Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck
Hello, I'm Dr. Heather Heck and I'm a little unique in that I hold credentials in both eastern and western medicine. I actually just closed my physical practice and now I want to share all of my knowledge and real-life experiences with you.
Not only that, but I'm also a mother and I have had so many mom-patients who just want to know how to best create a healthy environment for their kids. I plan to share all the ways I try and do this in my own home. My goal is to help YOU find the good, better, and best options in your whole body health through education and making sure you're aware of all of the holistic options you have. I am hoping this podcast is the start of many conversations and that I can positively impact your life, even if just by listening! Follow-me: https://linktr.ee/doctorheck

Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck: Bobbi + Baby's Only
Do you have health + wellness questions? Don't worry; I've got you! Text me.
This was such a fun opportunity to get to interview Shira Page, RN, NP, CLC who’s the medical team lead for Bobbi + Baby’s Only formula. Her own feeding journey as well as her work as a nurse practitioner and certified lactation consultant has completely reshaped the way she sees healthy feeding. “5 years ago if you would have told me I’d be working at an infant formula company, I wouldn’t have believed you!”
The experience of motherhood is so humbling … even those of us who work in a clinical setting and who feel we have a good grasp on things find various aspects of motherhood to be a curve ball. Shira and I openly share how much we’ve learned by being moms. Unfortunately, we don’t all have that inherent community through holistic, natural interventions… When you look at the research on breast feeding, we still don’t truly understand milk production or how the thyroid and endocrine system impacts our ability to maintain milk supply. We hope for a world that continues to study this and, in the mean, time provides a safe, acceptable way to care for our babies that includes a happy feeding journey.
Bobbi is a European-style formula meaning its iron and DHA levels meet both the EU and FDA requirements; Baby’s Only meets FDA requirements and iron levels for the EU. Both brands are organic, palm oil and maltodextrin free, and 100% lactose based. As we know, palm oil leaches calcium from our bones, so this fact is definitely important to me and my moms. Shira mentions all of the ‘love letters’ Bobbi has received when it comes to relieving babies (and mommas) of reflux or colic gone as they can finally metabolize well and maintain a balanced weight. I have sampled their products and now use them for my own baby girl and would love to help you connect with this brand!
