Disclaimer: it’s important to do your own research, speak to your healthcare provider, and make decisions that are best for you and your family. This is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice. Trying to access trusted kids’ health advice can seem daunting and overall defeating. We, parents, have the best intentions for our children yet we are bombarded with fear-based messaging that cause unnecessary stress rather than feelings of empowerment and optimism. On this very special episode of the Baby Steps Nutrition Podcast, Argavan speaks with Dr. Elisa Song, a Stanford, NYU and UCSF-trained holistic pediatrician who founded Whole Family Wellness in California, one of the first and most highly regarded holistic pediatric practices in the country as well as Healthy Kids Happy Kids, an online resource for trusted holistic pediatric advice. Dr. Song incorporates conventional pediatrics with functional medicine, holistic nutrition, homeopathy, acupuncture and much more. Argavan and Dr. Song discuss why integrative medicine is the gold standard of care, the health issues that were exacerbated during the pandemic and beyond, how to access credible and helpful health information and diving deep into autoimmunity and chronic illness. An absolute must listen for everyone!
