Summary

In this riveting episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich welcomes Dr. Marty Makary, the newly appointed FDA Commissioner, Johns Hopkins surgeon, and bestselling author, to uncover the uncomfortable truths hiding in plain sight within modern medicine. From the explosion of peanut allergies caused by outdated guidelines, to the damaging impact of smartphones on kids’ mental health, to the silent assault on our microbiomes through overprescribed antibiotics and unnecessary C-sections, Dr. Makary pulls back the curtain on decades of medical dogma—and what it’s costing our children. With insight, humility, and rare courage, he equips parents to ask better questions, trust their instincts, and demand a healthcare culture that values transparency over tradition. Together, Ginny and Dr. Makary dive into the heart of his books Blind Spots and The Price We Pay, spotlighting how misplaced medical vigor, flawed consensus, and lack of accountability have created ripple effects still harming families today. But this episode doesn’t just diagnose the problems—it delivers solutions. Learn what to do before you pay a hospital bill, how to approach antibiotics with wisdom, and why humility is the antidote to broken systems. It’s a must-listen for every parent who wants to protect their children, navigate the noise, and reclaim their confidence in raising healthy, whole kids. ** Learn more about Dr. Marty Makary here Get your copy of Blind Spots here Get your copy of The Price We Pay here ** A huge thank you to our sponsors!
