What We Got Wrong about Kids’ Health in 2025

Are kids really sicker than before? Are screens hurting our kids more than we realize? And did we miss something important about anxiety, vaccines, or environmental exposures in 2025?

If you’ve felt overwhelmed by headlines or worried you might be missing something important, this episode is your calm, evidence-based reset for the new year.
