Beyond the Prescription - Exiting Conventional Medicine and Living Naturally
What does it really mean to make an informed health decision?
In this conversation with Leah Wilson, we move beyond the idea that healthcare choices are simply about following the next recommendation. Instead, Leah invites us to look at the deeper questions: Do we understand our options? Do we feel free to ask questions? Are we making decisions from fear, pressure, or true discernment?
Together, we explore informed consent, medical choice, health freedom, natural living, and the importance of returning to personal responsibility in the way we care for ourselves and our families.

About our guest, Leah Wilson
An attorney with a background in complex litigation and advocacy, Leah Wilson is passionate about children’s health and has researched and worked on child welfare issues for more than a decade.
The overmedication of children in foster care as a form of behavior management is what compelled Leah to become an advocate and foster parent. During her time as a court-appointed special advocate for abused and neglected children, Leah witnessed the rampant use of psychiatric drugs among foster kids. She also discovered that, in addition to many extensive requirements, the state had a policy that all foster children and foster families be fully vaccinated, without exception. Through her involvement in law, health and the foster care system, it became abundantly clear to Leah that the single most important issue affecting child welfare in the United States is the practice of one-size-fits-all medicine via medical mandates. This motivated Leah to expand her advocacy beyond foster care to all children nationwide and to start Stand for Health Freedom (SHF) in 2019.
A graduate of the Saint Louis University School of Law, Leah holds dual bachelor degrees in political science and Spanish from Indiana University. In addition to her advocacy work with SHF, Leah is the owner and former operations director of MaxLiving Indy, one of the largest natural health centers in the Midwest. She is also an educator on holistic health as well as a sought-after speaker on issues ranging from religious rights to greening your home.
Together with her husband Dr Nick Wilson, Leah recently authored the book titled: Reclaim Vitality: A Guide to Exit Conventional Medicine and Live Naturally. Leah also co-authored the book titled: The Vaccine Decision: Every Shot has a Story.
