In this episode of the Early-Momming Podcast, Hillary sits down with Dr. Joel Gator—a board-certified pediatrician and integrative medicine expert—for a powerful, no-agenda conversation about vaccines, informed consent, and trusting your gut as a mom.
Join Hillary and Dr. Gator as they discuss:
– What informed consent really means—and why it matters in pediatric care
– How to have collaborative, non-confrontational conversations with your child's doctor
– Why it's so hard to find balanced, evidence-based vaccine education
– Specifics around vaccines like Hepatitis B and RSV (what's helpful to know before you're in the exam room)
– How integrative pediatrics bridges the gap between evidence and intuition
– The importance of listening to your instincts, even in the face of medical pressure
This conversation is honest, respectful, and centered on one thing: empowering parents with clarity and confidence.
