Say YES to your doctor when they ask if they can test your baby’s iron and lead!

I explain this more in my 12-month check-up guide for my Doctor Mom Members, but want to briefly review this with every mom who will hear me out!

These tests are really important!

Iron is essential to carry oxygen to cells.

It’s imperative in optimal brain development and you want your little ones’ levels to be in a normal range. If it’s low you want to know ASAP!

❌Lead should NOT be present in the body. ❌

This is a toxic metal that is still found on antiques, homes built before 1978, in some pipes, dirt, etc.

We want to assure there is NO lead found in our little ones as this could interfere with brain development if left unnoticed for too long.

Consider how our little ones explore their environment with their mouths.

Just one bite or lick of your grandmother’s hand-me-down rocking chair may be your child’s exposure.

You just never know!

Test, don’t guess.

If levels are high your doctor will provide resources and support to find the source!!! You want that!

So don’t look over these tests.

As Doctor Moms, you want to be PROACTIVE and WELL INFORMED!

When to test?

Some states test as early as 12 months while others wait until 24 months. If your child is in this age range and hasn’t been tested please discuss with your doctor.

It’s never too late to test!

If you're interested in the full 12-month checkup guide, I'd love to invite you inside of the Doctor Mom membership by clicking the link in my bio.

Let me know below, did you know this? Has your child been tested for these? Let's start a conversation.

This cold & flu season is ALL about keeping everyone as healthy as possible since we have a new member of the family 🥹

And we alll know the drill...

One kid gets sick and suddenly everyone is down.

School germs, toddler germs, sports class germs... they don’t mess around.

So I put together a quick Immune Support Checklist that covers:

💛 What we do daily to support immunity
💛 The exact supplements I reach for for the family
💛 My go-to remedies, and what I stock in our “Doctor Mom” cabinet this time of year

Let’s keep those sniffles, coughs, and middle-of-the-night wakeups away this season 🙌

Comment “IMMUNEGUIDE” and I’ll DM it to you!

⬇️ Surprising fact about antibiotics

Did you know out of the top 10 childhood illnesses, only 2 always need antibiotics?

❤️The truth is that most childhood illnesses are caused by viruses, which antibiotics can’t treat.

In fact, the most common childhood illnesses like colds, influenza, bronchitis, RSV, hand-foot-mouth, and stomach flu are all caused by viruses.

Ear infections, pinkeye, sore throat, or sinusitis could be either viral or bacterial.

And, guess what?

80% of bacterial ear infections clear up on their own without antibiotics! (Some docs would say over 90%!)

So, the next time your little one gets sick, take a deep breath and remember that antibiotics may not always be needed, nor always be the answer.

And don’t forget, natural medicines have got you covered with many safe antiviral options.

❤️Let’s work together to keep our kids healthy and happy.❤️

Comment “TOP5” below and I’ll DM you my top 5 most-used protocols for free including what to do for that nonstop sniffle. 👇

Most parents don’t realize this...

But you can shorten a cold by 2-3 days with something as simple as a saline nose spray.

No meds. No dyes.

Just clearing out the gunk so your child can breathe easier and feel better faster.

It’s one of the first things I reach for when the congestion starts and I pair it with a few other tried-and-true tools you’ll find inside my free protocol guide.

You don’t have to wait it out without support, and you definitely don’t have to panic-Google every symptom.

Just comment “TOP5” and I’ll send you everything I use to help my kids feel better.

P.S. Nasal Sprays are also amazing when used daily too! Opens the airways, kids breathe better, and can even prevent getting sick in the first place! Hate nasal sprays? Please, try them again… you may learn to love them 🫶

Happy new year mama! IF there is ONE thing I’d love for you to know as we head into the new year it’s this! It's such a simple way to help the family!

🤯Is your mind blown yet??

Let’s talk a bit about each of these...

1️⃣Did you know that aluminum, an ingredient within several childhood 💉’s, has potential harmful impacts on the immune system and the brain when given in high amounts.

Please know you have options with some brands having no aluminum or lower amounts. You have the option to ask for specific brands!

2️⃣For some 💉’s, you can limit the number of doses if you know the timing.

We want every parent to know these facts about how timing may help limit the number of doses and make a plan they feel is best for their child.

3️⃣Avoid Tylenol before and after a 💉!! Why?

Tylenol decreases glutathione…   Glutathione helps not only with detoxification but also helps by protecting the brain!

We love glutathione so much it is one of our main supplements we recommend in our pre and post-detox and immune protocol to support your littles.

If you choose to 💉, you WANT it to be as effective as possible!!

We recommend doing everything you can to AVOID substances that reduce effectiveness and instead GIVE nutrients that increase effectiveness! 👍

✨ and I have done SO much research on this and love sharing information.

🙏 Please share this with everyone you know.

Often 💉 posts get lost in the algorithm.

Let’s play Fact or Fiction: Kids & Colds! 🤔

Fact or fiction: Baby’s, Toddlers, and preschoolers have about three to four colds a year.

📚 Fiction! In reality, our little ones can rack up about 7 to 8 colds per year. As they grow, school-aged children average around five or six, and by their teenage years, it’s more like three to four colds annually. 🤧🧒👧

Fact or fiction: I can send my kid back to school even if they still have symptoms.

📚 Fact! Let me break it down for you. While some symptoms, like a pesky cough, can linger for up to 18 days, it doesn’t necessarily mean you need to keep your child isolated from others for all that time. The general rule of thumb is to wait until their fever has been gone for at least 24 hours, and they’re no longer feeling absolutely miserable before sending them back to school. 📚🤒🏫

Fact or fiction: Colds are caused by bad weather or going outside without a coat.

📚 Fiction! Cold air alone doesn’t cause an illness. However, here’s the twist: if your child was recently exposed to a bug and their body is in the early stages of fighting off the infection (before symptoms appear), the cold air can sometimes trigger those symptoms to surface sooner. That’s because their body is busy trying to stay warm instead of battling the infection. So, playing outside in the cold might turn a low-level cold into a full-blown illness. But remember, the cold itself doesn’t cause the illness; it’s already there, lurking within. 🌬️🦠

Were any of these surprising to you? Share your thoughts in the comments below! Let’s keep our little ones healthy and happy! 💕

Ever look at your baby’s cheeks and wonder why their perfect skin is suddenly covered in tiny bumps?

Or maybe you’re navigating the emotional rollercoaster of your teen’s acne...

or still wondering why you’re dealing with breakouts postpartum?

Here’s something you deserve to know:

💛 Acne looks different at every age because IT IS different at every age.

And none of it means you’re doing something wrong.

Baby acne? It’s usually just your hormones finishing their work, totally normal, totally temporary, and doesn’t need much assistance.

Teen acne? Hormones, food triggers, and gut imbalances are often at the root: not poor hygiene or bad habits.

And adult acne? Hormonal shifts, stress, and blood sugar swings can all be part of the picture.

The truth is, acne is your body talking. Not failing.

Inside the Doctor Mom Membership, we walk you through acne support protocols for every stage, from newborn to teen to mama.

We don’t believe in fear, shame, or one-size-fits-all skincare.

We believe in understanding why it’s happening and helping you feel calm and confident about what to do next.

Whether it’s nutrition, functional testing, natural support, or just feeling seen, we’ve got you.

P.S. The acne protocols are just one of 60+ protocols inside the membership to help you care for your family with confidence. 💛

You’re never in this alone, Mama.

The 3 biggest mistakes I see moms accidentally make ⬇️

Moms often get overwhelmed with all the different natural medicine options… so don’t do any!

Mama, start with ONE - give it a try.

You don’t have to do so many at once.

Moms are often worried they don’t know how much medicine to safely give their child so they don’t give any at all.

❤️PLEASE don’t be paralyzed by this.❤️

Most natural medicines have dosing instructions right on the label to help guide you.

You can also join my Doctor Mom membership for my exact recommended amounts so you don’t have to worry one more second!

Moms think they will mess it up and don’t think they can truly be a Doctor Mom and help their own child.

This is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE! I believe EVERY mom can be a Doctor Mom!

With the right resources and community support every mom can safely and effectively help their child when sick.

You know your child better than anyone.

You got this mama!❤️

Comment “TOP5” below to grab the 5 protocols moms ask for the MOST (including cough!) for FREE! 🎉

Did you know that honey can help with coughs??

Not a syrup. Not a dye-filled medicine.

Just honey. 🍯

If your little one is over a year old, honey is one of the most beautifully simple tools to calm a cough… especially those lingering, nighttime ones that keep everyone awake.

Add it to warm water or herbal tea, or give it by the spoonful!

It helps coat the throat, soothe irritation, and even has antibacterial properties.

In the free cough protocol we go way deeper than just honey...

You’ll get a breakdown of natural & conventional tools (plus safety signs to watch for)

So if you’ve ever panicked over a late-night cough and wished you had a trusted plan on hand, these are the tools you’ll want to keep in your back pocket (or your medicine cabinet).

Share this with a mama friend!

✨ Drop TOP5 below and we’ll send them your way.

P.S. (in case I didn’t make it clear, lol) Honey = for kids over 1 year only

Feeling unsure about whether it’s time to take your child to the doctor? You’re not alone, Mama.

💛 It’s one of the hardest decisions we face, especially when our little ones aren’t feeling well.

That’s why I created this guide to help you make that call with clarity and confidence. 🩺✨

Swipe through the graphics above to see:

🔍 Mom’s Measuring Model to help you assess your child’s mood, your emotional response, and key signs to watch for.

⚖️ The Safety Scale highlights severe symptoms that mean it’s time to go (like respiratory distress, signs of dehydration, or a fever in an infant).

Being a Doctor Mom doesn’t mean you have to do it all perfectly.

It means learning to trust yourself while staying informed. Every illness is different, and sometimes, the best choice is to watch and wait. Other times, you’ll know it’s time to seek help and that’s what this is all about!

Save this post for the next time your little one is under the weather, and please share it with your friends!

You’ve got this, Mama. ❤

Comment FEVERGUIDE below to get it for free!

What can I do if my child has a fever? 👇

I know fevers can be scary for parents, but did you know that a fever is actually a good thing?🤯

It’s the body’s natural response to fighting off an infection.

So if you’re looking for a natural way to comfort your child I have so many tips for you.

First, try using a cold compress.

Simply soak a washcloth in cold water, wring it out, and place it on your child’s forehead or the back of their neck.

The coolness of the compress will help your child feel better.

Another home remedy for fever is to take cotton socks, soak them in cold water, ring them out - place them on your child’s feet and cover them with dry wool socks.

Tuck your child into bed and wait until the cotton socks are dry. This simple home remedy stimulates the immune system and can help a fever overnight!

❤️ You can also use herbs like lemon balm and elderberry that calm the nervous system and fight viruses.

❤️ There are also many homeopathics like Aconite and Belladonna that can help within minutes!

It’s important to note again that a fever is not always a bad thing, and it is a natural way for the body to fight off an infection.

For more information on what to do when your child has a fever, get my Fever Protocol Guide for free.

Just comment FEVERGUIDE in the comments and I’ll send it to you.
