    Searching for Answers: One Mom’s Story After Vaccines

    In this episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we sit down with a courageous mom who shares her deeply personal story of what happened after her child received routine vaccinations. She makes it clear: vaccines were never officially proven to be the cause of her child’s health changes. But the timing? The sudden onset? The regression? It left her asking questions no parent is ever prepared to ask. We talk about:  • The timeline of symptoms  • What doctors said — and didn’t say  • The emotional toll of feeling dismissed  • Heavy metal concerns and detox protocols  • What she wishes she had known beforehand  • How she’s supporting her child’s healing today This episode is not about fear — it’s about a mother’s lived experience. It’s about intuition. It’s about asking hard questions. And it’s about walking through uncertainty while fighting for your child. As always, we encourage you to research, read inserts for yourself, and have informed conversations with providers you trust. Our mission is transparency, not censorship. If you’ve ever felt like something didn’t add up… this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen now. 🔗  Here’s where to find us 👇🏻  • Instagram: Crunchymomsunfilteredpodcast • YouTube: Crunchymomsunfilteredpodcast  Find Brandy Lemire on Instagram @healingandhomesteadingmama Find April LoConti on Instagram @thecrunchyishhealingmom JOIN OUR COMMUNITY full of other link minded others and tons of resources to give your all the knowledge to make empowered decisions.  https://www.skool.com/the-crunchy-moms-unfiltered/about?ref=4c2d934ae57346eaafc3d994ff00f0ce Leave a comment and let us know what topic you want us to tackle next!

    What happens when someone trained inside Western medicine starts asking uncomfortable questions? In this episode, we sit down with Kathy Collins, a physician assistant who proudly calls herself conventionally crunchy. With years of experience working in the medical system, Kathy shares what most people never hear about medical training, vaccines, and how little education providers actually receive on functional medicine, genetics, and long-term outcomes. We dive into: The pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine and why informed consent mattersMTHFR gene mutations and why they’re rarely discussed in conventional careThe childhood vaccine schedule and the growing concerns many parents are havingWhat providers are and aren’t taught about vaccines in medical trainingWhy functional medicine is often dismissed, despite patient outcomesKathy’s personal journey into becoming a “crunchy mom” while still working in Western medicineWe also touch on the broader conversations happening right now around medical transparency, parental choice, and the topics being publicly discussed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that many families are questioning for the first time. This is an honest, respectful, eye-opening conversation for:  ✔️ Parents who want to be informed  ✔️ Anyone questioning the “one-size-fits-all” approach to healthcare  ✔️ Medical professionals who feel stuck inside a broken system  ✔️ Crunchy moms, curious moms, and conventionally trained providers alike Whether you’re️’re fully crunchy, just starting to question things, or still somewhere in between, this episode creates space for nuance, curiosity, and truth. 🎙️ No fear.

    The USA Today Documentary We’ve All Been Waiting For | Episode 14

    Okay… let’s talk about this documentary. In this episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we’re airing the full USA Today documentary that a LOT of parents have been waiting to see—and yes, we have thoughts. We kick things off with our own commentary before the documentary starts, because while this project was a huge moment and an important step forward, it wasn’t perfect—and we want to be honest about that. There were parts we loved, parts we questioned, and a few discrepancies we didn’t totally agree with. And instead of pretending otherwise, we talk about it. Then we let the documentary play in full, uninterrupted, so you can watch it with your own eyes and form your own opinion. Afterward, we come back with real, unfiltered reflections—what felt validating, what felt off, and why overall we still believe this was a meaningful experience and an important project to be part of. Do we think crunchy moms were represented better than ever before on a mainstream platform? Yes.  Do we think there’s still room for deeper truth and better conversations? Also yes. And that’s exactly why you’ll want to listen. 🎧 Available on all podcast platforms  📺 Full video episode on YouTube & Rumble What you’ll hear in this episode: Our honest pre-documentary commentary (no blind praise here)The full USA Today documentary played start to finishWhere we felt seen as crunchy moms—and where we didn’tThe discrepancies we noticed and why they matterWhy this still felt like a win for parents asking questionsWhy we decided to air this anyway: Because progress doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from conversations finally being allowed to happen. And this documentary cracked a door that’s been shut for a long time. We don’t expect you to agree with everything.  We do expect you to walk away thinking.
