    "Breast is Best?"— PhD Lactation Expert Exposes The Truth

    When did "breast is best" stop being advice and start being a way to make exhausted moms feel like they're failing a test? Dr. Jessica Bliss (PhD, Cornell) went from witnessing infant mortality in Niger's hunger seasons to becoming one of the most evidence-based lactation consultants in the Pacific Northwest. Today she's breaking down the myths that torment new parents — and she's not pulling punches. 🔥 MYTHS BUSTED IN THIS EPISODE: ❌ "If baby wants to nurse an hour later, your milk isn't rich enough" ❌ Breastfeeding is natural so it should be easy ❌ Lactation consultants are pushy breast-only advocates ✅ The REAL history behind "breast is best" (1977 boycott) ✅ Why immunological protection can't be replicated in formula ✅ When to actually call a lactation consultant (hint: BEFORE birth) 👤 ABOUT OUR GUEST: Dr. Jessica Bliss is the owner of Bright Star Lactation in Corvallis, OR. She holds a PhD from Cornell University, conducted research at Princeton, and spent years with Peace Corps in Niger studying infant nutrition during famine conditions.

    Why This Common Back Pain Treatment Gets a Pass (When Chiropractic Doesn't)

    We ran a social media experiment: showed people a study with 132 trials, 7,900 patients, modest short-term relief, no long-term benefits, and serious complications. They called it "dangerous quackery." Plot twist: it wasn't about chiropractic. It was epidural steroid injections — the "real medicine" your doctor recommends after an MRI. Same weak evidence, completely different reaction. Today we're unpacking WHY. And what conservative care should look like 💉 KEY TAKEAWAYS: • 9 million epidural steroid injections performed yearly in the US • Evidence shows: decent for disability, NOT effective for pain • Short-term outcomes only: days to weeks of relief • Major guidelines place injections AFTER PT and chiropractic • Cost comparison: $2,000-5,000 per injection vs. conservative care • Same "low quality evidence" problem affects ALL back pain treatments 🔬 THE DOUBLE STANDARD: When a physician does it with a needle and fluoroscopy machine = "real medicine" When a chiropractor or PT does manual therapy = "pseudoscience" Same evidence quality. Different labels. Why? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📢 THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY: Brain.FM Music for your brain!
