Episode 14 Conventionally Crunchy: A Physician Assistant Questions the System
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 matters
- MTHFR gene mutations and why they’re rarely discussed in conventional care
- The childhood vaccine schedule and the growing concerns many parents are having
- What providers are and aren’t taught about vaccines in medical training
- Why functional medicine is often dismissed, despite patient outcomes
- Kathy’s personal journey into becoming a “crunchy mom” while still working in Western medicine
We 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. No shame. Just informed conversation.
