Episode 119: Building a Healthy Child with Dr. Melina Roberts

If you have kids, you probably know just how hard it is to keep them and their surroundings clean. Attempts to completely sterilize our outer environment is an inherently futile goal; microbes and pathogens have always been present and will always be present. As parents we worry about kids catching viruses or other pathogens, and in COVID times, this worry has ramped up cleaning efforts to a critical level. We’ve seen that even with our best efforts and precautions, we can’t completely avoid pathogens or viruses. So, what do we do?

In this episode I chat with Naturopath Dr. Melina Roberts about what it takes to build a robust immune system for our kids. It’s an important and relevant conversation that can also be applied to humans of all ages. We discuss how efforts in our outer environment can benefit (or hinder) us, and how getting to the root of robust health actually requires focus on our inner environment.
