Are we raising our kids on poison without even realizing it?
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jeffrey Barke, a board-certified family medicine physician with over 30 years of experience who runs a concierge-style practice in Orange County, California. He combines holistic and allopathic care and focuses on personalized treatment plans and informed consent.
We talk about his realization that much of what he learned in medical school didn’t align with what he now practices, the moment that shifted his view on vaccines, and how he began relearning medicine to help patients take charge of their own health. We also get into the guilt parents feel when they question past choices, what he recommends to support kids’ detox pathways, and why informed consent is central to every decision.
