To combat the most recent COVID variants, the FDA wants vaccine manufacturers to update COVID vaccines again. But most people have COVID and vaccine fatigue, and have moved on. Let's talk about it!
*CONTENT CORRECTION: at the 3:00 minute mark, Dr. David says: "only 17% of Americans have gotten this BA4-5BA vaccine that was brought in 6 months ago, so less than 5 people actually took it in the first place". He meant to say "less than 1 in 5", not 5 people.

Florida’s surgeon general personally manipulated data to falsely claim the COVID vaccines caused an “abnormally higher risk” of cardiac damage than the virus itself. In fact, the state-driven study showed the opposite to be true. Let's talk about it!

Is it true that taking progesterone increases the risk of cancer, and are there any holistic alternatives or supplements to help with premenopausal symptoms (fatigue, depression, dizziness, very long periods)?”

How can we tell the difference between RSV, Covid, and the Flu?
We are navigating three widespread viruses, RSV, COVID, and the Flu. If symptomatic, how do we know which virus it is? Many parents have also asked about keeping their kids safe as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) continues to spread. Dr. David discusses the status of RSV and how we can best protect our kids.

The Body Mass Index (or BMI) - an imperfect measurement system - sets ranges for designating people as underweight, appropriate weight, overweight, and obese. Because so many children are now falling in the obese range, the CDC has created new charts that differentiates the degrees of obesity. Let's talk about it!

As viral infections continue to soar, many people are concerned about attending family and community holiday gatherings. Most of us are feeling life is “back to normal” after missing or downsizing holiday gatherings the past two years. What can we do to stay healthy? Let's talk about it #COVID #Flu #Holidays #Travel
Don’t you just love it when the CDC publishes verifiably false information? Well, the CDC, in a joint publication with the WHO (World Health Organization), just overestimated the number of children at risk for measles by 14 million, due to missed MMR vaccines in 2021. Do they not realize that every time they put out information to the public that is shown to be demonstrably false, they further tarnish their reputation? Let’s look at what the data actually shows!
New research challenges the assumption that smoking marijuana is safer than smoking cigarettes. As a medical cannabis expert, I’ve long been interested in this. Part of the argument why cigarettes are worse is because of the frequency of inhaling most cigarette smokers do throughout a day/week, with many users smoking a pack or more a day. On average, cannabis smokers do not inhale nearly as often. The idea that pot is safer to smoke may be a false argument! And vaping may be safer for both. Let's talk about it!

A reporter asked me a series of questions about allergy medications. I’m not sure how much feedback she wanted to know about my wholistic approach, but I couldn’t earnestly answer about treating allergies without also enlightening them about my wholistic approach. I know a lot of you deal with allergies and so I wanted to share this information with you as well. Hope it helps!

In a recent Q&A interview, a journalist asked me a series of questions about donating a placenta after birth. I don’t know how many of my answers she will put into the final article, but since our patients frequently ask about this, I know many other people would like to hear my take. So let’s talk about it!

In our October Ask Dr. David Live event, a viewer said she’d heard they are expecting this to be a bad flu season and she asked two related questions: (1) Do I take a flu vaccine? (2) Do I have any general guidance for this year's flu vaccine? This video is my response. Hope you find it helpful in determining for yourself and your family what you want to do about this year’s flu vaccine.
Florida’s Surgeon General recently recommended males under 40 years of age not get vaccinated with a COVID mRNA vaccine. His recommendations were based on an unpublished study that has not been peer reviewed. Since no studies are perfect, it is critical that research be reviewed by experts to see if anything calls the results into question. The Surgeon General should know better than make a public health guidance based on unvalidated data. If this research is validated, though, it is certainly something people have a right to know about when making informed personal decisions about the mRNA vaccines.

I recently learned from a colleague that false information is spreading about my approach to vaccines, specifically as it pertains to patients of my medical office, Wholistic Pediatrics & Family Care, in Tampa, Florida. Rumors are circulating that we now require our patients to be vaccinated. This is not our policy. My medical approach is grounded in “informed consent” and medical choice. In this episode, I explain more about what these concepts mean to me and clarify how we approach vaccines at my medical practice.
Parents often ask what they can do to help their kids get through a natural disaster like a hurricane. Hurricanes present a unique situation because we are given advance notice including sometimes unreliable storm tracking projections, which can provoke anxiety as we decide what measures to take to protect our loved ones and our property. Children observe as we make preparations and frequently (sometimes obsessively!) check news sources for the latest information. For children, especially those with special needs, storms can greatly affect their sense of safety and calm. In this episode, I address some things we can do to help our children make it through hurricanes, including the storm’s lead-up and aftermath. Hope you find it helpful.
What’s the deal with the COVID drug Paxlovid? Do people’s symptoms get worse after they stop taking Paxolovid? Does it help prevent COVID if you’ve had a known exposure? On this episode, I help make sense of these common Paxlovid questions.
Parents of children with Autism have reported improvements in their children's behaviors, movements, socialization, sleep, appetite and GI symptoms after introducing cannabis (CBD). In this presentation, sponsored by The Autism Community in Action (TACA), I discuss the endocannabinoid system and how plant-based cannabinoids interact with it. I also review various types of cannabis ingredients (such as CBD, THC, and terpenes); delivery mechanisms; dosing strategies; and concerns about vaping.
I’m Dr. David Berger, a board certified pediatrician in Tampa, Florida. For the past 25 years I have had the privilege of treating children (and adults) using a wholistic, integrative approach to medicine. On this podcast you’ll hear my thoughts on a wide array of health topics, ranging from commonly asked questions from my patients to insights and reactions I have to trending news stories that affect health and wellness. I know many people prefer audio-only podcasts they can listen to anytime, anywhere. I launched Your Health, Your Choice with Dr David as a podcast so I could more broadly distribute the information I share on my YouTube channel as well as in webinars, lectures, and individual consultations. I hope you find this podcast enjoyable and useful; and, as always, I welcome your comments and questions!
