About this episode
If you’ve noticed that kids today seem to be struggling with more allergies, hyperactivity, and chronic conditions than ever before, you’re not imagining things—and it’s not just "better diagnosing." Childhood obesity, ADHD, eczema, and autoimmune issues have surged, leaving parents confused and searching for answers. Why is this happening, and how can we take back control? In today's episode, we dive into the uncomfortable truth: our food, our environment, and even our daily routines are working against our kids’ health.But here’s the good news—it doesn’t take a full lifestyle overhaul to make meaningful changes. Dr. Joel Warsh, a leading integrative pediatrician, joins me and breaks it all down: the small shifts that can rebuild our children's resilience, from reading ingredient labels to prioritizing family time over screen time. If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by all the conflicting wellness advice out there, this conversation will give you a clear starting point. It’s not about perfection—it’s about creating a home environment that supports real health and connection. Tune in to learn how a few mindful changes can set your family up for long-term vitality and peace of mind.
