Have you ever been told to avoid certain foods while breastfeeding? The list is long, ever changing, and almost completely bunk. In celebration of World Chocolate Day, we thought we'd unwrap one of those common food myths and the truth behind it! Will eating chocolate make your breastfed baby fussy? Not likely!

In the foreground is the gable end of a building completely covered with a mural of a mother nursing her baby, she is smiling broadly down at them. The colours of the mural are vibrant oranges and pinks, which contrast against the paler greys, browns and blues of the sky and surrounding streets.]

😵Exhausted.

That’s the word that kept coming up for my friend, during my energy session with her.

Not a word that has ever consciously been in my vocabulary. And yet, there it was. I was … exhausted.

But why? Here I am, on the brink of launching my book to the world on May 14. My life’s work, written as a legacy for my children, your children & their children - so that generations to come can learn the key to thriving in our modern world & building resilience from the inside out.

And yet, there were doubts. Would this be enough?

🩷Enough to set in motion a trajectory to revolutionize the food, healthcare & pharmaceutical industries that must be reformed if we are to end the epidemic of chronic childhood disease. Enough to instill hope in the next generation of pediatric practitioners that they can do more than practice bandaid medicine & find joy in medicine. Enough to build a community of parents & practitioners dedicated to making sure that KIDS MATTER.

🩷Enough to make my kids & husband feel that the sacrifices were all worthwhile. Enough to make my mother proud.

🩷Enough to feel that I had done enough.

‼️And then I realized - it actually will never be enough. There will always be more to do, to do right by our kids. As it should be.

💥Yet - this book IS enough.💥

It is a beginning, not an end. The joy is in the journey. And I would be so honored for you to be a part of this journey with me.

And one thing I’ve now learned, book pre-orders are a very important part of this journey. Your pre-order:
✅Helps booksellers decide whether to carry a book
✅Tells our healthcare system & food industry that we demand better for our kids
✅Lets the world know that we stand together in revolutionizing the future of children’s health

🥰I would be so grateful if you pre-ordered my book: Healthy Kids, Happy Kids: An Integrative Pediatrician’s Guide to Whole Child Resilience, and shared with any other parent or practitioner who wants to join us on this journey. You can order it here [LINK in BIO]: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/healthy-kids-happy-kids-elisa-song

💥Kids matter. Our voices matter. And together, we are enough.
