2x15 - Taboo Topics around Kids’ Health with Dr. Joel ‘Gator’ Warsh

This week on Oldish, we tackle topics that are often considered taboo in the medical field. In this eye-opening conversation our guest generously shares his insights on making tough decisions regarding our children’s health, the societal pressures surrounding what to give—or not give—our kids and the realities of screen time in today’s world.
We’re thrilled to welcome a truly unique guest: Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh to Oldish.

Dr. Warsh is a board-certified pediatrician based in Los Angeles and is passionate about children’s health.

While he praises the benefits of conventional medicine, Dr. Warsh also highlights its limitations and potential pitfalls. Specializing in parenting, wellness and integrative medicine, he reveals startling statistics about autism, depression and anxiety in children and teens. Dr. Joel discusses the underlying reasons for these rising concerns and offers practical advice on how we, as parents, can support our kids and help prevent these life-altering conditions.

Dr. Warsh may be best known for his popular Instagram @DrJoelGator, where he offers weekly parenting and integrative pediatric support, and is the author of the highly anticipated Parenting at Your Child’s Pace: The Integrative Pediatrician’s Guide to the First Three Years (Union Square Publishing, August 6, 2024).
