Have you ever wondered why so many children today are dealing with chronic health issues? From food sensitivities and ADHD to anxiety and autoimmune disorders, these conditions have become so common that we’ve almost normalized them. But here’s the truth: this isn’t normal—it’s a wake-up call. Our kids are showing us that something in our environment and lifestyle needs to change.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Beth Lambert, an integrative health expert and the founder of Documenting Hope, an initiative focused on reversing chronic illnesses in children. We’ll explore why conditions like autism, asthma, and autoimmune disorders are on the rise, how modern habits have disconnected us from natural rhythms, and how simple shifts—like removing common toxins and upgrading nutrition—can lead to profound healing.
Beth also shares inspiring success stories of families who’ve seen life-changing improvements through small, mindful changes. Whether you’re a parent hoping to support your child’s health or someone interested in the link between lifestyle and well-being, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s possible.
Beth Lambert is a leading voice in holistic health, an author, and the founder of Documenting Hope, where she’s spent over 15 years documenting how personalized care and environmental changes can help children heal and thrive.
Listen now! This episode could be the shift you’ve been waiting for.

Do you ever feel like you’re racing through life, ticking off every wellness “to-do,” but still feeling drained, disconnected, or just… off? In a world obsessed with speed, the real magic might lie in learning to slow down. What if slowing down could actually make you healthier, more energized, and deeply fulfilled?

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” for your health but still not feeling your best? Maybe it’s the brain fog that won’t lift, the energy crash mid-afternoon, or the bloating that seems to happen no matter what you eat. It’s frustrating, right? But what if those symptoms weren’t “just normal” but rather signals your body is craving something deeper—like a reset?
In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I sit down with Dr. James DiNicolantonio, a cardiovascular research scientist, to explore the silent ways our diet and lifestyle might be holding us back. From the dangers of seed oils to the surprising impact of nutrient deficiencies, Dr. James and I dive into the science behind optimizing your energy, digestion, and mental clarity.
We also discuss the critical role of salt in brain function, how to manage sugar cravings without complete restriction, and why your morning coffee might be draining your body more than fueling it.
Dr. James DiNicolantonio is a leading expert in cardiovascular health and nutrition science, with over 300 publications in medical literature and bestselling books like The Salt Fix and Superfuel. He is also the Medical Advisor for IM8, and provides exclusive insights into the groundbreaking science driving IM8’s mission—a company dedicated to revolutionizing health and wellness through cutting-edge, evidence-based solutions designed to enhance vitality and longevity.

What if you could turn your daily routine into a powerful grounding ritual? 🌿 In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, Dr. Christian Gonzalez shares his morning practices that help him stay centered amidst life’s chaos. From mindful breathing to setting clear intentions, he dives into how connecting with nature and honoring your inner being can create more meaningful relationships and a deeper sense of calm.
We also talked about how grounding isn’t just about meditation—Dr. Gonzalez shows us how creative practices can be surprisingly therapeutic ways to reconnect with yourself. We also explore the importance of releasing repressed emotions and building resilience in the nervous system, opening the door to a more holistic approach to healing.
