Hard truth - NONE of my patients who feel tired and stressed and anxious and who are struggling with pain and digestive issues do ALL (or even most) of these things:

- hydrate effectively
- work out 3-5 times per week
- achieve DAILY movement with at least 10k steps
- prioritize sleep
- focus on a high fiber and high protein diet without restricting calories
- manage stress
- minimize/eliminate toxic relationships
- practice gratitude and surrender

I'm still learning, too. But the small steps are SO important. Where can you start?

How are you pushing past ordinary to be extraordinary and vibrant?

Bottom line - not all diagnosed ear infections require an antibiotic prescription. Talk to your doctor about the best option for your child and work to reduce risk if your child has recurrent ear infections!

Of course - I'm glad they exist. Antibiotics save lives.

However, they are flagrantly overused and the longer term risks are not discussed widely and are still being studied.

Over the coming days I want to share some of the more alarming concerns associated with antibiotic use, as well as suggestions for supporting the body when they're needed and alternative management foe common conditions.

I wanted to follow my last post with something positive - then what can I do when my little ones are struggling?

My older son just loved foot rubs. My younger son loved back rubs. They both just absorb the "doting." They enjoy the reminder that no classes or activities are as important as providing their body the space to heal - so that they can return stronger.

There isn't much extra to do for babies under 6 months. Feed them. Hold them. When you're tired, pass them to another set of loving arms, if available.

Many kids are so, so picky about supplements. In that case, please don't underestimate the value of hugs, and water, and warm blankets, and sleep.

Take care of yourself, too, during these hard seasons!

Instead, consider teaching them the value of slowing down, of trusting their bodies, of drinking tea and eating soup and skipping playtime in lieu of snuggles.

All of the 'symptoms' are evidence of the body's strength in fighting illness and should be celebrated! Please don't medicate this away. Please don't teach your children to medicate this away.

Nirvana on a Tuesday evening.

The sun is setting. The intense heat has abated. The animals are calm.

Nirvana is the word to describe the utter peace and wholly therapeutic reset this provides. I don't know how I could push through all the days without this.
