Tablets & Toddlers ~ A Bad Combo!.Tablet device use in toddlers (ages 18m to 4y) had been rising but has HUGE RISKS!.
Here’s what research is showing about toddlers and tablets:
✅ Increased frustration and anger behavior
✅ Less positive interactions with parents, especially with boys 👦
✅ Less robust social and problem solving skills .
Engage with toddlers with more creative and physical play. They will be so much healthier!
Dyes…
🍭A multitude of studies show that artificial colors in food can cause behavior changes like poor focus and hyperactivity! They irritate the nervous system for a lot of kids.
🍭Kids are smaller so pound for pound they have a bigger body burden of these irritating chemicals.
🍭Finally, there is NO nutritional value to these dyes so why have them?!
🍭So yes to a BAN on food dyes in schools! Ideally at home too!
PANS: Part III ~ Nutrition🥗 If your doctor is not prescribing an anti-inflammatory diet, along with the antibiotics and anti-inflammatories needed for PANS/PANDAS, they are delaying your child’s healing!
👄 The reason for this is that the *foundation* of what your body can do for you comes in through your mouth.
👨🚒 Think of inflammation in the body like a fire that needs to be put out. If our fire hose is spraying gasoline, it’s making that fire worse. If it’s spraying water, it’s helping!
🥕 Anti-inflammatory (💦 on the fire)
🍟 Pro-inflammatory (⛽️ on the fire)
🍎 Make sure you have as much of soluble fiber & fermented foods as your child will take - start small, baby step it up.
Add turmeric to pump up the anti-inflammatory activity.
PANS: Part II ~ Gut Health
➡️Customized care therapy for each child.
➡️ Infections are a common trigger for the development of the behavior seen in PANS ~ anxiety, obsessive behaviors and/or selective eating. The common infections are strep and mycoplasma bacteria. Antibiotics are EFFECTIVE in the treatment protocol BUT they add to the inflammation in the gut.
➡️ Probiotics are a mainstay to healing the LEAKY GUT that comes from PANS and antibiotics. Probiotics are the healthy bacteria that we put into our gut with supplements ~ ideally containing multiple strains of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium. In addition, a probiotic called S boulardii specializes in gut repair.
➡️ Spices like turmeric 🫚are anti-inflammatory. Curcumin heals the gut lining. We love curcumin gummies by Nordic Naturals or drops by Leefy Organics. See below for links.

PANS (formerly known as PANDAS) is Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome.
😳 We see **sudden** onset of anxiety and/or different obsessive-compulsive behaviors, even severe food restriction.
🌪️ PANS literally comes on over 2 to 3 days, sometimes even overnight where the child wakes up and seems like a completely different person.
😞 It can be incredibly distressing to parents. 🩺 Often the pediatrician is not familiar with the syndrome or what to do.Ear
Listen in as we give you an overview of our approach to help these children heal.

PSA!!! Change is coming to our food supply! 🏭

The Dash (a poem):
….He noted first came the date of birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most was the dash between those years.
The dash represents all the time they spent alive on this earth and now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth...
My dad:
Expected me to succeed and always had faith in me
Taught me the value of family always
Modeled patience, humility and grace – lessons I am still learning
I experienced all my Dad’s goodness in living with him for the past three and half years and will miss his daily presence in my life.
My father, to me, will always be the Mahatma, a great soul who lived his dash with honor and great love

CINNAMON!
It does a body good and is TASTY!
🍴 Kitchen Hacks for Natural Healing 👨🍳
Cinnamon is one of the world's most ancient spices with a long history of use in India, China and Japan. It is thought to have arrived in Egypt in 2000 BC and in Europe around 500 BC. Cinnamon is OLD!😀
The bark is stripped from the shoots. The inner layer is then dried in the sun where it forms its characteristic curl called a QUILL. Cinnamon's primary action besides simply tasting GOOD is that it is warming spice, useful for digestion and effective against some infections.
Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure are two leading causes of illness with increased obesity in our modern world. Today's research shows cinnamon to be effective in helping treat Type II diabetes by increasing a cell's ability to respond to insulin. It can also help reduce blood pressure by improving circulation.
Using cinnamon to TREAT an illness requires taking about 3 tsp of cinnamon powder daily for 4 months. Prevention is easier... cinnamon can be mixed into many foods easily and tastes YUMMY! Done regularly along with healthy sleep habits and exercise, cinnamon may just ward off modern day illnesses!

Natural Ibuprofen? Really?!
Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory medication that is very useful for pain, arthritis, fevers and much more. It is an incredibly effective pharmaceutical medication. It does have side effects with prolonged use or when higher doses are needed such as
Upset stomach and abdominal pain
Potential to create stomach ulcers due to irritation of the stomach lining
Can create inflammation in the kidney
There is another option! Many foods are have anti-inflammatory effects such as apples and ginger. This is the foundation of the Natural Ibuprofen recipe that we have for you. If you don't have a juicer, you can use easily available NUT MILK bags to strain the juice in this recipe.

Love this simple recipe to make garlic oil! Great remedy for ear pain. Enjoy!
Ear infections are a common childhood illness. Most doctors will prescribe antibiotics but The ThriveWell Pediatricians don't need to 80% of the time!
We DON'T prescribe antibiotics a lot because most ear infections will resolve on their own, BUT there is still pain and fever to deal with. So we want to keep patients comfortable while the body heals itself. How? GARLIC OIL!!
There is currently a shortage! Did you KNOW you can make garlic oil? A healthy kitchen hack for healing ear pain right at home.

Hello! It’s Dr. Sant checking in from Florida!
It has been a time of challenge over the past year with losing my mother, watching my father navigate through aging and still settling into our new city.
On a more affirming and positive note, there has been tremendous growth! We made few changes to our home to really make it ours, we marvel at the dolphins we can see from our backyard and those of you who know I love football, the Jacksonville Jaguars are moving on up!
So, we are loving where we live more and more. In addition, my small medical practice here has grown, is thriving and completely FULL! I am blessed to have an amazing partner in Dr. Valerie Miles.
I have some exciting news to share! 2023 is going to be a year that I get to see come to life a vision that I have had for a long time. I want YOU to be part of it. We are creating an online course about natural and lifestyle remedies to support the optimal health of our children.
If you are interested and want premier access, please DM or comment. Spots are limited for the special offer and the discounted pricing in exchange for feedback. The course is focused on newborns through 1y of age but the knowledge can be applied to all ages easily. The official launch of The ThriveWell Baby Effect course is mid-February 2023.
You as my Ohio patient community have continued to be in touch, been supportive and you are missed! Thank you so much!
Please follow me at ThriveWell Pediatrics.
Happy Holidays to you and your family!
