Digital Wellbeing & Raising Resilient Kids with Dr Sajita Setia

Digital Wellbeing & Raising Resilient Kids with Dr Sajita Setia

How do we raise healthy, resilient children in an age dominated by smartphones, social media and artificial intelligence? In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr Ron Ehrlich is joined by Dr Sajita Setia, a physician, researcher and advocate for digital wellbeing. Together they explore the growing evidence linking excessive screen use with poor sleep, anxiety, depression, attention problems and declining family connection. Rather than advocating fear or blanket bans, Dr Setia encourages parents, educators and policymakers to prioritise education, compassionate conversations and healthy digital boundaries. She explains how simple lifestyle changes - such as removing devices from bedrooms, modelling healthy behaviour and spending intentional screen-free family time - can dramatically improve children's wellbeing. The discussion also explores AI, social media algorithms, gender differences in technology use, school responsibilities and practical steps every family can implement immediately. ◉ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:    Dr Sajita Setia is a physician with more than 20 years of medical experience and a researcher specialising in 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴❟ 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵.

Rebuilding Intimacy: Why Sexual Rehabilitation Belongs in Modern Medicine with Prof. Rafi Heruti

Sexual health is often treated as an optional conversation in medicine - but according to Professor Rafi Heruti, it should be considered a pillar of overall health. Drawing from decades of experience in rehabilitation medicine, Professor Heruti explains how spinal cord injuries, stroke, trauma, chronic illness and ageing affect not only physical function but also identity, relationships and emotional wellbeing. Dr Ron Ehrlich and Professor Heruti discuss the biopsychosocial model of healthcare, highlighting the interconnected roles of biology, psychology and relationships in sexual wellbeing. They examine hormone health, cardiovascular disease, medications, mental health, lifestyle, ageing, communication and intimacy while challenging common misconceptions surrounding sexuality. The conversation also explores Professor Heruti's work in Paralympic sport, illustrating the extraordinary resilience and adaptability of the human spirit, before concluding with powerful reflections on living a healthier, more balanced life. ◉ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:    Professor Rafi (Raphael) Heruti is an internationally respected specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, with particular expertise in sexual rehabilitation, spinal cord injury rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation and disability medicine. He is affiliated with Tel Aviv University and has held senior leadership positions at rehabilitation hospitals in Israel, where he has pioneered multidisciplinary approaches to sexual rehabilitation following injury, trauma and chronic illness. Professor Heruti is also internationally recognised within the Paralympic Movement, serving as a medical classifier for Paralympic athletes and contributing extensively to disability sport worldwide. His work promotes a holistic biopsychosocial approach to rehabilitation that integrates physical recovery, psychological wellbeing and healthy relationships.

Paradigm Shifts in Women’s Health and PCOS with Dr. Jim Parker

Dr. Ron Ehrlich welcomes back Associate Professor Dr. Jim Parker to explore emerging paradigm shifts in healthcare, focusing primarily on women's reproductive and metabolic health. Dr. Parker applies Thomas Kuhn’s cycle of scientific revolutions to modern medicine, explaining how traditional systems are failing by treating symptoms rather than maintaining optimal physiology.   The conversation spans the evolutionary roots of PCOS, the critical impact of maternal lifestyle ("the soil") on pregnancy outcomes ("the seed"), and a call to action for measuring fasting insulin over glucose to combat the global metabolic health crisis.    ◉ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:    Dr. Jim Parker is an obstetrician and gynecologist with over 30 to 40 years of clinical experience, having delivered thousands of babies and performed thousands of gynecological procedures. After stepping away from active clinical practice, he transitioned into research and academia. He currently serves as an academic and researcher at the University of Wollongong and has been a prominent lecturer at the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM). His work focuses on evolutionary models of disease, lifestyle medicine, and translational research. * Featured Research Papers: Evolutionary Model of PCOS, Insulin-Centric Model of Metabolic Dysfunction   ◉ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 ✔️How Thomas Kuhn’s cycle explains the resistance to new medical paradigms. ✔️Why PCOS should be classified as an evolutionary survival mechanism rather than a disease. ✔️The profound connection between maternal lifestyle, visceral fat, and severe pregnancy complications like pre-eclampsia. ✔️How to independently audit your own metabolic health using five basic physical and blood markers. ✔️The dangers of the traditional glucose-centric diagnostic model and why fasting insulin is the true marker to watch.   * 0:03 – Dr. Jim Parker & PCOS overview * 4:39 – Keyhole surgery & paradigm shifts * 9:29 – Why lifestyle medicine isn't implemented * 14:59 – PCOS as an evolutionary survival mechanism * 19:24 – PCOS diagnosis & proposed name change * 22:00 – The "Seed and Soil" model of pregnancy health * 32:00 – Whole-food diets & lower eclampsia rates * 35:30 – The failure of the glucose-centric health model * 41:36 – 5 at-home metabolic health markers * 46:57 – Why track hs-CRP & fasting insulin * 51:13 – Oral/gut microbiome & inflammation * 1:02:38 – Translational medicine vs. repetitive research ✍️ 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 & 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 Explore More Health & Wellness Solutions: * Visit Dr. Ron Ehrlich’s Website: https://drronehrlich.com/ * Podcast Archives, Q&As, and Expert Resources   📱 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗗𝗿｡ 𝗥𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗵𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗵      🌐 Website: (drronehrlich.com)      📘 Facebook: (facebook.com/Doctor.Ron.Ehrlich)      📸 Instagram: (@drronehrlich)      🐦 Twitter: (/doctor.ron.ehrlich)      📶 LinkedIn: (/dr-ron-ehrlich/)      ▶️ YouTube: (@doctorronehrlich)      🎥 TikTok: (@drronehrlich)      🎧 Spotify: (https://shorturl.at/JqK9h)      💽 Omny: (https://omny.fm/shows/unstress-with-dr-ron-ehrlich)   📗 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: 𝘈 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘓𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 ◐ Australia (https://amzn.to/3Ug4iCK) ◐ US (https://amzn.to/3Nlx3vR) ◐ UK (https://amzn.to/3WgPUMx)   🔒 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 ◑ Join Here (https://bit.ly/3epjFcO) ◑ More Info (https://bit.ly/3RIubcN)   🎧 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀: ❏ Apple Podcasts: (https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/unstress-with-dr-ron-ehrlich/id13337959190) ❏ All Episodes: ( https://drronehrlich.com/podcasts/) [https://drronehrlich.com/podcasts/)]   👉 Join the 𝘜𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 community and transform stress into strength.

The Epigenetic Reset, Gut Microbiome & How to Build Healthier Future Generations with Donna Gates

Donna Gates discusses her recovery journey from Long COVID and Lyme disease, which inspired deeper exploration into epigenetics and human development. She explains how epigenetic tags inherited from parents are erased shortly after conception, creating a powerful opportunity for prospective parents to optimize health before pregnancy. The conversation covers the microbiome's role in fertility, immune development, brain health, birth practices, methylation, mitochondrial function, and the importance of fermented foods. Dr. Ehrlich and Donna also discuss modern health challenges including infertility, autism trends, chronic inflammation, vaccine readiness, and the importance of supporting healthy microbiome development from conception through infancy.   ◉ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:    Donna Gates Donna Gates is an internationally recognized pioneer in digestive health, nutrition, probiotics, and the gut microbiome. She is the creator of the Body Ecology Diet and has spent over three decades educating people about the connection between gut health, immunity, longevity, and overall wellbeing. She introduced stevia and fermented foods to mainstream wellness audiences long before they became popular and is considered one of the early voices advocating microbiome-centered health.
