Victory 👏👏👏

Great news for families! The FDA is phasing out six synthetic food dyes by the end of 2026, including Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, and Green 3. This means safer, cleaner foods for our kids are on the way. 🎉

These artificial dyes have been linked to health concerns like hyperactivity, behavioral challenges, migraines, and even potential cancer risks. For example:

🔵 Blue 1 may affect behavior and cause cellular damage

🔴 Red 40 has connections to aggression and ADHD symptoms

🟡 Yellow 5 & 6 have been tied to anxiety, fatigue, and headaches

Many major food companies are already committing to removing these dyes by 2027, signaling a big step toward better nutrition.

What can you do now?

✔️ Read ingredient labels carefully

✔️ Choose whole, minimally processed foods

✔️ Look for natural colorings like beet juice and turmeric

At Be Well Pediatrics, we support families in making healthy, informed choices every day. Have questions about food additives or nutrition? Reach out anytime!

🌱 Root Cause Treatment
✔️Focus: Identifies and addresses the underlying reason for a problem.
✔️Goal: Eliminate the source so the issue doesn’t return.
✔️Example: Treating high blood pressure by changing diet, reducing stress, and addressing hormonal imbalances.
🧠 Think of this as pulling a w**d out by the roots so it doesn’t grow back.

🌡️ Symptom Treatment
✔️Focus: Alleviates the visible effects of a problem.
✔️Goal: Provide quick relief or short-term management.
✔️Example: Taking painkillers for headaches without addressing chronic dehydration or eye strain.

🩹 This is like putting a band-aid on a wound without treating the infection underneath.

🔁 Why the Difference Matters:
✔️Symptom treatment can offer temporary relief, but the problem often comes back—or worsens.
✔️Root cause treatment may take longer and more effort but leads to lasting solutions.

In most cases, a combination of both is useful: symptom treatment for short-term comfort, and root cause treatment for long-term healing or success.

… and a time for every matter under heaven.

What season are you in right now?

All 📣 health 📣 starts 📣 in 📣 the 📣 gut

Sometimes gut issues are not always symptoms like gas, bloating, diarrhea or constipation 💩

If you think your gut is talking in less obvious ways then let’s chat…

1) Skin issues- Skin is a reflection of what’s going on on the inside. Treat the inside and the skin will heal. Is your skin your gut’s red flag?

2) Poor immunity- are you constantly ill? The majority of your immune system resides in your gut. Stop the cycles of illness by making your gut strong.

3) Headaches/migraines- have you heard of the gut brain axis? The connection between gut and brain is undeniable.

4) Constant cycles of food sensitivities- You’re constantly eliminating foods and trying to avoid things that bother you without any resolve. What if the food wasn’t the enemy in the first place?! (This does NOT apply to food allergies!)

5) Impaired fertility- Again, all health starts in the gut!! If your body doesn’t have good gut health it won’t prioritize other things… like reproduction 🤍

This applies to pregnancy and breastfeeding.

This is why it’s imperative for moms to be well nourished. If baby needs calcium it will pull from mom’s bones or teeth. If baby needs minerals. It will pull from mom’s organs. If baby needs ANYTHING… mom’s body will oblige.

This is why we see so many health problems postpartum.

Picture it: PPD, baby blues, adrenal fatigue, thyroid problems, anxiety, excessive hair loss.

But let’s peel it back a layer?! What if this was all just severe cases of post natal depletion?!

Nourish the mother ➡️ nourish the baby.

He made the storm be still and the waves of the sea were hushed.
Then they were glad the waters were quiet.
And He brought them to their desired haven 🤍

If you want your children to eat healthy.
Then eat healthy.
If you want your children to be strong.
Then exercise.
If you want your children to speak lovingly and kindly to others…
Then speak with grace in your heart and your voice.
If you want your children to live a life of integrity.
Then set a good example and do the same.

Do 👏 it 👏 for 👏 them 👏

Children are a heritage from The Lord.
