The Panel

Four speakers, each from a different corner of pediatric health.

  • Dr. Alina Olteanu — Integrative Pediatrician
  • Dr. Tori Hartline — Pediatric Chiropractor and owner of Sunlife Chiropractic
  • Erin Kerry — Integrative Health Coach
  • Dr. Sandy Gluckman — Parenting Specialist

What the Session Covered

Practical strategies for keeping a child steady through the return to school.

  • Routines that support both academic work and rest
  • Stress — how to help a child manage it and protect their mental well-being
  • Nutrition — what actually gets a child the fuel their body and brain need on a school morning
  • Supporting Mood with Food, Erin Kerry’s portion: the food-mood connection
  • Nutrients and neurotransmitters — the role nutrients play in forming dopamine and serotonin

Who Should Watch

The session was built for parents in the weeks around the start of a school year, not for clinicians.

  • Parents rebuilding a school-morning routine after a summer of late nights
  • Parents whose child struggles with stress or mental well-being at the start of term
  • Parents wondering what to actually put on a breakfast plate before school
  • Parents who want the reasoning behind the advice rather than a sales pitch
  • Anyone curious how a pediatrician, a chiropractor, a health coach and a parenting specialist answer the same question differently
  • No patient status required — the webinar was open to anyone
