Episode 85 of The Health Exchange Podcast explores the challenges of keeping kids healthy as they head back to school with guest Dr. Dylan Ochal, a pediatrician who discusses everything from frequent childhood illnesses and developing immune systems to the importance of wellness visits and preventive care. Dr. Rutland speaks with her about knowing when a child’s symptoms are normal versus when they may signal something more serious, while also covering vaccines, sleep, screen time, nutrition, mental health, and the many ways school can impact a child’s overall well-being. The conversation also highlights the importance of parent education, setting healthy boundaries, building trust with your pediatrician, and creating an environment where children can thrive both physically and emotionally.
