Dr Nina’s Notes
Limiting Screen Time & Getting Back Outdoors (2/28/2019) - According to a recent study, most young children spend more than 3 hours a day using some sort of media. And 70% of adolescents spend at least 1 hour per day watching television. Countless research studies have shown that children’s brains are very sensitive to electronic use which makes it alarming that almost half of […]

Have a Nice Day (8/3/2016) - One day last week I was driving to work – it was a beautiful summer morning. The sky was clear and blue with that special kind of ‘summer in New England’ warmth.

One of the pediatricians was discussing how children are developing secondary sex characteristics much earlier than ever before. The other pediatrician said she thought it had to do with all the hormones in our food supply, especially the meat […]
A Moving Story (somewhat explicit) (4/20/2016) - Recently, at a Bat Mitzvah, I had a conversation with a lovely gastroenterologist.

There should be no reading material on the back of the toilet, no crossword puzzles or Sudoku, it is not the time to meditate or […]
