Did you know your child’s vagus nerve works like a natural calm switch? 🧠💛 When it’s activated, it supports digestion, sleep, mood, and stress recovery.

That’s why in functional medicine and developmental-behavioral pediatrics, we teach families how to strengthen vagal tone. 🌱

✅ Try these 4 simple exercises at home:
🫧 Bubble breathing
🎶 Humming or singing
💦 Cool water splash
🤗 A hug or gentle pressure

These aren’t replacements for medical care, but they’re easy daily tools that can make a big difference. Every child is unique, find what helps your little one feel calmer and more balanced. 💛🌻

At the Silver Biennial Convention of the Philippine Society for Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, Dr Tippy was blessed to share the stage with, Dr. Elisa Song , who graciously shared her wisdom on the microbiome and the future of children’s health.

Her lecture shed light on how the gut microbiome is not just about digestion, it’s a master epigenetic regulator influencing immunity, neurodevelopment, emotional resilience, and long-term health. From the first 1,000 days of life to transgenerational impacts, Dr. Song reminded us that what we do today can shape the health of generations to come. 🌱

Grateful for her authenticity, generosity, and heart for children and families. 💙
