The Freely Rooted Podcast

Taylor Kulik started educating & supporting mothers from around the world about biological infant sleep and responsive parenting after her own journey with her first child. When her daughter was an infant and became increasingly more difficult to place into a crib for daytime or nighttime sleep, Taylor found herself between 1 or 2 options: sleep training (since that seems to be the only answer from the internet, friends, family, or professionals), or accidentally falling asleep herself while trying to nurse her daughter back to sleep. As a healthcare professional, Taylor had heard every fear-based message in the book about the "dangers" of co-sleeping, but once she realized that this was the most instinctual way to sleep with her baby, she expanded her research and realized that much more people were co-sleeping around the world than what she previously believed. Since then, Taylor's mission has been to offer safe co-sleeping information to mothers that they are often withheld from healthcare professionals. We invited Taylor on the podcast to dismantle sleep myths & sleep taboos, and offer what often is the missing piece in our motherhood journey that can optimize the entire family's sleep at night, while honoring biological needs & healthy attachment. Join us as we sit down & discuss the following: Our culture's obsession with infant sleep Our experiences with a more biological approach to sleep How the sleep training industry created a "problem," and then sold us a "solution" Sleeping through the night is not a rite of passage Your body is enough Setting yourself up for realistic expectations How to support mothers Factors that go into baby's sleep Allowing dependence is how you facilitate independence Is our system set up to support mothers & babies? The implications of the lack of a village Addressing the foundation of biological needs An honest talk about "mom shaming" What is bedsharing? Biologically normal infant sleep patterns How to support sleep for both mom & baby *Not medical advice.

During her 25 year career in dentistry, Michale Chatham helped build & create one of the first integrative centers for tongue tie releases. Thousands of cases deep, her health collapsed after her own tongue tie release. Her RN, IBCLC, massage therapy, and myofunctional background allowed her to zoom out and see the full picture of fascia & body expression. What she learned is that tongue ties need individual, holistic, big picture care. They are not a one-size-fits-all standard.  Most practitioners look right to the mouth when they suspect an oral tie, but Michale takes a much different approach: one that allows us to differentiate between a real tie, or simply a tight frenum.  Join us as we sit down & discuss the following: Michale's background & experience  Michale's health collapse after her tongue tie release Tongue tie revisions: do they "work"? The holistic approach to oral ties Why "fix" and work" are empty words Why revisions are controlled trauma The importance of knowing your outcome goals Finding a provider that supports you Are tongue tie revisions necessary? Are tongue ties more common now, or are we just now focusing on them? Practical tips for your baby from home It starts with you Big announcement! *Not medical advice.

Josh & Jeanne Rubin, who you might know as @realfoodganstas on Instagram, are some of the true OG's in the metabolic health world. These two have paved the way in not only thyroid & metabolic health, but in how to create a sustainable health journey that you truly enjoy. The Rubins have 20 years of clinical work under their belt and have pursued education through a wide range of programs, including the CHECK institute (Paul Chek) & the RCP institute (Morley Robbins). While the Rubins encourage a food-first approach to healing, they emphasize that it can't stop there. We HAVE to address the mind. We HAVE to address the nervous system. "The biology of the individual cannot be separated from the social and psychological aspects of their life." Our mindset shapes our biology. We can be checking boxes all day long, but we can get lost in the process and create more chaos in the stress of "doing all the right things." Has your pursuit of health become unhealthy?

We sat down with RN & IBCLC Therese Dansby to merge perhaps one of the most important combinations for motherhood: metabolic health + breastfeeding. In a culture where there seems to be two sides yelling "breast is best!" or "fed is best!," we're here to say that perhaps "nourished & supported breastfeeding is best." The hard truth is that breastmilk nutrition does not stay fixed. The nutrition of your breastmilk is absolutely determined by your own nourishment as a mom. So that does that mean we're saying to outsource to formula to ensure that baby is getting what baby needs? Absolutely not! We're saying that moms. need. NOURISHMENT. And moms need support to make that happen- whether that's through help, lifestyle shifts, financial readjustments, or simply the environment in which the mom feels like the power is back into her hands.  Join us as we sit down & discuss the following: Therese's metabolic health journey Mercer's theory of maternal attainment Why it's important to put power back into the mom's hands How breastmilk composition changes over time Is "fed" really best?  What is "costs" a mom metabolically to breastfeed Why it's important to support your metabolism prior to pregnancy + postpartum A whole-body approach to baby's "food intolerances" Postpartum mood disorders: a "chemical imbalance" or a lack of nourishment/support? Society's obsession with infant sleep Postpartum diet culture Calorie needs for breastfeeding moms Postpartum hormonal changes Return of cycle while breastfeeding Forms of natural birth control while breastfeeding Examining the advice of supplementing babies with vitamin D & iron Addressing oral ties systemically Therese and her colleague Cortney have released a comprehensive virtual breastfeeding and postpartum course called Nourished Beginnings, and podcast listeners can get 10% off their purchase with code FREELYROOTED10 *Not medical advice.

In this week's episode, we teamed up with the legendary Kate Deering to tackle some of the most controversial topics in modern health: hypertension, high cholesterol, depression, diabetes, and heart disease. Is our modern health care system helping us when it comes to understanding & actually treating these conditions, or are we simply managing symptoms? With over 25 years under her belt in the health + fitness industry, Kate Deering is a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, & experience. She has done it all, tried it all, and finally crashed & burned at the age of 38 before discovering Dr. Ray Peat & the goldmine of metabolic health. Suddenly, everything made sense, and her dedication to become an expert on her own physiology led her to write her own masterpiece: How To Heal Your Metabolism. Her book essentially can be summed up as this: your metabolism is the root of your symptoms. Kate offers us her refreshing & honest experience on the highs & lows of her healing journey. Join us as we sit down & discuss the following: Kate's journey with diet culture, fitness, & metabolism Modern medicine view of disease vs bioenergetic view of disease What "metabolism" really means How to assess your metabolism High blood pressure: is it really the salt? High cholesterol: is it really the saturated fat? Depression: is serotonin really the "happy hormone"? Diabetes: is it really the sugar? Heart disease: again, is saturated fat the enemy?
