How to Opt Out of Big Insurance - And Still Get Covered | Andy Schoonover
259: If you’ve ever gotten a surprise medical bill, you need to stop everything and listen to my interview with Andy Schoonover. He founded CrowdHealth, a company that’s taking a crowdfunding approach to healthcare - that means you pay into a community instead of giving your money to a big corporation, and that fund helps cover your medical costs upfront (so no expensive bills down the line). And it ends up being way cheaper than health insurance. If you’ve ever been frustrated with your insurance, you’re going to want to hear this.

Rethinking Vaccines: Informed Consent, Censorship, and Medical Transparency | Dr. Joel Warsh
E255: On today’s episode of the Realfoodology Podcast, I sit down with returning guest Dr. Joel Warsh - aka Dr. Joel Gator on Instagram - to talk about his new book Between A Shot and A Hard Place. I’ve been doing more episodes on vaccines lately, and before you tune out, I just want to say: this is not an anti-vax conversation. It’s about asking questions. Dr. Joel is a pediatrician who started digging into the research for his book and was shocked by how little we actually know.
