838. The Nuanced Vaccine Conversation Every Parent Deserves with Dr. Joel Warsh
Thursday, 22 January, 2026
In this episode, Lindsey sits down with pediatrician Dr. Joel Warsh a.k.a. Dr. Gator, author of Between a Shot and a Hard Place, for the conversation every mom needs to hear. Get an honest look at vaccine safety, parental autonomy, and trusting your intuition in a world of conflicting advice. Ahead, Lindsey + Dr. Gator dive into the chronic illness epidemic—exploring everything from the long-term effects of vaccines to the rise in allergies, autism, and autoimmune conditions in kids today. You’ll learn why asking questions isn’t “woo-woo”—it’s essential to make informed choices. If you’ve ever felt judged for going “off schedule” or considered an alternative vaccine approach, this episode brings nuance, compassion, and real data. From toxic ingredients to finding the right doctor, don’t miss this must-listen for parents who care about wellness, safety, and sovereignty. We also talk about: The real reasons vaccine schedules have skyrocketed in recent decades What ingredients in vaccines could mean for your child’s health Why most doctors won’t see families who want alternative vaccine schedules—and what to do about it Debunking the “safe and effective” narrative + what parents actually want to know The myth vs. reality of vaccine injury reporting (VAERS) + what gets missed Pros + cons of delaying or spacing out vaccines—and how to weigh the risks The truth about Hepatitis B at birth, polio, and why some shots might be less urgent than you think Autism, MMR, and the data gaps that you need to hear about Finding “your people” as a parent when conversations around vaccines feel taboo Empowerment tips on trusting your gut, advocating for your child, and demanding better research Resources: Instagram: @drjoelgator X: @drjoelgator Book: www.theshotbook.com Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.
