The Diet Mistake Almost Everyone Makes With Kids
from Demystifying PANS/PANDAS Podcast · host Nancy O'Hara MD
What if the fastest way to change a child’s diet is to stop trying to take foods away? In this episode of Demystifying PANS/PANDAS, I talk to Dr. Joshua Green on integrative care for complex illness, how he helps kids with restrictive eating by focusing on 'adding' first, and why a membership-based practice can restore time, trust, and better outcomes.What if families aren’t failing treatment, but medicine is failing to meet them where they are? In this episode of Demystifying PANS/PANDAS, I sit down with naturopathic physician Dr. Joshua Green to explore why integrative, individualized care is often essential for complex chronic illness.He shares how his personal experiences shaped his approach to medicine, why lifestyle and nutrition changes must be realistic to work, and how he helps children with restrictive eating by focusing on small, achievable additions rather than rigid rules. He also explains why he transitioned to a membership-based practice, allowing more time, deeper listening, and coordinated care, and why he believes this model could help restore both patient trust and physician fulfillment.Dr. Joshua Green is a naturopathic physician providing integrative primary and specialty care for patients with chronic complex illness, including tick-borne disease and mold-related conditions. He completed his undergraduate training at Bastyr University with a focus on whole foods nutrition and has a naturopathic medical degree. He is a member of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS), the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), and is ILADEF-trained, and is passionate about accessible care, operating a membership-based practice designed to give patients more time, coordination, and individualized attention.Dr. Joshua GreenWebsite: https://vermontnaturalfamilymedicine.com/MAPS: https://www.medmaps.org/clinician-directory/vt/burlington/joshua-green/Nancy O’Hara, MD, MPH, FAAP, FMAPSWebsite: https://www.drohara.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drnancyohara/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nhoharamd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-o-hara-md-mph-faap-390781258/PODCASTThank you for listening.Please subscribe and share.This podcast is produced by DrTalks.comhttps://drtalks.com/podcast-service/
