Rethinking Modern Medicine: Dr. Palevsky’s Journey Into Root Cause Healing | SNH Podcast #119

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Larry Palevsky shares his journey from pediatric emergency medicine to a root cause–based approach to healing. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, he explores why suppressing symptoms may interfere with true recovery, and how restoring parasympathetic balance, optimizing nutrition, and reducing environmental inputs can transform both acute and chronic illness—especially in children.

Whether you're a practitioner, a parent, or simply someone questioning the conventional medical model, this conversation invites a deeper understanding of what healing really looks like.

Join us as we delve into:
• Why acute symptoms may actually be signs of healing—not disease
• The role of parasympathetic dominance in recovery and health
• Root cause approaches to pediatric asthma, eczema, and infections
• What the Flexner Report did to Western medicine—and what we lost

This episode is for you if:
• You’re curious about healing beyond pharmaceutical protocols
• You’ve felt frustrated by conventional approaches to chronic illness
• You want to better understand your child’s symptoms and immune responses
• You’re exploring functional or integrative pediatric care
