Show Notes:

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!

Dr. Elana interviews guest Dr. Michelle Hu, a pediatric audiologist, mother of 3 and is a wearer of bilateral cochlear implants. Michelle is an advocate for the DHH community - DHH stands for deaf/hard of hearing. This is a community we have not yet honored on our podcast, and we couldn’t have chosen a better guest than Dr. Michelle.

Michelle is the founder of Mama Hu Hears, a space for DHH individuals and their families to access resources and to provide a source of strength and hope for parent’s and children with hearing loss. She shares both personal and professional information to help raise DHH awareness, empower hearing parents raise strong and confident DHH children, and improve advocacy skills. 

Dr. Michelle recently launched her signature progam - “My Child has hearing loss, now what?” to help support parents who have children with a diagnosis of hearing loss navigate what to expect and most importantly feel EMPOWERED with their choices. 

This interview is not only for the DHH community… it is for anyone who wants to really learn what this community goes through so we can empathize better, know what to say and what to do when we meet a DHH individual. *And also know what NOT to say or do! Ultimately, we want you to feel more equipped to support parent’s and kiddos who are part of the DHH community.  

Topics Discussed:

  • What does DHH mean and what individuals are included as part of this community
  • Tips moms want to know when meeting DHH moms or moms with DHH children
  • What to avoid saying to DHH individuals 
  • How motherhood is effected by being a DHH mom
  • How to support the DHH community
  • Resources for parents with DHH children

Show Notes:

Michelle Hu has been a pediatric audiologist for over 13 years working specifically with the diagnosis, hearing amplification, cochlear implant evaluation, programming and aural rehabilitation. Something unique about her is that she grew up hard of hearing herself. She was fit with hearing aids at 3 years and now utilizes bilateral cochlear implants.

Her personal experience lends to her uncanny ability to relate and be a role model for others with hearing loss and source of strength and hope for parents of children with hearing loss. She is the founder of Mama Hu Hears, a space for DHH individuals and their families. She shares both personal and professional information to help raise DHH awareness, empower hearing parents raise strong and confident DHH children and improve advocacy skills.

Dr. Elana interviews Dr. Gabriela Sheets, a human biologist and mama who has spent over a decade researching the early development of the infant microbiome (how babies acquire important microorganisms in and on their bodies).

Their formula contains 14 clinically-backed types of digestive enzymes that support the optimal digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, as well as sensitive foods like dairy, gluten, and legumes, throughout the entire spectrum of your digestive tract.

There has been a recent threat to homeopathy worrying mothers around the country. Some of us lose sleep at night with the idea that homeopathy may be taken away from us - the idea that we visit our health food store to not see our favorite trusted remedies on the shelves seems unimaginable and quite frankly wrong. We worry for our children, for our grandchildren. Many of us rely on homeopathic remedies to help our children when sick - they are our go-to Doctor Mom tool. How can this be?

Rest assured mama - we are FIGHTING and we are fighting hard. And we have an amazing organization called Americans for Homeopathy Choice who are well prepared, organized, and have already proven to have an effective voice to make CHANGE!

Please welcome to today’s episode Paola Brown, president of Americans for Homeopathy Choice, along with Laura Held, the organization's grassroots leader. We had a great chat with them to learn more about their organization, and to clarify the common misconceptions going around about homeopathy being illegal (which it is not!) or if we are at risk of losing homeopathy overnight (again no we aren't!!) 

This episode will help CALM your anxiety, address concerns and most of all teach you ways how to take action and SAVE homeopathy! 

Whether you are in the season of motherhood where you have extra time to give to advocacy, or if you simply only have a few extra seconds here and there and want to help - we talk about ways for any mom to be involved and truly make a difference!  We encourage you to at the very least to visit their website at homeopathychoice.org and check out their offers.  

For the mother who has little time - at the very least join their email and text alerts so you know when to send a letter or comment when we need to show the government that the masses want homeopathy to stay.  If you have more time and want to learn how to meet with your representatives, join the Homeopathy Action Team! In today’s episode, we discuss what that entails.  If you have the desire to donate to the organization we ask you to consider this too. 

Paola and Laura are busy mothers themselves. The leaders of this strong organization are passion- fueled and more members and donations are what keep organizations like this strong and ready to fight - when we need them the most.

We are so excited to bring you this episode … there is a lot you can do as a Doctor Mom! We got this!

Topics Discussed:

  • How does Americans for Homeopathy Choice advocate for homeopathy
  • Is homeopathy being deemed illegal?
  • Will homeopathy be removed from the marketplace? 
  • How can we save homeopathy? 
  • What does it look like to get involved 

Show Notes:

Paola Brown is president and founder of Americans for Homeopathy Choice, the voice of a growing number of mothers and other homeopathy users who want to protect their right to choose homeopathy. Paola is a wife and mother of three who has previously taught many introductory homeopathy classes. She received a B.A. in English education and an M.A. in curriculum and instruction from Arizona State University graduating summa cum laude both times. She taught college English for 13 years and high school English before that. Fluent in Portuguese and Spanish, Paola was also a health instructor with Care for Life, a nonprofit organization working to develop sustainable communities in Mozambique. 

Laura is a wife, mother, home educator, and student at the Academy of Homeopathy Education. As the Grassroots Director for Americans for Homeopathy Choice, Laura oversees the nationwide volunteer advocacy team advancing the organization's efforts to foster the inclusion of the consumer voice in policy decisions on homeopathic medicine. She previously worked for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and was integral to the development of the U.S. Currency Education Program and training domestic and global stakeholders for the launch of the new-design $100 note.
