In this deeply personal and inspiring episode of Nourished, Dr. Anikó shares the unconventional path that led her from childhood stomach pain to becoming a double board-certified Integrative Pediatrician and Postpartum Specialist. Her story isn’t just about medicine, it’s about healing, identity, and rediscovering the body’s innate wisdom.

Through raw reflections, Dr. Anikó walks us through the lived experiences that Western medicine alone couldn’t explain, the life-changing power of yoga, nature, nutrition, and how integrative medicine became her calling.

You’ll hear how her own struggles with digestive issues, anxiety, postpartum depression and burnout shaped the way she practices medicine today; with curiosity, compassion, and a toolkit that goes far beyond prescriptions.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed by traditional healthcare, curious about a more holistic path or wondered how to integrate both Western and non-Western practices into your family’s wellness, this episode will nourish your spirit and empower your next steps.
