As moms, we want to do everything we can to help our kids prevent sickness and feel better faster, which is why I'm thrilled to welcome a very special guest today, Dr. Elana Roumell, a renowned pediatric naturopathic doctor, mother of three, and the brains behind the innovative Med School for Moms. Dr. Roumell not only co-hosts the popular Doctor Mom Podcast, but she's also the founder of Nourish Medical Center in San Diego, California. Her Doctor Mom Membership program helps moms feel calm, competent, and confident when their kid gets sick, and ultimately helps parents feel empowered with their family's healthcare decisions. In today's episode, we delve deep into the world of children's health, exploring holistic and homeopathic remedies. Dr. Roumell shares her expert knowledge on treating common childhood conditions, like ear infections, with natural methods by helping parents understand their causes. We discuss the different types of natural medicine, their roles, and easy home hacks – particularly in managing fevers and colds without traditional medication. A topic that has been a source of anxiety for me and many moms, especially in states with mandates, is vaccines. Dr. Roumell provides incredibly helpful insights into vaccine education, including delayed schedules and strategies to prevent adverse reactions. She also emphasizes the importance of informed dietary choices during illness, particularly avoiding sugar and dairy, and even shares her top recommendations for pediatric supplements to enhance immune response and gut health. I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Roumell for sharing her expertise and for her unwavering advocacy in the realm of pediatric healthcare. Her dedication to empowering parents is truly inspiring. If you're eager to learn more and feel empowered in your role as a parent, I highly encourage you to explore Dr. Roumell's course.
