Smart, Actionable Strategies for Childhood Resilience, with Dr. Elisa Song Dr. Kara Fitzgerald | New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, Longevity, Epigenetics

Dr. Elisa Song is one of those clinicians that I could just keep talking to! She's a respected colleague and pioneer in pediatric functional medicine with so many practical tips for navigating childhood illness and health. Need to get your kiddo/patient through a blood draw they don't want to do? Or get your picky eater to take their supplement? Dr. Song has the answers. I appreciate her candor as she talks about how and why her practice has evolved in certain areas (such as in the use of targeted probiotics and even "psychobiotics" for autism, ADHD, anxiety, OCD and more) and in spelling out which supplement brands and doses she uses and why. Dr. Song tackles the immense challenges impacting the health of our kids and teens head on with positivity and smart, doable strategies for lasting success. This is a fascinating and empowering discussion with many clinical pearls that I will be implementing both in practice and for my own daughter going forwards. I hope you enjoy it too! ~DrKF
