You have 47 books. These are manuals for every
0:03
question under the sun. What I'm about to tell you
0:05
actually won the Nobel Prize. What do you think is the top
0:08
food, the number one food on the planet you can start giving
0:13
babies to shape their taste for? Tell us about how kids are
0:17
faring today health wise versus say, a decade or two.
0:20
Ago we're seeing cardiovascular disease in 10 year olds.
0:23
We're seeing high blood pressure in 10 year olds.
0:24
Type 2 diabetes is not epidemic in children.
0:27
But the good news, Good news, Lila.
0:32
Hi everyone, welcome back to the Lila Rose Show.
0:35
I am thrilled that I get to sit down today with Doctor Bill
0:38
Sears. The esteemed Doctor Bill Sears,
0:40
the author of 47 books, father of eight, grandfather too many
0:44
more, husband to his beautiful wife for almost 60 years, and
0:48
someone who was on the cover of Time magazine because of his
0:51
incredible parenting advice as well as his incredible offering.
0:55
Of how to best keep your child healthy.
0:58
And so today's also we're going to be exploring all things
1:01
health for our children with Doctor Bill Sears.
1:03
Many of you have not yet hit that subscribe button.
1:06
We've noticed that there's over 80% sometimes of listeners who
1:09
check out this channel, listen to episodes, but aren't yet
1:11
subscribed. So make sure that you hit that
1:13
subscribe. Button, Doctor Bill, thank you
1:15
for joining the podcast. Thank you, Lila.
1:17
I'm I'm honored to be here. I'm so glad you're here.
1:19
I've been a fan of yours for years now.
1:22
Thank you. And I I was so delighted when I
1:25
found out that you are practicing in Southern
1:28
California. So you're a local?
1:30
That's my 50th year in practice. Amazing.
1:33
We had your son on the show recently, Doctor Bob Sears, and
1:38
you've got all these doctor sons.
1:42
But for for those who are meeting you for the first time,
1:44
give us a little background on Doctor Bill Sears.
1:47
I'll give you a little bit my own background.
1:50
I grew up as sort of on what would be called now called an
1:54
underprivileged child, single mom.
1:58
My dad took off when I was a month of age and I but my mother
2:05
surrounded me with quality mentors.
2:09
She made me go to the best Christian schools.
2:13
I had to work and pay the tuition myself.
2:17
And then at at high school, when it came to high school, I said,
2:22
mom, I'm going to go to the fun school.
2:25
You know, no rules, no God, no Billy.
2:29
You will go to Marquette High and you will earn the tuition.
2:33
Thank you, mom. And then after high school, I
2:37
was going to be a priest. So I went in a seminary for
2:40
three years and discerned out from priesthood to doctor hood.
2:46
But I love what I learned during those years in a seminary.
2:51
Made me a better father and a better doctor and now I'm in my
2:57
50th year as a pediatrician. I'm loving it because I call it
3:04
the helpers high that say you come in with your baby first
3:11
time parents and I look at that precious little baby.
3:14
I mean, babies are blessings from God, and I give you tools
3:19
to start out. If I give that patient a toolbox
3:25
to take home from my office for their children, I've influenced
3:30
that tiny, precious little baby for another 80 years.
3:35
Wow. And so I go to bed every night
3:39
with what I call the helper's high.
3:42
I don't. Hmm, wow, that some parent child
3:46
may be a little bit healthier and happier because of of what I
3:49
did. So that's sort of a summary of
3:52
why I still love practicing. That's beautiful, very
3:55
beautiful. And how many children at this
3:58
point, any estimation of how many children you have served as
4:01
pediatrician for after 50 years of work?
4:05
Many, many, many, many. I I've was even been at.
4:08
I've been at about 500 births because I used to be.
4:12
So it's called a perinatologist. I would go to to birth
4:17
situations. So and that's, you know, but
4:21
that's when I realized that. What do you think is the
4:26
greatest degree a person can have in their whole life?
4:31
It starts with an M and it's not MD.
4:36
Mom. Mom, Right, MOM.
4:40
So. True.
4:41
I think it's the greatest degree gonna.
4:43
Make me cry already. Yeah, I'm just.
4:46
A simple male. Well, and what I love about your
4:50
body of work, you have 47 books and I've seen, you know, I'll
4:54
admit, I've I've, I've definitely read some, but 47
4:57
these are manuals for every question under the sun,
5:01
breastfeeding, discipline, diet, the early years attachment.
5:06
You do all of you. You've really provided really
5:09
accessible information on all of these aspects of parenting for
5:14
moms, for dads, and I'm just grateful for that body of work
5:17
and the common sense approach that you take.
5:20
It's also available a lot of your body work at
5:21
askdoctorsears.com where if you have a question, I mean, I've,
5:24
I've googled, you know, whether it's a sickness my child has,
5:27
it's a parenting issue, it's toilet training.
5:29
Whatever you Google on your Google, you look on your your
5:32
website, you're my ChatGPT, Dr. Sears.
5:36
Thank you. You mentioned a magic word.
5:37
Grateful. And I'm grateful to the parents
5:41
in my practice because a little thing I our books were written
5:48
on the job when I would teach a parent or I see a parent who was
5:55
fantastic and their kid was turning out so well, you know, a
6:00
well disciplined child, a sensitive child, an eye contact
6:04
child, I would write down what the mom does.
6:09
So at the end of the day, I would have a whole volume of
6:12
notes. And that's what was the material
6:16
for our book. And then my wife Martha, God
6:21
bless her, she's a a model mom. And we were on good more America
6:26
one time. And Joan Lunden says, you know,
6:29
where where did you get the material for?
6:33
How's your marriage survive writing all these books
6:35
together? And she says Bill writes it, I
6:38
fix it. Wow, that's amazing.
6:43
So there are a lot of places we could start.
6:46
The one of the most urgent questions that we were
6:49
discussing even before we started this interview is the
6:52
health epidemic in America with kids.
6:55
It is. Tell us about how kids are
6:58
faring today health wise, versus say, a decade or two ago.
7:02
Yes, well, first of all, there used to be a word in the
7:08
doctor's dictionary called adult onset diseases.
7:12
That word doesn't exist anymore because children are getting
7:16
them. We're seeing cardiovascular
7:19
disease in 10 year olds, we're seeing high blood pressure in 10
7:23
year olds. Diabetes Type 2 diabetes is now
7:27
epidemic in children and the the prediction, which I hope is
7:33
wrong, is that 50% of today's children will eventually have
7:38
diabetes. 50 percent, 50% of kids will have diabetes.
7:42
Alzheimer's. I was having lunch the other
7:46
yesterday with Doctor Vince Hartness.
7:49
Vince is a an Alzheimer's specialist.
7:52
He wrote anti Alzheimer's prescription book.
7:55
I said Vince, when does Alzheimer's begin?
7:59
He said in adolescence. How is that even possible?
8:03
That's when the brain starts changing a bit.
8:07
See. So if you have Alzheimer's,
8:10
diabetes, cancer, cancer is now at all time high in children.
8:19
See so, but the good news, the good news, Lila is all that's
8:26
prevented. I don't, I'm not a statistic
8:28
person, you know, but everything we talked about there is
8:34
preventable, reversible, correctable tools.
8:42
And that's what I when a patients in my office, for
8:45
example, patients reading our books, I want them to leave with
8:50
a toolbox to give to their children so they don't get all
8:55
that stuff. We call it later on.
9:00
Well, let's get into the toolbox because I am all ears.
9:03
I have a 5 year old, a three-year old and a one year
9:05
old. So we're on the front end of it
9:07
and I know a lot of our listeners are either parents or
9:10
aspiring parents or very loving aunts, uncles, you know, care
9:15
about kids. Of course, before we get into
9:18
the toolbox. So I got to ask.
9:19
So you were saying cancers at an all time high.
9:22
You were saying kids are even getting Alzheimer's now they're
9:25
getting diabetes at a rate they've never gotten before.
9:30
Autism is another. Thing, yeah, and ADHD, all that,
9:38
just so many. Seven Weeks Coffee is America's

10:22
The ADHD, for example, we have a book called the ADD Book and we
10:27
were on it was it was today show.
10:31
And Katie asked Martha, where did you get the information for
10:36
the ADHD book, the ADD book? And my wife says on national
10:42
television, it's my husband's autobiography.
10:46
They because there's an example of we're taking children who are
10:51
different. The ADHD is a disorder is called
10:56
and and things that are called disorders are only called
11:00
disorders because you can't bill for something if it doesn't have
11:05
a disorder on it. Oh man.
11:06
But it's a difference. Some children are wired
11:10
differently, so our purpose is to channel that difference, not
11:17
to change them. That's the point I always make
11:22
with when you mention ADHD. That is the difference.
11:27
Do you think that the higher diagnosis in autism, ADHD today,
11:35
it's not so much that more kids are are autistic or have any
11:39
other different things but or have ADHD or ADD, it's that we
11:43
are just diagnosing higher because some people say the one
11:45
in 30 sad about autism. Well, it probably did exist
11:48
maybe 30-40 years ago. It's just we diagnosed more
11:51
when, like you say, doctors may be incentivized.
11:53
To do that both I think we're diagnosing it better.
11:57
We our treatment tools are better, our medical care is
12:00
better, but also what isn't better is our children's brains.
12:10
I always come back to the brain because that's the greatest
12:14
organ, the brain. Children's brains are growing up
12:20
in a polluted world. Until we change some of that,
12:26
we're not going to stop the epidemic of autism.
12:31
So that's that's why. So it sounds like what you're
12:33
saying is that the a lot of these issues, including autism,
12:38
you would argue it's it's a polluted world, not so much
12:40
genetic issues per SE passed on through generations, although I
12:44
guess you could, you know, have an overtime have environmental
12:48
issues, maybe adjust genetics and what's passed on.
12:51
But largely speaking, it sounds like you're saying it is the
12:54
toxicity in the world today. Is that plastic?
12:57
What? What is it?
12:57
That's the you. Mentioned the magic word
12:59
toxicity. You know, in fact, I I dream a
13:03
lot. I had a dream one day see
13:07
mothers have a way of changing things.
13:12
But look what moms did for the whole birthing atmosphere.
13:17
You know, 30 years ago, say moms is moms would say it's my baby,
13:23
my body, my birth and I'm not going to give birth in these old
13:28
sterile rooms look like an operating room.
13:32
And now the hospitals if they're going to stay in baby business,
13:36
birthing suites, oh, labor tubs. All those did because mothers
13:42
demanded it. So I had a dream that mothers,
13:45
millions of mothers, marched on Washington and said stop
13:50
polluting our children. When did you have that dream?
13:54
About a year ago, Yeah. And I dream that sometimes.
13:58
Stop polluting our children, stop putting in these weed
14:02
killers that our children are eating, stop all the the
14:06
artificial stuff. And so that's my dream that
14:10
eventually mothers will prevail that I'm not buying that for my
14:17
precious child to put in their brain.
14:20
So mothers, mothers, mothers. I'm a mom.
14:24
A lot of moms, I'm sure are listening and dads, what would
14:26
you say? I know we're going to get to the
14:28
toolbox. What would you say are the top,
14:30
let's say 5, You pick the number, the top basically in
14:33
your view, pollutants, things that are toxic, toxic.
14:37
You mentioned weed killers, I think and I, I presume that's on
14:40
the vegetables or the out, you know, the fruit that our kids
14:43
are going to be eating. So non organic vegetable
14:45
produce. Perhaps you're speaking to that,
14:47
I don't know. So I'd love to hear your take on
14:48
that. What are the kind of culprits?
14:51
No, I think weed killers tops. Tops what's?
14:55
The top one they they spray so that the plants, the things go,
15:00
the weeds are killed, but the grass and and the plants go
15:03
better. So they make money on it.
15:06
So others would be artificial sweeteners, aspartame.
15:12
Got to get rid of that. What about stevia is OK?
15:14
Stevia. Good.
15:15
Stevia, Yeah, Stevia is OK, but not.
15:19
You're on that subject though. One of the things we teach
15:22
parents we call shaping young tastes.
15:27
Shaping young tastes. Today's kids are being shaped to
15:33
have a sugar taste. That's why they Add all this
15:37
stuff. They're not eating real foods.
15:41
So we start our patients off with what we call at at I give
15:46
my little shaping young taste lecture shape young taste at six
15:52
months when they start solid foods after after you know, as
15:56
breastfeeding and they I say now you want your child to develop a
16:02
natural taste for real foods, not artificial foods.
16:08
So we start with avocados first food, you know mama's the
16:16
tongue, the best food. Food is mama's finger because
16:21
they solve the babies are used to it.
16:24
Avocados, sweet potatoes and seven months.
16:29
What do you think is the top food, the number one food on the
16:34
planet? The most nutritious food you can
16:37
start giving babies to shape their taste for?
16:42
What would be your guess? Besides the avocados and the
16:45
sweet potatoes. Yeah, besides avocados and.
16:48
I want to get this right and it's a Is it a fruit or a
16:51
vegetable? Not yet.
16:53
I'll give you a clue. It swims in the sea.
16:56
Salmon. Salmon.
16:57
You got it. It's biblical.
17:00
You know, salmon. Salmon Lila, you were to Google
17:07
the nutrient content of salmon. Wow, 10 nutrients in a measly
17:14
250 calories of a handful of salmon.
17:19
And all those nutrients are for a baby's brain and immune
17:24
system. Mother's milk, Baby's brain
17:29
growth and immune system growth, Baby's microbiome or gut, Gut
17:35
bugs, growth salmon. So that's why we start salmon.
17:40
We have a little saying our Alfred salmon at seven months
17:43
wild salmon from Alaska. They saw this like this just
17:49
shaping young taste. Make your own baby food.
17:54
Don't buy it. Make your own baby food so that
17:56
babies grow up with the taste of real food.
18:01
And I have a look affection. I use my office as sort of a
18:06
laboratory to study it. And I would find that mothers
18:12
would come and say, you know, we have four children, and this is
18:16
the first child I've stuck with real foods.
18:21
And now he's five years of all of age.
18:25
He'll eat salmon, he'll eat vegetables.
18:28
He'll eat all the things my other kids wouldn't because I
18:31
started early with real foods with real foods.
18:37
So they have a taste for real foods.
18:40
So then with the kids who have a taste for real food, if they
18:43
have a, they go to a party or something, they'll get, they get
18:47
artificial sweeteners or something like that.
18:49
Let's say they'll come home Yucky.
18:52
They use the term yucky yucky, yucky because their, their,
18:57
their mouthfeel and their gut. They say Yucky tell me sometimes
19:02
they're so used to real foods that when they put unreal food
19:05
in it, it's like, Nope, don't belong here.
19:09
So that's a shaping. Young Taste is is a big
19:12
parenting tool. I have to ask, since we're on
19:15
this topic, would you give, would you recommend, let's say
19:18
we're using organic flour, we're using organic sugar, but we're
19:21
baking cookies. We're, you know, making coffee
19:23
cake where? I mean, I'm just talking about
19:24
myself here, guys. I do these things right?
19:27
And you give a little piece to the one year old.
19:30
I mean, would you not introduce processed?
19:33
I guess it's it's it's I'm processing the food.
19:35
But would you not introduce, you know, actual cane sugar to a
19:39
child one or under or at what age would you would you say they
19:42
can have the donut? You don't ever need to.
19:46
They'll get it. They'll get it at school, get it
19:48
at parties. You don't have to have it.
19:51
No. Put honey in it.
19:53
Want some sweetener? Put honey in it.
19:56
I I drink honey water sometimes, like when I'm going for an
19:59
interview because I need nutrition.
20:01
But yeah, but but real taste. Now an example of that you
20:07
mentioned genetics. Bed sheets matter.
20:10
You want bed sheets that are silky smooth, breathable, made
20:14
from good materials that are healthy for your skin.
20:17
I've been so thrilled to sleep on sheets made by cozyearth.com.
20:21
Cozy Earth sheets are made from viscose, from bamboo, and they
20:24
are the silkiest, softest sheets that you will ever sleep on.
20:28
They also wash really well. We've washed ours now many, many
20:31
times and they're still as silky as they were on day one.
20:34
Cozy Earth also has the most premium and comfy cozy robes.
20:37
They have these wonderful viscose, those from bamboo
20:40

21:07
children. We, we kid each other.
21:09
You know, dad, you forgot our name, but we're #7 anyway,
21:13
number child #7 Stephen. Stephen came in our to our
21:18
family differently abled Down syndrome genetic Cork.
21:26
And I remember Martha and I the day he was born.
21:33
And we said he has a genetic quirk and I started studying it
21:41
in a term is epigenetics. We can't change his genes.
21:46
He will always have that extra chromosome, can't change that.
21:50
But epigenetics means that you can change how the genes behave.
21:58
So we started him on all healthy, real food.
22:06
Martha breastfed him for three years.
22:08
It's very hard to breastfeed kids who can't suck very well.
22:12
He had real food. He had salmon at seven months.
22:16
I had lunch with him 2 days ago and he said dad could order some
22:20
salmon for me. OK.
22:22
And he's 35 now. And so he's been our healthiest
22:26
child. Sports.
22:30
He's been every sport because movement, today's children
22:36
suffer from what I call the sitting disease and we'll talk
22:40
about that later maybe how movement is one of the best
22:43
medicines for growing children. So he was out there at age 3 and
22:48
4 hitting baseballs and hitting golf.
22:52
He plays golf now. They call him Harry Potter on
22:56
the golf course. And so that's just an example.
22:59
I say that if parents have a child with any type of genetic
23:03
quirks, epigenetics, you can change and influence how those
23:11
genes behave by how you parent and how you feel feed the child.
23:17
The question of nutrition, I'm going to guess is going to
23:20
continue to come back into this because I that's one key way to
23:23
protect the child. You're talking about when to
23:26
introduce certain foods, which I already learned something, so
23:29
thank you. Our one year old is already past
23:32
those foods, but for the next baby Lord wound, we've got
23:34
another one. I like.
23:35
I like your framing there. What are some of the tools in
23:38
the toolbox to protect our children?
23:41
You said it is possible to prevent some of these horrible
23:44
illnesses that are plaguing our kids.
23:47
Or if they're experiencing an illness, we can reverse it, you
23:50
know, or work on work towards reversal.
23:52
Talking about nutrition, weed killers, we talked about the
23:56
weed killers and how damaging those are.
23:58
Would you say we should only do organic food?
24:01
What's your take on on the food profile?
24:03
I would say a garden, grow your own.
24:07
Kids will eat what they grow. We learned that because we
24:10
always had a little backyard garden and they say go out and
24:14
pick some tomatoes, go out and pick some lettuce.
24:16
Children won't eat what they grow.
24:19
And you can get little gardens called Tower gardens that you
24:22
have in your house. Even so grow a garden.
24:26
But the big one, Lila, is get them off the couch and moving.
24:34
Imagine for a minute that the creator of the greatest creation
24:41
ever made, the human body, the female body, is the best film.
24:47
And the babies, yeah, babies are beautiful.
24:51
But the Creator knew that we humans are going to mess it up
24:54
by how we eat, live and think. So naturally, the Creator would
24:59
put within our bodies our own pharmacy, our own pharmacy.
25:09
And I, when I talk about this to Paris, what, we have pharmacies
25:14
inside our body. I never heard that.
25:16
Yeah. That makes sense, Doctor Bill.
25:19
Yeah. So then they say, well, where is
25:22
that pharmacy? I said we have a lot of them.
25:25
But with the biggest pharmacy, where do you think the biggest
25:28
pharmacy is? Where would you put it If you
25:32
wanted the medicines to get in the quickest to their their job
25:36
and get in the bloodstream the quickest, where would you put
25:39
it? Now they're thinking the lining
25:43
of the blood vessels, the endothelium.
25:48
Endothelium. This is the biggest word in
25:52
medicine at many people have never heard of.
25:55
The endothelium is the lining of your blood vessels.
26:00
So picture the lining of your blood vessels have trillions of
26:03
little microscopic medicine bottles, and those medicine
26:08
bottles dispense around 25 different medicines into your
26:13
body. Medicines that lower the highs
26:18
like high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, high blood
26:23
sugars. Medicines that raise the lows,
26:28
antidepressants, anti anxieties, medicines that heal your hurts,
26:33
anti inflammatories, medicines that keep blood from clotting
26:37
too fast, anticoagulant. See though you medicines you
26:42
make are inside your body. But because of one thing, the
26:51
pharmacy is partially closed in most children and most adults.
26:57
So the big thing is how do we keep our pharmacy open?
27:03
And it's one simple word, move. We are made to move, not to sit.
27:14
We're made to move, were made that way, and what I'm about to
27:22
tell you actually won the Nobel Prize.

28:19
That's We Heart nutrition.com. What I'm about to tell you
28:23
actually won the Nobel Prize, and I was taught this by a
28:27
Doctor Ignaro who I knew I was studying the body.
28:32
I knew somewhere in the body there's got to be a pharmacy.
28:35
God would not put us here without a pharmacy.
28:38
And so a friend of us said you need to talk to Doctor Lou
28:41
Ignaro, who won the Nobel Prize. So I called Lou, and he and his
28:46
wife came down to have spent the day with me in a long shot.
28:51
When you move, the blood flows faster over the tops of the
28:57
medicine bottles on the lining of your blood vessels.
29:02
So far, our listeners picture for a minute a blood, your blood
29:07
vessels and the blood was flowing faster and it creates an
29:12
energy field called a share force and opens the pharmacy.
29:17
So tomorrow if you're walking with friends, say I'm making my
29:23
own medicines, I'm opening my pharmacy.
29:26
And you do that by movement. See.
29:30
So this is one of the the first ways to start preventing a lot
29:36
of those things is by the more you move, the healthier you are
29:42
at all ages at all ages. Do you think that's one of the
29:47
reasons there's so many health issues plaguing our kids more
29:50
than ever before is because kids are sedentary?
29:53
Yeah, because we're not moving enough.
29:55
Now back to Doctor Mom. One of Doctor Mom's greatest
30:00
wisdoms is go outside and play. Go outside and play.
30:09
Well, I remember my mom and Martha saying that all the time
30:13
when I was, you know, misbehaving.
30:16
Go outside and play, Billy. Go outside and play.
30:19
So I studied that. I said, you know, what is it
30:21
about movement outdoors? And so I'm going to take you
30:29
into how this was all discovered a minute because I like to learn
30:35
the why behind the what. Why is moving outdoors so
30:40
healthy? Why do we feel so much better
30:44
when we just go outdoors? Well, here's why, Martha.
30:48
And we're over in Japan and giving lectures and Asian
30:54
lectures are very long. So my brain was just at the end
30:59
of the day. And so our host, Mr. Saganishi
31:01
said we're going to take you and Martha out for some Shinra and
31:04
Yoku Shin Min Yoku, which I thought was a Japanese drink.
31:09
So we get in this car and we drive up a mountain into a
31:15
woods, into a tree tunnel. And he says now we're going to
31:19
have some Shin Min Yoku, which is Japanese for forest bathing.
31:25
What we would call just go outside, play.
31:29
And after 1/2 hour walk in the woods, I thought, wow, I feel so
31:34
much better. They said would you like to
31:37
learn more? Next up, Tokyo University where
31:42
they have a whole department of Shenrin Yoku where they take
31:48
people of all ages who are anxious, depressed, Downers.
31:53
They have the immune problems, all the stuff.
31:56
And they take them out to a woods in the woods and they wire
32:00
them up with what we call windows to the brain.
32:04
Today's technology is amazing. Windows to tell it what's going
32:08
on inside there. And they draw fluid from every
32:12
orifice in the body to measure before and after the walk.
32:18
And here's what they found after a 20 to 30 minute walk.
32:22
Stress hormones went down. Happy hormones went up.
32:30
But the magnificent thing they found was that their immune
32:35
system, there's a we are God put within us an immune system army.
32:43
And the greatest fighters are called natural killer cells.
32:47
We have trillions of them all over their body.
32:50
And what they found after a walk in the woods, the number and
32:55
fighting ability of the Natural Killer Cells went up just from a
33:00
20-30 minute walk in the woods. So Doctor Mom was right.
33:05
Go outside and play. What if you don't have woods?
33:09
What if you're in a suburban neighborhood?
33:10
Is that good enough? Well.
33:11
You can, you can find out. You can go outside anyway.
33:13
You can find woods anywhere OK. Parks look for the woods.
33:16
That's important. Parks even like New Yorkers
33:19
Central Park, so most most cities have a wood somewhere
33:27
that you can find. And you mentioned ADHD Tor I
33:34
have some patience with this. And there's there's things
33:38
called forest schools, schools that are in next to a woods.
33:45
So the kids are outdoors most of the day and they're ADHD
33:51
whatever it is went down. So again, we are made to let the
34:01
sunshine in, we are made to be outdoors a lot.
34:06
Do you think that's part of the problem, Dr. Sears, that a lot
34:09
of our schools today, they are these sort of industrial, you
34:14
know, dark, not a lot of natural light buildings and then the
34:18
playground is like a bunch of plastic on a tarmac.
34:22
You nailed it, Lila. You nailed it.
34:25
The schools don't get it. They first of all, many are
34:32
built near freeways. Not good.
34:39
They don't have that when they when they took recess out of
34:43
schools, the Ritalin dosage went up.
34:49
What do you think? So a few years ago I was giving
34:54
a talk and a city called Naperville, IL near Chicago.
35:00
Through I learned this. It's called the Naperville study
35:05
where schools in Naperville, they had a high percentage of
35:10
kids with their DSADDADHD, depression, all the D's, highly
35:15
medicated school absences. The kids were not healthy.
35:20
So what they did is they did an experiment.
35:22
They had children come, the kids who were disturbed the most.
35:27
They had them come to school 1/2 hour early and run around the
35:33
schoolyard for 1/2 hour. Grades went up, medicines went
35:42
down, school absences went down. Called the Naperville study and
35:49
that opened the eyes to so many schools that let's get our kids
35:55
moving again. Let's have windows, big windows
36:00
in the classrooms, not artificial light, not for
36:05
lesson, but but the children learn less.
36:09
Like one of the characteristics of ADHD children, they're
36:15
staring out the window all the time because they want to be out
36:18
the window. That's it.
36:21
So sad to think about. I mean, there's a whole
36:24
generation of kids that we are stuffing inside fluorescent lit
36:30
concrete buildings. Yeah, yeah.
36:33
So we have, we have our work cut out for us.
36:35
And that's that's why I'm so glad your programs like this,
36:39
because mothers are the movers and the Shakers.
36:45
Fathers too. Get all these politicians, get
36:51
those schools the way they should be.
36:54
Get them and so mothers will win.
36:57
Just takes a while. What are some other things that
37:01
would be in your toolbox to help your kids be as healthy as
37:05
possible in this world of toxicity that we're in?
37:08
Well, so we have moose smart is number one.
37:12
I have, I call it my five. Yes, moose smart.
37:17
Eat smart. Think smart, sleep smart and
37:22
share smart. But eat smart.
37:26
Real foods. Real foods only serve real foods
37:30
in in schools. Salmon.
37:33
At seven months you can't get a better school food for all ages
37:40
than a good old filet of salmon. Wow, sleep is another big one.
37:49
Children don't sleep as well nowadays, so I'll spend a minute
37:56
or so on sleep. What people don't understand is
38:00
during sleep is when you make a lot of medicines.
38:05
See your body sleeps but your brain doesn't.
38:10
So picture when you fall off to sleep, army inside your brain is
38:16
called the glymphatic system. Glia cells are like trillions of
38:22
little microscopic cells and they're what we call the house
38:27
cleaners and their job is brainwashing.
38:32
So during sleep is brainwashing. So during quality sleep is when
38:37
the glia cells come around and detox the brain.
38:41
Finally, what you want to remember and then dumping all
38:45
the junk in the lymphatic system, the rivers of the brain,
38:51
and you get rid of it, say. So you wake up called refreshed.
38:56
Refreshed is a wonderful word. And then you start the day
39:01
refreshed at work or school. But if you don't sleep well, you
39:08
don't have that brainwashing at night and so you don't learn as
39:12
well during the day. So sleeping our sleep thing,
39:18
first of all, the more you move during the day, the better you
39:22
sleep at night. It makes sense that the body
39:24
says, oh, you wore me out during the day.
39:26
I'm going to rest at night. So move more during the day.
39:31
Start dimming the lights earlier in the evening.
39:36
No cell phones in the bedroom for children and teens before
39:46
you go to bed. We had a routine in our House of
39:52
lying down with the kids and saying a prayer, snuggling
39:55
before you go to bed. So you'd snuggle up on the bed
39:58
and say prayers. How sweet.
40:00
And praying off to sleep. And I still remember our son.
40:05
You remember Doctor Jim? You mentioned him.
40:08
See, and also parenting is modeling with big families,
40:12
especially like you're having the older kids are learning how
40:16
to take care of the younger kids.
40:19
And I remember one time Martha and I were in the living room
40:22
when we heard our our baby Aaron crying from our bedroom.
40:28
And so we get up and we walk to the bedroom and as we almost in
40:31
the bedroom, her crying stopped. And we look in the bedroom and
40:35
there's Jim. I think he was like 1012 years
40:40
old. There's Jim being a father.
40:45
He's nurturing Aaron and he's rubbing her.
40:48
He's turned off the sleep. And we're standing there saying,
40:52
oh, wow, thank you, God. And so that's another thing why
40:59
I celebrate your big family, you know that the older you're
41:04
modeling parenting for the older children and they pick it up
41:10
children, you'd be surprised what they learn.
41:13
Their lies and brain are always on their parents learning for
41:18
things. It's such a good point.
41:21
I mean, we've got the oldest is five, but already, oh, you know,
41:25
Gigi's crying. Oh, come here, girly.
41:27
Like he's already trying to nurture our little littlest 1
41:32
and he's just five. Yeah, you're right.
41:35
Now you own that and that's how we learned about attachment
41:39
parenting a bit. We would go to playgrounds and
41:44
watch how things happen. Say a little 3 year old falls
41:49
and scrapes his knee and starts crying.
41:53
The attachment parented kids are the first ones over to console
41:58
that child because they learn sensitivity.
42:04
When children cry, adults listen.
42:09
And so we noticed that in our family too.
42:11
And and you what you just mentioned that the older ones
42:14
are more sensitive to the needs of the younger ones.
42:18
Very beautiful yeah, you I want I don't want to lose some of
42:22
your acronym or I don't know if it's an acronym, but the five
42:25
points of the toolbox. I love the framing that you
42:27
would use. So eat well.
42:29
I think if you want to see if I can, let's see if I can
42:31
remember. Let's see if I I'm retaining
42:33
what you're doing, what you're laying down here.
42:35
So you talked about eating well. We we talked about sleeping
42:38
well. We already did that.
42:39
We talked about moving well. You had share well was one of
42:43
them, which we haven't done and. Then sleep well and think well.
42:49
Think. Well, tell it me more about
42:50
share and think. OK, sharing, we'll get into the
42:53
thinking goes into sharing. See today's top epidemic of all
43:02
ages, brain problems, brain problems at all ages.
43:10
And it's interesting. And if you go to one of the
43:15
things doctors talk about it meaning for the first time in
43:19
history, cerebral vascular problems are more serious than
43:26
cardiovascular problems. In other words, the brain is now
43:30
sicker than the heart now, but the good news is the brain is
43:37
the one that's easiest to repair and prevent.
43:43
And So what I do in in in my office too, is I, I have an
43:50
website. We have what we call healthy
43:52
reminders. These are cute little things
43:55
that that I give my patients. You can go on our website.
43:57
We have about 50 of them. There were things to post all
44:01
over your house like feel God, feel good, go outside and play
44:09
have your major medicines today. But but one of those is where
44:14
attention flows, brain tissue grows.
44:19
Where attention flows, brain tissue grows.
44:24
In fact, it's funny, sometimes my patients will bring their mom
44:28
and dad in. So the older side, they're just
44:32
big kids anyway. So I said, welcome to the
44:34
pediatric office. They're just big kids, but they
44:37
bring them in for brain stuff usually.
44:39
And I'll say, well, OK, this is the key, the one, the simplest
44:46
key to brain health, where attention flows, brain tissue
44:50
grows. So I want you to picture that
44:53
you have in your brain a happy center and a sad center.
45:00
We want to grow your happy center and shrink your sad
45:03
center. And so I want you to practice
45:08
for the next week only happy thoughts only has soon as a Oh
45:13
my gosh. Just get advice my bank.
45:15
Account slow. Oh my gosh, I go oh, this bill
45:18
Oh my gosh, I'm late for Oh my God.
45:19
Oh, try spin happy thoughts. Try that.
45:23
Only happy thoughts. Only happy thoughts.
45:27
And then I give my little the the the teenagers love this one.
45:33
I give them my playlist. I say no.
45:37
Do you have a playlist on your cell phone or something?
45:39
Like, yeah, my favorite tunes. I say, OK, I want you to develop
45:45
five of your greatest memories in your whole life.
45:50
Greatest memories, your senior prom, your first formal, your
45:55
first date, your score, a winning goal or something like
45:59
that. And put the pictures on your
46:02
cell phone and then file them in your mind.
46:06
Follow those those things and as soon as a toxic thought comes
46:11
like dump by a date or something, something toxic comes
46:15
to your mind Playlist playlist see so the brain gets used to
46:24
reading out toxic thoughts and great growing your file cabinet
46:31
of happy thoughts. And I I have my playlist is I
46:36
have pictures of the day I met Martha.
46:40
She was a nurse and I was a doctor, a poor medical student
46:46
at the time and I met we met on the first day she was at the
46:51
house. So I have a picture of her as a
46:52
nurse have a picture of us walking down the aisle.
46:58
I have a picture of our kiss right after we were married in
47:02
the car there kiss. And so as soon as IA toxic
47:08
thought comes, I playlist. I picture my mind meeting
47:13
Martha, marrying Martha, that type of thing.
47:18
And that's just a simple exercise.
47:20
See and today's kids and parents, they don't have time
47:26
for three to four months of cognitive behavioral therapy.
47:31
It works and it's good, but they just say to me, Doctor Bill,
47:35
give me a tool, give me something I can do fast.
47:39
I want to feel better fast. So that's how I came up with the
47:43
the playlist and to explain that why about the tension flows.
47:48
I love that it. Sounds so easy to use because
47:51
you cannot. You could ask the child what's
47:53
your happy like? What made you feel so happy
47:56
recently? Or did you feel happy when you
47:58
know you blew out the candles and your birthday cake, or you
48:01
know your cousins came over or whatever The thing is, and then
48:03
you're helping them identify that as the happy thought?
48:07
Then they can return to it. That's right, yeah.
48:10
What a wonderful. Tool and see this is this is a
48:13
toolbox. These are things that parents
48:16
can teach their children. The toolbox and then part of the
48:24
brain. There's a whole science coming
48:27
out now called neurotheology. Neurotheology, and that means
48:36
the closer you are to God, the happier your brain.
48:41
And for example, I was, I was having lunch yesterday with the
48:47
Alzheimer's expert Vince. And I said, Vince, what do you
48:53
notice? Do you notice any difference
48:55
between the patients you see in your office who are spiritual,
49:00
who are close to God and all his?
49:02
Oh, absolutely, he said. Bill.
49:05
This is a new science called neurotheology.
49:08
What we and other neurologists are noticing is the closer a
49:14
person is to God, the happier and healthier they tend to be.
49:25
So This is why we teach parents early on, build that little God
49:30
center, you know, start, you know, babies talk about God when
49:36
babies in the womb talk about God when babies are six months,
49:40
you know, through three months. So maybe their first word, they
49:43
hear God all the time, God. So they say Mama, Dada, Gaga,
49:47
maybe something like God, they hear God.
49:50
And they I tell moms that just sing a lot.
49:55
Singing is one of the biggest words in the Bible.
49:58
And I say let your kids watch you sing.
50:04
They say keep your mind on God. Keep your mind on God.
50:10
A hum. Teach your kids the hum.
50:14
It's called hum singing science made simple.
50:23
When you hum, you cause vibrations to go up into your
50:28
brain and you turn on your feel good center.
50:33
See, so the kids say, mommy, why are you humming all the time?
50:36
And you explain to them it feels good, feels good.
50:41
Or teach me, Mommy, I want to feel good.
50:43
And I I keep coming back to that term feel good like that's the
50:47
title of our newest book because that's what kids tell me when I
50:53
ask them in the office, like teenagers say, what do you want?
50:57
They don't say, I want to be healthy.
50:59
They said Doctor Bell, I just want to feel good.
51:02
So that's why I use the term feel good and feel better much a
51:06
lot. I'm crying.
51:09
That's so beautifully said. And it's such a the wealth of
51:15
knowledge that you have, Dr. Sears, and it's so practical,
51:19
but we're so rushed. I guess today, I don't know what
51:23
it is distracted, but taking a moment to just sing with your
51:26
kids, hum with your kids, God is good, life is good.
51:32
You think that's really that can heal people?
51:35
I mean it. Can heal people.
51:37
Yeah, exactly. So your, your immune system
51:40
inside, you know, we are blessed with our army inside you and I.
51:47
You have an army. I have.
51:48
We have an army of trillions of little fighters, NK cells,
51:54
natural killer cells and others. But the brain is the CEO of your
52:02
immune system. And the brain sends text
52:06
messages all day long, day and night to the immune system.
52:14
And the brain says you fight. You go fight those germs, you go
52:20
fight those toxic thoughts. You go fight all that and the
52:25
the immune system sends text messages from the gut.
52:30
The gut is where most of it is up the biggest nerve in the body
52:34
called the vagus nerve into the brain and there's send a text of
52:38
it. She says, OK brain, we'll do our
52:41
job down here, but don't stress us out because immune system
52:46
doesn't like stress. When you're better up here,
52:50
we'll fight better for you. So that's why we try to help
52:55
kids develop a stronger immune system at all ages.
53:01
It's. Amazing.
53:03
Yeah. I love the the explanation
53:05
you're giving is such a beautiful one.
53:08
It's so simple. I I know.
53:10
I don't know if you're saying this before the interview,
53:11
before we started filming, or after, but you explain things to
53:14
be remembered and you're you're, you're giving us a easel like
53:19
the cheat code again for how to think about these things.
53:22
It's wonderful. It's really your work again,
53:23
your work. I can't say how wonderful I
53:25
think it is. The last one was Sharewell.
53:29
Sharewell friendships young teenagers and I love teenagers,
53:39
but before we get into teenagers, I I'll mention
53:42
there's a kind of a little philosophy traitor going around
53:46
there called freethinkers. Freethinkers.
53:50
And I had, for example, a patient in my office.
53:54
So I came in and for counseling a 15 year old and the mom I'm
54:00
constantly and I start sometimes I'll start.
54:02
We'll say, well, tell me, tell me, Joe, how's your relationship
54:07
with God? And then this mom later said to
54:13
me, well, Doctor Bill, we, we want him to be a free thinker.
54:20
We want him to make up his mind about God when he's, you know,
54:24
15 or 20. We just want him to be a free
54:27
thinker right now. And this mom, sometimes you say
54:32
things you wish you, maybe you didn't.
54:34
But I say, well, please don't be offended by what I'm about to
54:37
say. But what you said about free
54:39
thinking reminds me of one of my favorite movie titles, Dumb and
54:44
Dumber. But you like that I said a
54:49
child's brain grows most in the first five years, triples in
54:58
size, grows 90% the first five years, almost fully grown by 15.
55:07
So you plant the seeds in the brain garden, your child's the
55:12
greatest garden ever grown into your child's brain.
55:15
You plant seeds when the ground is most fertile.
55:19
So that's when you teach your child about God and you teach
55:24
your child about things you want them to remember, like you
55:27
mentioned. And then it was sharing, share
55:30
smart, picking friends wisely because teenagers are very
55:37
sensitive. Oh, I didn't get invited to that
55:39
party. And I feel I'll see kids with
55:45
counseling and moms will say, oh, she's so sensitive, really.
55:52
And I say good sensitivity is a gift.
55:59
What we need now is more sensitive people.
56:03
Sensitivity means that she understands right and wrong, and
56:09
she feels bad when it's wrong and she feels good when it's
56:14
right. Celebrate her sensitivity.
56:18
But we want to channel a little bit.
56:20
So I'll teach the children. I'll teach the teenager.
56:22
Now you know you have that gift of sensitivity.
56:26
You may have fewer friends, but you'll have better friends.
56:32
See, because you're sensitive. Don't be bothered if you're not
56:35
invited by a party. Don't be bothered if you're
56:39
dumped by a date or so. That's their problem.
56:42
OK, but celebrate your sensitivity.
56:46
That's a gift, especially for mothers.
56:49
Mothers are beautifully sensitive.
56:56
I love that. Thank you.
56:57
Dr. Sears, is there any other thoughts you have on this topic
57:01
of safeguarding kids against the toxicity?
57:06
I mean, those, the ones you've shared already are phenomenal.
57:08
Any other things that you would add to to that?
57:10
You know, I, I think since your audience is not a lot of moms,
57:14
is that right? That's right.
57:16
Well, and aspiring moms, Yeah. We have moms and I love moms and
57:22
that's why we developed the seven tools of attachment
57:25
parenting, which is really the groundwork of discipline and all
57:29
that. But birth bonding, the seven BS,
57:33
we call it birth bonding, breastfeeding, baby wearing,
57:39
belief in the baby's cries, bedding close to baby, Beware of
57:46
baby trainers. You know the lamb McCoy out
57:48
crowd. But the last one is balance.
57:51
Balance. And here's what I find a lot of
57:56
moms need the most help with. For example, Martha, my dear
58:02
wife, that the queen of attachment parenting, she one
58:06
day she said to me, this was kid with kid number six.
58:10
I think you think she'd know better by kid #6 So she says to
58:14
me, honey, I don't have to. I don't even have time to take a
58:21
shower. My baby needs me so much.
58:25
I don't have time to take a shower.
58:27
And I see early burnout written on her face.
58:33
So I've got to be a father and a husband, I say.
58:38
And so I made this big sign. I put it on the bathroom mirror
58:42
that she sees. It says what our baby needs most
58:48
is a happy, rested mother. What our baby needs most is a
58:55
happy, rested mother. You rest, you take a shower, you
59:01
do what you need. I will take care of the baby
59:05
today. So I'm stuck because men don't
59:12
have the tools that women have. We don't have the 2 greatest
59:18
pacifiers in the world. But I thought, wait, I don't, I
59:24
don't think. I don't think that way.
59:27
Think right. What do men have that women
59:31
don't? We have a hairy chest and babies
59:35
like that. They pull hair and they like to.
59:38
We have a deeper voice and for some babies, the deeper male
59:43
voice is more, more calming, is a little more monotonous and
59:51
calming. And so I developed what I call
59:55
the neck Nestle. I would put baby Steven in my
1:00:01
neck like this and and I would drape my my cheek on my jaw over
1:00:09
his skull. And babies here with the
1:00:11
vibration of their skull bones in addition to the ears.
1:00:15
So I would think to him, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep,
1:00:21
my little baby, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep, my little
1:00:29
boy, you know, and I was asleep sometimes, but I'm going to
1:00:34
sleep. But.
1:00:36
I realize that. Wow, you know I can father
1:00:40
nurse. Nursing means comforting all
1:00:44
this converse character was converse.
1:00:48
So that was balance know when and and you know, our kids
1:00:53
remember that to this day. They said, you know, dad, what
1:00:59
we remember is that your mom always took time for yourself.
1:01:06
Our kids were kind of a handful. Doctor Bob used that term.
1:01:10
Our kids were a handful, but we remember that you took one night
1:01:15
a week for a dinner for two by the fireplace and sometimes we
1:01:21
would crawl up behind you for night.
1:01:24
But kids remember that. And again, that's the toolbox.
1:01:29
You mentioned a parenting is giving your children the tools
1:01:34
to succeed in life. And so I hope our, our your
1:01:38
listeners, I hope we've given them tools, take home tools
1:01:42
today. Absolutely.
1:01:45
You've already helped me just listening here.
1:01:47
This is I love doing these podcasts because I get to talk
1:01:49
to people that I learn from personally and then share it
1:01:52
with everybody listening. I know in your body of work,
1:01:56
we've only scratched the surface.
1:01:58
I know there's other topics like attachment, parenting,
1:02:00
discipline that I hope we can get into.
1:02:02
So if you're willing to come back, we'd love to have you
1:02:05
back. But thank you for speaking to
1:02:08
the health crisis, because that's, I think top of mind for
1:02:11
most moms right now. And just the practical things
1:02:14
that mothers can do and dads can do.
1:02:16
And you know aunts and uncles can help you know, their, their,
1:02:19
their loved ones do to to get our kids as healthy as possible.
1:02:22
Thank you. I'd be honored to come back and
1:02:25
and parents are the answer to the health crisis.
1:02:29
They really are. Parenting is the answer to the
1:02:31
health crisis. What are some I know there's Ask
1:02:35
Doctor sears.com. Are there any other resources
1:02:38

1:02:41

1:03:45
the brain. How the brain develops.
1:03:48
We take parents into how the garden, how you grow a garden
1:03:52
and why the brain is a garden and how the brain of a child
1:03:56
grows. You're growing a garden and what
1:03:59
you need to grow a garden. You need to feed it, water it,
1:04:03
fertilize it, keep the weeds out, all that see so and they're
1:04:09
feel good book fun. Every page has a funny picture
1:04:13

1:04:17
It's not what you and I say is how much your guests remember
1:04:24
and are motivated to change. So the feel good book, the
1:04:27
healthy brain book, we have our weight control book.
1:04:31
We call it waste to management called Dr. Sears T55 changes in
1:04:40
five weeks to help you get lean. Leans are big word lean does not
1:04:45
mean skinny. Lean just means having the right
1:04:48
amount of muscle, bone and body fat for your individual body
1:04:53
type. And we go into loving your body,
1:04:59
