    Ep. 65 Should women of reproductive age take GLP-1s?

    In this week's episode I discuss how GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and similar weight-loss drugs are being used at unprecedented rates — especially by women of reproductive age. I share why this trend deeply concerns me, and why I believe these medications pose serious, largely unknown risks for future fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and long-term generational health. This conversation has been building for months, fueled by client stories, cultural normalization of GLP-1s, influencer misinformation, and growing reports of severe side effects and lawsuits. It’s not about judgment — it’s about history, responsibility, and informed decision-making. In This Episode, We Cover: Why FDA approval does not equal long-term safety The rise of GLP-1 use in women who want children someday Historical drug disasters (Vioxx, DES, Thalidomide) and what they teach us Emerging lawsuits and serious side effects linked to GLP-1 medications Nutrient depletion, gut health, and the role of the maternal microbiome Why appetite suppression ≠ true metabolic or reproductive health The risks of using GLP-1s before pregnancy — even if you stop once pregnant Why stopping breastfeeding to lose weight with these drugs is especially concerning My Core Belief Women deserve support that helps them get healthy, nourished, and hormonally resilient — not just thinner. If this episode resonated, I’d love to hear from you.

    Ep. 64 The DM That Sent Me Into a Spiral — And What It Reveals About Our Physical Health and State of the Collective Psyche

    In this episode I share some really vulnerable feelings that came up after receiving a DM from someone I was supposed to do a collaboration with. I talk about why censorship and a culture of silence for fear of speaking out about anything controversial is harmful to our society, as well as, go into how the connection of politics and health and polarization that's happening is dangerous.    If you ever wondered if you needed to agree with me about certain issues to receive benefit from being in my community or being able to work with me if you weren't "crunchy" enough... please tune in.    Link to original post that sparked this talk. https://www.instagram.com/p/DTvqFkfETK3/?img_index=1   Book a call to work together.

    Ep. 63 Freebirth, Fear & Media Frenzy: My Honest Take on the Freebirth Society Controversy

    In this episode, I share my honest, nuanced perspective on the growing media controversy around freebirth — from my years of birth work and personal birth experience, to the systemic issues fueling polarization, fear, and misunderstanding in the birth world. In This Episode You’ll Hear About: What freebirth actually is and how it became more widely known through The Freebirth Society’s online presence, podcast, and programs Why the recent Free Press and Guardian articles struck such a chord — and the many thoughts and feelings they brought up My background as a doula and birth-obsessed human and why this topic feels so important and personal Real stories of unassisted birth (both planned and unplanned) and the wide range of women who choose this path How the extreme medicalization of birth fuels an equally extreme counter-response — and why freebirth has grown in popularity Where I think The Freebirth Society movement goes too far, including the tone, dogma, and the concerning stories emerging from their online community Why I believe women were never meant to birth alone and were also never meant to birth under fluorescent lights, tied to machines, on hospital timelines The real data on birth safety — homebirth, hospital birth, medical management, outcomes, and where risk actually lies The danger of women not seeking care when it’s needed, and how community pressure, people-pleasing, and fear can shape decisions The urgent need for a middle ground between hyper-medicalized birth and dogmatic freebirth ideology The systemic issues driving this whole crisis, including licensing restrictions for midwives and liability-driven hospital policies Why women must reclaim their voices, power, and research skills, no matter where they choose to birth My deepest hope for birth culture: more support, more education, more physiological birth, and less extremism on both sides At the heart of it all, this episode is an invitation to think more deeply — beyond fear, beyond headlines, and beyond extremes — about birth, autonomy, support, and the kind of world we want mothers and babies to enter. If this conversation resonates, please share the episode, rate the show, or send me a message. I love hearing your reflections.

    EP: 61 Let’s Get Real About Picky Eating

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the real root causes of picky eating (hint: it’s not just your child being “stubborn”) and sharing practical strategies you can start using today to bring peace back to your table. We’ll cover: ✨ The four most common hidden reasons kids refuse food (it’s deeper than “personality”) ✨ Why it’s okay if your child isn’t eating kale every night (protein and healthy fats matter more!) ✨ The two principles that will instantly shift how you approach mealtime ✨ The two “tracks” for turning picky eating around — rip off the Band-Aid vs. slow switch ✨ Playful eating strategies that make new foods way less scary I’ll also give you my favorite hands-on strategies, like: 🥄 The “One Bite, No Thank You” rule 🍽 One dinner only — you’re not a short-order cook! 🥩 Sneaky superfoods (think bone marrow pancakes, liver tacos, and gut-healing broth) 🌉 Food bridges to gently expand their palate 👩‍🍳 Cooking together to turn mealtime into connection time 👀 Why modeling matters (they copy what we do more than what we say!)

    EP: 60-Should you trust your pediatrician? Stories of doctors mismanagement of childhood wellness including what our doctor misdiagnosed bloody diarrhea as and what we did instead

    Should you trust your pediatrician? 🤔 Today I’m not here to give you a simple yes or no. Instead, I’m sharing stories of times doctors mismanaged my child’s care—including how one pediatrician misdiagnosed bloody diarrhea (and what we did instead). In this episode, I’ll cover: Why being a steward of your child’s health sometimes means saying no How to balance having a pediatrician on hand while still being the final decision-maker My son Ojai’s story of bloody diarrhea and how triage + the pediatrician completely missed it How another doctor brushed off constipation as “totally normal” (and how that dismissal ultimately led us to discover toxic mold in our home) Why prevention, intuition, and informed choices matter more than intervention alone The takeaway? Doctors are human, and they’re working inside a very narrow framework. It’s not about never trusting them—it’s about remembering that you are the decision-maker for your child’s wellness.

From the shock of postpartum sleep deprivation to uncovering mineral deficiencies and hidden gut infections, this is my story of breaking down, getting answers, and slowly piecing myself back together.
