Find out WHAT'S EATING YOUR CHILD, with author Kelly Dorfman!

Four-year-old Tom had already seen a neurologist, physical therapist, developmental pediatrician, speech therapist, and an orthopedist before his pediatrician sent him to leading nutritionist Kelly Dorfman. None of these medical professionals could find a reason for Tom’s insomnia, lack of appetite, extreme mood swings, and propensity to catch every cold and cough going around. Spotting the signs of dairy intolerance, Dorfman asked Tom’s mother to try removing milk products from his diet for six weeks. In less than a week, Tom regained his appetite, slept better, and was a lot calmer. After six weeks, he was cured. Had Tom’s parents known that such a fast and effective solution to his problems existed, they could have spent their time and money on a family vacation instead of on doctor’s appointments.

Backed by cutting-edge science and the know-how gained from a 29-year career in clinical nutrition, WHAT’S EATING YOUR CHILD? (Workman Publishing; June 6, 2011; $13.95; Paperback Original) by Kelly Dorfman, MS, LND, reveals the surprising role nutrition plays in healing children’s ailments. Today’s generation of children has the highest rate of food allergies, obesity, behavioral and emotional disorders, autoimmune disease, and learning issues ever recorded. Dorfman believes this is often related to their diet, making it crucial for parents to learn more in order to help medical professionals help them. WHAT’S EATING YOUR CHILD? is a must-read for parents, doctors, teachers, and anyone interested in the relationship between nutrition, health, and wellbeing.
