On today’s episode, Dr. Shefali welcomes Dr. Will Cole to explore why children are facing health challenges once more commonly associated with adults—from diabetes and autoimmune conditions to hormonal concerns, digestive issues and mental health struggles. Dr. Cole shares his perspective on accelerated biological aging, what may be contributing to these challenges and steps parents can take to support their children’s well-being. A functional medicine practitioner, pioneer in functional medicine telehealth, New York Times bestselling author and father of two, Dr. Cole draws on his new book, Heal Your Cells, to help parents better understand their own health, what their children may be experiencing and how to make more informed choices for the whole family.

On today’s episode, we dig deep into overparenting with Dr. Sigi Cohen, a renowned child development specialist and parenting expert.

Dr. Sigi explains how, with the best intentions, parents may actually be holding their kids back by doing too much for them. We overtalk, overlecture, overprotect, overaccommodate and overdo almost everything, which can lead to helplessness, weaker coping skills, fragility and increased anxiety. It’s an important conversation about when helping our kids becomes too much help, and how we can give them the space and confidence to handle more on their own.

As parents, it can be difficult to know when to step in and help—and when to step back. Should I bring my child’s forgotten homework to school? Should I get involved when they’re having issues with a friend? This week I’m turning to Yahoo Scout to identify common issues and get a perspective from reliable sources as we explore how to support our kids while helping them build independence.

On today’s episode, Dr. Shefali sits down with power couple Erin Lichy and Abe Lichy to ask a question so many couples wrestle with: Can you really have it all?

Erin, known from The Real Housewives of New York City, is a mom of four and an entrepreneur. Her husband, Abe, is an attorney, entrepreneur and podcast host. Together, they open up about what it really takes to balance marriage, parenting, careers and a very full life.

They talk about how they keep intimacy alive, how they discipline their kids, what triggers them, how they divide responsibilities and how they actually get everything done without losing themselves or each other along the way.
