THANK YOU for joining me on my mission to revolutionize the future of children’s health!

kids shouldn't have a chronic disease.

1 in 10

kids shouldn't have ADHD.

1 in 5

kids shouldn't have eczema.

autoimmunity shouldn't be rising faster in teens than any other age group.

As an integrative pediatrician and pediatric functional medicine expert, and most importantly a mom to 2 thriving kids, my goal with Healthy Kids, Happy Kids is to show you and your kids that thriving is possible – even in our modern, ultra-processed world!

The magic is in the microbiome

After reading Healthy Kids, Happy Kids, you know that your child's gut microbiome holds the key to healthy, happy bodies, brains and immune systems.

When you learn how to create Microbiome Magic, you learn how to create resilience for a lifetime!

The Gut Hero principles in Healthy Kids, Happy Kids are simple and doable – as a mom, I wouldn't have it any other way.

But simple is NOT always EASY.

And when you and your kids know the WHY, it's so much easier to implement the HOW.

Which is why it was so important to me as a pediatrician, to give you the SCIENCE – with over 500 references showing you and your family why it's time to live like Gut Heroes.

You know as well as I do, It's not enough to tell your kids (or insert partner, grandparents, teachers, etc.) to do something because it's "healthy" for you. Having the research for each of my recommendations makes it so much easier to get your whole family on board!

My Reference Guide is here to provide you and your family with the confidence that my recommendations in Healthy Kids, Happy Kids are mom-approved, pediatrician-backed, and rooted in science.
