The Made to Thrive Show

This one is about the kids, and it’s sad to say - the kid’s are not alright. Just 50 years ago, chronic disease in children and teens was a rarity. Now it’s the norm. I know things are bad, I talk about it and see it everyday, but when my guest today told me between 40% and 60% of American kids and teens have at least one chronic disease I was stopped in my tracks. We need to do something now to stop this unfolding catastrophe, and that is exactly what integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh is doing.
Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh is a respected integrative pediatrician known for his holistic approach to children’s health, combining conventional medicine with natural therapies. He advocates for preventative care, focusing on nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental factors to support overall wellness in his young patients. Dr. Warsh is also a prominent speaker and educator, dedicated to empowering parents with evidence-based tools for raising healthy children.

Join us as we explore: Why when you “step outside” you can’t go back aka when the woo-woo shows itself to actually be win-win. Exploring the staggering statistic that 50% of American children have a chronic disease, from autism to diabetes and depression and sadly more! How parenting forms the foundation of children’s healthy and why Dr Gator believes eating healthier as a family is not the monumental task it’s often made to seem. The soup study and why it matters. The massive impact of environmental toxicity and chronic disease, and the top toxins your family are exposed to everyday.
SEEDS, allergies, gut health, screens, stress exercise, detox - kid’s version.

Something must be done to change the trajectory of human health because the trends are catastrophic. But my mission is to transform lives and empower people to a life of good health, so despite sometimes feeling like this war is too big to win, I also know there are so many health heroes out there fighting in the same fight I am. That includes Dr Coburn Allen and the healthcare company Medici. This episode is an inside look into what the future of healthcare companies needs to look like if we are to reverse our sick-care system into an actual healthcare system.
Dr Coburn Allen is the Chief Medical Officer of Medici, a healthcare provider using the power of technology to offer people a better way. Motivated by the fact the United States spends twice as much on healthcare as its democratic peers yet has far worse health outcomes, Dr Allen’s mission is to create a healthcare system that is designed for the individual and aligned with real health. Medici allows patients easy access to a team of concierges, coaches, dieticians, nurses, doctors and specialists with just a single text message all at a simple, transparent and surprisingly low cost.
Join us as we explore:
What it is going to take to stop and reverse the sick-care system and stats that 60% of American adults have one chronic disease due only to lifestyle, 40% have two and most importantly on average all of them believe there is nothing they can do about it!
Why everyone needs not only a primary care physician in their life but a primary care team encompassing health care professionals like a health coach.
The power of measuring compassion in healthcare and using reality to motivate people to make sticky habits and change the trajectory of their lives.
The power of awareness and helping a pre-diabetic patient delay onset diabetes by 11 years with on average just one lifestyle change.
How the sickest 5% of people contribute to more than 50% of overall healthcare costs, and how preventative or medicine 3.0 is the only way forward we have to change that.
Using the power of AI to make a 20x better decision on whether to do further testing for patients, saving both lives and massive costs for patients.
The disastrous state of health of children, why college has become the nexus point of disease and what we need to do to change our kids’ future.

One in two men will get cancer. One in three women too. These statistics are as staggering and shocking as any I have ever heard. And yet everyone just continues to live their life as if those statistics don’t relate to them.
I cannot understand it. That’s why I wanted a cancer expert on my show to unpack what this horrendous disease is and how we can take proactive action to prevent it and not become another tragic statistic.
Chadi Nabhan, MD, MBA, is an award-winning hematologist and a medical oncologist who previously hosted an award-winning podcast, Outspoken Oncology, which has now been rebranded to Healthcare Unfiltered – an honest, raw, timely podcast tackling any and all topics in healthcare.
No edits and no filters; that is “Healthcare Unfiltered.” Combining his background in clinical care, cancer research, precision medicine, genomics, clinical trials, real-world data, controversies in medicine, and health care advocacy, Dr Nabhan brings a unique and powerful perspective to current medical events and is the author of “Toxic Exposure”.
Join us as we explore:
Everything cancer. What is cancer actually?! Why one type of cancer is very different to another. If cancer is genetic or more importantly hereditary? And if we have improved our ability to cure cancer since the war on cancer began in 1971?
Dr Nabhan’s key role in the cases against Monsanto and the nearly $11 BILLION they have paid to settle cases for the number one pesticide/herbicide in the world glyphosate and its proven carcinogenic effect.
What are the most scientifically backed evidence on how to decrease our risks of getting cancer, and what are our best strategies to get proactive and prevent cancer. (including impressive data regarding intermittent fasting)
The frightening link between metabolic disorders like obesity and at least 14 types of cancer risks, and whether cancer is perhaps actually at its root a metabolic disease.
The evolution of cancer care to precision oncology, and why that may be the hope we need in the apocalyptic rise of cancer.
How your blood can be a warning sign to possible cancer in the future, and why doing regular blood auditing can save your life.

After doing this podcast I realised there is one huge thing people are not taking ownership of but absolutely should be – air quality. Think about it, we worry about our diet, but only eat a few times a day.
We worry about exercising, but that’s maybe an hour a day. But we breathe every second of every day, and what if what we are breathing is full of aggravating and inflammatory toxins?!
David Millburn is the chief technology officer of Hypoair, a leading player in the air filtering space for over 15 years. Their proprietary technology is used from small homes to massive buildings.
All their technology is backed by a huge amount of science, and uses cutting edge technology that creates proven and innovative results. Their tests are available upon request, and cover topics including VOCs, MERS, Molds, MRSA, O3, TBC, HCHO, RSP, NH3, H2S, and much more.

Everything air quality – why it is so important for your health, the pollutants and toxins that are around us every day like molds, bacteria and viruses, the abundance of chemicals we think improve air quality but only make it worse, and why the air quality in your home is definitely worse than the air outside.
The dynamic nature of air quality - how it changes throughout the day, how it depends on your unique geography, on your neighbors and easy tips you can try today to assess the air quality around you.
The Hypoair technology, which product would be right for you and your home, Hypoair’s philosophy of addressing each area of your home individually and why their devices were the first globally tested on their impact on COVID19.

What is your rhythm? What is your beat? Who are your tribe? These are important questions to ask oneself as we navigate into a new year,, and another fresh opportunity arises for anyone and everyone to start anew.
I ask those questions because it is your vibe that attracts your tribe, and there is nothing more powerful and human than breathwork to raise your vibe, your health and your life. Niraj Naik’s SOMA breathwork technique and tracks have changed my life, and I hope you take the practice on too and change your life in 2024.
Niraj Naik is a certified pharmacist turned holistic health and breathwork expert, professional musician, serial entrepreneur, and one of the world’s most sought-after spiritual ceremony facilitators.
In 2010 he healed from a chronic illness using holistic practices and soon realised he needed to share his knowledge with others who may be struggling with poor health and well-being. Niraj Naik teaches and hosts events around SOMA breath, Breathe In Beats and more.
Join us as we explore:
Why “your vibe attracts your tribe”, how Niraj’s SOMA breathwork practices and events help the highest powered CEOS to choose a “third” path and how he is seeing people every day heal from incurable diseases.
Experience a LIVE SOMA session with Niraj!
A history of music as medicine, why the beats per minute matter, “breathing to the beat” and how music is at the root of miraculous healing.
The science behind SOMA breathing and heart coherence, and how just a few minutes a day of coherent breathing can be life changing.
Humming, nitric oxide, and the connection to longevity.
Using games and fun to teach breathwork to children, and allow them to experience the benefits of this amazing, side-effect free practice.
A message of hope, and if you have become afraid of all the craziness and darkness in the world, Niraj wants you to remember there is always a counter-force at play.
