1 in 13 children are experiencing allergies whether it's food or environmental allergies.  The presence of allergies increases the risk additional health conditions.  Functional Nutrition addresses root causes that can contribute to immune responses to allergies by addressing digestive and detoxification issues.  Many times, desensitizing the allergen is critical for relief in the child, lessening stress in the parent,  while addressing the root causes driving the immune response.  N.A.E.T is a non-invasive energy testing that is evidence-based and effective at reducing allergies.  

There are dozens of dietary interventions that can provide healing opportunities for children. Identifying which diet can be healing for your child, can be frustrating. In this podcast, parents will learn that salicylate intolerance may occur in their families. This is one of dozens of diets that can bring healing. Parents will learn the symptoms that their children may display that may suggest that foods higher in salicylates are a problem, how to eliminate them, reintroduce and support the pathways that become congested. If your child has symptoms that include seizures, asthma, digestive issues, skin rashes (eczema/psoriasis), hyperactivity, anxiety, lack of focus, neurological symptoms, this is a must listen to podcast. The first half of this podcast features Lynn explaining why identifying salicylate intolerance is critically important in helping your child heal, how to identify the symptoms, and dietary interventions. The second half of the podcast includes Lynn's interview with a parent, Alicia, who incorporated this diet over one year ago, the transition she made and how her family is doing so well as a result of implementing this diet.  

If you have experienced frustration with your conventionally trained medical doctor because there doesn't seem to be health improvements in your child, then you'll want to listen to this podcast.  I interview my friend and colleague, Dr. Jennie Walker who is a conventionally trained emergency room doctor who has acquired the training and certification as a Functional Medicine Doctor. Functional medicine doctors look for root causes, sources of imbalances to support the body in a healing process in addition to identifying symptoms and medication.  Dr. Walker is one of thousands of trained medical doctors who explore root causes and have found their way into the functional medicine model by their own frustration.  Find out about how Dr. Walker has adjusted to this change in training, thinking and in practice.

If you question whether ADD or ADHD is the correct diagnosis or if drugs are the best short term or long term plan, listen to this podcast about Neurofield work.  This is a non-invasive means to treat/improve and oftentimes resolve symptoms associated with ADD, ADHD, anxiety, mood issues, autistic symptoms and at times seizures. In the functional model, infections, toxins, nutritional deficiencies can contribute to symptoms associated with dozens of childhood symptoms.  Addressing these areas may or may not be enough to support or improve the symptoms.   Neurofield may be a perfect complimentary or solo therapy to help improve symptoms quickly and non-invasively. Dr. Dogris is the CEO and Co-founder of NeuroField, Inc., a company that develops specialized neurostimulation and neurofeedback modalities designed to restore functionality to the brain. He is a licensed psychologist in the state of California and specializes in Health Psychology, wellness, and mind-body physiology. He is an expert in QEEG brain mapping and is a board-certified QEEG Diplomate. He is also board-certified in neurofeedback through the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA). Over the last 25 years, Dr. Dogris has innovated many neurofeedback interventions and invented the NeuroField neurostimulation/neuromodulation system in 2007.

Lynn Altieri-Need came into this world questioning everything. She passionately believes that chronic health conditions in children, no matter how serious they appear to be, can be improved or overcome, because she's lived it herself as a child, as a mother and as a practitioner. Until now, Lynn has been limited by the number of clients she has been able to manage which is why she founded Kids Health 101 Podcast. Her intention is to reach tens of thousands of parents around the world that can give their child a better chance at health by delivering life-changing tools through her podcasts.

Today's podcast features an interview with Mr. Todd Hensley, the Exercise Science teacher at Mammoth Middle School.  The title of the podcast seems weak based on the wealth of information Todd Hensley shared in this interview. Science is suggesting that if our nation's kids keep moving in this health direction, many of them may not outlive their parents. 1 in 3 kids are at risk for obesity and children as young as 8 years of age are showing heart disease. Physical inactivity is the 4th leading cause of death behind blood pressure, tobacco and high blood sugar. Exercise can reduce diabetes by 50%, reduce cancer risk and slow down the aging process in us parents. Todd Hensley is a forward thinker.  He understands as an educator and developer of his unique Middle School Program that kids only get one body.  His mission is to 'provide students with the owner's manual to the one and only body they will ever own'. He shares all of his insights and passion into creating this public education program that's been effectively running for 10 plus years. why exercise rituals may determine their long term health outcome what is the key to making our kids be successful at health and exercise.  Hint: it has nothing to do with team sports. what we parents can do to improve our children's health outcome. Supporting the health and wellness of our children, Lynn P.S. Bone broth was briefly mentioned in our interview but the tremendous benefits were not.  Oops! Bone broth and meat stock are chocked full of amino acids, known as the building blocks of protein, necessary for repair and recovery.
