I am thrilled to have Dr. Elisa Song (@healthykids_happykids) on the show, an integrative pediatrician, pediatric functional medicine expert, and mom to 2 thriving children. Elisa is on a mission to revolutionize the future of children’s health. She is a wealth of knowledge regarding childhood nutrition and natural medicine for kids. Her book “Healthy Kids Happy Kids: An Integrative Pediatrician’s Guide to Whole Child Resilience” is my go-to when my kids aren’t feeling well to find the right homeopathic remedy or natural option for what they are going through.
We had an amazing conversation about why kids are sicker today than ever with chronic diseases like asthma, eczema, ADHD, and anxiety. We talk about how healing the gut and microbiome is at the root of many kids’ health issues, the importance of incorporating prebiotics, probiotics, and even postbiotics into the diet, the impact of environmental toxins, and most importantly the impact that processed and high sugar foods have on the immune system and why it’s important to start your kids on real food from a young age.
I am excited for you to listen to this jam-packed episode!
