171: The Most Important Pediatrician in the World: Dr. Lawrence Palevsky

This week, we welcome back the incredible Dr. Lawrence Palevsky, a licensed pediatrician who specializes in a holistic approach to children's wellness.  In this episode, he will discuss why parents should be cautious about pediatricians and ties this warning back to the problems with Western medicine and child healthcare in general.  Tune in to this episode to hear how dismantling false belief systems associated with Western medicine can unlock optimized health for you and your family.     Quotes: "Western medicine is no longer being practiced because pediatrics is really about understanding development, understanding brain development, and being able to help parents through the psychology of different stages of life. And it's about caring for this precious growth that's coming into the world." – Dr. Lawrence Palevsky  "The general practice of medicine is not run by physicians anymore. It's run by the insurance companies, run by those who own the practices because doctors are no longer independent. So you literally don't have humans, you have soldiers who are having to follow whatever protocols, algorithms, and directions that they need to follow." – Dr. Lawrence Palevsky  "You are the consumer, and going into a pediatrician's office with a subservient, obedient, worship mentality, you're not going to have a relationship with them. So go in is a consumer who's saying, I need this, I want this. I'm interested in this, can you offer it to me? I don't want this. I don't want this. I want this, I want this. And I want this." – Dr. Lawrence Palevsky  Key Takeaways: There's nothing more important than for parents to know that their children are healthy. However, the available healthcare for children has been captured by insurance companies that only care about their own money making agenda.  This poses a challenge for parents and pushes them to find alternatives, other than the standard pediatrician. Doctors have become far removed from the care intended for their patients. Those in power and the insurance companies have taken away the freedom of medical practitioners to administer appropriate treatment. Instead, protocols are followed that don't necessarily address what the patient's needs are. If you go to a pediatrician, ensure you don't just blindly follow and obey what they say. You are your child's only advocate, it is important you speak up for them.   Highlights/Timeline: [01:49] – Introducing our guest, Dr. Lawrence Palevsky!

Pediatricians, despite their expertise, frequently work within the constraints of protocols and insurance agendas. As such, it is critical for parents to be advocates of their children's health, expressing their choices and seeking the finest care possible. Let us end the cycle of mindless obedience and equip ourselves to make better educated decisions for our children. After all, our children are the future.   Resources: Learn more about Dr. Lawrence Palevsky  on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrence-palevsky-6a63744/  Website:  https://www.drpalevsky.com/index.html Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.palevsky/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100050423832844    Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/  Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast: Instagram: @futuregenpodcast, @thefuturegensd and @drstantonhom_ Facebook: Future Generations Podcast and Future Generations | Clinic of Chiropractic Website: Future Generations | Clinic of Chiropractic If you would like to learn more about the truth behind the pandemic, please check out The End of C0V1D.  Click the link to sign up: https://theendofcovid.com/ref/352/    Get the Heart of Freedom III Replay here: https://hof3replay.thefuturegen.com/hof3recording Join the Future Generations Community here: https://community.thefuturegen.com   Remember to Rate, Review and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify Follow us on Instagram: @futuregenpodcast   San Diego area residents, take advantage of our special New Patient offer exclusively for podcast listeners here.
