Just Enjoy Health with Dr. Meghan Birt

If you or someone you know is pregnant and you’ve discovered that your baby is breech, this podcast episode will be a great resource for helping you answer the, “What now?!” questions I know are swirling around in your mind! During my first pregnancy I spent the last 9 weeks researching, studying and doing everything I possibly could to encourage baby to flip, and even though she ultimately never did, all of the wisdom, resources and tips I share in this episode are fantastic and should help most breech babies flip in time for delivery.

You've probably heard that sugar isn't great for your body - that it can cause a host of different problems, from inflammation, to hormone issues, to weight gain, and beyond. So if you're supposed to be avoiding sugar in order to be healthy...what should you be using instead? This episode is the answer to that question, and I'm sharing a quick list of my favorite natural sweeteners, breaking down why I like them and how I use each one, and what to look for when choosing a natural sweetener for yourself!

You are truly in for a treat with this episode as I am joined by my good friend and colleague Dr. Elizabeth Berg to discuss all things breastfeeding! Recently on Instagram I asked what pregnancy and baby-related topics you most wanted me to address on the podcast, and breastfeeding was hands down the most suggested topic. It makes sense...breastfeeding is something women were created to do as mothers, but that doesn't mean the road to figuring it out and making it work is an easy one (or even possible for everyone!) In this episode Dr. Elizabeth and I are answering your questions and giving you some really practical tips to help you better prepare for your breastfeeding journey.

Around the world, the postpartum period is considered to be a sacred and special time during which a mother is born, as well as her baby. Many cultures have special practices and customs that serve to recognize and honor this special time, and women aren’t expected to “bounce back” or jump right back into their usual lives. In the US though, we have a long way to go, which is why I’m sopassionate about sharing the practical, quick tips that I personally found to be the most helpful or surprising, to help you feel more prepared for postpartum. My hope is that these tips will help you set realistic, healthy expectations for what your postpartum recovery and transition period should look like (otherwise known as the 4th trimester!) so you can prepare in advance to take good care of both your baby, andyourself.

In this episode I’m joined by Sarah Clark, a certified life and health coach, author Fabulously Fertile, the Fabulously Fertile Cookbook, and the Fertility Preparation Program, and host of the Get Pregnant Naturally podcast. We are digging deep into the topic of women’s fertility and discussing how women can take a natural, holistic approach in healing and preparing their bodies for healthy pregnancy. When Sarah Clark was 28 years old, she received a diagnosis of premature ovarian failure, accepted this diagnosis and had both her children through in vitro fertilization. Years later she realized the root cause of her infertility was a food intolerance, which has led to her passion for educating and supporting couples in getting functional lab testing and making diet and lifestyle changes that can dramatically improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy and baby by reversing infertility. I hope this episode will be a great, value-packed resource and really encourage you wherever you’re at in your fertility journey. Thanks for listening to the Just Enjoy Health Podcast!
