Are today's children facing more chronic illness than ever before?
In this episode of the Meehan Mission Podcast, host Cathy Meehan sits down with pediatric physician Dr. Melinda Tenorio of Mindset Kids to explore why more children are struggling with conditions like eczema, asthma, obesity, anxiety, digestive issues, and other chronic health concerns.
Together, they discuss how functional medicine differs from traditional healthcare by focusing on root causes rather than simply treating symptoms. Dr. Tenorio shares her journey from conventional pediatrics into functional medicine and offers practical advice for parents looking to support their children's long-term health.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• What functional medicine is and how it applies to children • Why childhood chronic illness is increasing • The connection between nutrition, gut health, and wellness • How sleep, exercise, and lifestyle affect children's health • Practical ways to reduce toxins in your home • Why critical thinking and parental advocacy matter • The rise of anxiety, ADHD, and mental health challenges in kids • Simple habits families can adopt to build lifelong wellness
If you're looking for natural, holistic approaches to pediatric health and want to empower your family with practical tools, this conversation is for you.
