65 | Dr. Andrew Wakefield Gets a Haircut: What Happens When You Question the System

Few figures in modern medicine have generated as much controversy as Dr. Andrew Wakefield. A former physician and researcher who published more than 150 scientific papers, Wakefield lost his career, fellowships, and medical license while pursuing questions surrounding childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurological injury in children. In this episode, Wakefield shares how parents first brought him stories they believed no one was willing to hear, what happened when his research collided with powerful institutions, and how he went from physician to filmmaker and author after years of public scrutiny and professional consequences. We discuss autism, chronic illness, scientific dissent, censorship, media narratives, pharmaceutical liability, public trust, and the responsibilities that come with asking difficult questions. We also discuss his upcoming novel The Bequest(releasing June 26, 2026), and the deeply personal question that helped inspire it: what happens to children with autism when their parents are gone? Whether you agree with him, disagree with him, or simply want to understand one of the most polarizing figures in modern medicine, this conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear the story directly from the man at the center of it.

64 | Dr. Hilary Fritsch Gets a Haircut: The Airway Dent istry Warning Every Parent Needs to Hear

spotify summary Dr. Hilary Fritsch is a biological and airway dentist who shares how modern orthodontics, mouth breathing, poor jaw development, and sleep-disordered breathing are affecting millions of children and adults. After struggling with childhood sleep apnea and later developing an autoimmune disease that affected her vision and mobility, her work shifted toward airway development, nasal breathing, sleep quality, and functional breathing. What begins as a conversation about braces and airway dentistry quickly expands into a much larger discussion about modern diets, childhood development, ADHD symptoms, athletic performance, facial structure, tongue posture, poor sleep, and the long-term consequences of treating straight teeth as the goal instead of functional health. Recently featured on Alex Clark’s podcast as well as outlets like The Today Show and Business Insider, Dr. Fritsch has become a leading voice in the growing conversation around airway dentistry, jaw development, and sleep health.
