"Polly Tommey is joined by Dr. Brian Hooker to discuss RFK Jr.’s recent viral interview and the subsequent media pushback. They examine claims around the MMR vaccine, reported measles versus vaccine-related deaths, COVID vaccine safety data (including myocarditis rates in adolescents), autism research, conflicts of interest in studies, and Hooker’s vaxxed/unvaxxed paper (with Neil Miller).

Next, Isabella Yon, M.S. of Mothers 2B joins for a Back-to-School segment on the risks of typical cafeteria food, processed items, seed oils, refined carbs, glyphosate, pesticides, and heavy metals found in independent testing of school lunches. She shares practical, affordable strategies for packing balanced, whole-food lunchboxes (protein + fat + fiber + produce), ideas for picky eaters, drinks, birthday treats, and educating kids about nutrition.

Then, Holistic veterinarian Marcie Fallek, DVM addresses the push for Ozempic-style drugs in cats and dogs, questions exaggerated pet-obesity statistics, and links many chronic conditions (joint disease, heart issues, diabetes) to vaccines, steroids, and other pharmaceuticals rather than diet alone."
