Dr. Natasha Beck is a parenting expert and the founder of Dr. Organic Mommy, an online resource focused on pregnancy, parenting, nutrition and non-toxic living.

She holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, specializing in pediatric neuropsychology from Pepperdine and has a Master’s in Public Health, specializing in child and family health from USC’s Keck School of Medicine.

But above all she is the mom of 3 (ages 3, 5 and 7) with a 4th little one on the way (due Feb 2022) and is married to her high school sweetheart.

While the conversation was going to be all about environmental toxins and children’s diets, we digressed and spent a lot of time talking about how she maintains a thriving relationship with her husband (hint: the secret is in her day dates) and all about boundaries and how she teaches her kids about them.

In this episode, Natasha and I talk about…

  • Her childhood diagnosis of ADHD and dyslexia which started her passion for working with children to find ways to help them with disorders - so she majored in psychology and neuroscience

  • Her experience researching the impact of diet on children’s behavior and how when she changed her own diet and it started to help her ADHD symptoms

  • How she communicates with her own children about making healthy eating choices

  • Sugar consumption in kids and how to find better alternatives

  • What started her deep dive into environmental toxins began when her son was hospitalized at 7 weeks for 29 days

  • 3 helpful tips and easy resources for parents who want to start looking at eliminating everyday environmental toxins

  • Her morning routine (she’s a morning person) in which she incorporates many things to help set her mindset for the day and the importance of setting her circadian rhythm

  • Her secrets to maintaining a healthy relationship - especially being married to her high school sweetheart

  • The rules of her day dates and how to make them successful

  • Teaching kids boundaries and how to communicate them

  • What to do when you lose your temper at your kids
