Elisa Song: Healthy Kids, Happy Kids
An Integrative Pediatric Guide to Whole-Body Resilience
Why a Child's Microbiome is the Key to Lifelong Health
Want to know the key to raising resilient kids, from the inside out? In this groundbreaking and science-backed guide to raising healthy children in our modern world, Dr. Elisa Song bridges the gap between conventional and holistic pediatrics and provides a clear plan to help children thrive.
Raising healthy, happy children shouldn't be so difficult. But even though we live in a world that should represent the golden age of medicine, our children have never been sicker. At least one in five children has eczema, and one in ten children has asthma, ADHD or anxiety – and sometimes all of the above. Many parents don't know who to turn to for reliable advice—advice that takes a holistic approach to uncovering the sources of children's resilience, but doesn't diminish the value of conventional pediatrics.
Meet Elisa Song, MD, a Stanford, NYU, and UCSF-educated pediatrician, one of the leading scientists and trusted experts in the field of pediatric integrative and functional medicine.
Based on extensive research and more than 25 years clinical experience, Dr. Song explains why a child's gut microbiome is the key to lifelong well-being. He shares with readers his proven and practical plan for building physical and emotional resilience from the inside out. You'll discover how to:
• optimize your kids' microbiome in 5 easy steps
• empower your kids to want to make healthy choices (without you having to nag them)
• heal your kids' guts to uncover the root of their chronic health issues
• stay calm and confident using safe and effective natural therapies when your kids are sick - with an A to Z guide to 25 of the most common acute kids diseases.
Packed with helpful quizzes, exercises, instructions, and dozens of delicious, gut-friendly recipes, Healthy Kids, Happy Kids is a comprehensive yet simple guide to raising resilient kids in our not-so-simple world. Thanks to Dr. Song, parents (and doctors) can finally revolutionize the future of children's health so that children can thrive - no matter what life throws at them.
