Perhaps you feel scared because you have experienced: ➡️Feeling alone and not supported with your medical choices ➡️Doubt not knowing if it’s too early or too late to visit your doctor? ➡️Anxiety talking with your doctor? ➡️Overwhelm choosing what treatments are best for your child? ➡️Confusion about which medicines are safe and effective?

I started this community after witnessing mom after mom after mom bring her little one into my office feeling scared, worried, and overwhelmed. I truly felt for these mamas, so I KNEW I needed to do something more to support and empower then.

Do you find these questions running through your mind often? You’re not alone, even as a Pediatric doctor, I still found myself asking them. Why? Because there is simply not enough information that’s readily available to make informed choices for you family. When my friend @dr.aricalhoun and I started discussing this, we realized that if us as doctors were having trouble finding reliable information, how difficult it must be for everyone. So we have come together to provide you with a free resource to help you make informed choices for your family.

The “silly tip” that can change your life👇 Have you heard of cold wet socks yet?? This trick has helped relieve not only my kids’ fever overnight MULTIPLE TIMES but also hundreds of patients and even more of YOU! (We don’t want to suppress a fever, but this therapy helps aid in the healing process. Read more below!) 👉Using cold wet socks at night is a “folk remedy” that some people believe (I sure do) can help with a variety of health issues such as colds, flu, and fever. 👉The idea behind this remedy is that the coldness of the socks can help increase blood circulation - shunting immune cells throughout the body and getting rid of waste products - and fast! 👉Also, by trapping the cold around your feet, it causes vasoconstriction and then vasodilation, which helps to increase the blood flow and oxygenation in the body, so it can help to relieve a variety of symptoms like fever, congestion, cough, and more. It is simple, safe, and effective! Many call this therapy magic socks. 👉 Directions: Take a pair of thin cotton socks and soak them completely with ice-cold water. Be sure to wring the socks out thoroughly so they do not drip. Place cold wet socks on warm feet (ensure feet are not cold). Cover with thick wool socks. Put the child to bed. Ask them to try to keep the socks on overnight. By morning, the wet cotton socks will be dry. PS- We have a LIVE Immune Workshop coming up on September 21st to equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to keep your kids healthy and strong. It’s free for Doctor Mom Members, and if you’re not yet part of the community you can join us for $27!

🚨 You don’t want mold in your water! 🚨 But first - comment ROTIPS below and I’ll send you info on our RO system from @aquasana (they’re having a HUGE sale right now) as well as another tip for ANY RO system. #sponsored Did you know mold can grow in your reverse osmosis (RO) system if it’s not sanitized regularly? As a naturopathic doctor, I’m all about keeping families healthy, and mold is a toxin we definitely want to avoid—especially when it comes to something as essential as drinking water. 🌱 When we moved to Boise and learned about the chlorine-heavy water here, I knew we needed a reliable filtration system. After a lot of research, we chose the Aquasana RO system, and it’s been the best decision for our family! Not only does it provide clean, safe drinking water, but it also makes maintenance easy—no guesswork needed! 💧 Here’s why we love Aquasana’s RO system: ✔️ Filters out 99.99% of 90+ contaminants like fluoride, lead, arsenic, PFOA/PFOS, and microplastics. ✔️ Uses less water for filtration, making it super efficient. ✔️ Has one of the highest contaminant removal rates of any RO system on the market. But this is important to know: even the best RO systems need to be cleaned to prevent mold buildup. Watch the reel above to see how I sanitize ours step-by-step—and trust me, it’s easier than you think! Want even more tips? Comment “ROTIPS” below! I’ll send you: 👉 A bonus tip to prevent mold in ANY RO system. 👉 Info about Aquasana’s massive sale (60% off until midnight December 9th!). 👉 The non-toxic cleaning solution we use to keep our home mold-free. Clean water isn’t just about hydration—it’s about protecting your family’s health. 💧 Let’s make sure your water is as pure and safe as possible! #CleanWater #MoldFreeLiving #NonToxicLife #MomTips #AquasanaRO #HealthyLiving #FamilyHealth #aquasanapartner

🚨Here’s why you should avoid Tylenol 👇 ...First of all, it is full of colorful dyes, sugars, and additives…. ...But the main reason is it depletes glutathione. Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants the body naturally produces. When Tylenol is consumed, it is converted to a toxin in the body called NAPQI. In order for the body to get rid of this toxin, glutathione stores are needed. 💗One or two doses of Tylenol may not do too much harm, but repeated doses, especially before or after childhood 💉’s, I worry the body’s detox pathways are inhibited. 💗When levels of glutathione are low, the body is less able to protect itself from damage and inflammation, which can lead to a number of health problems. For example, studies show that when pregnant women consume Tylenol their children have a greater chance of ADHD and other behavioral issues. *There is a time and place for Tylenol -My message to you is try to avoid overuse! 💗 ………. #doctormom #mindfulmom #holistichealth #healthymama #doctormom #healnaturally #momlife #momlifebestlife #momlifestyle

Did you see the news??? I’m pregnant!! We were SO excited to tell the kids. Can you tell?? And what an amazing place and memory we now have that I was able to tell them while we were on our last-minute trip to Hawaii! I told the kids I wanted to play a little game of telephone… I said “mommy has a baby in her belly” I honestly had no idea how they would react but the fact that they’re equally excited just fills me with so much joy! (Raffi’s expression at the end is exactly how I’m feeling too! 😆😆😆😆😆) We are completing our family and I am so excited to take you along for the ride. …… #PregnancyAnnouncement #FamilyComplete #40andpregnant #MotherhoodJourney #newbaby #lastbaby

I can’t believe I’m making this post already!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 I’ve been waiting for this day … and we are here!! It’s official: we’re completing our family! 💫 First… 📷A BIG shout out to the amazing @duskanddawnphotographyhi . We met Lexi during our trip to Hawaii. Our kids hit it off at a pool, and before we knew it, Lexi offered us a free photo shoot when she found out we were pregnant. SHE IS A GIFT! If you are ever visiting Oahu, please reach out to Lexi. It was, BY FAR, our most fun photo shoot! We are blown away with what she created for us. 🫶 So grateful for her generosity and new friendship. Now… why am I choosing to share so early at only 7 weeks? Yes, I am being vulnerable. Yes, I know 25% of early pregnancies can end in a loss. AND…. I need more support now than ever! I support any woman and whatever time she chooses is best for her to share. For me - I am an open book. I choose to share early because I am the most tired and nauseous and need the most help with the kids, cooking food, and just community support while I navigate this first trimester. And if this pregnancy is not meant to be and ends in a loss… you sure bet I will want support to navigate that very hard spiritual, emotional, and physical grief. We had a miscarriage with our first pregnancy, so I really know the journey of what is possible. I welcome alllll the prayers that this one is a STICKY baby!! 🤲 Want more behind-the-scenes details about why I feel so comfortable sharing the news so early? Tune into this week’s podcast, where I share the raw, the real, and some not-so-fun news we got the same week we found out we were pregnant (hint more mold! 😫). Motherhood is sure not for the weak. I’m choosing to focus on the positives and not be a victim of the negative parts of life. Keeping my stress levels as low as possible during this pregnancy is the main focus 🫶 We are so blessed. Stay tuned and follow me on my pregnancy journey. SOOO excited to share my tips/tricks during each trimester to support you mamas even more! HERE WE GO!!!! #baby4 #pregnancyannouncement #dreamscometrue #grateful
