She calls herself crunchy, but still trusts vaccines and modern medicine.

Does she represent a possible middle path, one where you can embrace holistic living without falling into the anti-science pipeline?

And if viewers want to learn more about the Crunchy Moms movement, they should watch Will's documentary series, Extremely Normal.

We'll have a link in today's show notes.
