Today on The Livin’Sky Podcast, Lena sits down with Beth Lambert - author, educator, and founder of the nonprofit Documenting Hope, for a powerful conversation about the modern childhood health crisis, and how families can begin to reverse it.

For over 15 years, Beth has documented the rising rates of chronic illness and developmental challenges in children, asking one essential question: Why are so many kids sick and what can we do about it?

In this eye-opening episode, Lena and Beth explore how our environment, food, lifestyle, and even invisible stressors like Wi-Fi and light pollution shape our kids’ biology. They share hopeful, practical ways parents can start reducing “total load”, the cumulative stressors that overwhelm our children’s bodies and begin creating healthier, calmer homes.

Together, they discuss:

• The real reasons childhood chronic illness has exploded in recent decades
• What the Documenting Hope Project and CHIRP Study are revealing about root causes
• Why behavior-based therapies like ABA often miss the mark
• The biological connections between picky eating, sensory issues, and chronic illness
• The link between environmental toxins, antibiotics, and microbiome imbalance
• Actionable, low-cost ways to reduce chemical, emotional, and EMF stress at home
• Why your own nervous system regulation might be the most powerful healing tool of all

This is one of those conversations every parent needs to hear, full of science, compassion, and practical hope for a generation of children who deserve better.
