  • Vitamin D is one of the most common deficiencies in children and one of the most overlooked. If your child has never been tested, this episode is worth a listen.

If your child has been getting sick over and over or if vitamin D has never come up at a well visit, this one is for you.

    Topics Covered In This Episode:

    Why Vitamin D Matters and Which Kids Are Most at Risk

    Testing: What the Labs Say vs. What They Mean

  • The moment you realize your kid has pinworms is one of those mom moments nobody prepares you for. The embarrassment, the overwhelm, the pile of laundry you're already mentally sorting. This is the calm voice you needed five minutes ago.

    Pinworms are the most common parasite found in children and they spread fast. Not because of anything you did wrong, but because kids are kids. They touch everything, put their hands in their mouths, and share germs the way most of us share snacks. It happens in the cleanest homes, to the most attentive moms and it happens all the time.

    In this episode, Dr. Elana breaks it all down so you can stop spiraling and start doing. She covers exactly what pinworms are and why they move through families so quickly, the fastest treatment plan she personally recommends (including the one she used in her own home while pregnant) and the wash, hygiene, cover routine that stops reinfection before it derails everything you just did. You'll also get her doctor mom pro tips, including a simple bedtime trick that makes the whole process a lot more manageable than it sounds right now.

    Topics Covered In This Episode:

    What Are Pinworms and Why Are They So Common

    Fastest Pinworm Treatment Plan for Kids

    How to Prevent Pinworm Reinfection at Home

    Morning Routine to Stop Pinworms From Spreading

    In this episode, Dr. Elana walks through her full three-step fever framework: when it's okay to do nothing except hydrate and rest, which comfort therapies to try first (including cold wet socks), and how to use natural Tylenol substitutes like homeopathy and herbs before ever reaching for a fever reducer. You'll also learn exactly when conventional medicine still has a place, because being a Doctor Mom means having a full toolbox, not just one option.

  • Cold wet sock therapy sounds strange. But once you see why it works, you will want cotton socks and wool socks on standby every sick season!

    In this video, Dr. Elana breaks down exactly how cold wet sock therapy works, when to use it beyond fevers and how to do it step by step. This simple home remedy supports the immune system by increasing circulation throughout the body and it works for more than just fevers. Congestion, sore throats, headaches, coughs, sinus pressure and general sick day discomfort all respond to it too! The whole setup costs about $3 and takes three minutes, making it one of the most practical tools you can add to your sick day toolkit tonight.

She covers age-specific guidance from toddlers to teens, flags the ingredients to avoid in conventional brands, and shares three real food alternatives that actually work.

  • If your child starts feeling off and your first thought is "what do I even reach for?" this episode was made for you. Dr. Elana breaks down one of the most practical frameworks she teaches inside the Doctor Mom Membership: the difference between general immune support and targeted natural therapies, and why understanding that one distinction will change how you stock your medicine cabinet forever. She shares her top three go-to general immune supplements for kids, including why timing and frequency matter more than most moms realize, and how layering general and targeted remedies is exactly how she builds her protocols. She also walks you through the bucket theory, a simple but powerful concept that explains why some kids seem to get sick constantly and what foundational daily habits actually move the needle on resilience. Plus, Dr. Elana has a free immune support checklist guide you can grab right now with her favorite brands, recommended amounts, and a clear guide for both prevention and when symptoms first appear.

    Topics Covered In This Episode:

    General immune support vs targeted natural remedies for kids

    Elderberry, echinacea and zinc for childhood illness

  • After nearly a decade of podcasting, the Doctor Mom Podcast is back with a bold new format built around what busy moms actually need: shorter, more practical, pediatric-focused episodes that fit into your real life. Dr. Elana and Steph Greunke walk you through everything changing this season and why. Solo episodes are now 10 to 20 minutes, the podcast is live on YouTube, and the content is going deeper on the pediatric topics you care most about.

    Dr. Elana previews her upcoming solo topics including immune support strategies, the cold wet sock method for fevers, Tylenol alternatives, and everything moms need to know about pinworms. Steph shares her lineup covering iron deficiency in kids, hydration and electrolytes, vitamin D supplementation, and summer nutrition for the whole family. They also preview upcoming interviews on holistic allergy solutions, vaccine advocacy after the new CDC schedule updates, fiber and kids gut health, and sports nutrition for young athletes.

    Beyond the podcast updates, they get honest about screen time boundaries that actually hold, navigating months of home disruption with a crawling baby in tow, and how Dr. Elana is approaching solid foods differently this time using a gut-healing GAPS-inspired method after a family history of eczema and food allergies. Pull up a chair, mama. This one is worth every minute.

    Topics Covered In This Episode:

    New pediatric podcast format and solo episodes

    Screen time limits and boundaries for kids

    GAPS approach to starting solids for babies

    Iron deficiency and vitamin D in children

  • When kids reach the ages of five through twelve, their emotions often become bigger, more complex, and harder to navigate for both parents and children. In this conversation, Alyssa Blask Campbell, M.Ed., CEO and founder of Seed & Sew, helps parents understand what is really happening in a child's nervous system during big emotional moments. We talk about why kids can know better but still struggle to do better, how sensory needs and nervous system regulation impact behavior, and why power struggles often show up after long school days.
