3.26.2026 #SecondOpinion w/ Dr. Ebony J. Hilton: Fire Your Doctor? Patient Power, Autism Signs & “Eat Your Water” Explained #SecondOpinion

When your doctor isn’t listening, staying silent can cost you.

Dr. Ebony J. Hilton presents a question patients don’t always feel empowered to ask: When is it time to fire your doctor? With insight from a physician who served in the Biden administration, the conversation centers on what it really takes to be heard in a system where too many people feel dismissed, and why advocating for yourself can make the difference in the care you receive.

Autism in children is part of that same reality. The early signs aren’t always obvious, and missing them can delay critical support. What should parents be looking for? What questions need to be asked? For one mother raising two children on the spectrum, those questions aren’t theoretical, they shape everyday life and fuel her work as an advocate.

“Summer time fine” comes with its own pressures, especially when detox becomes part of the conversation. What does detox actually mean, and how are people approaching it when it comes to their health? Even something as basic as hydration gets a second look, with the idea of “eating your water” offering a different way to think about how the body is supported.
