This episode is for parents looking for alternative solutions to common childhood ailments like constipation, eczema, chronic ear infections, allergies, ADHD and more. Prescription and over the counter medications are routinely prescribed for these conditions, but this is a “band-aid” approach and doesn't get to the root cause. Our guest is Jessica Pawlicki, a board-certified nurse practitioner credentialed through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. She is trained in functional medicine and an active member of the American Holistic Nurses Association. She is the owner of Well-Rooted Pediatrics and her passion is empowering parents to find their voice while finding the root cause of their child's symptoms.  We learn: Prescriptions and over-the-counter medications are a band-aid approach to childhood ailments, often have side effects and do not address the root cause Parent-led care empowers parents to make informed decisions about their children's health and treatment options Alternative solutions for constipation (why you may not want to use Miralax long-term!)  Causes of chronic ear infections (getting to the root cause and avoiding tubes!) The link between eczema and gut health Possible root causes of ADHD and solutions to improve symptoms Natural solutions for teething and fevers  Solutions for environmental allergies (other than OTC meds) and why long-term use of Flonase isn't safe Why waiting to feed babies solids until 6 months is preferred and when to introduce grains for optimal gut health Connect with Jessica: https://www.instagram.com/wellrootedpediatrics/ https://wellrootedpediatrics.com/ Thank you for listening to our show.

Did you know there is more to constipation than “not getting enough fiber” and a lot more to constant sinus congestion than “seasonal allergies?” If you have heard either of these or similar phrases from medical professionals and wondered what else you can do to help alleviate some of the symptoms or even eradicate them completely, you are going to love today’s podcast. While we focused on gut health primarily, since the gut is the center of most autoimmune and inflammatory responses, once Wendi and I began chatting, we covered a lot more than just the gut! You probably already know that my two boys suffer from food sensitivities, one from dairy and the other gluten. In both cases, I took matters onto my own hands and made the decision to change their diets, despite their pediatrician assuring me that one had common allergies and the other had chronic constipation, both being “very normal” among kids. The changes in their health, behavior, and other symptoms have been noteworthy, and when the culprit ingredient sneaks in, I am able to see the effect on my children right away. Today, I am delighted to bring in Wendi Combs. Wendi is a nurse and health practitioner at Jubilee Health, a private practice in the Atlanta area. She is a mom of two girls, a pediatric nurse of over 20 years, and a passionate advocate of helping kids thrive. She helps parents in the journey of wellness for their children. From runny noses to Autism, she loves helping parents find a more holistic approach to caring for their family. Her journey began when her daughters, Ansley and Lucy, experienced health issues at an early age. Through that, she discovered the beauty and effectiveness of natural remedies, and she became very passionate about guiding others who want to be a part of treating issues in children with a more holistic approach. If you have always wondered how many of us cure our children with food, in today’s podcast you will learn a few tips on how to take the first few steps yourself. For more information about Wendi’s practice or to book an appointment online with her, visit Jubilee Health.org. This Book, Cure Your Child with Food: The Hidden Connection Between Nutrition and Childhood Ailments is a must buy. If your child is suffering from chronic autoimmunity, allergies, food intolerances, and other diseases, this book will change your and your child’s life.   

Host Dana Laake and her special guest Kelly Dorfman will be discussing the hidden connections between children's diets and common childhood ailments.
