Welcome to the Peds and Pop Podcast, featuring Board Certified pediatricians, Dr. Mike and Dr. Cary from East Lake Pediatrics.  We hope that you will enjoy listening to Dr. Mike and Dr. Cary as they attempt to have some fun discussing pediatric health topics intermixed with pop culture.  On today's episode we are lucky to have Jen Leal sitting in for Dr. Cary and we discuss what it is like getting our kids ready to go to college, what Dr. Mike did on his vacation, as well as Mike Tyson's recent encounter with a fan and how to talk to your kids about social media. We will also touch on what we’ve been seeing in the office lately, what Jen and her husband find as binge-worthy tv, along with some medical myths about gray hair and base tanning.

Below are some informative links on social media from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
