Why are children today experiencing more anxiety, depression, and ADHD than ever before? What role does our environment play in shaping kids’ wellbeing - and how can we help them thrive?

In the latest episode of HCA Talks Health, we sit down with Dan Newman, founder and CEO of Lifestyle First, who is on a mission to make health a priority in schools. Dan shares what inspired his passion for integrating Lifestyle Medicine and health coaching into education and how his team is making a real impact on school communities.

As a former PE teacher, Dan noticed a troubling shift - kids were less coordinated, fitness levels were declining, and both students and staff felt overwhelmed. He believes these changes aren’t just random; they’re the result of modern environmental factors affecting metabolic health, chronic stress, and parent-child attachment.

Tune in to explore how a holistic approach to children’s health can set them up for lifelong wellbeing and success in school.
