“Dr. Kilbane provides a clear, methodical approach to understanding the profound impact nutrition has on the health of our children. She offers a practical guide to changing your child’s diet in order to improve overall health and to stop the cycle of recurrent illnesses. I recommend this book as a must-read for parents.”
“It was my privilege to get to know Dr. Kilbane when she came through the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, where I served as fellowship director. She has emerged as a leader in this field and is one of the few board-certified pediatricians speaking up about the profound impact food has on children’s mental and physical health. In this world of information overload, Dr. Kilbane has created a step-by-step program to help you navigate your child’s health. I strongly encourage you to read this book and go through her program with your whole family. You will see how practical and fun eating well and feeling good can be.”
“I know Dr. Kilbane well. She possesses a unique blend of smarts, heart, and passion that together give substance to her life’s work: improving the lives of children and their families, with a laser focus on nutrition. Readers of Healthy Kids, Happy Moms will access a clear guide for raising healthy children, one supported by research and experience, providing important information only rarely touched upon during a traditional time-constrained doctor’s visit. Dr. Kilbane’s program is credible and actionable and can help set the stage for children to become optimally well. That makes for a happy kid as well as a happy mom (and dad).”
“When I met Dr. Kilbane and learned about her work, the first words out of my mouth were: ‘Where were you when my boys were young?’ They struggled with many of the issues this book helps improve or, in some cases, resolve altogether. She has become a leader in the field of pediatric health and nutrition. Her program is proactive toward your child’s health. She doesn’t take the all-too-common ‘wait and see’ approach that I grew so frustrated with when my boys were little. If you’re ready to stop the cycle of recurrent illnesses or get on track to a healthier diet and lifestyle with your child and family, this book is for you!”
“I have known Dr. Kilbane for years. We both completed our integrative medical training with Andrew Weil, MD. On behalf of children, she has forged a new path in the field of integrative pediatric health. I have relied on her expertise and care for my own child, with outstanding results. There is usually not one ‘magic bullet’ to heal a child. That’s why Dr. Kilbane’s comprehensive program is so powerful. It offers the step-by-step approach she uses in her clinic. To have this information at your fingertips could be a game-changer for your child and family, if you’re willing to take the time and make some not always easy—but very doable—changes. I highly recommend this book, both personally and professionally, for all parents and pediatric healthcare practitioners seeking to understand how to stop the cycle of recurrent illnesses in children.”
“I’m so grateful for Dr. Kilbane and her work to restore the health of our children! I am one of the fortunate parents who has been able to have Dr. Kilbane as an advisor to support my son, and she offers one-of-a-kind solutions that really work! No more trying things that only waste your time and money, and leave your poor baby still sick. I am super excited that these same solutions are now available to parents all over the world. This book is practical, is research-based, and provides a clear strategy to resolve common childhood ailments and to help children thrive the way they are meant to. She has taken into account the physiology and biochemistry of a child’s system and, with her years of clinical experience, has created a new paradigm for children’s healthcare. This book can help you gain peace of mind about your child’s health and allow you to take a break from being Dr. Mom and spending many late nights on Dr. Google, so you can enjoy the precious time you have together.”
