In this episode of the Next Level Healing Podcast, Dr. Tara Perry engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Joel ''Gator''Warsh, a board-certified pediatrician based in Los Angeles who specializes in integrative medicine and parenting wellness. The episode begins with a stark statistic highlighting the paradox of the U.S. healthcare system: despite spending more on health and healthcare than any other nation, the country experiences some of the lowest health outcomes. Dr. Warsh shares his insights on the alarming rise in chronic diseases among children, attributing it to factors such as increased screen time, decreased physical activity, and a diet dominated by ultra-processed foods.
The conversation delves into the impact of social media and screen time on children's mental health, with Dr. Warsh advocating for limits on technology use to foster better emotional well-being. He stresses the significance of sleep and the cumulative effects of daily health choices, urging parents to take an active role in their children's health by prioritizing whole foods and minimizing processed options.
