Vaccines & Kids: How to Make Informed Decisions Without the Fear with Dr. Joel Gator Warsh | Ep. 116

---

What if there was a way to make informed, confident decisions without the fear or judgment?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh, a board certified integrative pediatrician, to talk about vaccines, open communication with your doctor, and how to approach these conversations from a place of curiosity rather than fear. We talk through what it really means to practice integrative medicine, how to assess risk vs. benefit, and what parents can do to feel empowered when making decisions about their child’s health.

We dive into:
– Why vaccines have become such a polarizing topic
– What “integrative medicine” means and how it applies to vaccine discussions
– Why open conversation with your doctor matters
– How to approach your pediatrician with questions about vaccines
– Vaccine schedules and individualized options
– Understanding how vaccine studies work
– What to know about safety, risk, and transparency
– Supporting your child’s body before and after vaccination
– The difference between fear-based and informed decision making
– Building collaborative, respectful relationships with your healthcare providers
