🥩🫘🥬These foods naturally provide nutrients involved in cellular energy production …including B vitamins and CoQ10.
•
•
🌈Think nutrient-dense, colorful, varied plates to nourish those tiny powerhouses.
And if you want to look deeper at metabolic pathways, an Organic Acids Test (OAT) can provide additional information about certain metabolites involved in energy metabolism and other biochemical pathways.

🧬Curious what your child’s results may show? An OAT may be a helpful piece of the bigger picture in an integrative approach.

THE TAKEAWAY ❤️
Your child’s body is doing incredible things every single day.
Growing.
Learning.
Moving.
Healing.
Developing.
And all of those things require energy.
Mitochondria help make that energy possible.
So when we talk about pediatric wellness, let’s not forget about the tiny powerhouses working inside every cell. 🧬⚡
Feed the body.
Support the cells.
Nourish the whole child.
✨ Did you know mitochondria were doing all of this?

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — We Remember. 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who showed incredible courage and selflessness.

May we teach our children the importance of kindness, compassion, courage, and looking out for one another. ❤️🤍💙

⁉️Sniffles starting? It may be time to reach for a little elderberry!
•
•
💜 Temple Remedies 💜 Elderberry syrup is a simple, nourishing addition to your family’s wellness routine. Elderberries contain naturally occurring antioxidants and have been traditionally used to support the immune system during cold and flu season.
•
•
✨ The goal? Get ahead of those sniffles!
Supporting the body early with nourishing foods, plenty of fluids, quality sleep, and immune-supportive herbs like elderberry can be a great part of a holistic wellness routine.
•
Because sometimes a little extra support is just what the body needs! 🫐💜

Feed the Good Bugs🦠
•
•
One simple way to support those “good bugs” is to feed them what they love! 💚
🥝 Fruits & veggies
🌾 Fiber-rich whole grains
🫘 Beans & legumes
🥣 Fermented foods like yogurt, kefir & sauerkraut
•
Think variety over perfection! The more diverse the foods on their plate, the more diverse the nutrients available to support a healthy gut microbiome.
✨ A happy gut starts with what we feed it!

Think: “Pair it, don’t just grab it!”

A simple snack upgrade can make a big difference in how kids feel, focus, and power through their day. 💛
Kids’ snacks don’t have to be complicated! Try pairing protein + healthy fat + fiber to help keep little bodies fueled and energy more steady throughout the day.
🍎 Apple + peanut/almond butter
🥒 Cucumbers + hummus
🧀 Cheese + fruit
🥚 Hard-boiled egg + berries
🥛 Greek yogurt + fruit + chia seeds
🧩Vibration Plate
Before a BIG focus task, homework, studying, or when your little one seems to have a LOT of energy, try giving the nervous system some movement first.
👏🏼One activity I love to explore is:
〰️ Gentle rhythmic movement + reaching across the midline
If using a vibration plate that has been approved for your child, you can pair gentle movement with reaching from one side of the body to the other. Crossing the midline asks the two sides of the body to work together and supports bilateral coordination, motor planning, eye-hand coordination, and body organization.
✨Then make it purposeful! ✨
Instead of simply moving, give the brain a job:
-Throw a ball at a target
- Toss bean bags
- Reach for and place objects
- Move toys from one side to the other
⁉️Why? Because meaningful, goal-directed movement adds a cognitive component. The child isn’t just moving their body—they’re looking, planning, reaching, coordinating, and completing a task. Occupational therapists often use purposeful activities to connect motor skills with participation and functional goals.
🧠 Think of it as giving the brain a little “organization warm-up” before asking it to sit and focus.
⏱️ Keep individual activities SHORT—about 2 minutes at a time, with a total of no more than about 10 minutes.
And please remember: this is not a magic fix for ADHD, fatigue, or regulation. Every child is different, and sensory/movement strategies should be individualized.
⚠️ Always talk with your child’s pediatrician/PCP and, when appropriate, OT before introducing a vibration plate or other sensory equipment. Children should be appropriately supervised around exercise equipment.
Sometimes the goal isn’t “make them sit still.”
It’s help their body feel organized enough to participate. 💛
