In this captivating episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich dives into a transformative conversation with Dr. Josh Axe, bestselling author of Eat Dirt and Think This, Not That. Dr. Axe unpacks the groundbreaking concept of “nature's immunizations,” explaining how micro-exposures to dirt, sunlight, and outdoor living are critical for building a strong immune system and overall health. Drawing on both ancient wisdom and modern research, he challenges societal norms around over-sanitization and highlights how reconnecting with nature is key to healing chronic health issues, including gut health, autoimmune diseases, and even emotional well-being.

Find out what 2024 recommendations are so you can be up to date. Show notes with graphs: https://bit.ly/40ftEHdWe continue our series about deaths you don't have to die from by talking about immunizations. There are behaviors that we have that can rob us of the chance to live out our full life span; in the United States this is considered 80 years for women and 75 for men. We now have vaccines to prevent more than 20 life-threatening diseases, helping people of all ages live longer, healthier lives. Immunization currently prevents 3.5 million to 5 million deaths every year from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, flu, and tuberculosis. Diseases we no longer need to get sick and potentially die from if we receive immunizations against them. In this Episode:04:41 - Recipe of the Week: Honey & Garlic Chicken06:28 - Supercentenarian of the Week: Hester Ford08:47 - A History of Tuberculosis - a reading from Call the Midwife20:18 - Can Immunizations Save Lives?

We're diving into a topic that affects, or will affect, each and every one of us: adult immunizations. It's easy to associate vaccinations with childhood—those memories of lining up nervously in the school gymnasium or going to our pediatrician before the school year starts, waiting for that little jab in the arm. But guess what? Immunizations aren't just for kids! Just like we maintain our cars to prevent breakdowns, we need to maintain our immune systems to prevent health hiccups as we age. And vaccines are the ultimate tune-up. But remembering which vaccines we need as adults and when we need them can be difficult. So, let's take a crash course on getting your immune system up to date, no matter your age! Because when you get vaccinated, you're not only safeguarding yourself but also those around you—the kiddos, the elderly, and anyone with a weakened immune system in your community.  Jennifer Semenza is joined by Dr. Robert Lichfield, a Family Practice Specialist who affiliates with Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, Washington, are laying out all of the information you need to make sure you're immunizations are up to date!

Dr. Shylah Moore-Pardo, Assistant Professor with the Division of Infectious Diseases and International Medicine, reviews the basics regarding vaccinations in the HIV-positive population. Dr. Pardo first reviews routine immunizations, such as Influenza, Tetanus, and COVID-19. She then covers risk specific vaccines, such as shots for Hepatitis B and C, meningococcus, and Mpox. Next, Dr. Pardo discusses routine vaccines indicated based upon one’s age, including Shingles, HPV, and pneumococcus. She then reviews non-routine vaccines given as indicated (Rabies, Men-B, Travel vaccines, etc.).

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Robert M. Jacobson, M.D. Immunizations are one of the greatest success stories in modern medicine and it's estimated that they've saved more lives and prevented more disabilities than any other medical intervention. They're probably responsible, more than any other medical advance in contributing to our increased longevity as a population. They're also extremely cost-effective and their benefits far outweigh the very small risks they carry. This podcast will review new information regarding immunizations and how we as clinicians can increase our patients' immunization rates. Our guest is Robert M. Jacobson, M.D., a pediatrician, and expert in immunizations from the Department of Pediatrics at the Mayo Clinic.
