In 2022, I set out with a mission to raise the healthiest generation.

As with most parents, I spend a lot of time thinking about my kids' health. The little things, like a fever in the middle of the night or a cough that won't quite go away. And the bigger questions too. Are they developing normally? Are they getting the right nutrients? Is there anything I should be catching earlier?

The more I looked into it, the more I realized something troubling. Children today are facing a very different health landscape than previous generations. Over the past two decades, rates of chronic conditions in childhood, including asthma, obesity, developmental disorders, and autoimmune disease, have skyrocketed. At the same time, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation among adolescents are climbing. Our children's health is moving in the wrong direction, and we cannot afford to ignore it.

As a mom of three, I think about this all the time. I want to understand the health of my own children as deeply as possible. I want to know their biomarkers. I want to intervene early when something does not seem right. But this level of insight should not be reserved for a small group of families. And yet much of pediatric care today is built around brief visits and reactive treatment rather than early detection and prevention.

Over the years, I have heard from countless parents who felt that something about their child was not quite right, only to be told that it was normal. They go home still worried. They watch their child a little more closely. They Google late at night. They keep pushing until they get answers, and too often the process takes months or even years.

That is what led me to start Summer Health. Our goal is simple: every family should have access to the information and clinical guidance they need to truly understand their child's health. That means asking better questions, looking deeper when something does not add up, and building a high-integrity clinical environment where children receive thoughtful, evidence-based care.

That is how we begin to raise the healthiest generation. I am so glad you are here.
