Nutrition & Gut Health for Children

Nutrition & Gut Health for Children

Dr Eileen Shi Las Vegas pediatrician

My approach to child nutrition & gut health:

Your baby/child’s gut health plays a large roll in her overall wellness. From the best nutrition tips to key supplements like probiotics and microbiome balancing that optimize gut health, at Little Roots Pediatrics we believe that food is medicine.

The best health outcomes are inseparable from good nutrition and gut health. At Little Roots, we believe in empowering families and our young patients with an understanding of their nutritional roadmap and how to reach their health goals. We acknowledge that by healing the gut through food and nutrition, we can lower your body’s inflammation which translates into reducing symptoms from many chronic conditions, from childhood asthma, allergies, dermatitis and behavioral concerns.

It is more than just what we eat, but how we support the gut environment to allow for optimal synthesis and absorption to lay the groundwork for lasting health.
