The Children & Teenager Health Crisis: Is Your Child 1 of the 50% with a Chronic Disease? Integrative Pediatrician Dr Gator unpacks WHAT YOU can DO!


Listen Later

This one is about the kids, and it’s sad to say - the kid’s are not alright. Just 50 years ago, chronic disease in children and teens was a rarity. Now it’s the norm. I know things are bad, I talk about it and see it everyday, but when my guest today told me between 40% and 60% of American kids and teens have at least one chronic disease I was stopped in my tracks. We need to do something now to stop this unfolding catastrophe, and that is exactly what integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh is doing.

Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh is a respected integrative pediatrician known for his holistic approach to children’s health, combining conventional medicine with natural therapies. He advocates for preventative care, focusing on nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental factors to support overall wellness in his young patients. Dr. Warsh is also a prominent speaker and educator, dedicated to empowering parents with evidence-based tools for raising healthy children.

Check out his new book - Parenting at Your Child’s Pace - available for preorder now:

Join us as we explore: Why when you “step outside” you can’t go back aka when the woo-woo shows itself to actually be win-win. Exploring the staggering statistic that 50% of American children have a chronic disease, from autism to diabetes and depression and sadly more! How parenting forms the foundation of children’s healthy and why Dr Gator believes eating healthier as a family is not the monumental task it’s often made to seem. The soup study and why it matters. The massive impact of environmental toxicity and chronic disease, and the top toxins your family are exposed to everyday.
SEEDS, allergies, gut health, screens, stress exercise, detox - kid’s version.
