1269. How to Support Your Child’s Health in Today’s World w/ Dr. Joel Gator

from Heal Squad x Maria Menounos · host Heal Squad

Hey Heal Squad! It’s Throwback Thursday and Kev is back hosting this one, and honestly, this conversation feels more important than ever. In his conversation with Dr. Joel Gator, they get into what’s really going on with our kids right now, from rising chronic illness and mental health struggles to what we can actually do to start shifting things in a better direction. They talk about how health isn’t just about one thing (not just food, not just exercise), but the full picture… stress, environment, toxins, sleep, family time, and the pace of life we’re all trying to keep up with. Kev and Dr. Gator also get real about how modern parenting, packed schedules, processed foods, and screen time are all adding up… and why slowing down might actually be one of the most powerful things we can do. There’s also a really important conversation around trusting your instincts as a parent, finding balance (instead of extremes), and focusing on what you can control, without feeling overwhelmed. Such a good reminder that the basics really do matter!
