THIS is how we make true medical care fit within the rhythm of your life 😊

It’s not another AI agent helping you triage your kids symptoms. It’s not another virtual care product. It’s not another doc in a box. It’s your pediatrician, there for you and your family-wherever that may be!

This is why we built adaptive primary care, and why we believe it’s the future of medicine.

If you want to learn more about our practice, schedule a free meet and greet to talk to Dr. Trey!

Like a ninja 🥷

One of the cool things about what we do is that kids don’t even feel like they’re in a checkup or a sick visit. That makes me pretty damn proud 😊

In home, school lobby, parking lots- wherever I’m needed!

Picky eater? Try one meal. No backup menu.

Sure- there are many reasons kids can be picky. If you’ve ruled other things and have squarely landed on it being behavioral- I’ve got your back!

Offer one meal. If they don’t eat it, you don’t become a short-order cook. Re-warm and re-serve later without pressure, bribes, or battles. Kids learn hunger is a teacher — and you stay consistent while they decide how much to eat. While it’s normal to worry about your kid’s weight, kids won’t starve themselves!

Save this for your next mealtime standoff. Which slide hit hardest?

Does my 3yo have ADHD? What is a “normal” level of hyperactivity or inattentiveness?

I get this question A LOT. 95% of the time about boys 😅 And I always love observing kids in their home to see what the parents are seeing. Most often the answer is a resounding no.

We’re spending more time inside; devices and TVs are more readily available, and activity in our school systems and preschools continues to decline. Kids need to move- and if they don’t, it can affect sleep which affects behavior in an infinite loop.

Sure, kids have ADHD. Yes, medication can be important (and sometimes really important in those more impulsive kids!) But we need to take into account that some kids (mostly boys), in general, bounce between activity to activity much more than girls (raising my hand here!) There isn’t always something wrong- just biology at play.

No matter if you have a boy or girl- get them moving. Get them outside. Watch their sugar intake. Avoid food dyes. Monitor screen time. Prioritize sleep. And talk to your pediatrician if you’re concerned.

Veggie powders aren’t the villain. But they’re also not the win. 🥦😅

Let’s be real, if that veggie-straw gets your toddler through snack time, no stress. There’s no real downside here. It’s just that “made with real vegetables” usually means a sprinkle of powder after processing strips away the fiber, the texture, the whole point.

Real fruits and veggies do things a powder can’t: they teach kids to chew, to taste, to actually LIKE food in its natural form. That’s the long game. 🙌

So what’s the one veggie your kid ACTUALLY eats without a battle? Drop it below, someone in this community needs the idea 👇

ADHD Part 1: is something wrong with my curious and energetic 5 year old boy?

For the vast majority, no!! What if they are just having trouble transitioning to kindergarten?! My son recently started kindergarten, so this topic hits home for me too. It can be difficult to know what’s “normal” or not, but that’s why I’m here to break it down for you with this new series (1/3).

Let’s be real- what has you worried there’s something more wrong than may meet the eye?

I puree zucchini into the mac and cheese. I grate carrots into the meatballs. Zero regrets! BUT hiding veggies is a helper and shouldn’t be the whole strategy. Here’s the thing: if we only ever sneak them, kids never learn to actually choose them. The real goal is repeated, no-pressure exposure. Put the carrot sticks on the plate. Offer the berries alongside the smoothie. Let them touch it, smell it, maybe take one tiny bite — or not. No bribes, no drama, no “just try it” lectures. It can take 10, 20, sometimes MORE exposures before a kid takes a new food. That’s normal. That’s development. That’s how it’s supposed to work. Do what feels right and sneak to get the nutrients in. But show the real thing too, over and over, and let their curiosity do the rest.

What’s your kid’s most-sneaked veggie? And their most-refused one 😂?

A pediatric exam can include a lot of important things, but it can also include laughing, joking around, and having a little fun!

This is a small glimpse into what our visits can look like behind the scenes. I may be checking vital signs and completing an exam, but I’m also working to make the experience feel less intimidating and a lot more comfortable whether it be in the office or at home.

Kids are not robots who simply sit still while we do a checklist. They’re people with big personalities, big feelings, and their own unique way of showing up 😅

Sometimes the best way to get through an exam is to meet them where they are—and join in on the fun!

PSA: Water activities can QUICKLY turn dangerous.

Mix in distraction, under-estimation of even inches of water depth, drinks, and heat can lead to disaster. Always have someone in charge of watching the kids, or hire a cheap private lifeguard. You can never be over-prepared around water!

Snackables part 3 😎 gagging vs choking?!

Starting foods can be anxiety inducing- I won’t lie. But gagging is quite normal and protective! Try to stay calm and pat their back so feeding doesn’t become scary for them.

Choking is the opposite- and knowing what to do is really important. Infant and child choking and CPR classes really don’t have a substitute- so be prepared ahead of time.

Dechoking devices- a good backup but can cause trauma to the airway.

How did you feel when you started feeding and your baby gagged?
