What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have been LOVING listening to these podcasts. Great speakers come onto the show. Dives into the realities of western medicine, and gives me confidence in the medical decisions I want to make. Working in healthcare, a lot of people disagree with my view points which can make me doubt myself. But this podcast reminds me that there are like-minded people out there and to remain strong & bold in my convictions!

Just diving deeper into the world of making informed decisions for my family and feeling like I don’t always have the words to say in the doctor’s office. I am so grateful for this podcast giving me the tools and confidence to stand my ground.

Aside from Alexandra’s calming voice, the way she articulates the topics are excellent. Its a relaxed listen to a topic that is anything but! Im so happy she started this podcast, it is very helpful to parents who really need the facts and thats it. The way to make decisions is by facts, not fear. Keep up the amazing work Alexandra!
