For decades, we've beeLast week, I had the privilege of attending a press conference at the White House, led by RFK Jr., where he announced a comprehensive assessment identifying the key drivers behind the ongoing childhood chronic disease crisis.

Prior to the event, I had the opportunity to sit down with RFK Jr. for a podcast conversation focused on the root causes of chronic illness and the strategies being proposed to reverse this health crisis.

Today, American children face a dual burden of obesity and malnutrition. Autism rates have surged from 1 in 10,000 to an astonishing 1 in 31, and nearly 40% of teenagers are already on the path toward developing diabetes.

If we are to address this health crisis meaningfully, we must begin by prioritizing the well-being of our children - an essential theme of our podcast discussion.

Dr. Paul Saladino received his medical degree from the University of Arizona Medical School. His use of “doctor” or “Dr.” in relation to himself solely refers to that degree. Dr. Saladino is a licensed physician in California, but he no longer practices in any state and does not see patients so he can focus on educating people as a full time activity.

This video is for general informational purposes only. It should not be used to self-diagnose and it is not a substitute for a medical exam, cure, treatment, diagnosis, and prescription or recommendation. It does not create a doctor-patient relationship between Dr. Saladino and you.

You should not make any change in your health regimen or diet before first consulting a physician and obtaining a medical exam, diagnosis, and recommendation. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
