Healthy Kids, Happy Kids

An Integrative Pediatrician’s Guide to Whole Child Resilience

By: Elisa Song

Narrated by: Elisa Song

Do you want to know the key to raising resilient kids, from the inside out? In this groundbreaking, evidence-based guide to raising healthy kids in our modern world, Dr. Elisa Song bridges the gap between conventional and holistic pediatrics and delivers a clear roadmap to help kids thrive.

Raising healthy, happy kids shouldn’t be so hard. Yet, despite living in what should be a golden age of medicine, our children are sicker than ever. At least 1 in 5 kids has eczema, and 1 in 10 has asthma, ADHD, or anxiety—and sometimes they have all of the above. Many parents are at a loss for who to turn to for trusted advice—advice that takes a root-cause, holistic approach to whole child resilience, but doesn’t dismiss the value of conventional pediatrics.

Enter Elisa Song, MD, a Stanford-, NYU-, UCSF-trained pediatrician, one of the foremost pioneers and trusted experts in pediatric integrative and functional medicine. Drawing on extensive research and over 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Song explains why your child’s gut microbiome holds the key to lifelong wellness. She shares her proven and practical plan for building physical and emotional resilience from the inside out. You will discover how to:

• Optimize your child’s microbiome with 5 simple steps.
• Empower your kids so they want to make healthy choices (and you don’t have to nag).
• Heal your child’s gut to get to the root cause of their chronic health concerns.
• Feel calm and confident using safe and effective natural therapies when your kids are sick, with an A-to-Z guide to the top 25 acute childhood ailments.

Complete with helpful quizzes, exercises, protocols, and dozens of delicious, gut-friendly recipes, Healthy Kids, Happy Kids is a comprehensive, yet simple roadmap to raising resilient kids in our not-so-simple world. Thanks to Dr. Song, parents (and practitioners) finally have the power to revolutionize the future of children’s health so that their kids can thrive—no matter what life throws their way.

thorough! touches base on the most important health aspects to focus on for kids

love this! my son recently died of cancer and this led me down a 180 in health for my family. i had no idea about health until my son relapsed and they gave us no other options except hospice so i discovered the integrative world of medicine and haven’t turned back. my son had so many issues in his gut in hindsight that i had no idea. had antibiotics, chronic constipation, i saw parasites come out. he had impaired immune function! it was all spot on. i just found out too late and he died of PEs in 11/2023.

. the recipes, especially for smoothies, was so helpful. these diseases are preventable! i had toxin panels done on 2 of my sons and have proof on why it is so important to eat organic and clean! i’ve recommended this to so many. thank you for your help and the guide. the fiber recommendations. the added sugar recommendations. omg sugar is everywhere. the dyes…. i just could go on and on. thank you dr song.

Very thorough

I love how detailed and informative this book is. I’m so excited to print all of the guides so I can best help my son when he inevitably gets sick without all the harmful ingredients in modern medicine. Thank you Dr. Song!

Absolutely amazing

This book is nothing but amazing for us parents to help our children thrive. I highly recommend this book to all parents and doctors

A must for parents!!

Absolutely loved this book - I bought the physical copy to go back and refer to. Totally FULL of helpful info. Would recommend to all parents!!

This is a REQUIRED reading for parents of kids of any age.

Incredibly valuable, so much so I bought the hard copy to keep on the shelf as a reference ‘manual’ for when my little one inevitably gets sick. But this book helps avoid sickness in the first place by addressing ROOT CAUSE of most issues (the gut, diet, nutritional deficiencies, etc.). I just wish more pediatricians knew this information.
