​Introduction
In this Pediatric Perspectives episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul welcomes internationally renowned chef, restaurateur, and author Pete Evans. Known for his passion for whole foods and healthy lifestyles, Pete joins the conversation to discuss his new book Healthy Food for Healthy Kids and share practical wisdom for parents seeking to nourish their children.

​Dr. Paul opens by highlighting his own journey as a pediatrician who often relied on store-bought baby food. Reading Pete’s recipes for nutrient-dense, kid-friendly meals inspired him to reflect on the importance of preparing food that truly supports children’s growth and health.

​Pete Evans explains that his approach to nutrition stems from both his career as a chef and his role as a father. Prevention, he emphasizes, is the cornerstone of his philosophy: “when people really want to make a change to their health, it’s because they’ve faced a diagnosis or a challenge. My goal has always been prevention.”

​Over the years, Pete Evans found a way to unite his roles as father, writer and chef while helping others along the way. He has authored several cookbooks, directed and hosted a handful of documentaries and television series, spoken both at in-person events and in digital capacities and also opened up a retreat sanctuary for holistic healing. Viewers, tune in to “Pediatric Perspectives” this week to learn about healthy eating from Pete!

​In this episode of With the Wind: SCIENCE Revealed, Dr. Paul Thomas welcomes back pediatrician Dr. Lawrence Palevsky for a powerful conversation on measles. Together, they explore history, natural immunity, and the fear-based messaging that dominates public health today. This discussion challenges assumptions and encourages parents to think critically about how we understand illness, vaccines, and healing.

Looking Back at Measles Before Vaccines
Dr. Palevsky recalls his own childhood experience with measles and reviews historical data. Mortality rates had already declined significantly before the measles vaccine was introduced in 1963. He emphasizes that the illness, when supported with nutrition, hydration, vitamins, and rest, was generally benign.

​Vaccination, a “dangerous experiment”— but worth it to protect from illnesses like measles? Paul Thomas, M.D. and Lawrence Palevsky, M.D. aren’t convinced. It’s time to get to the bottom of the science on immunization and the viruses it claims to combat. Watch “Pediatric Perspectives,” this week, for the details!

In this important episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul sits down with integrative physician David Brownstein, M.D. to explore the critical role of iodine in human health. Together, they examine how iodine deficiency contributes to today’s rising rates of chronic illness and cancer, and how practical iodine supplementation can help families prepare for respiratory illness season.

Dr. David Brownstein has spent decades treating patients with integrative approaches that focus on root causes of disease rather than symptom suppression. In this conversation, he explains why iodine is essential for every cell in the body and particularly concentrated in glandular tissues such as the thyroid, ovaries, uterus, breast, prostate, and pancreas.

The discussion also covers the history of iodized salt — once hailed as a public health miracle in preventing goiter — but why it is insufficient to meet the body’s needs. Dr. Brownstein describes how modern farming methods, soil depletion, and environmental toxins have exacerbated iodine deficiency in the population.

Iodine is an essential mineral for human health, but many people are deficient in it. Low levels can be detrimental — but fortunately, the fix is simple. David Brownstein, M.D. returns to “Pediatric Perspectives” to educate viewers on this important element.
