Why Are Our Children So Sick? The Root Causes Most Parents Miss - Dr. Paula Kruppstadt, M.D.

August 7, 2026 • 32 mins

America has the sickest generation of children in history, and it's NOT genetics. In this episode of Go to Health, Jonathan Marx sits down with board-certified pediatrician and functional medicine expert Dr. Paula Kruppstadt to uncover why chronic illness in children is skyrocketing and what parents can do TODAY to change their child's health trajectory. Dr. Kruppstadt breaks down her systems biology approach to pediatric functional medicine: treating the whole child, not just silencing symptoms. From the devastating impact of environmental toxins (glyphosate, plastics, processed foods) to the power of precision genetics, this conversation gives parents a roadmap to help their children thrive, even those facing autism, ADHD, PANS, and PANDAS. You'll learn how a simple cheek swab (the Wellness Blueprint Test) can reveal your child's hidden genetic vulnerabilities around inflammation, detoxification, and nutrient utilization, and exactly how to support those weaknesses through lifestyle changes. 🕐 Timestamps: 0:00 - What is pediatric functional medicine? 2:27 - Why are children sicker than ever? 3:24 - 6 lifestyle pillars every family needs 7:14 - The surprising power of family meals 9:16 - Genetics vs. Epigenetics explained 12:51 - Precision Genetics & the Wellness Blueprint Test 14:50 - How to get the test (cost, process, international access) 18:22 - PANS & PANDAS: what every parent needs to know 26:48 - A message of hope for parents 🌐 Learn about PANS & PANDAS: https://aspire.care/ 🧬 Get the Wellness Blueprint: https://get2theroot.com 🩺 Learn more here: https://gotohealthmedia.com/why-are-our-children-so-sick-the-root-cause-most-parents-miss-dr-paula-kruppstadt-md/ Learn more about your ad choices.
