For the first time, the CDC vaccine schedule officially reflects that not every child has the same risk and that some vaccines now fall under 'shared decision making' between you and your doctor. Here's how to actually use that.

In this episode, Dr. Elana sits down with Dr. Ari Calhoun, ND to unpack the most significant shift in how the CDC frames childhood vaccination. The updated schedule now includes three categories: vaccines recommended for all children, vaccines for high-risk groups and vaccines based on shared decision making. Dr. Ari and Dr. Elana break down what those categories actually mean at a real doctor's visit, how to figure out your child's individual risk factors, which questions to bring to your pediatrician and what a pre and post vaccine support protocol can look like for families who want to minimize adverse reactions while still gaining the benefit of vaccination.

Whether you are fully on board with the CDC schedule, considering an alternative plan or somewhere in the middle, this episode gives you the language and the framework to make decisions that actually fit your child.

Topics Covered In This Episode:

• The CDC's New Vaccine Schedule Categories

• What 'Shared Decision Making' Actually Means at a Doctor's Visit

• How to Know if Your Child Is High Risk

• The Key Risk Factors: Daycare, Gut Health, Breastfeeding, and More

• Do You Have to Complete Every Dose? (And Can You Switch Brands?)

• Questions to Ask Your Pediatrician at Every Vaccine Visit

• Navigating Anxiety: When Vaccine Fear or Illness Fear Is Running the Show

• How the Inflammatory Response Works and What You Can Do About It

• How to Walk Into Your Pediatrician's Office Feeling Confident

I realized early on that my dream career was to become a sports dietitian. Growing up a competitive dancer and swimmer, I was always intrigued by the impact eating certain foods before a competition or meet had on my performance. I had a love for science and how nutrition could have either the most beneficial or detrimental impact on both athletic performance and overall health.

My professional experience began after receiving Bachelor of Science degrees in both Dietetics and Exercise Science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I went on to complete my dietetic internship at Saint Louis University to earn my title as a Registered Dietitian and a Master of Science Degree in Nutrition & Physical Performance.

Since founding Eleat Sports Nutrition® in June 2014, I have worked with hundreds of high school, college, and professional athletes nationwide in MLB, NFL, and NHL. I published Fuel Your Body: How to Cook and Eat for Peak Performance in 2021, and work as a media spokesperson for several brands across the health and wellness industry. Whether assisting an adult with weight management or educating an athlete on what to eat to improve their performance, I have a passion for helping others achieve their goals and teaching them how to make healthy eating a part of their daily lifestyle.

The moment you realize your kid has pinworms is one of those mom moments nobody prepares you for. The embarrassment, the overwhelm, the pile of laundry you're already mentally sorting. This is the calm voice you needed five minutes ago.

Pinworms are the most common parasite found in children and they spread fast. Not because of anything you did wrong, but because kids are kids. They touch everything, put their hands in their mouths, and share germs the way most of us share snacks. It happens in the cleanest homes, to the most attentive moms and it happens all the time.

In this episode, Dr. Elana breaks it all down so you can stop spiraling and start doing. She covers exactly what pinworms are and why they move through families so quickly, the fastest treatment plan she personally recommends (including the one she used in her own home while pregnant) and the wash, hygiene, cover routine that stops reinfection before it derails everything you just did. You'll also get her doctor mom pro tips, including a simple bedtime trick that makes the whole process a lot more manageable than it sounds right now.

Topics Covered In This Episode:

• What Are Pinworms and Why Are They So Common

• Fastest Pinworm Treatment Plan for Kids

• How to Prevent Pinworm Reinfection at Home

• Morning Routine to Stop Pinworms From Spreading

• Daily and Evening Routines During Treatment

• When to Call a Doctor for Pinworms

Tylenol isn't the only answer when your child has a fever. Here's what a Naturopathic Doctor reaches for first, and when conventional fever reducers actually make sense.

In this episode, Dr. Elana walks through her full three-step fever framework: when it's okay to do nothing except hydrate and rest, which comfort therapies to try first (including cold wet socks), and how to use natural Tylenol substitutes like homeopathy and herbs before ever reaching for a fever reducer.

Cold wet sock therapy sounds strange. But once you see why it works, you will want cotton socks and wool socks on standby every sick season!

In this video, Dr. Elana breaks down exactly how cold wet sock therapy works, when to use it beyond fevers and how to do it step by step. This simple home remedy supports the immune system by increasing circulation throughout the body and it works for more than just fevers. Congestion, sore throats, headaches, coughs, sinus pressure and general sick day discomfort all respond to it too! The whole setup costs about $3 and takes three minutes, making it one of the most practical tools you can add to your sick day toolkit tonight.

Topics Covered In This Episode:

• What electrolytes actually are and why they matter

• When kids genuinely need electrolytes

• Age-by-age hydration guidance
