Dr. Carole Keim welcomes Dr. David Tusek, board-certified Family Physician and Founder of Cloud Medical, to the show to discuss early childhood development and the good habits that set children up for life. Dr. Tusek identifies the five pillars of health and discusses personalized and preventive childhood medicine with Dr. Keim. The conversation explores modern habits and their impact on children, the critical role of parents, and the idea of introducing a whole-person health framework into children’s growth to ensure emotional and physical well-being.The five pillars of health identified by Dr. Tusek are hydration, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. He and Dr. Keim expand on each pillar, describing how sugar functions in nutrition, the glycemic index and its relation to prediabetes in children. The importance of movement and outdoor play is highlighted, especially as screens take priority in children’s lives, and they stress the need for better sleep hygiene. The conversation investigates how healthy whole-person habits can be fostered from a young age and how the right habits can help steer children away from chronic disease.
