982: Is There a Better Way Than Going to the Pediatrician?
This episode exposes how today’s pediatric model is failing families and reveals how one mother-led movement is flipping the script by empowering parents through functional medicine and real education.
Is your pediatrician making decisions based on your child’s health — or their bonus check?
What if the system that’s supposed to protect your child’s well-being is actually incentivized to push treatments, shots, and protocols not because they’re best for your kid… but because it helps a provider hit their quota? In today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we dive deep into the modern medical model and expose how far it’s strayed from what most parents truly want: real answers, real care, and real peace of mind.

Kathy Meehan from Meehan MD joins Brian to break down how her late husband — Dr. Jim Meehan — became a fearless advocate for functional, holistic care. She shares how their journey began, why they questioned the vaccine status quo, and how that led to creating a pediatric program built around empowering parents, not guilt-tripping them. If you’ve ever felt bullied in a doctor’s office or pressured to go along with something that didn’t feel right — this episode will hit home.
You’ll learn about the broken incentives driving pediatric practices, including how insurance companies reward doctors based on vaccine compliance, not outcomes. Kathy walks through firsthand stories — from her own children’s chronic issues to intense pushback from the medical establishment — and offers a powerful case for why families deserve alternatives that respect informed consent and parental instinct.
Even better? You’ll hear how her team is building those alternatives. Their new “Mindset Kids” program combines modern telemedicine with old-school parenting wisdom, giving moms and dads the tools to handle everything from fevers to ear infections without running to the ER. It’s affordable, accessible in all 50 states, and — most importantly — puts your child’s health back in your hands.
If you’re a parent, grandparent, or just someone who’s tired of a healthcare system that treats kids like checkboxes — this conversation is a must-watch. And if you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a better way to raise healthy families in a world gone medically mad... buckle up.
