NBS #145: Your Child’s Behavior Could Be a Sign Something Else Is Wrong | Dr. Somer DelSignore
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with Dr. Somer DelSignore to discuss why she believes some chronically ill children are being missed by conventional approaches to pediatric care. Dr. DelSignore explains how her work evolved after encountering children with unusual combinations of behavioral changes, sleep problems, gut issues, neurological symptoms, chronic infections, and other concerns that weren’t improving with standard treatment. Instead of looking at each symptom in isolation, she developed the RESET framework, which considers inflammation, environmental toxins, gut health, infections, and overall health together. One of Dr. DelSignore’s biggest messages to parents: “Symptoms are not the problem. It’s the body communicating.” This conversation is about asking a different question. Instead of only asking how to suppress a symptom, what happens when we start investigating why it appeared in the first place? ️ Never Been Sicker is hosted by indoor air quality expert Michael Rubino. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro 00:21 Why chronically ill children may be getting missed 01:38 The patients who changed how Somer practiced medicine 03:53 The RESET framework 05:56 The biggest misconception about chronic childhood illness 07:08 Mold exposure in chronically ill children 08:40 Is mold underdiagnosed in pediatrics? 10:09 Why environmental exposure can be overlooked 11:53 Are we normalizing dysregulation in children? 13:02 The connection between mold and Lyme 14:52 The biggest mistakes families make with mold illness 17:25 Mold, toxins & autism 18:44 Biological factors behind developmental and behavioral issues 19:49 Why aren't we talking more about neuroinflammation? 21:52 What parents should do when their child's behavior suddenly changes 22:37 Sudden rage, OCD, anxiety & intrusive thoughts 24:26 What pediatric medicine gets wrong 26:03 How pediatric healthcare could change 26:45 What will medicine understand differently in 20 years? 28:56 What today's pediatricians may be missing 30:03 What worries Somer most about the next generation 32:24 What gives her hope 33:27 The remarkable recovery of a critically ill 12-year-old 38:22 Rapid-fire questions 40:50 What to tell a parent who knows something is wrong 41:41 Where to find Dr. Somer DelSignore 43:00 Closing Pasted text ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Somer DelSignore is a board-certified pediatric provider and an advocate for root-cause medicine.
