Meet Dr. Rachel Ruiz, a board-certified general pediatrician who is currently completing her pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition fellowship at Stanford University. She is the mother to Sofia, who was her inspiration in writing this book. Outside of the office, she enjoys experimenting in the kitchen and using Sofia and her husband, Byron, as taste testers. She also enjoys traveling with her family, getting a good workout in when she can, and of course, eating!
