  • The Most Informative

    I am so grateful to have found not only the Instagram account, but the podcast Well Considered, from Just the Inserts. The way Alexandra so carefully & intentionally has guests of various backgrounds & experiences to speak on, the incredibly well chosen questions she uses to interview, and the wealth of information she, and all her guests have, are what keep me coming back. When you first start down the path of pursuing true informed consent, it’s so very overwhelming to know what & where to fin... more

  • Phenomenal, objective and for anyone that values informed consent

    Perfect for anyone who values informed consent. This podcast and Just the Inserts have both become such great resources in my parenting journey. It’s unfortunate that healthcare topics and conversations can be so polarizing. As a nurse for over a decade, I’m a bit ashamed to say that it took me far too long to recognize the rhetoric and reflect on just how little we learned about certain pharmaceuticals, particularly vaccines. And after becoming a parent, I struggled with how little information ... more

  • Super helpful!

    It’s so nice to have such a grounded approach to informed consent! My only note is more technical - whatever editing that’s being used to take out any spacing or natural breath when talking is very distracting. I know it’s an internet styling but it makes it difficult to fully hear and process this super valuable information. Not a deal breaker by any stretch, just something I wanted to share in case anyone else feels similarly. BUT thank you so much for all your focus and work on these topics!!... more

Ep 61 | Exploring the Science Behind Frequency Functional Medicine with Dr. Charlie
Q: Could you explain how muscle testing works and why it isn't simply a voodoo tool?
Muscle testing is a neurological tool used to gauge the nervous system's adaptivity to various stressors; its value lies in the clinician's experience, patient history, and careful interpretation rather than any mystical certainty.
Ep 60 | Why Some Pediatricians Are Rethinking Care and What They’re Building Instead with Dr. Jacki Burnett

Ep 60 | Why Some Pediatricians Are Rethinking Care and What They’re Building Instead with Dr. Jacki Burnett
Q: What are the most common questions you get from families, and how do you approach those conversations, especially around vaccines?
The top questions are about vaccines, then poop, then general little health concerns; the approach centers on informed consent, shared decision-making, and presenting complete information so families can decide for themselves.
