There’s a pharmaceutical drug I wish more complex-care kids had access to…

That drug is leucovorin (folinic acid).

In clinical practice, I’ve seen folinic acid help support:
🧠 speech + communication
🤝 social connection
💫 stimming + stereotypies
😌 anxiety + OCD behaviors
⚡ mood + emotional regulation
🌀 seizures
🗣️ even fluency and stuttering

Why?

Because folinic acid supports the systems that are often compromised in complex kids:
✔️ the brain
✔️ mitochondria
✔️ neurotransmitter production
✔️ immune + inflammatory pathways
✔️ folate metabolism

If you want to understand why folinic acid works so well in certain kids (and how to tell if your child may benefit), I created a free guide called:

👉 The Brain–Folate Connection

It explains:
✨ the science
✨ how not enough folate in brain impacts your child’s mood
✨ therapeutic dosing
✨ how to test

I’m honored to be speaking at the upcoming MAPS Conference — truly the best pediatric health conference for clinicians caring for our most complex kids.

This event brings together the practitioners who are changing the trajectory of children’s lives and their families’ lives every single day.

I’ll be speaking on environmental triggers for PANS/PANDAS, a topic that’s often overlooked yet absolutely essential for improving clinical outcomes.

If you’re a practitioner committed to deeper understanding, advanced clinical tools, and real-world impact… you belong in this room.

Hope to see you there 💙

Folate → folium → foliage
Yep… this essential brain-supporting nutrient was literally named after leafy greens. 🌿

Your child’s brain loves the folate they’re getting through food…
but here’s the twist: some kids can’t actually use all the folate they eat.

When folate can’t move into the brain the way it should, mood and development can be impacted.

This is where deeper testing + targeted support can make a meaningful difference

Are blood draws traumatic for your child (and for you)?

There’s one hydration mistake I see parents make all the time: They hydrate right before the appointment.

But here’s why that rarely works ⬇️

Your child’s body needs time to increase blood volume from fluids.

More fluid in the bloodstream = fuller veins that are easier to see, feel, and access.

That means fewer sticks, less digging, and a more pleasant experience for everyone.

So instead, focus on:
💧 Fluids the day before
🍉 Water-rich foods
⚡ Electrolytes if your child gets dizzy, nauseous, or dehydrated easily

Hydrate early → plumper veins → less trauma.

🔔Save this as a reminder for your next bloodwork appointment

Supplements don’t have to be a daily fight.
And no — it doesn’t need to end in tears.

Here are 5 simple hacks to help kids take their supplements with less stress (for both of you):

1️⃣ Nut butters (almond, cashew, sunflower — they mask everything)
2️⃣ Honey for the sweet win 🍯
3️⃣ Hull of a berry — tuck the dose into a raspberry or blueberry
4️⃣ Tiny splash of juice + a water “chaser”
5️⃣ A syringe they get to control — kids love being in charge

✨ What’s your best trick for getting supplements in? Share below! 👇

If you remember ONE tool for stressful moments — let it be this.

It’s called the physiological sigh, and it’s the fastest way to reset your nervous system.

1️⃣Inhale through the nose
2️⃣Take a second quick inhale
3️⃣Long, slow exhale through the mouth

Just 1–3 rounds can melt the tension out of your body.

And here’s the best part: teach this to your kids.
Little nervous systems need simple tools too and this one works instantly.

Meltdowns and dysregulation are tough — for our kids and for us.

But having simple, easy-to-grab tools can help their nervous system shift from overwhelm back into calm.

Here’s what I keep in my son’s sensory basket:
✨ Makeup brush — gentle skin strokes
✨ Back scratcher — soothing touch
✨ Massage ball — roll along arms or legs
✨ Scalp massager — instant relaxation

These little tools give soothing sensory input that helps children move out of fight-or-flight and back into a grounded, steady state.

My son is home from school today with a cough, so before heading into work I whipped up a quick cough + sore throat syrup using just three ingredients already in my pantry.

Here’s what’s inside:

🧅 Onion — antimicrobial + immune support
🧄Garlic — powerful natural germ-fighter
🍯Local raw honey — coats + soothes the throat

How to make it:
1️⃣ Slice one onion
2️⃣ Lightly crush a few garlic cloves
3️⃣ Cover with local raw honey
4️⃣ Let sit at room temp until it becomes syrupy, then strain

👉 Give small spoonfuls throughout the day
👉 Store in the fridge — lasts up to 2 weeks

So simple. So effective. One more tool for those under-the-weather days.

If your child gets worse before they get better during treatment — try this simple bath.

Epsom salt + baking soda baths are one of my favorite home remedies for kids with complex needs. The trick is to use a 1:1 ratio of epsom salt and baking soda.
🛁 Magnesium from epsom salt calms the nervous system, supports detox, and promotes sleep.
🛁 Baking soda alkalizes the body — less acidity = fewer die-off reactions.

🎶 Humming isn’t just a “silly noise” kids make — it’s one of the body’s most powerful self-regulation tools.

✨ Activates the vagus nerve → calms the nervous system
 ✨ Boosts oxytocin → bonding + comfort
 ✨ Supports nitric oxide → blood vessel + immune health
 ✨ Reduces stress + blood pressure
 ✨ Clears sinuses + allergies
 ✨ Promotes better sleep

I first discovered the magic of humming through my older son, who asked me to hum him to sleep every night. What I noticed? It quiets both of our minds and helps us drift into rest more peacefully.

🚽 Potty training or p**p holding = a common (and frustrating) struggle parents face with their children

Here are 3 tricks to help kids stool daily:
1️⃣ Routine → sit on the potty daily, same time each day
2️⃣ Relaxation → give them a xylitol lollipop or popsicle (pear or cherry juice works great)
3️⃣ Incentives → don’t be afraid to reward consistency (wait till end to see what my som earned after 30 days!)

These tips help kids feel safe, supported, and successful during the bouts of constipation or potty training transitions 💩

The classic pattern of PANS/PANDAS is waxing and waning symptoms. If your child is struggling every day, it’s critical to rule out:��1️⃣ Vector-borne diseases → Bartonella, Babesia, Lyme disease, TBRF�2️⃣ Mold exposure → in the home, school, or environment�3️⃣ Yeast overgrowth → gut imbalances that impact mood and behaviors�
These are three of the most common triggers I see keeping kids stuck in constant flares
