Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.

1KHO 526: Parents Want To Talk About Vaccines More Than All Other Topics Combined | Joel Warsh Gator, Between a Shot and a Hard Place
Why are the conversations parents care about most the ones they’re told they can’t have? In this powerful and eye-opening episode, board-certified pediatrician Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to unpack one of the most taboo topics in modern parenting: vaccines.
With decades of experience, a master’s in epidemiology, and a thriving integrative practice, Dr. Warsh lays out a clear, respectful, and research-driven case for why parents deserve full transparency and freedom to ask questions—without being shamed, silenced, or dismissed. His new book, Between a Shot and a Hard Place, is an honest reckoning with what we do and don’t know about the current vaccine schedule—and why that matters more than ever in an age of chronic illness and declining trust in the medical system.
Ginny Yurich and Dr. Warsh navigate this sensitive terrain with balance and clarity, addressing placebo studies, long-term data gaps, liability loopholes, and the realities families face when trying to make informed choices. This episode doesn’t tell you what to think—it simply invites you into the conversation most parents are already having behind closed doors. Share this one widely. It’s not anti-anything. It’s pro-discussion.
