About the Episode:
Naturopathic doctors tend to not rush to alleviate symptoms of illness, since they see them as important messages from the body. In this episode, Leslie talks with Dr. Erika Krumbeck, naturopathic doctor and founder of the website Naturopathic Pediatrics. They navigate when to worry, why to leave fevers alone, and strategies to alleviate suffering without interfering in a helpful process.

She is also the proud founder and editor of www.naturopathicpediatrics.com, the leading internet source for trustworthy naturopathic pediatric education for naturopathic doctors and health-minded parents. Dr. Krumbeck is the author of multiple e-books and the popular web course “Vaccines Demystified”, which parents can find on www.naturopathicpediatrics.com. She is passionate about sharing guilt-free, unbiased natural health information, especially vaccine information, because she knows first-hand how difficult it can be to make decisions about your child’s health. In her pediatric practice she believes strongly that we need to address the underlying cause of illness rather than suppressing symptoms. She is thrilled to see naturopathic medicine work wonders for children every single day.
