The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatalYou will absolutely love this one! Mike and I have known each other for several years now. I helped him in his journey from boy to father, providing remote support to Mike and his wife through the birth of their little man Luca, and, in the process, I fell in love with this guy. Mike is a former world champion athlete turned conscious father. In this conversation, we go deep into the needs of men in a world that provides few tools for showing up presently and consciously. Visit the show notes for more.Connect with Mike:WebsitePodcast: The Path with Mike SalemiInstagramReference from the show:Sacred HuntingFrom the Core, by John WinelandFather-child play: A systematic review of its frequency, characteristics and potential impact on children’s developmentUse code BORNFREE20 to get 20% of either of Mike’s online exercise programs (Kettlebell Lifestyle & Athleticism 4 Life), which are good for everyone, from beginners through enthusiasts.

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatalHeather and Karina are both parents, and their age gap has provided them sufficient life experience to see the glowing gap in care provided to new mothers in our society. Meeting this need is unlikely to come through allopathic medicine and its myriad of resources because they argue - as do I - that a holistic approach is required. After working for years with women utilizing skills they have picked up in the life and health coaching industry, they then turned their attention to writing a book, “The Way Holistic”, to help new moms (and dads) work with their own stories to become better parents and raise charismatic, healthy kiddos. If you are a mother (or plan to be a parent in the future!) there is a lot of wisdom shared in this conversation!Visit the show notes for more.Connect with Heather and Karina:Websites: Burn360holistichealth.com & Thewayholistic.com Instagram:- Burn360 Holistic Health, Heather Harvey-Chakraholisic, Karina Krepp-The Way Holistic Reference from the show:Caroline Myss, archetypesWork of Leonard Sax, MD, parentingCHEK Institute (to expand your education to include holistic lifestyle principles)2024 Born Free Twins-Breech Conference:Join 150 birth workers and 20+ amazing presenters in Louisville, August 8-11, to learn some new skills, make some new friends, and show up holistically for your birthing clients!Visit the website and registerConnect with Nathan:Instagram | YoutubeMidwife in need of collaboration?Want to consult with Nathan?My Online Courses:Born Free Method: Pregnancy and Postpartum SupportClear + Free: Your Holistic Solution to Persistent HPVThis episode was made possible by:Immune Intel AHCC® - code BELOVED10 for 10% off Get full access to Born Free Method: The Podcast at nathanrileyobgyn.substack.com/subscribe

She has attended countless births and has served in numerous local and national leadership committees to improve clients' births. As a result, she has been supporting the upcoming Born Free Twins-Breech Conference in Louisville, specifically by maximizing CEUs for attendees. In this episode, we discuss horizontal violence in birthwork, the miserable state of birth worker autonomy in the state of Florida, insurance versus direct-pay as an equitable solution for birthing families, and getting s**t on within and without the “system”.Visit the show notes for more.Connect with Fadwah:LinkedInFacebook InstagramReference from the show:Birthing Models on the Human Rights Frontier: Speaking Truth to Power (Social Science Perspectives on Childbirth and Reproduction), edited by Betty-Anne Daviss and Robbie Davis-FloydEMTALA actACOG’s committee opinion on Planned Home BirthAverage costs of childbirthLearn more about Fadwah’s work:www.midwife360.comwww.birthequityresource.org2024 Born Free Twins-Breech Conference:Join 150 birth workers and 20+ amazing presenters in Louisville, August 8-11, to learn some new skills, make some new friends, and show up holistically for your birthing clients!Visit the website and registerConnect with Nathan:Instagram | YoutubeMidwife in need of collaboration?Want to consult with Nathan?My Online Courses:Born Free Method: Pregnancy and Postpartum SupportClear + Free: Your Holistic Solution to Persistent HPVThis episode was made possible by:Immune Intel AHCC® - code BELOVED10 for 10% off Get full access to Born Free Method: The Podcast at nathanrileyobgyn.substack.com/subscribe

His latest publication is An End to Upside Down Medicine, which, like all of his books, is heavily cited and beautifully written. In this conversation, we touch on a few topics that can be a little confronting: vaccines, germ theory, healthcare economics, and materialism.

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatalDr. K and I met on social media, not the old-fashioned way. Interestingly, my experience with MFMs in my career was bittersweet. I valued their opinion and support in managing high-risk births, but their involvement almost always necessitated intervention by having gotten them involved. But Dr. Kia is different. What stood out to me was her advocacy for home birth. Yes, I’m just as shocked as you! This interview was longer than most because my online community fired dozens of questions that they hoped she would answer, and, in typical brilliant MFM fashion, she took them one by one in this frank, challenging conversation. Visit the show notes for more.Connect with Dr. K:WebsiteInstagramTikTokReference from the show:Lily Nichols’ blog on folate versus folic acidLily Nichols’ blog on cholineLily Nichols’ blog on organ meatsHistory of folic acid fortification in U.S. agricultural products2024 Born Free Twins-Breech Conference:Join 150 birth workers and 20+ amazing presenters in Louisville, August 8-11, to learn some new skills, make some new friends, and show up holistically for your birthing clients!Visit the website and registerConnect with Nathan:Instagram | YoutubeMidwife in need of collaboration?Want to consult with Nathan?My Online Courses:Born Free Method: Pregnancy and Postpartum SupportClear + Free: Your Holistic Solution to Persistent HPVThis episode was made possible by:Immune Intel AHCC® - code BELOVED10 for 10% offWeNatal - Free bottle of fish oil with purchase of Him + Her prenatalsMedical Disclaimer: The Holistic OBGYN Podcast is an educational program.

Carol Gautschi has been attending births in the Pacific Northwest for 48 years. Over this time, she has developed a truly holistic view of birth, including unique inquiries into the “why” behind malpresentation to begin with. I invited her onto the podcast for an exclusive audio interview ahead of her presentation at the 2024 Born Free Twins-Breech Conference to better understand her approach to "holistic nutrition", which is as much about food as it about other means of "nourishing" our persons, through emotional, mental, and spiritual means. She has continued teaching and attending births due to her calling to help birthworkers re-member the essence of this work. This one was a real honor to record!Come meet and learn from Carol at the 2024 Born Free Twins-Breech Conference happening in Louisville, KY, from August 8-11, 2024! She'll be joined by international keynote speakers Mmatshilo Motsei, PhD, and Doña Angelina Martinez Miranda, Kristine Lauria, CPM, 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 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 & WeNatalSince the 60s, cannabis has been deeply stigmatized, but my work as both an OBGYN and end-of-life doctor has helped me to appreciate the various therapeutic uses for “weed”. Fortunately for you, Dr. Sexton is an expert in the neurochemistry of this wildly misunderstood plant, unfortunately still very stigmatized.
