If you’re not pooping enough — or too much — your gut is trying to tell you something.
Here’s what “regular” really looks like.

Most people do best with one to two bowel movements a day, and the total amount should be about the size of two ripe bananas — roughly 200 grams in a full day.

And yes… hydration and daily movement make a huge difference.

Just remember the Rule of Twos:
1–2 poops a day, stool size equal to 2 bananas, about 200 grams total.
Your gut will thank you.

Not every child with big tonsils needs surgery.☝🏻👀
And even for kids who might need it — sometimes you have time to reverse swelling naturally.🩺🥼

Here are the steps I guide families through — and we often avoid surgery

1️⃣ Remove dairy.
Cheese, milk , yogurt — they increase mucus and inflammation.
I’ve seen tonsils shrink within weeks once dairy is out.

2️⃣ Raise Vitamin D.
Tonsils calm down when levels go up.
Keep Vitamin D above 60 ng/mL to reduce infections and swelling.

3️⃣ Shrink the tissue itself.
Homeopathic Arsenicum iodatum 9C helps reduce chronic hypertrophy and irritation.

4️⃣ Fix mouth breathing.
Teach nasal breathing, use saline rinses, treat allergies naturally, and check for tongue-tie.
Mouth breathing keeps tonsils enlarged every single night.

5️⃣ Lower inflammatory foods.
Cut sugar, dyes, and ultra-processed foods.
Add anti-inflammatory foods like berries, greens, turmeric, and ginger.

6️⃣ Look for hidden triggers.
Chronic strep, reflux, mold exposure, and gut imbalance all keep tonsils huge.

These steps can’t replace surgery for severe OSA —
but many kids shrink their tonsils and avoid the operating room with the right plan.”

Guidance for five vaccines — hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal (meningitis), flu/COVID, and RSV — now emphasizes 🧠 risk-based and shared decision-making, rather than routine use for all children.

✅ All vaccines remain available
🛡️ Insurance coverage stays in place when indicated
📋 This aligns with what we’ve recommended for years
👶 No changes for our patients

Facts over fear.
Consistent care. 🤍

Most people think tonsils are useless leftovers… but they’re actually one of your child’s most important immune organs
They’re powerful immune organs — part of your child’s MALT system — the body’s first line of defense.
And here’s what studies discovered:

📌 A massive Danish study of over 1.2 million children found that removing tonsils or adenoids increased long-term risks of
— respiratory diseases
— infections
— and allergic conditions like asthma and eczema.

📌 Another population study from Taiwan showed a small but real increase in overall cancer risk decades later — especially cancers linked to the immune system ( lymphoma, leukemia thyroid, throat region, .

Why?
Because tonsils train the immune cells that protect the airway and regulate inflammation.
When you remove them, you remove part of the child’s immune intelligence center.

It may:

✔ weaken early immune surveillance
✔ reduce detection of abnormal cells
✔ alter mucosal immunity
✔ increase chronic inflammation
✔ change the microbiome
✔ shift how immune cells mature in childhood

Tonsils aren’t ‘extra.’
They’re immune organs.
So, yes… they matter more than you think

And In my next video, I’ll tell you how you may help avoid surgery.

Most parents think the job is done after shots.
But nobody tells you how to support the body to flush out what’s left behind.

In this episode, I’ll show you exactly what to do before and after immunization — step by step.📊📉

Don’t guess. Get the full list I use in my clinic — comment SUPPORT below and I’ll send you the PDF.📖

So many parents ask:
👉 “Should I give all the vaccines separately?”
👉 “Or should I choose a combo shot so my baby gets fewer pokes?”

The truth is — the number of pokes doesn’t tell the whole story.

💡 Sometimes combo shots actually contain less aluminum than giving each vaccine separately.
💡 But in other cases, the combo can contain more aluminum, depending on the brand.

📊 For example:

Pentacel (DTaP+IPV+Hib) → 330 mcg aluminum
→ Giving DTaP, IPV, and Hib separately could result in more or less, depending on the brand.

Pediarix (DTaP+HepB+IPV) → 700–850 mcg aluminum
→ That’s more than giving the individual vaccines separately.

So, it’s not about how many pokes, but which brands your baby receives that day.

And yes — I do prefer certain combo shots over separate ones (more on that soon 😉).

💬 Comment COMBO and I’ll DM you my chart comparing total aluminum amounts for combo vs separate vaccines — both U.S. and European brands.

📤 Share this with:

A parent debating between combo or separate shots,

A friend with a new baby,

Or a pediatric colleague who might find the breakdown helpful.

“Next, we’ll talk about how your baby’s body actually clears aluminum — and what helps the process.”

Most parents don’t know this. Most pediatricians don’t either — unless they dig into the official inserts.⚠️⚠️⚠️

So two babies, same “shot visit,” could have completely different aluminum exposures simply based on which brand their doctor’s office carries.☝🏻🩺

This is not about being for or against vaccines. It’s about being informed — as parents, and as colleagues.

When we say “DTaP shot,” we are usually not specifying which brand, yet brand choice can change exposure levels significantly.

💬 Comment BRAND and I’ll DM you a chart that breaks this down for the 2-month vaccines, showing aluminum amounts for both U.S. and European brands.

📤 Share this with:

A friend who has a newborn,

A parent who’s trying to decide between combo or single shots,

Or even a fellow pediatric colleague who may not realize the brand differences.

“Next, we’ll compare what happens when you give combo shots versus single shots — and why the total aluminum load can be very different.”

Shots don’t go straight into the blood. So what happens with aluminum adjuvants (ingredients added to vaccines to help ‘train’ the immune system) once they’re in a baby’s muscle? 🤔 Let’s talk balance.

💉 Adjuvants (extra ingredients that boost the immune response, usually aluminum salts) create sparks on purpose to train the immune system.

➡️ They’re injected under the skin or into the muscle — not directly into the bloodstream.
⏳ How long they stay there depends on many factors, like:

Kidney function
Prematurity
Weight

Genetics (for example, MTHFR mutations)

✨ The key takeaway: balance matters. If your baby has enough antioxidants (Vitamin C, Glutathione, Selenium), sparks are kept in check. If not, the burden may be higher.

👉 In the next episodes we’ll cover:

How adjuvants are cleared from the body

How much aluminum each brand actually contains (not all vaccines are the same — some have none, others more).

💬 Comment BALANCE and I’ll DM you a simple PDF guide showing:

Where aluminum adjuvants go in the body

Why clearance is different for every baby

Why antioxidants make such a difference

Why do some babies handle shots like pros… and others really struggle? 🤔 The answer often comes down to something called oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress is when there are too many sparks (free radicals) and not enough firefighters (antioxidants) to put them out.
🔥 Sparks = fevers, illness, even shots
👩‍🚒 Firefighters = antioxidants like Vitamin C & Glutathione

When balance is lost, oxidative stress can affect:
Immunity
Growth & development
Mood & behavior
In everyday life, sparks happen all the time. But what really matters is balance.

In the next episodes, I’ll show you:
✨ How immunizations add sparks on purpose (to train the immune system)
✨ How antioxidants step in to keep the fire under control

💬 Comment SPARK below and I’ll DM you my PDF visual guide to oxidative stress (the firefighters & sparks analogy).

Immunizations create sparks on purpose — in the next episode, I’ll explain why.

I’m starting a brand new series on immunizations.
Here’s the truth: I’m not anti-shot. I’m pro-information. 💡

As a pediatrician trained in both Europe and the U.S., I never received education on what’s actually in the vaccines — things like aluminum levels, preservatives, or how brands differ. And most pediatricians can’t tell you how many micrograms of adjuvant are in a given shot.

That’s why I created this series — to help parents (and colleagues) understand:
🔥 What vaccines do & how they work
🔥 What adjuvants like aluminum are, and why they’re used
🔥 Brand-by-brand differences in ingredients
🔥 Whether acetaminophen (APAP) is safe with shots
🔥 MTHFR mutations & detox
🔥 How to support your baby’s system after vaccines

If you’ve ever felt confused about how many shots, which brand, combo vs separate, or what’s safest — this series is for you.

“Not all shots are the same — even the same vaccine type can have very different ingredients depending on the brand. That’s where we start in Episode 1.”

👉 Drop INFO in the comments and I’ll DM you my PDF: a side-by-side look at the 2-month shots with exact ingredients, straight from the official inserts.

You think you’re giving your child something healthy… but even the clean supplements can fool you.

Most look perfect on the label — but the dose is so low it barely does anything.
I see it every day: parents bring bottles, we test labs — and nothing moves.

Who really checks each batch before they hit the shelves?

So you end up paying for flavor — not function.

Pretty packaging, “clean” claims — zero results.

Look for:
✅ Clean ingredients
✅ Real, science-based dosing
✅ Brands not owned by big pharma or big food

Because a supplement that doesn’t work is a waste of your money and your trust.
