Parents today are bombarded with advice from every angle- social media, friends, family, and news sources. It can be nearly impossible to know who to trust and what advice to follow… And furthermore how to discuss it with your pediatrician. In this episode, we discuss how to sift through the endless parenting information, as well as how to build a strong relationship with your pediatrician.

Joining me today on Yoga| Birth| Babies, I have Dr. Wendy Hunter. Wendy Hunter, MD is a pediatrician in San Diego, CA. She rounds on newborns at Scripps Hospital. Her podcast “The Pediatrician Next Door” mixes the science of medicine with the realities of parenting. We hope you enjoy this conversation!

  • About Dr. Wendy and what led her to becoming a pediatrician
  • What makes for a strong, supportive pediatrician-parent relationship
  • How the pediatrician-parent relationship has changed as people primarily head to Google for their answers to medical questions 
  • What the risks are when parents rely too heavily on online information versus professional guidance
  • How Dr. Wendy approaches conversations when a parent brings in conflicting advice they’ve found online

    Hello,

    Building a Private Blog Network the right way is already hard enough without the restoration piece slowing everything down. You find the domains, you vet the backlinks, you win the auction, and then you are stuck manually stitching together a site that looks like it belongs on that domain. Many network builders default to generic WordPress installs and filler articles, leaving the domain with little historical continuity. The networks that stick around are the ones where every domain looks like a real site with real history and continuity.

    That is where Restorix changes the game entirely. It downloads the full archived content of any domain and restores it properly, so each site in your network carries authentic historical signals instead of a thin WordPress template with five articles. That can make the restored property look dramatically different from a bare template. Your network stays indexed longer, passes more link equity, and flies under the radar the way it should.

    * See the restoration process https://restorixapp.com

    Restore your websites now.
