61 | The Role of Parents in Healthy Kids with Dr. Joel Warsh

At least 35% of children are overweight or obese, the number has more than tripled since the 1970s. Autism prevalence has gone up 317% since 2000. At least 10% of kids in the US have been diagnosed with ADHD, and another 10% have anxiety. Rates of kids with life-threatening allergies, asthma and even childhood cancer are all rising. Health statistics for our kids aren’t moving in the right direction.  I’m guessing that no parent listening would want their kid to be a part of one of these statistics, but what are we doing to ensure that? Today, pediatrician Dr. Joel Warsh, known as Dr. Gator joins me on the show for a chat about what our role as parents is in the midst of these health challenges for our kids.  He’ll share tips for raising healthy kids, dietary recommendations and some encouragement for parents who might be feeling overwhelmed by all this!  Resources in the podcast: Dr. Warsh’s new book!  Parenting at Your Child’s Pace Dr. Gator's Supplement Store - Tiny Roots Apothecary  Download Dr. Gator's Vaccine Information and Simple shifts for a healthier family⁠ guide NOW for FREE.  Books about technology and social media: Teens Guide to Social Media, The Anxious Generation Stats on kids mental health Stats on kids with autism Connect with Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh: On Instagram Connect with the Daily Wellness Community  website: dailywellnesscommunity.com IG: @dailywellnesscommunity Facebook: Daily Wellness Community Leave a podcast review on Apple Podcasts Some products I mention may be affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission if you decide to make a purchase through one of my links.
