Are your kids always exhausted — even after a full night's sleep? In this episode of The Holistic Kids Show, hosts Zane, Maz, and Carson sit down with world-renowned fatigue and long COVID expert Dr. Evan Hirsch, founder and CEO of the International Center for Fatigue, to uncover why so many kids (and adults) are struggling with chronic tiredness — and what to do about it.

Dr. Hirsch shares his personal journey from burned-out conventional doctor to holistic fatigue specialist, including his own battle with chronic fatigue syndrome. He breaks down his signature "Toxic Five" — heavy metals, mold, chemicals, chronic infections, and stress/trauma — and explains how these hidden culprits silently drain your energy from the inside out.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why kids today are more tired than ever (and it's not just screen time)
• What's really happening inside your cells when you feel constantly exhausted
• How trauma — even generational trauma — affects your energy levels
• Warning signs that your fatigue needs a doctor's attention
• Dr. Hirsch's simple 4-step method to restore energy naturally
• The #1 thing any kid, teen, or parent can do right now to feel better

Simple daily habits covered:

• Start your morning with a liter of filtered water
• Build a daily gratitude practice
• Prioritize 7–9 hours of sleep and get off your phone at night

Whether you're a kid feeling drained, a teen burning the candle at both ends, or a parent trying to help your child thrive — this episode is packed with practical, digestible advice.
