This week I welcomed Elisa Song, MD on my show to talk about the key to raising resilient kids from the inside out, which is the subject of her new book, Healthy Kids, Happy Kids: An Integrative Pediatrician's Guide to Whole Child Resilience. Dr. Song is a leading expert in pediatric integrative and functional medicine, and through her extensive research and more than 25 years of clinical experience, she highlights the pivotal role of the gut microbiome in shaping lifelong wellness.
Join us as we explore practical steps to optimize your child’s microbiome, educate and empower them to make healthy choices, and address the root causes of chronic health concerns. Dr. Song's approach bridges the gap between conventional and holistic pediatrics, providing parents with a thoughtful and comprehensive roadmap to navigate the complexities of modern parenting.
From nurturing gut health to embracing natural therapies, Dr. Song equips parents (and kids!) with the tools they need to raise healthy, happy kids. Dr. Elisa Song, MD is a Stanford-, NYU-, UCSF-trained integrative pediatrician, pediatric functional medicine expert, and mom to 2 thriving children - and she is on a mission to revolutionize the future of children’s health. In her integrative pediatric practice, she’s helped 1000s of kids get to the root causes of their health concerns and empowered parents to help their children thrive.
