Dr. Michelle Perro is author of the new book: Making Our Children Well. Drawing on more than four decades of clinical experience—including years as an emergency room director and attending physician—Dr. Perro left conventional pediatrics after witnessing the system’s limitations in addressing the epidemic of gut dysfunction, neurodevelopmental challenges, immune issues, and other chronic conditions in children.
