After nearly a decade of podcasting, the Doctor Mom Podcast is back with a bold new format built around what busy moms actually need: shorter, more practical, pediatric-focused episodes that fit into your real life. Dr. Elana and Steph Greunke walk you through everything changing this season and why. Solo episodes are now 10 to 20 minutes, the podcast is live on YouTube, and the content is going deeper on the pediatric topics you care most about. 

Dr. Elana previews her upcoming solo topics including immune support strategies, the cold wet sock method for fevers, Tylenol alternatives, and everything moms need to know about pinworms. Steph shares her lineup covering iron deficiency in kids, hydration and electrolytes, vitamin D supplementation, and summer nutrition for the whole family. They also preview upcoming interviews on holistic allergy solutions, vaccine advocacy after the new CDC schedule updates, fiber and kids gut health, and sports nutrition for young athletes. 

Beyond the podcast updates, they get honest about screen time boundaries that actually hold, navigating months of home disruption with a crawling baby in tow, and how Dr. Elana is approaching solid foods differently this time using a gut-healing GAPS-inspired method after a family history of eczema and food allergies. Pull up a chair, mama. This one is worth every minute.

Topics Covered In This Episode:

  • New pediatric podcast format and solo episodes
  • Screen time limits and boundaries for kids
  • GAPS approach to starting solids for babies
  • Iron deficiency and vitamin D in children
  • Vaccine advocacy and CDC schedule updates
