“The key is a personalized approach to your child.”
I know keeping our kids, our families, and ourselves healthy during this pandemic has been a top priority. It’s also been overwhelming at times to figure out how to do that. I am delighted I got to interview an expert in children’s and family health to teach us the best ways to do this.
Dr. Song is a Stanford-, NYU-, UCSF-trained holistic pediatrician. She founded Whole Family Wellness (formerly Whole Child Wellness), an integrative pediatric practice in Belmont, CA – one of the first and most highly regarded holistic pediatric practices in the country. She created Healthy Kids Happy Kids – dedicated to empowering parents to take charge of their kids’ health … naturally! She is a holistic pediatrician, integrating conventional pediatrics with functional medicine, holistic nutrition, homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and essential oils. She is also a lecturer for the Center for Education and Development in Clinical Homeopathy (CEDH), Academy for Pain Research, Institute for Functional Medicine, and Holistic Pediatric Association, among others.
This conversation is full of so many excellent tips, resources, and advice, I encourage you to listen all the way to the end to get all of Dr. Song’s recommendations. We can create good health, even in a pandemic.
