I’m so excited to share this podcast interview I did with Dr. Ben Lynch on vaccines! This is a hot topic these days and something I often get asked to discuss. Dr. Lynch has experienced the effects of vaccines first hand in patients and has interviewed some of the leading doctors and researchers on vaccines. This isn’t meant to be an anti-vaccine podcast but an educational podcast. The goal is to arm you as a parent or guardian with the information to make an informed choice for you and your family. Often vaccines are treated as a cookie cutter approach for everyone, but unfortunately every body is different. In this podcast, Dr. Lynch and I discuss vaccines that should be avoided considering the research, events that put children at risk for developing autism or spectrum disorders post vaccination, if those with MTHFR should avoid vaccinations, what HERD Immunity is and SO much more. You don’t want to miss this podcast! It’s packed full of relevant information. Plus, Dr. Lynch shares his top resources for further education on vaccines.

Vaccine Course: Learn how immunity changes with age, how our bodies respond differently to infections vs. vaccinations and how our brains are affected by vaccinations. Check it out here!

This is my first time on your site, and I came here for a different podcast. My stomach turned when I saw this podcast. After researching this thoroughly through medical studies for the past 2 years, I get so weary of the complete ignorance that is constantly perpetuated. I didn’t even want to listen, but did anyway, and am so surprised. Thank you being courageous enough to put the truth out there. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this awesome podcast! I’m not a mother yet but want to have children in the next few years and I’m slowly learning more and more about how to protect myself and eventually my children and give them the best life possible. Understanding vaccines is a great start to understanding the best way you can protect your children from the very beginning. I love your podcasts, they are so informative. Keep them coming!
Thanks so much for listening Dani-means a ton! So awesome you are preparing now for the future-best thing you can do!
Thanks so much for sharing this Podcast! I’ve been on the hunt for an answer and this sort of cleared things up about MTHFR, but not completely. Dr. Paul Thomas, in the Vaccine Friendly Plan notes that if you as a parent, have a significant MTHFR variance or mutation you should wait until your child is at least 5 to vaccinate. The problem is that NO ONE seems to clarify what “significant” mutation means? How bad of a mutation is considered “significant?” Were you able to gather any insight about that in your interviews? Will you also do a Podcast with Dr. Paul Thomas? (that would be awesome BTW). I was hoping Dr. Lynch would give more detain on that in this Podcast, but no such luck, although he says MTHFR is one of 23,000 genes and not the end all be all, but if you live in a state where you can’t avoid vaccination, we need more clarity on MTHFR. Any information would be much appreciated as I have two children who are delayed vaxed but wondering if I need to stop wait longer as I have MTHFR mutations…. thanks for the help!!! Hoping you can help clear things up with all the work you put in…which is so GREAT.
Hi Melissa! Thanks for your comment. I am in no way a doctor and really can’t answer those questions for you. I’m currently not scheduled to do a podcast with Dr. Paul but possibly in the future. I can look into this and see what I find but it really comes down to a personal decision for you and your family and what is significant to you.
