In this episode, Dr. Murray Clarke and Bryce Wylde sit down with Dr. Elisa Song, MD, a Stanford, NYU and UCSF-trained integrative pediatrician and national bestselling author of Healthy Kids, Happy Kids, to break down why childhood chronic illness has exploded over the past 40 years, and what's actually driving it. They dig into the data: autism up 500%, ADHD up 400%, and a jump from 1 in 50 kids with a chronic medical condition in 2007 to nearly 1 in 2 today.
