Hello, I’m Dr. Rebecca Winderman, MD

 

Double board certified Pediatric Gastroenterologist. I have a strong social media presence as a medical influencer across multiple social media platforms where I educate on various gut health topics.

I dedicate my time to providing educational content on gastrointestinal issues that can affect children, including food allergies/sensitivies, Eosinophilic Esophagitis, Irritbale Bowel Syndrome, Constipation, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Reflux, Abdominal Pain, and liver diseases.

I use an integrative holistic approach towards treating gut health issues. Our gut knows how to function, it just needs to be nourished and cared for optimal performance and health.

I have a private virtual consulting practice where I can delve deeply into your gut health concerns and get to the true cause of your gastrointestinal issues. I use a whole body, holistic, and integrative approach. Because throwing meds at your gut isn’t always the right thing to do.

Let Food Be Thy Medicine

Because throwing medications at our gut is not always the right thing to do

“As I see it, communication is crucial in building trust and a meaningful connection between a patient and their physician - even more so when it comes to pediatric medicine where there are essentially two patients - the child and the parent. And both have nuances in how their needs can and should be met. In my experience, I am best able to promote a trusting relationship when I err on the side of an overwhelming amount of over-communication. It’s true of every relationship we enter into in our lives, but even more so when it comes to entrusting a physician with our health.”
