A Pediatrician’s Guide to Foundational Health, Family Wellness, and Preventing Chronic Disease Early
In this episode of Roots to Reason, host Michelle Hecker Davis sits down with Dr. Aileen Litwin, founder of Happy Healthy Pediatrics in Chattanooga. A triple board-certified pediatrician with a background in military medicine, Dr. Litwin is redefining pediatric care through a holistic, lifestyle-first approach.
Together, they explore how foundational habits—nutrition, sleep, stress management, movement, and relationships—shape not just children’s health, but entire family systems. Dr. Litwin shares how her unique model allows for deeper, more meaningful care, focusing on prevention, resilience, and long-term thriving rather than quick fixes.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that raising healthy kids starts with supporting healthy families—and that small, intentional changes can transform outcomes for generations.
