Description
In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with pediatrician Dr. Joel Gator Warsh to confront the most concerning trends in children's health. Dr. Warsh, author of A Shot and a Hard Place, reveals the staggering rise of chronic disease and autism in children, arguing that it's a crisis that demands a deeper, more open conversation.
This is a brave and necessary discussion that moves beyond political rhetoric and into the science. Dr. Warsh, an epidemiologist, offers a candid perspective on the vaccine debate, challenging the notion that the "science is settled." He reveals the surprising truth about what research has and hasn't been done on the long-term effects of the cumulative vaccine schedule.
This episode is a must-listen for any parent who wants to be empowered with the knowledge to make informed decisions for their family and understand the true impact of our food system, environmental exposures, and sedentary lifestyles on the next generation.
