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
