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

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.
