In this episode, Dr. Christina Francis sits down with Dr. Jill Simons, pediatrician and Executive Director of the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds), to explore the importance of life‑affirming, evidence‑based healthcare for children beyond the womb. Their conversation examines the growing influence of gender ideology in pediatric medicine and the urgent need to respond with biologically grounded care rooted in compassion and truth. Dr. Simons also shares insight into ACPeds’ Doctor, Heal Thyself campaign—an ambitious initiative aimed at supporting physicians and addressing the rapid adoption of irreversible medical interventions for children and adolescents experiencing sex‑identity distress. Together, they discuss the vital role physicians play in protecting children’s health and why a broader cultural shift toward integrity, courage, and authentic care is needed now more than ever.
