Ep 15: Holistic Approaches to Raising Healthy Kids with integrative pediatrician, Dr. Joel Warsh


Listen Later

Heather Boyd interviews integrative pediatrician, Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh about what it takes to raise healthy children.  Dr. Warsh, M.D., has a Master’s degree in epidemiology, and founded his private pediatric clinic in California in 2018.  He is a speaker, published researcher, dad, and author (his book, Parenting At Your Child’s Pace: The integrative pediatrician’s guide to the first three years comes out August 6th).

In this episode we cover:


  • Integrative medicine: what is it?
  • His recipe for a healthy childhood "smoothie"
  • Sleep as one of the foundations of childhood health in his SEEDS of Well-Being approach: Stress, Environment, Exercise, Diet, and Sleep
  • The rise in chronic illness and mental health challenges  in childhood 
  • Managing the comparison and “perfect parenting” trap in the age of social media
  • How to use information wisely to focus on what works well for your child and family
  • Dr. Warsh’s take on developmental milestones (how to use them without undue anxiety about “being behind”)
  • Taking the fight out of a “this versus that” mentality: baby-led weaning versus purees, breastfeeding versus formula 
  • How to be flexible with your parenting expectations
  • You can pre-order Dr. Warsh’s new book (out August 6th) at www.parentingatyourchildspace.com.  Contact Dr. Warsh at [email protected] with your receipt for an advanced peak at one chapter and 1 month free in his online VIP parenting community, Natural Parenting.  Dr. Warsh also runs a speaker series masterclass, RaisingAmazingPlus.com
