Dr. Elana interviews Dr. Michelle Young - a fellow pediatric naturopathic doctor. Dr. Michelle and Dr. Elana go way back - when Michelle was a student she would shadow Dr. Elana - watching how she treated her patients and how she conducted her vaccine consults. Now Dr. Michelle is a licensed doctor herself and Dr. Elana is SO proud to call her a colleague. Dr. Michelle does incredible work with her patients and also offers online programs to help support moms and kids around the world. You can learn more about her work by following her Instagram page @dr.michelle_young.
Today’s episode is unique in that the interview Dr. Elana did with Dr. Michelle actually comes directly from her Doctor Mom Membership.

My story:
I was diagnosed with chronic constipation and leaky gut at the age of 21.
At the time, I knew nothing about food allergies or sensitivities. Though when I look back on my childhood now, I recognize that I suffered the symptoms of chronic inflammation and reactions to food from an early age.
When I learned why I was having severe stomach pains and fluctuations in stool for years, I was exhausted. I had been through the ringer of the conventional medical system, finding no true answers to my concerns. That’s when I found naturopathic medicine.
What I discovered was a complete paradigm shift around healing our bodies and what it meant to truly be healthy. I also realized just how important health in childhood really is. The naturopathic approach made sense, I felt better than I ever had before, and since then I have made it my mission to share this medicine with others. This led me to attending the top naturopathic medical school in the country, Bastyr University in San Diego, CA, where I earned my doctorate.
My goal is to help your child feel better and stay healthy for years to come. I am not just trying to make their symptoms go away, but to truly treat the underlying cause so that they can thrive and become healthy adults. I can’t promise healing for your child will be linear or not take any effort, but I can promise that I will support you and your family along the way.
In my free time, you can find me at the local farmer’s markets finding fresh ingredients to cook with, somewhere out in nature, or spending time with her husband and pup, Chief!

Steph interviews Michelle Shapiro, an integrative/ functional registered dietitian about how to approach body composition change and health in a more holistic way. Michelle has helped over 1000 clients reverse their anxiety, heal their gut issues and approach their weight lovingly. Michelle is vocal in the functional nutrition space about bridging the gap between body positivity and intentional health changes. In this episode, they talk about the diet industry, health at every size movement, and the shame some women feel when they have the desire to change. They talk about the emotional and spiritual side of weight loss, a part that often gets neglected in traditional calories in, calories out models. Michelle shares what’s been working for her clients, which doesn’t come down to having more “willpower”. You’ll love the honest dialogue between these two practitioners and walk away feeling more seen, heard, and understood.
Topics Discussed:
How to approach your weight and body lovingly
How to reduce shame around wanting to lose weight
