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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
