The Holistic OBGYN Podcast

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatalThe FDA has rescinded its approval of mesh placed vaginally for uterovaginal prolapse, yet many gynecologists continue this practice, and it comes at the cost of many women’s long-term health. My guest in this episode is not a healthcare provider and had no interest in women’s health until he started hearing stories of women injured by these procedures. He then started litigating on their behalf and made some friends in high places along the way, including gynecologists, urogynecologists, and many other women’s health practitioners trying to right the ship of history towards healing prolapse and healing the women who bring life into the world. Unlike many attorneys, Adam seems to be very empathetic towards women as a consequence of a career highlighted by innumerable “wins” through the legislative process for women harmed by vaginally-placed mesh procedures for prolapse.

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatalBirthwork is a sacred calling. And as we accumulate life experience we can become more comfortable and present with birth, particularly when we begin to accumulate direct experience with the death of loved ones. Death and dying aren’t words that are typically used in a conversation about birth, but many women and their partners don’t experience as radical a confrontation with their own mortality outside of birth, which is a sacred rite of passage. Blyss Young is one of my closest mentors, and she was present for my first home birth, while I was in residency. Having gone through deep losses in succession in recent years, she was gracious enough to share her experiences with me in this very vulnerable and heart-opening conversation <3Visit the show notes for more.Connect with Blyss:WebsiteInstagramReference from the show:We don't "move on" from grief.

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatalKaleb Valdez, DC, author of “Starving Babies”, rightfully argues that infant formula is the equivalent of feeding your kiddo junk food. Unless necessary, run as fast as you can away from the formula aisle at the store, and head in the direction of your local raw dairies and breast milk donation station before you inadvertently wreck your newborn’s physical and mental health. The importance of breastfeeding goes way beyond the nutritional components. It’s also critical for co-regulation between a mother and her new baby, the structure of the baby’s jaw and palate, and so much more.

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCCI met Dr. Berlin at a lunchtime presentation while I was an OBGYN resident. He screened his film “Heads Up: The Disappearing Art of Vaginal Breech Delivery”, and I was discouraged to realize that if I didn’t pursue training in vaginal breech maneuvers, I couldn’t call myself an expert in childbirth. Elliot’s advocacy set me off on a radical path, which ultimately resulted in my being able to offer vaginal breech birth to my birthing clients. I’m so grateful for his work that I should probably offer him my first-born child. Just sit back and enjoy this one.

Kristine Lauria is a CPM working almost entirely abroad nowadays, but her skillset is occasionally required and called upon in the United States, and this exact set of circumstances arose a few weeks ago. Kristine sat with a powerful birthing woman carrying triamniotic-trichorionic triplets, who came vaginally, in a variety of different positions, including both cephalic and breech. In this short episode, Kristine shares the birth story. Kristine will be an instructor and speaker at the 2024 Born Free Twins-Breech conference alongside international keynote speakers Mmatshilo Motsei, PhD, and Doña Angelina Martinez Miranda, Carol Gautschi, CPM, from the PNW, the team from Breech Without Borders, the team from Spinning Babies, Stu Fischbein, MD, Tracey Vogel, MD, Hermine Hayes-Klein, JD, and many more presenters and speakers.

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCCEyla is a pretty radical woman. In this episode, she and I riff on radical accountability in birth. After all, you aren’t entitled to having your dream birth, let alone a living baby at the end of the journey. But this isn't meant to discourage you; it’s meant to empower you. Certain things are in your control, and the likelihood of something catastrophic happening in your birth will be much lower if you do your best to control what’s going into your body and how you are showing up in your birth. For too long, women have been gaslit around what’s right for their bodies and babies, yet if you aren’t getting a “hell yes” intuitively to interventions in your pregnancy, then why appease the powers that be and nod along with the program? Nobody will be rushing to your rescue if somebody bad happens at the hands of doctors or midwives, so the decisions ultimately fall to you, not to them. This is a big part of Eyla’s work. She also specializes in pregnancy loss, which our society does an inferior job of supporting.

Anybody who has helped clients struggle with fertility will recognize that subfertility is not the primary issue but a consequence of an upstream issue leading to suboptimal fertility, and there’s no better place to start investigating this problem than the endocrine system.

In this solo-cast, I revisit a couple of common themese - and controversies - in the birth and "natural health" world. You aren't your body, so why are we investing ALL of our time and energy into "hacking" the physical? This tendency is no different or better than our outdated medical system's approach to birth with the promise alone of "healthy mom, healthy baby". Sara Rosser, CPM, and I created the Born Free Method as an alternative means to view this sacred process, and the various community members that have given birth after taking our program are a testament to us having found a better path forward. The waitlist for the Born Free Method is open!

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCCSeana Zelazo is a clinical social worker and psychotherapist who speaks in archetypes. What’s an archetype? I'm glad you asked. According to Jung, an archetype is “a universal, inherited idea, pattern of thought, or image present in the collective unconscious of all human beings.” Seana’s book, “The Way of Inanna: A Heroine's Guide to Living Unapologetically”, focuses on the archetype of Inanna, one archetype of the Goddess. This conversation is a rollercoaster, and you’re going to be baffled by how casually Seana and I flow into all things related to femininity, vulvas, and the warrior Goddess.

But now, over 6,000 peer-reviewed papers have been published on the gut microbiome alone. Josh is one of those characters who isn’t an MD, a chiropractor, nor the president of a 3- or 4-letter organization, yet he is every bit of an expert on the topic of gut health and its myriad connections to health and lifespan as any physician.

The Episode was made possible by: Immune Intel AHCC.Paul Thomas, MD, is a retired pediatrician who has battled for sovereignty as a physician, fighting endless battles with the medical board of Oregon throughout his career. The point of contention has also been his unwillingness to compromise informed consent related to vaccine schedules. He is the author of The Vaccine-Friendly Plan (co-authored with Jennifer Margulis), and he has otherwise published various studies and papers confronting the narrative that pumping kids full of vaccines is invariably a “good” approach. A study from his own pediatrics practice of over 3000 children, some of whom were fully vaccinated and many others who were variably or fully vaccinated, provides the luxury of comparing the long-term health and behavioral outcomes for parents considering taking the route of vaccinating versus forgoing vaccines altogether. Unfortunately, this original research paper was retracted from the peer-reviewed journal that initially accepted it for publication… and the reasons were what you might expect: “Defy the mainstream narrative, and you will suffer the consequence”.

Victoria is a classically trained MD who left her OBGYN residency after learning everything she felt was needed to provide patient-centered care as a community birth worker. And you know what? She nailed it. She now serves the Southern California community as a home birth attendant. In this candid conversation (on a beach in Oceanside, CA), we discuss the pros and cons of our unorthodox path out of the conventional maternity care system and into the homes of women who are determined to have an autonomous birth. We also discuss some other less common aspects of Victoria’s life story that led her to the “light” side of medicine.

The Episode was made possible by BIRTHFIT | WeNatalKristine Lauria is back on the podcast! Kristine wasn't able to attend the 2023 Born Free Twins-Breech Conference. So I figured...why not bring her onto the podcast to fill in some gaps around breech birth? After nearly two decades attending births in the States, she took her skills abroad working with Médecins Sans Frontières (aka Doctors Without Borders). This is where the magic of Kristine is obvious. She has attended hundreds of breech births due to the lack of access to operating rooms in a variety of resource-poor settings in which she has worked. As a result, she brings some deeply insightful knowledge into how and when to intervene while attending vaginal breech births!If you missed out on this year's conference, 2024 is going to be bigger and better!
