The Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast

Send us Fan Mail In this week's short episode; A 30-second Instagram clip can do real damage when it wraps misinformation in a confident “Dr” title and a conspiratorial tone. I respond to a listener email about a viral anti-vaccine claim and use it as a simple, practical lesson in scope of practice: what someone is qualified to speak on, and what they are not. If you’ve ever thought “Did you know about this?” after seeing a trending post, this is your reminder to slow down and...
