MARK GROVES
About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Taylor Bean, a leading naturopathic doctor and informed consent advocate, joins us to dismantle the illusion of medical transparency. We explore the complexities behind vaccine protocols, childhood immunization, and the overlooked nuances of informed consent—revealing how fear, shame, and coercion have replaced curiosity and autonomy in modern healthcare. From the rise of medical mandates to the subtle erosion of patient rights, Dr. Bean breaks down what every parent, practitioner, and patient must understand. This conversation will challenge your assumptions, ignite critical thinking, and empower you to reclaim authority over your health decisions.

Dr. Taylor Bean is a Naturopathic Doctor and owner of TaylorMade Wellness in Salmon Arm BC.  Becoming a mother is where her core value of achieving informed consent was born. While her profession taught her to be curious and treat each patient individually, it was her positive birthing experiences that changed her perspective on what a true doctor-patient relationship means.  Her career started in Singapore where she supported patients all over SE Asia and now has been supporting Canadians since 2016. Dr. Bean has been drawn to supporting women achieve an optimal pregnancy, labour preparation, paediatric wellness to more complex ailments that involve looking into methylation, genetic variants, chronic infections to complex paediatric conditions
