Born Free Method: The Podcast

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCCAhh…the gut. Twenty years ago, somebody like Josh Dech would have been quacked right on your friendly social media platform. 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. Josh even specializes in the hard stuff: Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis; and other digestive issues that most doctors say can’t be helped.Visit the show notes for more.Connect with the guest:WebsiteInstagramListen to Josh's podcast: ReversABLEReferences from the show:Consequences of C-Sections to MicrobiomeRisks of not breastfeedingBottle Feed/breast feed vs SIDSConnect 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% offMedical Disclaimer: The Holistic OBGYN Podcast is an educational program.

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 speakers delve into the autonomic ladder and polyvagal theory, addressing the impact of past traumas. They also discuss lifestyle strategies to combat persistent HPV and the connection between chronic stress, the immune system, and the vagus nerve.

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!
