We’ve been told the science is settled, but what if we’re not asking the right questions?

In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe speaks with board-certified pediatrician Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh about how to approach medical decisions with curiosity, critical thinking, and compassion. Dr. Warsh shares his experience as a clinician, researcher, and parent—and why he believes open, balanced conversations are essential in healthcare today.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why conversations around children’s health have become so sensitive

How medical training shapes what pediatricians learn about immunization

What informed consent and transparency in healthcare really mean

How chronic illness trends in children raise important public health questions

Why some families explore alternative vaccine schedules

The importance of respectful dialogue over fear or censorship
