
Yes! And also in high schools
This is amazing. A very wonderful insights about life.
true!
It’s impressive to see how much research is going into understanding the first 1,000 days of life. Hopefully, it leads to better health outcomes for future generations.
Reflecting on my time as a single dad during those early years. It wasn't always easy, but knowing that those moments shaped my child's future health and well-being makes it all worthwhile. They turned out amazingly and I'm so proud.
In the study of Oneness, the practice of rebirth allows for a return to that time of conception, and in that allows for a chance to free oneself from the chains of a pregnancy that was unwanted, uncared for or simply filled with trauma.
Someone shared this into my early pregnancy group and I'm so grateful! Such great advice here.
One massage is equal to four hours sleep. Guess I'll be off for a massage.
haha me too
Agree with you..
That's right friend, I totally agree
really good hear that........i agree with ti
Me too! I completely agreee
This is really interesting! Truly it's changed the way I perceive being pregnant and just exactly what gets incorporated into the "growing" experience
Pretty cool for you to have found this talk while being pregnant
3rd time I have seen this and passed it friends planning to have families.
Pretty amazing how our early life experiences shape our brain and overall health. Definitely gave me a new perspective.
The womb is the most promising target for prevention! Truth!
The talk reinforces the importance of our environment-air, water, food. Time to make conscious choices for a healthier planet and, by extension, a healthier first 1000 days for our little ones.
AND... this should be taught in every school in America!
One of the most impactful talks I have ever seen, here is the truth, it shouldn't just be the first days, this should be a life long ambition to treat everyone kindly and with respect and emapthy.
I have heard a spiritual explanation which is very similar - and that the nine months of pregnancy is the single most important time of our development.
was thinking the same thing.
