What if the secret to raising healthy, happy kids isn't perfection but embracing the beautiful mess of real parenting?

In this raw and honest episode, we sit down with Cat and Nat, the viral duo behind "Cat and Nat Unfiltered" and bestselling authors who've built a massive community by dismantling the myth of the perfect mom.

As mothers of seven kids between them, they share the unfiltered truth about parenting struggles, from breastfeeding challenges to managing screen time, and why your kids don't actually want you to be perfect.

Cat opens up about lying to her doctor about breastfeeding, the pressure of "mother's intuition," and how they learned that experience not instinct is what really guides good parenting.

We dive deep into the science of child development with insights on sleep training, nutrition myths, picky eating, and why vitamin C and omega-3s are game-changers for kids' health. Plus, they reveal their comprehensive screen time guide and why messy, authentic parenting is actually what children need most.

The conversation gets real about managing health challenges, from myositis to mast cell activation syndrome, and how trusting your gut as a parent sometimes means going against conventional medical advice. Most importantly, they remind us that your kids would choose you over and over again exactly as you are.

What if everything you thought you knew about autism rates was wrong?

In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Dr. Joel Gator Warsh, a board-certified pediatrician and epidemiologist who's been treating children for over two decades.

Dr. Joel Gator breaks down the shocking reality behind rising autism rates – from 1 in 2,500 children in 1979 to 1 in 31 today, with California seeing 1 in 12.5 boys affected.

Fresh off the recent government announcement about acetaminophen and autism risks, Dr. Joel Gator provides his balanced, science-based perspective on what parents really need to know.

He explores the environmental factors affecting our children from birth (including the startling discovery of 287 industrial chemicals in newborn umbilical cord blood), discusses his integrative approach to pediatric care, and shares practical strategies through his "SEEDS" framework – focusing on Stress, Exercise, Environment, Diet, and Sleep.

This isn't about fear-mongering – it's about empowering parents with knowledge to make informed decisions in an increasingly toxic world.

Dr. Gator's message is clear: we can't control everything, but we can control more than we think when it comes to protecting our children's health and development. LIKE this video if you found it helpful

Did you know that babies are born with an average of 285 industrial contaminants already in their bloodstream? What if the key to protecting your child's future health starts before they're even born?

In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Dr. Gaetano Morello, a leading expert in functional medicine with over 33 years of experience in integrative health and detoxification.

Dr. Morello breaks down the science behind mitochondrial dysfunction, explaining how toxins act like "rotten lemons" that reduce our cellular energy production by up to 50%. He shares practical strategies for supporting your child's natural detoxification pathways, the critical role of the microbiome in toxin elimination, and why the first seven years are absolutely crucial for setting the foundation of lifelong health.
