Thank you FOX 11 Los Angeles for having me on to discuss diagnosing and understanding ADHD in your child. ADHD is more than just being hyper. Diagnosis usually starts in school-age kids – and it’s not always straightforward. From behavioral therapy to nutrition and lifestyle changes, there are many tools beyond medication that can help. And always start by talking to your pediatrician.

What steps does a parent need to take if there's reason to believe their child has ADHD? We talked to Dr. Tanya Altmann who helped with some tips.

What an incredible night with the LA supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation 💙💛✨

As a pediatrician , I see firsthand the power of hope, joy, and community in helping children heal and thrive. Tonight reminded me how life-changing it can be for a child facing serious illness to have a wish granted—a chance to dream, to smile, and to feel supported by so many.

Huge thank you to the LA Rams for bringing together players, families, and fans to celebrate these brave kids. And to Make-A-Wish, for continuing to give children the gift of hope. đź’«

If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, I encourage you to learn more, donate, or volunteer. Together, we can make wishes come true.

I was called last minute to run over to NBC News during my busy patient day (I did make up and lashes in the car!) to discuss with Tom Llamas NBC News NOW a new study showing a rise in GLP-1 use in kids.

I have found it to be a great tool to help decrease food and sugar cravings in kids, lower their weight, help them learn how to eat healthy appropriate portion sizes, exercise more and be able to focus on school, learning, friends an all around healthier lifestyle! This along with seeing a dietician, fitness expert and coming to my office regularly has been life changing for my patients Calabasas Pediatrics

Thank you KTLA 5 Morning News and for having me on to talk about an important new Jama Network study showing a serious decline in the health of American children.

The study revealed significant rises in chronic illnesses like asthma, obesity, anxiety, and ADHD over the past decade, as well as higher mortality rates compared to kids in other high-income countries.

As a pediatrician, some of the root causes we’re seeing in practice:
• Poor nutrition and ultra-processed foods
• Disrupted gut health from early life factors
• Less sleep, movement, and more screen time
• Environmental stressors like pollution and lack of green space

See your pediatrician for regular well child visits, as that’s when education on injury prevention and examination and discussion for prevention of chronic illness and disease is done. Focus on injury prevention, good nutrition, gut health, lifestyle and environment.
If you have any concerns about your children from physical or mental health standpoint, please talk to your pediatrician, that’s what we are here to help with.
