Children who have anxiety at a young age should get help early with Stefanie Weiss

Stefanie Weiss a Mental Health Consultant specializing in OCD, Anxiety, ADHD, PANDAS, and other related mental health disorders joins eHealth Radio and the Mental Health Channel. She says that children who have anxiety at a young age should get help early.
Listen to interview [audio player below] with host Eric Michaels & guest Stefanie Weiss discuss the following:
Explain to our listeners what you do for families as a  Mental Health Consultant?
How do families benefit by coming to you before searching and finding a psychologist/psychiatrist on their own?
What are your areas of expertise?
You are located in NYC, are you able to work with families out of the New York area?
Do you feel there is still a social stigma surrounding mental health today?
How much do you believe parents should be involved in the process of therapy when it comes to a child?
One of the disorders you see is very controversial and getting more press lately, PANDAS- What is it and can you tell us more about it?
Do you believe that children who have anxiety at a young age should get help early on or should parents take a more "wait and see" approach?
Why do you think more and more children are being diagnosed with ADHD today?
Where do you hope the future of mental health is in the next 10-15 years ?


Stefanie Weiss is a Mental Health Consultant specializing in OCD, Anxiety, ADHD, PANDAS, and other related mental health disorders. She meets with the parents of children who have these disorders so that they can speak openly  and honestly about their child. Based on an in- depth consultation and intake process, they collaborate on selecting a team of doctors that will be most appropriate for the child.
Stefanie gives families information on their child’s disorder and coaches parents on how to deal with their schools, teachers, friends,and doctor appointments. She is a true “hand-holder” guiding parents who feel anxious and overwhelmed, and need that extra time and support while dealing with their child’s disorder.  As a mother of three children, she is extremely sensitive to what parents require emotionally.  Working with Stefanie is a boutique experience. Stefanie only refers to a select group of doctors that are the very best in their field. She has thoroughly interviewed every doctor that she refers to.  This process is vital to her. It helps her observe the doctor’s bedside manner, personality, office staff, and experience with specific disorders.
Stefanie believes that parents have a hard time gaining the courage to take the initial step of seeking professional help for their children. Going to the “right doctor” the first time puts families on the right track immediately, instead of going through a daunting process of 3 or 4 doctors until they finally find the one that they connect with and believe in. She helps make that process easier by getting parents in the right hands immediately. This saves them time, money, and energy. Exposing yourself and your child emotionally is a difficult step. Stefanie makes sure families are comfortable and confident with whom they select.

Beyond her private practice, Stella is regularly called on as a media resource; featured as a diet and nutrition expert in People, Glamour, Shape, Redbook, New York Times, Wall Street Journal…and many others.
Listen to interview [audio player below] with host Eric Michaels & guest Stella Metsovas discuss the following:
Your background is so fascinating—tell us about it.
So what you’re telling us, is that without a healthy digestive tract, you can never truly be the picture of health?
Tell us about your projects—they all seem to align with digestive health. Do you feel there might be too many eggs in one basket?
You mentioned in your book that one major connection all your clients shared was some form of dysfunction in their digestion tract. Should I or the listener be worried?
Now I know you’re a gut health guru! Please tell us what top foods you recommend for digestive health.


Stella Metsovas is a globally recognized clinical nutritionist and media health expert based in California. Stella is a specialist in Food Science and Human Nutrition, with over 15 years of experience in the health and fitness industries, and 8 years in private practice.
Beyond her private practice, Stella is regularly called on as a media resource; featured as a diet and nutrition expert in People, Glamour, Shape, Redbook, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, AOL, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Fox News, CNN, Good Morning America, Comcast Group, Demand Media, eHow, and many others. Woman’s Day named Stella one of “America’s Ultimate Experts,” and her blog was recognized as “One of the Top 50 Blogs Every Dietitian Should Read.”
In addition, Stella consults with her global partners as a brand and product expert, as well as coordinating health programs for her corporate clientele. Stella also serves as Chairman and spokesperson to the World Food Program Committee of Los Angeles, a charitable organization that raises support in America for the United Nations World Food Program.
A former National USA Swimmer, Stella really began her career at age 13. Training under the top Olympic coaches and swimmers of the U.S. swim team, she competed at the Junior Olympic and National levels. However, after being diagnosed as severely anemic, her performance level quickly declined.
Despite seeking medical attention, Stella’s anemia only continued to worsen – affecting her physiologically and psychologically. After a year of prescriptions for artificial hormones and numerous doctors’ evaluations, Stella’s mother sought other options. She was referred to a naturopathic physician who diagnosed Stella by evaluating specific markers in stool, blood and urine testing. Within one month treatment with natural modalities, Stella felt remarkably better. Consequently, the decision to pursue a career in the biological sciences was inevitable.
During her first year at Chapman University, Stella took courses in Physiology, Anatomy, Chemistry, Food Science, and Nutrition. Stella realized that her true passion resided in the Nutritional Sciences. Stella expects her brand to be the go-to for gut health and the Paleo-Mediterranean Diet, known as “The Diet for a Lifetime” that combines evolutionary biology, nutrigenomics and ingredients found throughout the Mediterranean region. In addition, Stella’s 21-Day Digestive Health Detox is now in the marketplace.
