About the episode:

When Dr Kilbane discovered the impact food was having on the skin and ear infections of one of her young patients, she got curious. Since she received little nutrition education in her medical training, that experience prompted a deep dive into how parents could use food to support their children’s health. Dr Kilbane explains why she now considers nutrition as a core pillar in her pediatric practice (and the 4 other pillars), she discusses some of the challenges she faces helping families learn to use food strategically, and explains what she wishes every parent knew about feeding their kids.

Guest Bio:

She uses the best of conventional and integrative medicines to identify and treat the root cause of children’s illnesses, significantly improving or resolving altogether issues like colic, reflux, eczema, recurrent ear and sinus infections, asthma, allergies, constipation or loose stools, and other GI issues such as abdominal pain.
