The institutions and individuals who run the world would like you to believe that you are powerless. That there's nothing you can do to improve the wellbeing of your family. That you aren't smart enough to understand shmancy science stuff. That eating and living well is too hard for most...so why try? That exercising your rights to informed consent and refusal is irresponsible. That having a birth on you terms, in your own home would be incorrigible. That pregnancy is a disease and childbirth is a medical procedure. That your symptoms are "all in your head". That cervical cancer is an inevitable consequence of HPV infection.

They're wrong. Welcome to your revolution.

    Mothering the mother holistically, with authors Heather Harvey and Karina Krepp

    Mothering the mother holistically, with authors Heather Harvey and Karina Krepp

    The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal
    Heather and Karina are both parents, and their age gap has provided them sufficient life experience to see the glowing gap in care provided to new mothers in our society. Meeting this need is unlikely to come through allopathic medicine and its myriad of resources because they argue - as do I - that a holistic approach is required. After working for years with women utilizing skills they have picked up in the life and health coaching industry, they then turned their attention to writing a book, “The Way Holistic”, to help new moms (and dads) work with their own stories to become better parents and raise charismatic, healthy kiddos. If you are a mother (or plan to be a parent in the future!) there is a lot of wisdom shared in this conversation!

    Midwives can get more sh*t done by bucking the “norm” with Fadwah Halaby, CNM

    Midwives can get more sh*t done by bucking the “norm” with Fadwah Halaby, CNM

    The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal
    Fadwah is a midwife practicing in Florida. She has attended countless births and has served in numerous local and national leadership committees to improve clients' births. As a result, she has been supporting the upcoming Born Free Twins-Breech Conference in Louisville, specifically by maximizing CEUs for attendees. In this episode, we discuss horizontal violence in birthwork, the miserable state of birth worker autonomy in the state of Florida, insurance versus direct-pay as an equitable solution for birthing families, and getting shit on within and without the “system”.

    An End to Upside Down Medicine with Mark Gober

    An End to Upside Down Medicine with Mark Gober

    The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal
    Mark is sort of a… savant. He has written six books, several of which have become bestsellers. His latest publication is An End to Upside Down Medicine, which, like all of his books, is heavily cited and beautifully written. In this conversation, we touch on a few topics that can be a little confronting: vaccines, germ theory, healthcare economics, and materialism. Please approach this one with an open heart, because there’s a lot of juice in this squeeze!

    A High-Risk OBGYN (MFM) Who Supports Home Birth? Damn right. Meet Kia Lannaman, MD

    A High-Risk OBGYN (MFM) Who Supports Home Birth? Damn right. Meet Kia Lannaman, MD

    The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal
    Dr. Kia and I met on social media, not the old-fashioned way. Interestingly, my experience with MFMs in my career was bittersweet. I valued their opinion and support in managing high-risk births, but their involvement almost always necessitated intervention by having gotten them involved. But Dr. Kia is different. What stood out to me was her advocacy for home birth. Yes, I’m just as shocked as you! This interview was longer than most because my online community fired dozens of questions that they hoped she would answer, and, in typical brilliant MFM fashion, she took them one by one in this frank, challenging conversation.

    Mini-Sode: Carol Gautschi, a classical midwife, needs midwives to re-member the essence of midwifery

    Mini-Sode: Carol Gautschi, a classical midwife, needs midwives to re-member the essence of midwifery

    Carol Gautschi has been attending births in the Pacific Northwest for 48 years. Over this time, she has developed a truly holistic view of birth, including unique inquiries into the “why” behind malpresentation to begin with. I invited her onto the podcast for an exclusive audio interview ahead of her presentation at the 2024 Born Free Twins-Breech Conference to better understand her approach to "holistic nutrition", which is as much about food as it about other means of "nourishing" our persons, through emotional, mental, and spiritual means. She has continued teaching and attending births due to her calling to help birthworkers re-member the essence of this work. This one was a real honor to record!
    Come meet and learn from Carol at the 2024 Born Free Twins-Breech Conference happening in Louisville, KY, from August 8-11, 2024! She'll be joined by international keynote speakers Mmatshilo Motsei, PhD, and Doña Angelina Martinez Miranda, Kristine Lauria, CPM, the team from Breech Without Borders, the team from Spinning Babies, Stu Fischbein, MD, Tracey Vogel, MD, Hermine Hayes-Klein, JD, and many more presenters and speakers. Be sure to register soon, as spots are filling up quickly, and those who register earlier rather than later save money!

    Women are being harmed by transvaginal mesh for prolapse repair, with attorney Adam Slater

    Women are being harmed by transvaginal mesh for prolapse repair, with attorney Adam Slater

    The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal
    The FDA has rescinded its approval of mesh placed vaginally for uterovaginal prolapse, yet many gynecologists continue this practice, and it comes at the cost of many women’s long-term health. My guest in this episode is not a healthcare provider and had no interest in women’s health until he started hearing stories of women injured by these procedures. He then started litigating on their behalf and made some friends in high places along the way, including gynecologists, urogynecologists, and many other women’s health practitioners trying to right the ship of history towards healing prolapse and healing the women who bring life into the world. Unlike many attorneys, Adam seems to be very empathetic towards women as a consequence of a career highlighted by innumerable “wins” through the legislative process for women harmed by vaginally-placed mesh procedures for prolapse. This one is an awesome listen!
