I Heal Kids Podcast
With Dr. Ellie

Pediatric care shouldn't be a race against time. Most practices focus on volume, not the root causes of health issues. In my practice, we prioritize longer visits, direct access, and prevention-first approaches. It's about understanding your child's environment and body, not just quick fixes.

There’s a foundation in pediatric care that’s often overlooked: the system itself. Most pediatric practices are built around billing codes, patient throughput, and insurance constraints — not deep, relationship-based care. This means rushed visits, limited time for questions, and a disconnect from what families truly need: time, understanding, and prevention. When I talk to parents who are intentional about their child’s health — asking about gut health, detoxing, or avoiding unnecessary antibiotics — they often feel dismissed or rushed. But health isn’t a sprint; it’s about catching patterns early, addressing root causes, and building resilience over time. Real change starts with a model that prioritizes relationship, time, and natural approaches. It’s not about doing more — it’s about doing better, together.

The way traditional pediatric care is structured might be sabotaging your child's health — and you probably didn't even realize it. Drop a 💡 if you've ever felt rushed at the doctor and left with more questions than answers 🚼 I became a pediatrician to support families who want deeper, preventive care, but the system isn't built for that. Most visits are squeezed into 10 minutes, pushing natural remedies and root cause solutions aside — all because of insurance-driven practices. It doesn’t have to be that way. Imagine having longer, meaningful visits where your child's unique needs are truly heard — no pressure, no rushing, just real support. You deserve a model that aligns with your values: natural health, prevention, and peace of mind. Worth thinking about: Are you settling for reactive care, or are you ready to prioritize your child's long-term health?
