Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Routines Change Everything for Toddlers w/ Jessica Irwin, OT
Q: What are practical tips to improve mealtime routines when a toddler resists or distracts?
Use visual cues like timers, create a calm table vibe, and ensure seating supports safety and visibility of food; also, keep the table a positive space with limited pressure around bites.
Why Routines Change Everything for Toddlers w/ Jessica Irwin, OT
Q: So for parents who are new to your work, could you describe what pediatric occupational therapy really is and how it supports daily life at home?
OTs focus on how daily activities—like eating, dressing, and sleeping—are affected by a child's skills and environment, and they adjust routines, surroundings, and supports to help the child function better, not just fix the child.
The Foundations of Whole Body Health for Moms and Kids with Erin Walkley, PA-C, RD
Q: How do environmental exposures factor into early childhood health, and where should families start?
Limit toxin exposure gradually by filtering water, avoiding heating food in plastic, choosing organic when possible for high-pesticide foods, using fragrance-free products, and improving indoor air quality.
The Foundations of Whole Body Health for Moms and Kids with Erin Walkley, PA-C, RD
Q: What practical steps can a mom take today to protect her baby's gut health from conception onward?
Ensure adequate prenatal nutrients, prioritize omega-3s, support vaginal birth when possible for initial microbial exposure, and introduce a diverse, colorful diet to encourage a healthy gut microbiome.
The Foundations of Whole Body Health for Moms and Kids with Erin Walkley, PA-C, RD
Q: What are the non-negotiable foundations you focus on for health, especially for women planning pregnancy or with young kids?
