HEAL with Kelly Parenting at Your Child’s Pace with Integrative Pediatrician Dr. Joel "Gator" Warsh
In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I speak with Dr. Joel "Gator" Warsh, a Board-Certified Pediatrician specializing in parenting, wellness, and integrative medicine. Dr. Gator is well known in the online world due to his very popular Instagram account, where he provides weekly parenting advice amongst other great content.
Within the episode we discuss his newest book, Parenting at Your Child’s Pace: The Integrative Pediatrician’s Guide to the First Three Years. Dr. Gator explains the role of an Integrative Pediatrician, emphasizing the critical importance of combining holistic practices with traditional medicine. He also emphasizes the value of a balanced approach, utilizing the strengths of modern medicine while addressing its limitations, especially in managing chronic illnesses. Together we explore the critical role of making informed daily choices — ranging from the foods we eat to the products we bring into our homes — and how these lifestyle changes can have a profound impact on conditions such as autism. Dr. Gator offers insights into the careful and mindful use of antibiotics and other medications, advocating for their use only when necessary to minimize potential long-term effects.
This episode is a powerful call to action, encouraging a shift in healthcare toward greater emphasis on prevention and holistic care. It’s a reminder that taking control of our health — and that of our children — starts with informed decisions and a proactive approach. Tune in to discover practical steps you can take today to contribute to a healthier future for you and your family.
