About Your Host, Dr. Elisa Song, MD

Dr. Elisa Song

Hi there! I’m holistic mama doc, Elisa Song, MD

I’m a holistic pediatrician, but I’m SO much more than that!
I’m “mama” to beautiful, spunky Kenzi and sweet, goofy Bodi. I’m wife to dedicated, loving, supportive Peter. I’m a daughter, twin, and big sister. I’m a Jersey girl at heart, Northern Californian in spirit. I’m a wine and food lover – pretty much all of it, especially bacon. And I’m a wannabe home chef and amateur photographer.
I’m a board-certified, Stanford-, NYU-, UCSF-trained holistic pediatrician. In my holistic pediatric practice, Whole Family Wellness, I have helped 1000s of kids get to the root causes of their health concerns and helped their parents understand how to heal their children from the inside out using an integrative pediatric approach. Additionally, I have an online blog, Healthy Kids Happy Kids, dedicated to sharing my decades of knowledge as a holistic pediatrician and mama WITH YOU, in a super fun, yet practical and informative way.
