Raising healthy, happy kids shouldn’t be so hard. Yet despite living in a golden age of medicine, our children are sicker than ever. At least 1 in 5 kids has eczema, and 1 in 10 has asthma, ADHD, or anxiety—and sometimes they have all of the above. Many parents are at a loss for who to turn to for trusted advice—advice that takes a root-cause, holistic approach to whole child wellness, but doesn’t dismiss the value of conventional pediatrics.

She is that rare practitioner who can bridge the gap between conventional and holistic pediatrics and deliver this comprehensive, evidence-based, yet simple roadmap to raising resilient kids in our modern, not-so-simple world.

Optimize your child’s microbiome with 5 simple steps. Empower your kids so they want to make healthy choices (and you don’t have to nag). Learn how to heal your child’s gut to get to the root cause of their chronic health concern. Use safe and effective natural therapies when your kids are sick with an A-to-Z guide to the top 25 acute childhood ailments.
