When your child isn’t feeling well, knowing where to go can feel overwhelming — especially during cold and flu season.

Primary care sick visits are often best for common illnesses and lingering symptoms, urgent care can help with minor injuries or after-hours concerns, and the ER should always be used for severe or life-threatening symptoms.

At Happy Soul, we believe parents deserve guidance, not guesswork. Having direct access to your provider means support in the moment, clarity when you need it most, and care rooted in trust and relationship.

Winter brings its share of childhood illnesses—coughs, colds, RSV, flu, and other viral infections are common this time of year.

The good news? Many of these illnesses are manageable with supportive care, reassurance, and close monitoring.

Knowing what’s normal, what to watch for, and when to reach out can make sick seasons feel far less overwhelming. Our goal is to help families feel informed, supported, and confident—without panic or unnecessary urgent care visits.

You don’t have to navigate winter illnesses alone. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.

If your child is dealing with a sore throat, simple care at home can offer real relief. Gargling with warm salt water may help reduce irritation and swelling while soothing the throat naturally.

To try this at home, mix ½ teaspoon of salt into a glass of warm water and have your child gargle a few times a day — only if they’re old enough to do so safely.

Some families also choose gentle throat-support sprays, like kid-friendly propolis or herbal throat sprays, as an added comfort option. What works best can vary from child to child — trust your gut as a parent and do what feels right for your family.

Small, gentle steps like this can make a big difference when kids aren’t feeling their best. Simple care. Real comfort. 💙

A new year is the perfect time to rethink what healthcare should feel like. At Happy Soul Pediatrics & Family Medicine, we believe care should be personal, proactive, and rooted in real relationships—not rushed visits or confusing systems.

We focus on prevention, connection, and truly getting to know our patients—kids, adults, and entire families. That means longer visits, direct access to your provider, and care that meets you where you are in each season of life.

No rushing. No insurance headaches. Just thoughtful medicine, done differently. 🌿✨

❤️ Heart Health & Why Get Labs | Series - Part 4

Understanding your lipid panel is a powerful step in protecting your heart. In this episode, Kevin explains why cholesterol numbers matter, what your labs reveal about cardiovascular risk, and why routine blood work is essential—even when you’re feeling well.

Lipid panels help identify risk early, guide personalized lifestyle and nutrition changes, and support long-term heart health. Preventive care isn’t about waiting for symptoms—it’s about staying informed and proactive.

At Happy Soul, we use labs as tools to provide thoughtful, individualized care for every stage of life.

Cold & flu season is officially here—and a lot is circulating right now. 🤧🦠

This week in clinic, we’re seeing:
• RSV in babies and young children
• Common viral illnesses (like rhinovirus)
• Croup with that classic barky cough
• Strep throat (testing matters)
• Skin infections such as impetigo
• Influenza

Many illnesses can be managed with supportive care, but close monitoring of breathing, hydration, and feeding is especially important—particularly for infants and higher-risk family members.

This is a good reminder to support immune health, practice good hand hygiene, and stay home when sick. If something feels off with your child, trust your instincts and reach out early.

At Happy Soul Pediatrics & Family Medicine, we offer calm, connected, concierge-style care with direct access to your providers—so you’re never left guessing. 🌿

Protein plays a huge role in your child’s growth, energy, focus, and immune health — but many kids don’t get quite enough throughout the day. 💪🍎 The good news? Boosting protein intake doesn’t have to mean major changes or stressful meals.
Try simple swaps like Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt, oatmeal with nut butter instead of sugary cereals, or cheese + whole grain crackers instead of chips. It all adds up!

Easy ways to sneak more protein into meals:
🥜 Add nut butter to smoothies
🍝 Use high-protein pasta
🥚 Keep boiled eggs ready in the fridge
🫘 Mix beans into soups, tacos, or pasta

And kid-friendly snack ideas include hummus + pretzels, cottage cheese, turkey roll-ups, or protein waffles.

Small nutritional shifts can make a big difference — and we’re here to help your whole family build healthy, sustainable habits.
