How do you make informed decisions about vaccines when it comes to your child’s health and development?
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ari Calhoun, a naturopathic doctor and pediatric neurodevelopmental specialist, to explore vaccines through the lens of brain development and individualized care.
We discuss how the immune system interacts with neurodevelopment, what factors may influence how a child responds, and why a one-size-fits-all approach may not work for every family. This conversation also covers considerations around vaccination during pregnancy, understanding risk factors, and exploring different approaches to timing and scheduling.
Our goal is to open up a thoughtful and nuanced discussion so parents can better understand their options and feel more confident making decisions that align with their values and their child’s unique needs.
If you are navigating questions around vaccines, child development, and personalized healthcare, this episode will give you a broader perspective to think through these decisions.
