"As a mom, pediatrician, and registered dietitian, my job and passion is to help kids and families thrive. I do this as a pediatrician in Carlsbad, CA, where I am also director and founder of the WELL healthy living clinic.

​

I also do this nationally as a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics, through media, and as an award-winning author of several books, many articles, and this online community where I share resources and tips on raising healthy, active families. I also teach college students about nutrition as an adjunct assistant professor at UCLA."
