Honest Health with Jeffrey Burke S03 E33 - EllyPops

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2196114/fan_mail/new] How EllyPops Are Changing Pediatric Care! Organic Juices + Herbal Tea + Electrolytes = A better freezer pop for kids and families! EllyPop freezer pops are made with simple ingredients, thoughtfully chosen, and are a game-changer in terms of hydration and overall health! Host Jeffrey Burke interviews the founders and formulators of EllyPops Dr. Amanda Waters and Dr. Jackie Kirihara about their tasty, fun, and amazing product that offers a gentler, more natural hydration option – and they’re not just for kids!  EllyPop was inspired in 2017 by Dr. Amanda Watters, while working in pediatric primary care, where she saw a need for gentle, natural hydration options for kids. As a naturopathic doctor, she often suggested homemade herbal tea pops, but knew families needed something easier and ready-made. Working alongside fellow naturopathic doctors, Dr. Jackie Kirihara, that idea evolved into thoughtfully formulated freezer pops made with organic fruit juice, herbal tea, and essential electrolytes. In 2025, that vision became a reality with the launch of Wild Cherry and Sweet Peach EllyPop Freezer Pops! Dr. Amanda Watters is the Chief Executive Officer at EllyPop and first imagined creating natural electrolyte popsicles for kids when working in a pediatric primary care clinic during residency. She saw first hand how quickly children can get dehydrated, and how important it is for parents to have convenient, healthy options to offer their kiddos. In addition to wanting new options for hydration, she felt inspired to find creative and delicious new ways to enjoy herbal tea. For generations, grandmothers have been preaching the benefits of sipping a cup of ginger tea to calm an upset tummy, or some chamomile tea to wind down at night, and Dr. Amanda has shared many of these same recommendations with her patients over the years. Working in pediatrics however, she knows many children (and their adults!) who are reluctant to sit down with a hot cup of tea, but will enthusiastically enjoy a freezer pop with the same great botanical benefits.  Dr. Jackie Kirihara is the Chief Marketing Officer at EllyPop™. Her passion for inspiring families to think differently about their approach to children’s health started while working with Dr. Amanda Watters while attending her doctorate program. When Dr. Amanda came to her with the idea of a fun, healthy, and approachable hydrating herbal tea for families, Jackie was instantly drawn to the vision, and brought her entrepreneurial spark along for the ride. Building and nurturing a brand from the ground up through design, personality and sheer determination is a place where Jackie thrives. With the help of her designer husband and business-savvy Dad, she is well equipped to bring the EllyPop business dreams to reality.  Outside of her work at EllyPop, Jackie serves her community as a naturopathic doctor and midwife at an integrative functional medicine clinic in Portland, OR. She is the proud mom of two EllyPop-loving daughters. Dr. Jackie brings energy, heart, and authenticity to everything she does. After sitting with the idea for a few years, she shared the vision with her friend and colleague, Dr. Jackie, and together they committed to making this dream a reality... EllyPop was born!  Outside of her work at EllyPop she maintains a small clinical practice, and also teaches in the Pediatrics course at National University of Natural Medicine. Patient, parent, and provider education is one of her favorite parts of being a doctor, where she spends time ensuring that families continue to gain a greater understanding of how to make positive changes in their lives.  #Health #HealthTalk #HonestHealth #JeffreyBurke #DrJeffreyBurke #JonTheAnnouncer #HealthPodcast #Podcast #NaturalProducts #WholeFoodsMagazine #EllyPop
