0:00.0	On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast. If our kids are getting worse, I think pediatricians need to examine what is it about our industry that's creating less healthy children than it was 50 years ago. Got to figure it out. Otherwise, people are going to stop going to the pediatrician.
0:17.9	Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast.
0:21.4	As always, I'm your host, Courtney Swan.
0:22.9	And today's episode is with Dr. Bob Sears.
0:25.5	I was really excited to do this episode.
0:27.4	But I also have to be honest, I'm not nervous to release this, but I do know that this is
0:31.3	going to be triggering for a lot of people.
0:33.6	It's really unfortunate that we've gotten to a time and a place where there are certain subjects that we are just not allowed to even talk about or ask questions about.
0:41.6	And I don't believe that anything is off the table. I think this is how you find out the truth.

1:12.5	and he is very well versed in this conversation. So I was so excited to sit down with him. It was such an
1:18.5	amazing episode. We also wanted to get this out in a timely manner because there is a current
1:24.0	measles outbreak happening in Texas right now, and we talked about it. I asked him his opinion on it. My hope is that this episode will ease a lot of fears for parents because,
1:32.7	you know, fear is eased by the truth. And you guys know, I've talked about this in many episodes.
1:39.2	I am a huge proponent for informed consent. I don't believe in telling anyone what to do
1:44.9	with their own bodies or with their own children.
1:47.8	I just want to get the truth and the facts out to people
1:50.3	so that they know everything.
1:52.4	They know the risks, they know the pros,
