Mighty Kids Can Offers training and workshops for all ages, with a special emphasis on pediatrics and parents. We can create webinars as well as in person or video trainings for medical professionals, hospitals, patients and pediatric practices.
On a limited basis we coach one-on-one: parents, grown ups, and teens with a focus on better needle pokes and holistic thyroid education and advocacy. Let me support you on your journey toward healing yourself or your child.
These recommendations are based on interviews with Dr. Julia Getzelman, a functional medicine pediatrician who combines the best of Western Medicine with immune boosting practices from “Integrative" practices, which focus on healing the body from the inside out, through supplements, diet and holistic approaches. To learn more or book a call with her go to Getzwell.com I believe she is one of the smartest doctors I’ve had the gift of knowing! She is a doctor who digs deeper, stays on top of the research, and gets to the bottom of things.
If you’re wondering WHY you haven’t heard about the use of any of these tools, that’s a good question. I believe it’s because of the silly divide between Western Medicine and Naturopathic medicine, and the way med students are taught. It has to do with insurance, history and sometimes what the newspapers choose to print.
Any medical advice or recommendations you take from this page are not medical advice. I have personally found these tools incredibly helpful and I hope they help you too! But please do check with your own medical team before trying anything new and/or book an appointment with Dr. Getzelman or your local functional medicine doctor to learn more. Do your research. Ask questions. Get the answers you need. Try to maintain a balance between your physical and mental health and above all remember you are MIGHTY!

My Original Favorite Dr Recc Covid Mask!
My new favorite mask is the ENRO mask. Why?
1. It’s been tested to be clinically comparable to an N95. Check out the data here
2. It’s machine or hand washable up to 100 times!
3. It’s better for the planet than throwing away countless single use masks
4. It does not off-gas toxic chemicals into your nose/body when you breathe
5. It’s more comfortable and cute!
I have recently flown multiple times and I do what my doctor suggests—which is that I wear an ENRO or (LivingGuard Mask) under a Kn95 or an N95. I prefer having the cloth mask on my face and the KN95 or the N95 on the exterior. This provides double protection during high risk situations like Flying or big indoor events where there is still a lot of possible virus present.
I have (so far!) managed to go to the Chiropractor (high traffic) or get a massage (high traffic area with lots of unmasked people) and have found that my Enro or Livingguard mask has been able to keep me safe and Covid Free in some pretty high risk settings.
Sadly Livingguard went out of business, so now I’ve switched to Enro.
Enro offers a patented technology which they state is comparable to N95s. That’s pretty cool! Help the planet! Help your own loved ones stay safe! Mask indoors as much as possible even if no one has symptoms remember you can still catch it even if you are boosted and vaxxed.
Note: If you have a rare disease or are high risk, you may want to be sure to still wear an N95 in high risk settings. The tightness of the seal is very important and can make the biggest difference in your ability to be protected—so make sure it fits well & is sealed all around your face or your child’s face
Did you know that because our soil is so depleted by global warming and the farming practices we have been engaging in that the carrot you eat now has many few nutrients than the carrot your ancestors ate?
All of that to say that many integrative medicine doctors have begun to look at how many of us and our children are depleted in essential minerals and nutrients that our bodies and brains need to stay healthy and fight disease.
Dr. Julia Getzelman has compiled a list of supplements she recommends to boost your immunity during the pandemic. She recommends using higher or lower doses depending on your own history, if you were exposed, if there is a high viral load. Book an appointment with her to learn what is right for your child or yourself. If you want to see the key Covid fighting strategies she recommends read on
