Healthy Parenting Handbook with Katie Kimball
021: What Is Your Kid's Poo Telling You? with Dr. Elisa Song (BONUS episode!)
For real, let's talk about Kid POOP. Because it doesn't get enough press! Dr. Song talks about kids' poop with every patient at every visit. You're going to love this interview!
Dr. Elisa Song, MD, holistic pediatrician, is back today with some very important instruction for parents and kids about WHY we need to be aware of our kid's poop each day, what to look for in a healthy poop, and what "text messages" our poop is sending us.
Once we learn to interpret the language of poop, we might need her tips on:
- How gut health impacts our brains and immune system and alllll the many ailments that likely begins in the gut
- Kicking constipation naturally (she explains why Miralax is NOT a good solution)
- How to find a good probiotic
- Best exercise for good digestion
- What happens to our digestion when we literally "eat on the run"
