A holistic pediatric practice with a focus on prevention and health

01/16/2026

I’ve seen cases like this too many times to count. A patient barely functioning, tired, nauseous, overwhelmed, emotionally flat, and everyone keeps saying it's in their head.

Then you find the mold; under the floors, behind a wall, somewhere no one thought to look. And, in the case of this little girl, within weeks of removing the source, she started laughing again and reconnecting with life.

I share this story and a whole more on my full podcast discussion with Dr. Ben Weitz.

💬 Comment “Ben” and I’ll send you the full podcast. It’s an important discussion every parent needs to be aware of.

Wanted to wish you all a beautiful New Year, filled with light, love, and joy. Thank you for being a part of this community and encouraging me to keep pushing the boundaries of pediatric care. In this new year I hope to bring you information to help you protect and improve the health of your family.

This is a powerful story of a mother who witnessed her daughter regress into autism overnight. Despite her being a healthcare professional, no one believed her.

Every night after bedtime, she’d walk out of the room and break down crying.

Not because of exhaustion, but because her daughter didn’t feel present. Aggression, anxiety, “drunken” walking, constant fatigue... and no real answers.

What she was witnessing wasn’t just autism. It was something deeper: biotoxin illness; triggering neuroinflammation, vestibular issues, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

The biggest issue is that most doctors miss these, so you have to know when and what to look for as early as possible.

Comment "Parent" and I’ll send you the full presentation in which I explain how we helped bring her daughter back.⤵️

The microbiome is critical to human health. We know that diet, stress, and toxins can influence the health of our microbiome.

How often do you hear a discussion around how our homes, schools, places of work may be impacting our gut and microbiome?

Did you know that our immune system plays a critical role in shaping and managing our microbiome?
Did you know that our mitochondria are the regulators of this immune response?

This is a presentation on how toxins released in damp environments impact the mitochondria and immune system, along with the gastrointestinal tract, creating the perfect storm for significant and chronic gut dysfunction.

To see the full presentation, type “Microbiome” and you will be sent a link to the full presentation.⤵️

We call it eczema, but what if it’s actually a warning light?

Because it’s rarely just a skin issue. Most of the time, the kids I see with chronic eczema also deal with food sensitivities, digestive problems, constant illnesses, and mood or focus issues.

I used to put kids on ultra-restrictive elimination diets, until I started asking WHY their immune systems were reacting in the first place.

The deeper I dug, the more I found one common thread: fungal issues and mold exposure, especially in the early years of life. These disrupt the gut, irritate mast cells, and confuse the immune system, causing it to react to everything.

And for many of these kids, the eczema is just the surface of a much bigger storm inside.

Do you have a kid or know someone with one who suffers from eczema? If so, what’s their life looking like? I’ll try to help as many people as possible in the comments.⤵️

Most parents have never heard of this compound.

But if your child has learning disabilities, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, or sensory overwhelm, you need to understand what and how histamine works.

It’s one of the most powerful (and overlooked) chemicals in the brain. And when it’s out of balance, it can wreak havoc on focus, behavior, and regulation.

This might be the missing piece you’ve been searching for.

Comment "Chemicals" and I’ll send you a very detailed article that goes deep into it.⤵️

Sounds familiar, right?

Why does it feel like they're constantly moving, bouncing, fidgeting?

Most parents and practitioners put a label on it, say it’s ADHD, and call it a day. But why do we stop there? Why don’t we ask ourselves why these kids have ADHD?

Sometimes it’s a lack of interest on the practitioner’s side to dig deeper, and sometimes it’s the whole medical field saying “it’s just genetics,” when no concrete answer can be found.

That’s why I’m asking all of you to do your research and not stop at the first “This is all we can do.”

Could your home be the reason your family got sick?

I’ve seen this way too often. A family renovates, replaces windows, water pipes, or moves into a beautiful new place… and weeks later, someone starts getting really sick. Kids’ symptoms appear, and all of a sudden, things shift, but no one connects it to the house.

We’re generally not aware of how biological toxins like mold can silently affect our health and how, when you breathe in something harmful thousands of times a day, your body feels it, and the kids even more.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your environment could be the cause, PLEASE don’t ignore that instinct.

Comment "Wall" and I’ll send you a link to a really good mold test kit + a discount code to check for mold in your home.⤵️

My office in Santa Monica is in need of a wonderful Front Desk Manager or Medical Assistant. After over 3 years of amazing care and service, our beloved Front Desk Manager has decided that it is time to try something outside of healthcare.

We are looking for someone who loves working with kids and wants to help us provide the best care to all those families in need. Experience in healthcare or at least in office administration is preferred, but not mandatory.

If you are interested, comment "Hiring" and I'll send you the link to the Google Form application or copy this link: https://forms.gle/yWXRTn7JmHpsc7Le7

I’ve sat with too many kids who think there’s something wrong with them.

They say they’re dumb. They say they’re broken. But what I see is a child whose system is overloaded and no one’s asking why.

I’ve seen kids go from one-on-one aides and daily meltdowns to focused, regulated, thriving students; not because they got the right diagnosis, but because we finally addressed what was driving the chaos.

Sometimes it’s mold … sometimes it’s inflammation… and sometimes it’s both.

But when we support the body and calm the nervous system, everything changes, for the child, for the family, for their future.

If this hits close to home, comment “Dampness” and I’ll send you a presentation that explains how mold and moisture in your environment could be affecting your child’s brain and behavior.⤵️

A candida cleanse won’t work if the real problem is still in your gut.

Candida is meant to be there; it’s part of a healthy microbiome, but when the gut becomes inflamed, imbalanced, or leaky, that harmless microbe can turn into a beast.

If your candida keeps coming back, it’s not because the cleanse failed. It’s because your gut is still creating the perfect environment for it to thrive.

Have you ever tried a ‘candida’ diet before? I'm really curious.
