Listen as Beth reveals staggering numbers about our nations kids. She shares no matter what different diagnostic category you look at, whether it’s asthma, ADHD, Autism, eczema or allergies, they are all on the same trajectory, which is up!This information should make you question: why?Why isn’t this being shared more? Why is this so under-reported and un-recognized? Why is this happening? Why now? Why aren’t we doing something about it? We wondered the same thing and it was a huge reason Pj wanted Beth on the show!Listen as both Pj & Beth share their viewpoints regarding our cultures habitual exercises to distrust our own maternal & healthy instincts, how we normalize symptoms & sickness, and how we need to be more open to understanding the impact of our environment and everyday convenient practices.Beth goes into intricate detail and explains what is “the total load theory” and how this is relevant to your families health.Both ladies go hard on issues we are facing, & neither hold back with their opinions of the current system, capitalism, our toxic culture and the one size fits all medicalized model that is in no way helping statistics change. With so much at stake, this episode is not only for all parents but for all who wish to do more for our children, the future and our world.Beth’s describes her biggest work to date: the Documenting Hope Project, which we believe ranks up there with the most important scientific work that is being done to date.

As PJ & Carla talk about their own families experiences with chronic illnesses & how they came into Functional Health, they discuss the common patterns of denial, low expectations and feeling abandoned by the system. They go deeply into some of the barriers & obstacles families, parents, caregivers & individuals are currently facing.PJ & Carla energetically describe Carla’s rising occupation of functional health coaching, the concepts & foundations that it’s based on, what exactly coaches do, how functional coaches differ from other health coaches, and why you may consider this as an option in your healing vs. traditional medicine. Additionally they identify the qualifications of what it takes to dial into this growing niche profession, which Carla also teaches as the Curriculum Director of Healthy Family Formula’s Certified Practitioners Program.PJ & Carla have an amazing connection & vibe; it's an episode that keeps you invested the entire time, especially if you find yourself, tired, sore, and struggling with unidentifiable or chronic health issues.
