It was my privilege to get to know Dr. Kilbane when she came through the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, where I served as fellowship director. She has emerged as a leader in this field and is one of the few board-certified pediatricians speaking up about the profound impact food has on childrens mental and physical health. In this world of information overload, Dr. Kilbane has created a step-by-step program to help you navigate your childs health. I strongly encourage you to read this book and go through her program with your whole family. You will see how practical and fun eating well and feeling good can be.

I know Dr. Kilbane well. She possesses a unique blend of smarts, heart, and passion that together give substance to her lifes work: improving the lives of children and their families, with a laser focus on nutrition.

Dr. Kilbanes program is credible and actionable and can help set the stage for children to become optimally well. That makes for a happy kid as well as a happy mom (and dad).

Im so grateful for Dr. Kilbane and her work to restore the health of our children! I am one of the fortunate parents who has been able to have Dr. Kilbane as an advisor to support my son, and she offers one-of-a-kind solutions that really work! No more trying things that only waste your time and money, and leave your poor baby still sick. I am super excited that these same solutions are now available to parents all over the world. This book is practical, is research-based, and provides a clear strategy to resolve common childhood ailments and to help children thrive the way they are meant to. She has taken into account the physiology and biochemistry of a childs system and, with her years of clinical experience, has created a new paradigm for childrens healthcare. This book can help you gain peace of mind about your childs health and allow you to take a break from being Dr. Mom and spending many late nights on Dr. Google, so you can enjoy the precious time you have together.
