Sleep is when a child’s brain and body do some of their most important work.

During deep sleep:
🧠 Brain “detox” mode turns on: the glymphatic system flushes out waste and toxins that build up during the day, keeping the brain healthy and sharp.
📚 Learning locks in: neurons form new connections, cementing what your child learned that day.
💪 Growth hormones are released: helping muscles, bones, and tissues repair and grow.
🛡 Immune system strengthens: making it easier to fight off colds and illnesses.
⚖ Emotions stabilize: sleep supports healthy neurotransmitter balance, reducing mood swings and anxiety.

When kids don’t get enough sleep, you might notice:
👉 Irritability or emotional meltdowns
👉Trouble focusing or learning
👉Increased sugar cravings
👉Weakened immune defenses

📌 Tip: Most school-aged kids need 9–12 hours of sleep each night. A calming bedtime routine (dim lights, no screens an hour before bed, consistent sleep/wake times) helps their body and brain know it’s time to recharge.

A good night’s sleep is a daily reset button for the brain and body... even for you!

We often think of anxiety as “all in the mind,” but it’s not always that simple.
Sometimes, the body is quietly calling for help.

Research shows that certain nutrient deficiencies can impact mood, focus, and resilience to stress. For some children, low levels of key nutrients may contribute to anxious thoughts, restlessness, or emotional ups and downs.

Nutrients to consider:
🥚 Choline – supports healthy brain development and neurotransmitter production.
🍗 B vitamins – vital for energy, nervous system balance, and stress resilience.
🥗 Magnesium – the “calming mineral” that helps regulate mood and relaxation.
🫘 Amino acids – building blocks for neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.
🍔 Iron – essential for oxygen delivery to the brain and energy metabolism.
🦪Zinc – important for brain signaling, gut health, and immune balance.

This doesn’t mean anxiety is only about nutrition. Emotional, environmental, and social factors all play a role, but it does mean that when we look deeper, we sometimes find surprisingly simple things that can make a big difference.

If your child struggles with anxiety, it may be worth exploring nutrient status as part of a root-cause approach. Supporting the body can help support the mind.

As your kids head back to school, it’s time to stock up on smart snacks that keep their energy stable, focus sharp, and tummies happy.

The goal? Snacks that don’t spike blood sugar or leave them crashing mid-math class..... and that support healthy digestion too!

Here are some blood sugar and gut-friendly snack ideas to pack or have ready after school:

🥒 Veggies & Dip
Think cucumber slices, mini bell peppers, or carrot sticks with guacamole, hummus, or a protein-packed Greek yogurt ranch.

🍎 Apple Slices + Nut Butter
A classic! Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or h**p seeds for extra nutrients and fiber.

🧀 Turkey & Cheese Roll-Ups
Simple, protein-rich, and satisfying. Add a pickle or avocado slice for bonus gut-loving benefits.

🍿 Popcorn with Olive Oil & Sea Salt
Air-popped and minimally seasoned = a fiber-filled, fun snack.

🍠 Mini Sweet Potato Muffins
Naturally sweet and packed with fiber and prebiotics. Bake ahead and freeze for grab-and-go ease. Example recipe: https://whatgreatgrandmaate.com/paleo-sweet-potato-muffins/ -recipe-container-17518

🫐 Trail Mix with a Twist
Combine raw nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, and a few dried blueberries. Skip the sugary raisins and M&Ms 😉 https://www.thecreativebite.com/blueberry-dark-chocolate-superfood-trail-mix/

🥚 Hard-Boiled Eggs with Everything Bagel Seasoning
Protein and healthy fats that are easy to prep ahead.

🍶 Coconut Yogurt Parfaits
Top with chia seeds and fresh berries for a gut-friendly, dairy-free option.

🌱 Homemade Energy Balls
Made with oats, nut butter, chia/flaxseeds, and a drizzle of honey or dates. Add cinnamon or a few mini dark chocolate chips for fun. https://wholefoodfor7.com/chocolate-fudge-date-balls/

✨Remember: snacks don’t have to be complicated. A little planning goes a long way in keeping your kids nourished, balanced, and feeling good from the inside out.

As summer winds down, many kids are coming off weeks of irregular routines, extra sugar, late nights, and screen time overload. It’s been fun, but their little systems are ready for a reset.

Here’s what I’m supporting with my pediatric patients right now:

🧠 Sleep: Earlier bedtimes help regulate cortisol, mood, and immune function. It’s not just about school readiness - it’s about their brain health.

🍎 Nourishment: After a season of goldfish and popsicles (no shame—we’ve all been there), we’re bringing back blood sugar stability with protein, healthy fats, and nutrient-dense snacks.

🧬 Gut health: Tummy aches, irritability, and poor focus often trace back to the gut. Bring in soluble fiber (like oats, chia, and berries) to soothe digestion and insoluble fiber (like carrots, seeds, and broccoli) to support healthy elimination. A balanced microbiome = better mood, focus, and immune function.

🧼 Detox support: From chlorine and sunscreen to melatonin and antibiotics, their bodies have been working. Gentle detox strategies (like epsom salt baths, hydration, and fiber-rich foods) help clear the clutter.

📚 Immune priming : As we head into fall, we support foundational immunity with targeted nutrients (zinc, vitamin D, omega-3s) and rhythms that calm inflammation.

If your child struggles with behavior, belly aches, eczema, picky eating, or poor sleep or more.... we take it seriously. And we get to the root.

Functional wellness visits, back-to-school check ups, and personalized support are available now. Text (214) 247- 6276 to schedule your visit.

From mood swings to tummy aches, skin rashes to sleep struggles; kids often speak through their symptoms and behavior. They are communication.

In integrative pediatrics, we don’t just treat the surface issue… we ask why it’s happening in the first place.

✨ Could it be food sensitivities?
✨ Gut imbalance?
✨ Toxicity?
✨ Overstimulation or nutrient depletion?

Every symptom is a clue. And when we listen to the whole child: body, mind, and environment, we can uncover root causes and support true healing.... not just symptom management.

If your little one has symptoms that just keep coming back, you're not alone and there are answers.

Did you know your garden hose could cause second-degree burns? 😳🔥

It sounds wild, but it’s true. When a hose sits in the sun, even for just an hour or two, the water inside can heat up to over 130°F. That's hot enough to scald skin within seconds, especially for kids and pets who may be more sensitive.

Before you spray:
✅ Let the hose run for a minute or two to flush out hot water
✅ Keep hose ends shaded or store them in the shade when not in use
✅ Always test the water with your hand before spraying people or animals

Summer safety isn’t just sunscreen and hydration, it’s also being mindful of sneaky heat hazards like this one.

Share this to help keep others safe this season!

Did you know pools aren’t the #1 source of chlorine exposure for kids?!

The real culprits?
Your shower head, tub spout, and tap water.

Every bath and shower becomes a mini chlorine steam session. How? Chlorine is absorbed through their skin and inhaled into their lungs.

And that glass of water from the sink? It likely contains chlorine too.
That means they’re soaking in it and drinking it daily.

Here’s how to reduce exposure:
✅ Use a NSF-certified shower or tub filter
✅ Install a NSF-certified reverse osmosis (RO) system under your kitchen sink for clean drinking water
✅ Add 1 tsp of sodium ascorbate (Vitamin C powder) to your child’s bath to neutralize chlorine on the skin
✅ Support detox with fruits rich in Vitamin C (like strawberries, oranges, kiwi, and bell peppers)

Small changes can make a big impact on your child’s long-term health.

See the graphics for some NSF-certified filter brands.

Ever notice how your child’s behavior changes after certain foods?

One moment they’re calm... the next, it’s a meltdown over nothing 😩

Turns out, it’s not just the sugar or the gluten, it’s the gut-brain connection at work.

Here’s what every parent should know:
🦠 The gut microbiome helps produce brain chemicals like serotonin
🍎 Food feeds (or disrupts) gut bacteria, which impacts behavior
🔗 The vagus nerve carries signals between the gut and brain so stress, inflammation, and digestion are all connected

When the gut is off, the brain feels it too.

Studies show that a healthy gut =
✔ Fewer meltdowns
✔ Better sleep + focus
✔ Stronger immune system
✔ Less inflammation

If your child is struggling with mood, meltdowns, learning concerns, or tummy issues, start by supporting their gut. It could change everything.

Sun exposure is the best natural source of Vitamin D. But here’s the catch: just like anything, too much isn't always a good thing. In this case, too much sun - to the point of burning, can cause oxidative damage to the skin. 🔥

That’s when things shift from beneficial to harmful.

Sunscreen is one of the most popular ways to protect the skin from burns. But unfortunately, most conventional sunscreens are packed with chemicals that can do more harm than good, especially over time.

Many contain ingredients like:
🚫 Avobenzone
🚫 Oxybenzone
🚫 Octinoxate
🚫 Homosalate
🚫 Octocrylene
🚫 Dioxybenzone
…and more.

These are known as endocrine disruptors, which are chemicals that can mimic, block, or alter hormone signals, potentially leading to hormone imbalances, reproductive issues, and even cancer.

The skin is like a giant mouth, what you put on it gets absorbed directly into the bloodstream. One study showed that the skin absorbs an average of 64% of contaminant dosage. Another, published in JAMA Network, found that 6 active ingredients in sunscreen exceeded the FDA's threshold for safety testing after just one application and some were still detectable in the blood weeks later!

📚 Link to study: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2759002

So… what now? Ditching the chemical-laden sunscreens doesn’t have to be hard. I’ve got you covered. 👇

My go-to resource for finding cleaner, less toxic products is the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Their Sunscreen Guide is a powerful tool to:

✅ Check the health rating of your current sunscreen
✅ Discover safer alternatives
✅ Find EWG-verified brands that meet rigorous safety standards

Some of my favorite clean sunscreen brands:

☀️ Attitude
☀️ Babo Botanicals
☀️ Stream2Sea
☀️ Think Baby
☀️ Think Sport

Check out EWG Skin Deep database to find other great options!

What’s leaky gut and could it be affecting your child?

Think of your child’s gut like a protective fence - one that’s meant to keep the bad stuff out and only let the good stuff in. But when that fence gets damaged things that shouldn’t get through start sneaking in. Kind of like when your neighbor’s fence has holes in it and their dog keeps escaping into your yard.

That’s essentially what happens with leaky gut.

The lining of the gut becomes too porous, and things like undigested food, toxins, and bacteria “leak” into the bloodstream - triggering inflammation and symptoms throughout the body.

In kids, this can look like:
✨ Eczema, rashes, or skin flare-ups
✨ Tummy aches, constipation, or loose stools
✨ Food sensitivities or picky eating
✨ Mood swings, anxiety, or trouble focusing
✨ Recurring colds, ear infections, or strep

The good news? Kids are incredibly resilient and their guts can heal. With the right support, you can repair the fence and restore balance from the inside out.

If you’ve been told your child will just “grow out of it,” but your intuition says otherwise; let’s talk. Book an appointment via my website: https://www.fullquiverwellnesssanctuary.com/
