Planes, Trains and Oral Contraceptives
Join Nate and Bruce, two OB Gyn physicians and environmental experts, for the first episode of their podcast, Green Docs.
They deliver you right into recent environmental headlines that connect to women’s health and pregnancy -- from the toxic train wreck in Ohio to new concerns about turbulence during plane flights, and even Chris Rock’s latest Netflix special.
They honor International Women's Month with a feature on Virginia Apgar, creator of the Apgar Score, and how she ensured every baby’s well-being is “graded” at birth.
Finally, they introduce their next episode, an interview with Dr. Kristin Lyerly, with her insider stories on women's health both as a practicing Ob/Gyn and candidate for State Assembly; and a surprising tale from Washington DC where lobbying efforts met an unexpected obstacle: silence.

Crucial topic!
