I became a different kind of doctor when I became a mom. Suddenly I wasn’t just reading the studies; I was the parent lying awake, replaying symptoms, wondering what I was missing. I learned that a parent’s instinct is clinical data. When a mother tells me “something is off,” I don’t reassure her out of the room. I start investigating.
That’s also why I trained beyond conventional pediatrics — lifestyle medicine, nutrition, integrative medicine, functional medicine, the GAPS protocol — because the tools that resolve chronic childhood conditions often live upstream of the prescription pad.
I don’t practice instead of modern medicine. I practice all of it: evidence-based medicine, nutrition, the environment, traditional wisdom, modern advanced testing, and common sense.
