Raising nature-savvy kids over brand-savvy ones 🌱🌳 via @drjoelgator . REPOST | In today’s tech-savvy world, it’s easy for kids to rattle off the names of influencers, brands, and celebrities. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, it’s essential not to lose sight of the wonders that Mother Earth has to offer. 🌍 . Why is Nature So Important? 🌿 Research has shown that exposure to nature can reduce stress, improve mental well-being, and encourage physical activity in children. It also fosters creativity and improves focus, which is essential for a child’s overall development. . Steps to Raise Nature-Savvy Kids 🐾 1️⃣ Nature Walks: Take frequent walks and point out different plants, birds, and animals. 2️⃣ Gardening: Teach them the basics of gardening. Let them plant a seed and watch it grow. 3️⃣ Outdoor Games: Encourage playing games that involve natural elements—think scavenger hunts or nature bingo. 4️⃣ Books and Apps: Use educational books or apps focused on wildlife and botany. . Long-Term Impact 💚 Knowing the natural world intimately enriches a child’s life and cultivates a sense of responsibility to protect it. Let’s raise a generation that can name the trees in their local park, recognize the birds that visit their backyard, and understand the importance of coexisting with the natural world. 🌳🐦 Who’s with me? 🙌 #RaisingConsciousKids #NatureLove #holisticpediatrics #DrJoelGator #DrGator #RaisingKids
LOVE this ❤️ - ✨Teaching Compassion ✨- via @drjoelgator . In the journey of raising kind, empathetic souls, one of the most vital lessons we can share with our children is the power of friendship. It’s essential to remember that not all children go home to environments filled with love and understanding. Some face challenges we can’t imagine, carrying burdens far too heavy for their little shoulders. As parents and guardians, let’s guide our children to be the light in someone else’s life. Encourage them to extend a hand of friendship, to offer a smile that could brighten someone’s day, and to share words of kindness that could be the highlight of a friend’s week. 🌟 Here’s how we can start: 1. **Lead by Example**: Show them what it means to be a good friend in your relationships. 2. **Encourage Empathy**: Talk about feelings and teach them to consider others’ perspectives. 3. **Foster Inclusivity**: Celebrate differences and encourage your child to befriend those from diverse backgrounds. 4. **Promote Acts of Kindness**: Small gestures can make a big difference. Encourage them to reach out to those who may feel left out or alone. Every child deserves to feel loved and supported, not just at home but in the world around them. By teaching our kids to be good friends, we’re planting seeds of love that will grow into a forest of compassion, kindness, and understanding. Let’s make a difference, one friendship at a time. 💖 #DrGator #HolisticPediatrics #KindnessMatters #TeachCompassion #RaiseGoodHumans #friendshipgoals #parenting #parentingwithunderstanding #parenting101 #parentwithpurpose #parentwithlove #bethechange #friend #friendship #youvegotafriendinme #parentwin #holisticsleepcoaching #parentsupport #beafriend #bemyfriend #teachyourchildren #teachers #teachersofinstagram #mommylife #mommy #daddy #reallifeheroes #hero #love #friendship #friendshipgoals #friendshipquotes

🌿✨ Reflecting Wellness in Every Action ✨🌿 As we journey through the realm of holistic pediatric care, it’s essential to remember that our actions serve as the blueprint for the next generation. 🌱 Kids are like mirrors, impeccably reflecting what they observe. Every word, every action, and every intention we set forth is mirrored in their behavior, their beliefs, and their approach to life. This week on our whiteboard, we’re embracing a powerful reminder: “Kids are like mirrors. What they see is what they do. Be a good reflection.” 🪞💫 In the realm of integrative health, we understand that well-being is not just about physical health; it’s about modeling behaviors that foster emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness. Let’s commit to being exemplary reflections for our children. Show them love, kindness, patience, and resilience. Let them see us care for ourselves, for others, and for the planet. 🌍💖 Your actions are the most potent lessons you can offer. Let’s be the best version of ourselves, not just for our health but for the health of our children who are watching, learning, and reflecting. 🌟 #HolisticHealth #PediatricCare #BeAGoodReflection #WellnessJourney #IntegrativeMedicine #ChildrensHealth #LeadByExample #HealthyLiving #Mindfulness #DrGator #screentime #screentimetips #respectfulparenting #positiveparenting #parenting #parentingwin #parentinglife #parentingtip #momsofinstagram #parentingishard #parentingadvice #parentingmemes #parentinghacks #gentleparenting #parenting101 #parentingquotes

I’m in. Goals! 🙌🏻 Posted @withregram • @drjoelgator In a world that’s rapidly changing, it’s time to pause and reimagine the shape of our future. 🌟 #NewAgenda2030 is more than a dream; it’s a call to action for a life where we are not just inhabitants of the earth, but caretakers. 🌍💞 Picture yourself as the proud owner of a regenerative farm, where every seed planted is a step towards healing our planet. 🌱🍃 Imagine your hands in the soil, the satisfaction of growing your food, and the joy of sharing it with others. Envision a life where your home is nestled in a small, serene community. 🏡✨ A place where neighbors know each other by name, where children learn the value of togetherness, and elders are treasured for their wisdom. 🤗👵👶 This is a community that thrives on peace, mutual support, and a shared commitment to living gently on the earth. In this NewAgenda2030, happiness comes from the richness of relationships, not the richness of possessions. It’s about finding joy in the rhythms of nature, the laughter of friends, and the quiet moments of contentment. 🌅👫 It’s a future where we measure wealth not by what we own, but by what we contribute to the collective well-being. Let’s dare to redefine progress. To seek fulfillment in sustainability, community, and harmony. 💕🔄 Share your thoughts and join the conversation.

🍂🌆 When #FallPlans Take on a Whole New Meaning 🌆🍂 Today, a patient asked me about my "fall plans." For a second there, my mind went to societal collapse, and the whole nine yards. 😅 Then it clicked: they were talking about autumn! 🍁🎃 In these challenging times, it's easy for our thoughts to gravitate towards the serious and the stressful. But let's not forget the beauty that each season brings, both in nature and in life. So, what are YOUR fall plans? Picking out pumpkins? Leaf-jumping?

Our body is not designed to be stressed out all of the time, and our bodies are not programmed to do that; we were programmed to have this stress response to get us out of immediate danger but not every day. And that changes your body, your hormones, and it changes everything inside your blood flow while you're stressed out and nervous. And so you're constantly gaining one thing and losing something else. So take it easy. Know when to rest, what to eat, what is best for your body. Listen to the twelfth episode of The Gutsy Health Podcast as Dr. Joel Warsh shares with us the things we need to avoid to maintain our family’s health, especially our children’s. 🌈🧒 #gutsyhealthpodcast #drgator #mentalhealth #stressresponse

Can’t believe it’s been 6 months since surgery! Left is before braces, right is 1 year after braces and before surgery. Middle is today. 6 months after triple jaw surgery. Can’t believe there’s only 4-5 months left of me having braces! Time is going so fast. 2 years is almost up! It’s crazy! So thankful to all the people who have supported and helped me along this adventure ! Can’t say it was all the easy. But I’m almost at the top of the hill.

👨🏻⚕️🐊 Parenting Tip from #BabyAndToddlerBasics: . When interviewing a child care provider, you will learn the most by asking the ‘What If’ questions. . What would you do if my baby won’t nap? What if he cries? What if he won’t eat? What if he has a fever? What if he throws up? What happens if the power goes out? What will you do if somebody knocks at the door while you’re watching my child? What will you do if you run out of milk? . By thinking and talking about all the ‘what if’ scenarios that might worry you while you are away from your child, you can find out about the child care provider’s problem-solving ability, personality, and strategy in how they will care for your child. . Always ask about their experience, references, price, hours, flexibility, communication during the day, CPR training, how the children will nap (back to sleep in bare crib), and how the provider will feed your child. . . #drtanya #calabasaspediatrics #pediatrician #childcare repost @drtanyaaltmann #babysitter #parenting101 #momlifeisthebestlife #drgator #integrativepediatricsandmedicine #functionalmedicine #drjoelgator #parentingquotes #parentinghacks #parentingtips #parentinggoal
👨🏻⚕️🐊 An age-old naturopathic remedy that we use in our clinic for immune flares (autoimmune and mild allergy/histamine symptoms) is baking soda; ¼ tsp dissolved in a glass of water, taken every 15 minutes as needed up to a total of 1 tsp/d. * * Cheap, no frills, effective. Now, new animal ＋ human research published in The Journal of Immunology provides some (more) evidence about why this works—baking soda appears, in part, to temper the response of mesothelial cells, little ‘sentinel’ cells that sense environmental stimuli and provide instructions to immune cells, and shift activity from pro- to anti-inflammatory via the spleen. * * In the study, human subjects were administered 0.43 tsp baking soda in 250 mL water, just shy of our typical dosing above. One caveat – don’t overuse, since baking soda blocks stomach acid activity, and adequate stomach acid is an important factor in a healthy gut and helps prevent histamine and food sensitivities from developing. Short term administration may increase stomach acid secretion, however. #integrativepediatricsandmedicine #drgator #drjoelgator repost @drkarafitzgerald #ifm #functionalmedicine
👨🏻⚕️🐊 Want an easy health hack that can significantly improve the nutrient content of your food? Use herbs! The coolest part about herbs is you can grow them anywhere. On a balcony, in an office under a light or really anywhere you can find a nice patch of dirt! All herbs are packed with phytonutrients which plants make to protect themselves from damage. Not only do they have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities they also may enhance immunity, intercellular communication, repair DNA damage from exposure to toxins, detoxify carcinogens and alter estrogen metabolites. Here are some of my favs: •rosemary - contains carnosol, a potent antioxidant •thyme - contains thymol, an antioxidant and can help aid in wound healing. You can boil thyme and swish it in your mouth to ease inflammation. •oregano - antiviral and antifungal, love this herb for clearing out pathogenic bacteria from the gut •basil - anti inflammatory and antiviral •mint - eases digestive troubles and nausea #nutrition #integrativepediatricsandmedicine #drgator #guthealth repost @fearlessfig #ifm #drjoel

👨🏻⚕️🐊 Normal babies cry several hours a day. Some babies cry for several hours a day for no apparent reason. This often occurs around 1-2 months old. If you concerned you should always see your pediatrician to rule out anything serious. For colic, there are multiple natural ways to deal with colic including gripe water, chamomile, massage and acupuncture. If you have a child with colic, check out my parent handout on natural methods for handling colic, gas and belly pain. Link in bio
