I loved this book as it gave a lot of insights into how we can change one's condition or improve from illness by having nutritional food that is right for the person. I learned more about dairy and food that cause inflammation and allergic foods that affect the gut. We can improve our health and our kids by looking at what we eat in a day and how it affects us or causes any health issue like indigestion, infection etc.,

We all know doctors give medicine for the symptoms and may forget to find the leading underlying cause behind it, the nutrition requirement, environment, and stress which are causing inflammation. Making small healthy changes one by one can be more effective in that we can lessen the visits to our doctor.

Kudos to author Sheila for bringing out her experience as a paediatrician and naturopathic doctor. The way she observed each of her patients and her thought process to bring some changes into their lives and enlighten the mothers with her knowledge is great and thanks for the insights.

The book is the right for moms and moms to be to understand how they should hear their gut feeling when it comes to their children. The diet mentioned in the plan and the recipes are very helpful.

This is an indispensable resource for taking a holistic health approach focused on children's health. The author focuses heavily on inflammation and gut health, which are intricately tied to all diseases. While medicine can sometimes be necessary, her book seems to mainly follow the old adage that prevention is the best medicine. It is heavily researched with resources in the back of the book, as well as an appendix with RDAs, recommendations, further reading, and many more resources. She challenges the standard American diet and suggests easy lifestyle changes that can make a drastic difference in the health of a child. She includes a number of natural recipes that look healthy and yummy, as well as list of prepackage items that make the health cut as well. This is a fantastic and much needed book on the subject of pediatric health and nutrition.
