If you have any interest in improving your kids sleep which in turn improves mental health👋, listen to this:
🎶 A brand new study found that listening to music for 30 minutes before bedtime may improve sleep:
Participants downloaded an app called *Music Star* and listened to music for at least 30 minutes at bedtime for 4 weeks.
👉 They experienced better sleep quality and longer sleep than people not listening to music.
The Music Star app is designed as a multicolored star, with each corner of the star linking to a different tempo of music:
🔵 Blue playlists are the quietest
🟢 Green playlists are more lively
🔴 Red playlists are the most upbeat
⚪ Gray playlists are more for focus
So, if you’re trying out new ideas for a bedtime routine or improve you or your kid's mental health, maybe you could think about adding music to the mix 🎶
When you're ready here's how Dr. Ellie can help:
When your child, teen or young adult child is grappling with gut issues, skin issues, menstrual problems, focus issues, hyperactivity, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, or perfectionism you know they are suffering. Tummy and headaches, getting sick a lot, and feeling run down take a toll on your child and on you.
You want to help the ones you love ease their suffering and alleviate their symptoms by
addressing their underlying medical conditions without going straight to adding pharmaceutical medications that can come with their own set of adverse side effects and complications.
As a holistic pediatrician, I uncover and treat the underlying root causes of symptoms while working to reduce the need for medications so they can get back to being a kid and reclaim their childhood joy.
With advanced diagnostic testing and a personalized treatment program I take a thoughtful, thorough, and caring medical approach to address your child’s health. We will address genetic factors, diet, gut health, lifestyle as I walk hand in hand with you and your child toward sustainable well being, resilience, and joy.
