How to Heal Your Child’s Gut Microbiome and Boost Immunity With Dr. Elisa Song

What if the rise in childhood anxiety, ADHD, and chronic diseases isn’t a result of genetics, but a broken food and medical system we’ve normalized? In today’s episode, Dr. Elisa Song, an integrative pediatrician, reveals how our overfed yet undernourished children are suffering from a medical and dietary crisis.

We discuss the alarming rise of childhood mental health and physical conditions that can be

traced back to the modern food system and medical practices. Dr. Elisa explains why children today are biologically undernourished despite consuming more food than ever before.

She highlights the critical role gut health plays in shaping children’s behavior, mental clarity, and immunity. If you're concerned about the well-being of your child in a world of processed foods and overmedication, this episode provides the tools to start making meaningful changes today.

“I'm not saying don't give those babies antibiotics or antacid medications. I’m saying make sure they are absolutely necessary, and restore their microbiome with infant-specific prebiotics and probiotics” Dr. Elisa Song
