About

Dr. Whitney Casares is a board-certified pediatrician, author, and the founder of Modern Mommy Doc and Raising Body Confident Kids.

She's on a mission to help families raise emotionally and physically healthy kids — without the perfectionism, pressure, or shame that so often gets in the way. As a pediatrician and a mom, she gets it from both sides.

Her latest children's book, My One-of-a-Kind Body, gives kids a science-backed, empowering look at how their bodies work — and why every body deserves care and respect. Her upcoming book, Raising Body-Confident Kids, continues that mission with a practical guide for parents who want to raise kids that feel at home in themselves. She's also the author of Doing It All and The Working Mom Blueprint.

A nationally recognized voice on pediatric health, maternal well-being, and real-world parenting, her work has been featured in The New York Times, on NPR, and in Time Magazine.
