Episode Description

From ultra-processed foods and pesticides to environmental toxins, pharmaceuticals, and chronic disease, it can feel overwhelming to try to make sense of it all - - - especially when our health “authorities” seem to continuously change their minds about what’s good for us and what’s killing us - - - and everything seems to be poison now.

In this eye-opening conversation, Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, sits down with veteran pediatrician, integrative physician, author, speaker, and health freedom fighter, and author Dr. Michelle Perro, MD, DHom, to discuss one of the biggest questions of today: How do we pursue true health in an increasingly toxic world?

Drawing from more than four decades of clinical experience, Dr. Perro shares her perspective on the growing health challenges affecting children and adults alike, why so many people are searching for answers outside conventional approaches, and what practical steps individuals can take to reclaim their health.

Together, Jamie and Michelle dive into topics including:

• What's making our children sick and how we can begin making them well

• Glyphosate, GMOs, fluoride, and environmental toxic burden• The MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement and why it continues to gain momentum

• Why curiosity is one of the most important skills we can develop in today's world

• The importance of critical thinking and informed decision-making

• Finding trustworthy health information in an age of information overload

• Lyme disease, chronic illness, and environmental health concerns

• The role of food as the foundation of physical and mental wellness

• Transhumanism, AI, technology, and the future of human health

• Why community matters when pursuing a different path toward wellness

• How young people can become empowered advocates for their own health

• Why the choices we make today may impact future generations

This conversation is a reminder that lasting change starts with paying attention. Asking questions. Staying curious. Learning to think critically. And taking ownership of the choices that shape your health and the future health of those around you.

Dr. Michelle Perro is a veteran pediatrician with more than 40 years of clinical experience caring for children and families. Formerly an attending physician at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland, she has treated tens of thousands of patients throughout her career and has become a leading voice in children's environmental health.

She is the founder and CEO of GMOScience and the co-author of the bestselling books What's Making Our Children Sick? and Making Our Children Well. Her work focuses on the connection between modern food systems, environmental exposures, chronic illness, and the long-term health of future generations. Dr. Perro regularly speaks internationally, educating parents, healthcare professionals, and communities about nutrition, environmental medicine, and informed healthcare choices.
