#52: Vaccines from a Neurodevelopmental Perspective with Dr. Ari Calhoun

You asked, and we answered. Today on the podcast we have Dr. Ari Calhoun, a Naturopathic Doctor, and pediatric neurodevelopmental specialist, on to talk about vaccines from a brain development point of view. Our goal was to tease apart the tough decision-making parents either want or have to make for various reasons, and Dr. Ari shares an individualized approach that we wish all families received. Assessing risk factors for illness, as well as using other methods of risk mitigation, are important parts of this conversation. We discuss vaccination during pregnancy, the immune system's role in normal neurodevelopment, how the brain gets primed for inflammation, the problems with the current schedule and ways to optimize a delayed schedule, detox, autism, testing, measles, and more. Here we go!
