Ever sat in a doctor's office and wondered who actually decides what your family is told about vaccines? This week, the answer changed.

In this episode of The Partovi Effect, husband and wife duo Dr. Ryan Partovi, JD, NMD, MIFHI and Mrs. Madi Partovi break down the new charter for ACIP, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, approved by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The new charter widens who can serve on the committee, mentions vaccine safety far more often than the old version, and adds new liaison groups: the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), the Independent Medical Alliance (IMA), the Medical Academy of Pediatrics and Special Needs (MAPS), and Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC). A federal judge has also suspended the earlier changes to the vaccine schedule, so Dr. Ryan explains where that fight may go next. Mrs. Madi shares what this means for families trying to make their own informed choices.

• The ACIP charter, explained: what the three changes are, why they matter, and how financial incentives in healthcare shape the guidelines doctors rely on. For a side by side comparison of the old and new charter with tracked changes, see icandecide.org.
• Menopause Ready Microdosing: Mrs. Madi introduces the new Aspen Wellness Institute program for women in perimenopause and menopause, and clears up the myth that injectable semaglutide counts as microdosing.
• Plus a family moment and an Iran update: funny and heartfelt stories about raising kids, followed by Dr. Ryan's weekly look at Iran.
