What early baby symptoms like cradle cap or constipation signal future chronic disease?
What are some of the earliest warning signs that a child could be set up for a lifelong epidemic of chronic disease in the little years that a lot of parents ignore?
So much of the symptoms we see in babies today that are common are not normal. So that might be a cradle cap. Even if you as a parent did a really great job preparing yourself for pregnancy and childbirth, you have to deal with whatever your mother did and whatever your grandmother did. There's this thing called co-regulation, which is that you can actually regulate your child's nervous system by regulating your own nervous system. Autism is now one in 31, but I actually think it's much higher than that. In California, it's one in 20. ADHD is now, the official statistic is one in nine. I think it's much higher. You have one in eight kids with asthma. Every one of these conditions though, if you treat the root causes, which includes nutrition, environment, nervous system regulation, the how we're living our lives, the indoor, outdoor thing, the device usage, the wifi, you address those root causes, all those conditions can be reversed.
So your kid is sick. Maybe it's eczema. Maybe it's chronic allergies, asthma, ADHD, autism, anxiety, constipation, or even something as seemingly normal as cradle cap that just never really went away. Yeah, this episode blew my mind because apparently cradle cap is not normal. It's common, but it actually is a sign of something kind of going away in your baby. So you're hearing this and you're like, I am doing everything I can, but I am wondering, you know, what could have caused this? Is it genetics? Is it just bad luck? Or is it something in the modern world making my kids sick? And maybe the biggest question of all, can any of it actually be reversed? Today's guest is Beth Lambert. She's the founder and executive director of a nonprofit called Documenting Hope.
They are dedicated to uncovering the root causes of childhood chronic illness and developmental conditions. This is such a cool nonprofit. She has spent more than 15 years researching why today's kids are sicker than ever and what families can do to change that. Watch this episode on the Real Alex Clark YouTube channel or Culture Pot the Carry on Spotify. And then before we get started, pause! Make sure you leave a five-star review if it's been a while. I am seeing a lot of people listening, but not a lot of people leaving those five-star reviews. It's really, really important to help us out. Please welcome Beth Lambert, founder and executive director of Documenting Hope to Culture Apothecary. We have the safest car seats, the most vaccines, all of the pediatric specialists you could want, and somehow our kids are the sickest they've ever been.
What do you think is happening here?
So I think everybody wants to answer that question by looking at one singular thing. or it's chemicals or it's vaccines. But the true answer is it's basically modern living. So we have completely changed the way that we live as compared to our ancestors and, you know, even just a few generations ago. And so the things that we're eating, the things we're putting on our skin, the pace of our lives, the digital... I mean, even just, you know, our medical care and how we take care of our own health is completely changed. It's actually the cumulative and compounding effect of living in the modern world. I call it the total load. Essentially, our children just don't have the capacity to get rid of the toxins, to be able to handle the infections that come their way, to be able to deal with the onslaught of modern living health stressors.
And that's why we have so many sick kids. You're also collecting one of the largest data sets on childhood exposure. Is that right? Yes. We have a study called the CHIRP study, and that stands for Child Health Inventory for Resilience and Prevention. It's kind of a mouthful. But essentially, we wanted to understand what is it about modern living that's making our children so sick? And is there something in particular that stands out that maybe we could address?
