Welcome back to our "Midwives and the Elements" mini-series. In this episode, we ground ourselves as we focus on the earth/land element.These midwives will unveil stories of navigating the relentless challenges that Mother Earth can present, from treacherous earthquakes to alternative paths around washed-out roads and clinging to their resolve amidst deep, unyielding mud.You'll also hear about midwives who step into the most sacred spaces of their client's lives, offering care and support even when the space is not at all what they would typically expect.Intriguingly, you'll also witness how the harshest facet of the earth element isn't also found in the land itself but in the human dynamics intertwined with it. Join us on this compelling journey through the earth element, where resilience, compassion, and the indomitable spirit of midwives shine in the face of adversity.Show Resources-Homeopathy for Childbirth Course

The complexities of ‘burn out' or ‘social anxiety' are not always what they seem; many have the former from the lack of meaningful work, not work itself; many have the latter due to social constraints promoted by the media. One the biggest fears for men talking to women nowadays is not rejection, but coming off as predator. We live within the confines of a culture which preaches mental illness like it's a virtue, and the result is that everyone is defective. It is rarely discussed, but the same ideology driving the former has also driven birth control since the 1960s, based on the notion that pregnancy is a disease to be eradicated. For the first time ever we began striving to stop pregnancy rather than acquire divine assistance in getting pregnant. Little fertility figures and ritual fertility rites have been replaced with worship of abortion-demons and abortion clinics. The ideology most obsessed with all of these things is eugenics. Objectively speaking, the consequences of birth control led to “aids”, unexpected pregnancies since the BC doesn't always work, decline in family values, damaged children, and a general sense of being used once the honeymoon phase is over. The idea that we can have unlimited options, partners, and sex is strongly opposed to all of human history and must, at least, have some manner of serious psychological consequences. This, particularly along with Dating Apps, leads to a depressing cycle of possibility, potential, dopamine, and then a loss in self confidence and self esteem; furthermore, a lack of social cohesion, excessive self deception, and outright lying. The result is we no longer confront our issues or express our desires, because we can hide behind a screen, and thus the popular method of ghosting emerges - all of this is compounded by a heavy dose of scamming. The reality is this for sex: women have more options, but this comes with heavier consequences and responsibility. Men have less options, and this comes with less consequences. It's the same with orgasm. Introducing birth control means women have more options and less consequences. Introducing social justice class warfare means men have less options and more consequences - which leads to incoherency and imbalance for both. Women are more emotional and nurturing, while men are more physical and providing. These are general rules of biology and society which are mutually beneficial. The consequences of BC, conceptually, dissolves such things. The idea that dating is patriarchal is the most ridiculous thing that anyone has ever uttered about sex. The argument goes like this: women want to be with men and that gives men all the power, men want to date only younger women, women get unsolicited pictures, and women have to raise kids alone with no support. BUT… men also want to be with women and that gives women a sense of the same power (especially because they carry the primary means of reproduction), men don't always want to date younger women despite the fact that women usually want to date older men (maturity), on most dating apps half of the women are already almost naked and that is solicitation for at least some of the penis pics, and lastly, if we didn't do away with marriage women would have support to raise those kids! Nothing is more patriarchal than telling the entire human race that housework is bad, women should work for a giant company that doesn't care about them, that she should lay on her back for childbirth, and that men are evil but here is a pill that lets you have sex with as many as you can with no consequences. To deny womanhood is misogynistic and to deny manhood is misandry. Since we love these words so much, then to neglect committed relationships is by definition misogamy.None of this even accounts for the consequences of birth control in the form of emotional swings, severe cramps, bloating, acne, sleep issues, etc. When lose contact with their body. They lose the incentive to take care of themselves, and so do men, who lose the incentive to do any of the kind and loving things that would normally attract a woman to the bedroom, or even to dinner. The magic and love is lost; mystery is replaced with seeing it all and there is a high price paid for that. The sexual revolution was an emotional, psychological, cultural, societal, ad infinitum, de-evolution.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement

Let's talk about benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. This means a person has an enlarged prostate gland. Symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia: • Frequent urination (especially at night) • A weak stream • Dribbling after urination • A sensation that you can't fully empty your bladder Excess estrogen increases the size of the prostate. Estrogen also increases prolactin, which can increase the size of the prostate. Estrogen is a byproduct of testosterone in both females and males. To convert testosterone to estrogen, you need an enzyme called aromatase. The testicles and fat cells make aromatase. Phytoestrogens can mimic estrogen, but not very much. To shrink the prostate naturally, we want to inhibit aromatase to decrease estrogen production. Top things that increase aromatase: • Age • Body fat • Insulin • High-carb diets • Alcohol • Whole grains • Hormone replacement therapy • Birth control pills Things that decrease aromatase: • Cruciferous vegetables • White button mushrooms (sautéed) • Flaxseed • Green tea • Citrus peel In addition to losing weight with Healthy Keto®, reducing insulin, and consuming cruciferous vegetables, you can try a fantastic natural remedy for an enlarged prostate that involves citrus peel. The best natural remedy to support prostate health: Add a whole lemon and a glass of water to a blender, and blend it for about 30 seconds. Then, blend again with about five to ten drops of liquid stevia or 1/2 to 1 cup of blueberries. You can have this at any time of day—enjoy!

Psalms and Wisdom: Psalm 52 Psalm 52 (Listen) The Steadfast Love of God Endures To the choirmaster. A Maskil1 of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.” 52   Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?    The steadfast love of God endures all the day.2   Your tongue plots destruction,    like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.3   You love evil more than good,    and lying more than speaking what is right. Selah4   You love all words that devour,    O deceitful tongue. 5   But God will break you down forever;    he will snatch and tear you from your tent;    he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah6   The righteous shall see and fear,    and shall laugh at him, saying,7   “See the man who would not make    God his refuge,  but trusted in the abundance of his riches    and sought refuge in his own destruction!”2 8   But I am like a green olive tree    in the house of God.  I trust in the steadfast love of God    forever and ever.9   I will thank you forever,    because you have done it.  I will wait for your name, for it is good,    in the presence of the godly. Footnotes [1] 52:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term [2] 52:7 Or in his work of destruction (ESV) Pentateuch and History: 2 Samuel 12 2 Samuel 12 (Listen) Nathan Rebukes David 12 And the LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him and said to him, “There were two men in a certain city, the one rich and the other poor. 2 The rich man had very many flocks and herds, 3 but the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought. And he brought it up, and it grew up with him and with his children. It used to eat of his morsel and drink from his cup and lie in his arms,1 and it was like a daughter to him. 4 Now there came a traveler to the rich man, and he was unwilling to take one of his own flock or herd to prepare for the guest who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.” 5 Then David's anger was greatly kindled against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die, 6 and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.” 7 Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul. 8 And I gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your arms and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah. And if this were too little, I would add to you as much more. 9 Why have you despised the word of the LORD, to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.' 11 Thus says the LORD, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house. And I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel and before the sun.'” 13 David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” And Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die. 14 Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the LORD,2 the child who is born to you shall die.” 15 Then Nathan went to his house. David's Child Dies And the LORD afflicted the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and he became sick. 16 David therefore sought God on behalf of the child. And David fasted and went in and lay all night on the ground. 17 And the elders of his house stood beside him, to raise him from the ground, but he would not, nor did he eat food with them. 18 On the seventh day the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to us. How then can we say to him the child is dead? He may do himself some harm.” 19 But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David understood that the child was dead. And David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” They said, “He is dead.” 20 Then David arose from the earth and washed and anointed himself and changed his clothes. And he went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. He then went to his own house. And when he asked, they set food before him, and he ate. 21 Then his servants said to him, “What is this thing that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive; but when the child died, you arose and ate food.” 22 He said, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows whether the LORD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?' 23 But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.” Solomon's Birth 24 Then David comforted his wife, Bathsheba, and went in to her and lay with her, and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. And the LORD loved him 25 and sent a message by Nathan the prophet. So he called his name Jedidiah,3 because of the LORD. Rabbah Is Captured 26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and took the royal city. 27 And Joab sent messengers to David and said, “I have fought against Rabbah; moreover, I have taken the city of waters. 28 Now then gather the rest of the people together and encamp against the city and take it, lest I take the city and it be called by my name.” 29 So David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah and fought against it and took it. 30 And he took the crown of their king from his head. The weight of it was a talent4 of gold, and in it was a precious stone, and it was placed on David's head. And he brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount. 31 And he brought out the people who were in it and set them to labor with saws and iron picks and iron axes and made them toil at5 the brick kilns. And thus he did to all the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. Footnotes [1] 12:3 Hebrew bosom; also verse 8 [2] 12:14 Masoretic Text the enemies of the Lord; Dead Sea Scroll the word of the Lord [3] 12:25 Jedidiah means beloved of the Lord [4] 12:30 A talent was about 75 pounds or 34 kilograms [5] 12:31 Hebrew pass through (ESV) Chronicles and Prophets: Ezekiel 12 Ezekiel 12 (Listen) Judah's Captivity Symbolized 12 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not, for they are a rebellious house. 3 As for you, son of man, prepare for yourself an exile's baggage, and go into exile by day in their sight. You shall go like an exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand, though1 they are a rebellious house. 4 You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for exile, and you shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as those do who must go into exile. 5 In their sight dig through the wall, and bring your baggage out through it. 6 In their sight you shall lift the baggage upon your shoulder and carry it out at dusk. You shall cover your face that you may not see the land, for I have made you a sign for the house of Israel.” 7 And I did as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for exile, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my own hands. I brought out my baggage at dusk, carrying it on my shoulder in their sight. 8 In the morning the word of the LORD came to me: 9 “Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ‘What are you doing?' 10 Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: This oracle concerns2 the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are in it.'3 11 Say, ‘I am a sign for you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity.' 12 And the prince who is among them shall lift his baggage upon his shoulder at dusk, and shall go out. They shall dig through the wall to bring him out through it. He shall cover his face, that he may not see the land with his eyes. 13 And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare. And I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it, and he shall die there. 14 And I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him, his helpers and all his troops, and I will unsheathe the sword after them. 15 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among the countries. 16 But I will let a few of them escape from the sword, from famine and pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they go, and may know that I am the LORD.” 17 And the word of the LORD came to me: 18 “Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink water with trembling and with anxiety. 19 And say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink water in dismay. In this way her land will be stripped of all it contains, on account of the violence of all those who dwell in it. 20 And the inhabited cities shall be laid waste, and the land shall become a desolation; and you shall know that I am the LORD.” 21 And the word of the LORD came to me: 22 “Son of man, what is this proverb that you4 have about the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days grow long, and every vision comes to nothing'? 23 Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.' But say to them, The days are near, and the fulfillment5 of every vision. 24 For there shall be no more any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. 25 For I am the LORD; I will speak the word that I will speak, and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord GOD.” 26 And the word of the LORD came to me: 27 “Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.' 28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: None of my words will be delayed any longer, but the word that I speak will be performed, declares the Lord GOD.” Footnotes [1] 12:3 Or will see that [2] 12:10 Or This burden is [3] 12:10 Hebrew in the midst of them [4] 12:22 The Hebrew for you is plural [5] 12:23 Hebrew word (ESV) Gospels and Epistles: Luke 15 Luke 15 (Listen) The Parable of the Lost Sheep 15 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” 3 So he told them this parable: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.' 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. The Parable of the Lost Coin 8 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins,1 if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.' 10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” The Parable of the Prodigal Son 11 And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.' And he divided his property between them. 13 Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. 14 And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to2 one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. 16 And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything. 17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”' 20 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'3 22 But the father said to his servants,4 ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. 23 And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to celebrate. 25 “Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.' 28 But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, 29 but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!' 31 And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. 32 It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.'” Footnotes [1] 15:8 Greek ten drachmas; a drachma was a Greek coin approximately equal in value to a Roman denarius, worth about a day's wage for a laborer [2] 15:15 Greek joined himself to [3] 15:21 Some manuscripts add treat me as one of your hired servants [4] 15:22 Or bondservants (ESV)

Jo Young is a "heart mom" from the U.K. Being a heart mom indicates belonging to a community of parents whose children are born with congenital heart defects. The pivotal moment in Jo's story began at her twenty-week anatomy scan with her husband. It was here that they received the life-altering revelation that their baby girl bore a congenital heart defect requiring immediate postpartum surgery. This condition, known as "transposition of the great arteries" (TGA), unveils a complex anomaly where the aorta attaches to the right side of the heart while the pulmonary artery attaches to the left. This incongruity disrupts the circulation of oxygenated blood within the body. Notably, TGA affects only one in every four thousand live births and often eludes detection during pregnancy.Jo's narrative unfolds as she recounts the poignant moment when her plans for a home birth dissolved into the stark reality of laboring within the confines of an ambulance. She describes her postpartum moments of cradling her newborn daughter before relinquishing her to the surgical team, and delves into the trials and tribulations of the breastfeeding journey, underscoring the indomitable spirit that she, her partner, and their resilient baby summoned to surmount these challenges.Jo's story is a beacon of encouragement and a wellspring of inspiration for families navigating the turbulent waters of heart parenthood. Through her compelling narrative, she extends a comforting hand to reassure others of the unwavering support within the heart community. Furthermore, she highlights the remarkable strength and resilience that reside within the spirit and character of these special infants. Join us for a stirring conversation that sheds light on the power of love, hope, and strength in the face of adversity.**********Down to Birth is sponsored by:Needed -- Optimal nutritional products for before, during and after pregnancyModern Nursery--Your one-stop shop for eco-friendly, stylish baby gearDrinkLMNT -- Purchase LMNT today and receive a free sample kit.Love Majka Products -- Support your milk supply.Silverette Nursing Cups -- Soothe and heal sore nipples with 925 silver nursing cups.Postpartum Soothe -- Herbs and padsicles to heal and comfort.Connect with us on Patreon for our exclusive content.Email Contact@DownToBirthShow.comInstagram @downtobirthshowCall us at 802-GET-DOWN Work with Cynthia: 203-952-7299 HypnoBirthingCT.com Work with Trisha: 734-649-6294 Please remember we don't provide medical advice.

Birthkeeper and cannabis advocate, Sydney Parlier, joins Sammy for a conversation about cannabis use for preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum. She touches on the current conflating evidence about plant medicine & pregnancy, who may benefit from mindful use of cannabis, and her personal experience with marijuana during her current pregnancy. Sammy and Sydney also unpack the stigma surrounding certain drugs and not others, and why glorifying the over-consumption of cannabis is harmful to the larger advocacy conversation.In this episode:Sydney's ever changing relationship with cannabis Cannabis use during pregnancy, birth and postpartum: safety & legalityAncestral consistency of plant medicineExamining your own stigmas: unpacking your relationship with other drugs you may be consuming (caffeine, food, etc.)Increased potency of drugs and tolerance: dangers of overconsumptionShow References:FREE Resource: The CannaBirth Method ✨5-Step Framework✨ for MomsFREE Resource for BirthworkersSponsor Info:Butcher Box | http://rwrd.io/bxy895l?cHeart & Soil Supplements | https://shop.heartandsoil.co/discount/AFFILIATE10?rfsn=7254256.3f378b&redirect=%2Fcollections%2FallSocial Tags:Follow SydneyInstagram: @cannabirthFollow Sammy Sniegowski:@samantharosewellnesssamantharosewellness.comsamanthaconrad.comFollow What The Fuck Is Happening:instagram.com/wtfh.podcast

On today's podcast, I talk with Tania Silva Meléndez  and Tamara Trinidad González, CPM, birth workers and Evidence Based Birth® Instructors about giving birth and midwifery care in Puerto Rico.   Tania Silva Meléndez  is a certified birth, postpartum, and abortion doula serving families in Puerto Rico since 2009. She's also a certified childbirth educator and breastfeeding/chestfeeding educator and counselor. She is the general coordinator of the team of Caderamen, a nonprofit community-based organization that works towards reducing inequalities in reproductive care, and she also supports Alimentación Segura Infantil, a community-based organization born after the impacts of Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017 to support breastfeeding and chestfeeding families in their lactation journeys, help them relactate their children when needed. Tania is also a human rights activist and advocate in her community and part of the Observatorio de Violencia Obstétrica in Puerto Rico and Las Mingas de Aborto, an abortion doula collective that offers free support in Puerto Rico.   Tamara Trinidad González, CPM, is a community parteira/midwife, perinatal educator and herbalist born and raised in Puerto Rico. Tamara is a mother of two children who were born at home with midwives and has been actively involved in birth work for 10 years. She holds a Master of Science in midwifery with foundations in botanical medicine from Bastyr University and is a certified professional midwife. Her midwifery and herbal practice is called Semilla Creciente, Midwifery & Herbalism.   In this episode, Tania and Tamara have a very candid conversation about the realities of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care in Puerto Rico. They speak to how Puerto Rico's birth landscape has been negatively impacted by the island's history of colonialism, economic crisis', environmental changes, and changes in political power. This has culminated in a system with far too few midwives and obstetricians, as well as high surgical birth rates, low VBAC rates, high prematurity rates, and more. Both Tania and Tamara educate our listeners on these issues but also raise awareness to the community organizations who have the trust of the pregnant and postpartum families they serve and the work being done to better support the families of Puerto Rico.   If you are interested in joining with Tania and Tamara and volunteering your time or skills to help them reform the maternal health system in Puerto Rico, they are currently looking for volunteers with experience in law, public relations, funding, data collection, research, and writing.

Hormone shifts and changes are inevitable for us as women. Aren't we lucky?! In all seriousness– I know you've felt these changes in your body.  Take your menstrual cycle, for example. One moment estrogen and testosterone rally together, and you feel on top of the world right before ovulation. Then, just a couple of weeks later, progesterone and estrogen plummet to the ground, and it can feel like everything in your body is working against you.  And then there's how your body feels when on hormonal birth control– which we'll discuss today. Or even during the long 10+ year perimenopause transition when everything is up in the air. Perimenopause is undoubtedly the most significant hormonal transition right after the ultramarathon that is pregnancy. And I would argue that perimenopause is the critical window that shapes our future health outcomes.  The truth is, how you take care of your body during the perimenopause transition can determine how you thrive for the rest of your life. So today, I invited Dr. Carrie Jones to share her insights on the new research concerning women after perimenopause, and what tools are at our disposal to set us up for success so we can extend our longevity.  We'll also discuss the new FDA-cleared, over-the-counter mini pill called the Opill– which is about to hit drugstores. We want you to understand all the options, concerns, and risks around an over-the-counter pill.  And lastly, we talk about how improving your metabolic health is the biggest lever you can pull if you want a healthy, thriving body and life– before, during, and after perimenopause. Although your body's changing a lot– even in menopause– there are adjustments you can easily make to reduce the symptoms you're dealing with. And that first step is assessing how well your metabolism is functioning– and then taking proactive steps to improve it.  Learn more about all of this today in my empowering discussion with Dr. Jones– so you can take charge of your hormones and metabolism to live the life you deserve.  Dr. Carrie Jones  Dr. Carrie Jones is a Naturopathic Physician, board-certified in Naturopathic Endocrinology with a Master's in Public Health. She's an internationally recognized speaker, consultant, and educator on the topic of women's health and hormones with over 20 years in the industry.  Dubbed the Queen of Hormones, Dr. Jones was one of the first to become board-certified through the American Board of Naturopathic Endocrinology. She was the first Medical Director of the DUTCH Test and the first Head of Medical Education at Rupa Health. She's the Chief Medical Officer at New Ethics Formulations and the Head of Medical Education at Metabolic Mentor University. IN THIS EPISODE What is the FDA-approved contraceptive mini pill– the Opill?  The side effects of the Opill and what to ask your pharmacist The Natural Cycles App and how to track your ovulation   Body awareness and normalizing the menstrual cycle  Birth control in perimenopause and into menopause Physical and hormonal changes during menopause Glucose monitoring and improving metabolic flexibility Lifestyle adaptations to reverse our inner age in perimenopause and menopause  RESOURCES MENTIONED Dr. Carrie Jones' Website | Dr. Carrie's Instagram!

There is a tremendous gap in our culture when it comes to preparing women for motherhood, particularly when it comes to their microbiome and nourishment. “Every mother desires a healthy child, but in this world it is not enough to just hope and pray for that outcome.

Chapter 1 What's Rites of Spring"Rites of Spring: The Great War and the Birth of the Modern Age" is a book written by Modris Eksteins. Published in 1989, it explores the cultural and historical context of World War I and its impact on society, particularly focusing on the intersection of art, culture, and politics during the early 20th century. The book emphasizes the role of the war in challenging traditional values and traditions, giving rise to modernist movements in art, literature, and music. Eksteins also discusses how the war fueled a sense of disillusionment, alienation, and a search for new meaning among the post-war generation.Chapter 2 Why is Rites of Spring Worth ReadRites of Spring by Modris Eksteins is worth reading for several reasons:1. Unique Perspective: Eksteins offers a fresh and unconventional perspective on the cultural, social, and political events of the early 20th century. He argues that the outbreak of World War I can be understood through the lens of cultural and artistic movements such as modernism, focusing on the impact of such movements on society at large.2. Cross-disciplinary Approach: The book combines elements of history, cultural studies, and art criticism to provide a comprehensive analysis of the era. Eksteins weaves together the fields of literature, music, dance, and visual arts, demonstrating how they all contributed to a profound societal shift that led to the war.3. Attention to Zeitgeist: Eksteins dives deep into the zeitgeist of the time, exploring the atmosphere of anxiety, uncertainty, and rebellion that characterized the prewar period. He highlights the radical changes in artistic expression and the challenges to traditional values, shedding light on the broader historical context that ultimately led to the conflict.4. Thought-provoking Insights: The book challenges traditional historiography and offers alternative perspectives on the causes and consequences of World War I. Eksteins argues that the war cannot be solely attributed to political or economic factors but should also be understood as a product of cultural transformation.5. Engaging Writing Style: Eksteins' writing is engaging and accessible, making complex concepts and theories understandable to a wide audience. He combines academic rigor with a narrative style that keeps readers engaged throughout the book.In essence, Rites of Spring is worth reading for its unique perspective, interdisciplinary approach, exploration of the zeitgeist, thought-provoking insights, and engaging writing style.

Starting with the 1925 Scopes Trial — also known as the "trial of the century" — we look at one of the most controversial topics in our time: the debate over evolution versus a Fundamentalist understanding of the Bible. It started with a substitute teacher in Tennessee who believed that evolution should be taught in the classroom. What followed was a fiery debate that rocketed around the world. From that moment on through to the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, we'll unpack the major moments of the movement denying climate change. Tell us what you think.

In Paul's letter known to us as “Ephesians,” Paul indicates an historical sequence by which his readers came to be included in the foreordained purposes of God. This and other insights arise as Matthew Bates, making a second appearance in our podcast series, takes us through a reading of the Greek text of Ephesians 1.

Today's personal story comes from Savannah Burton. She's the mother of two and the owner and therapist at My Memphis Therapist Counseling and Consulting. She is a University of Memphis alumnus and a postpartum anxiety advocate and survivor after experiencing different challenges with the birth of her two children. With a passion for maternal mental health, Savannah feels fortunate to live out her dream of helping others as a therapist and entrepreneur. She explains what it feels like to not like being pregnant, to feel hesitant about motherhood, and to be fearful about the decision to have a second child. Show Highlights: The truth: nothing can adequately prepare you for what to expect after the birth of your first child How Savannah experienced a dramatic birth, unplanned C-section, breastfeeding struggles, maternity leave issues, shame, guilt, and anxiety How she struggled to have a functional life and felt guilty if she prioritized self-care How a new job and a more relaxed schedule helped her learn to preserve herself How Savannah has learned to structure her work and home life to be present with her kids AND take care of herself How she navigated a second baby, COVID, and opening a therapy practice that was limited to telehealth during the shutdown Why Savannah loves helping other moms who don't feel “cut out” for motherhood What Savannah wants other moms to know about feelings of shame and finding support Resources: Connect with Savannah: Website and Instagram Visit www.postpartum.net for resources and support!  Visit www.postpartum.net/professionals/certificate-trainings/ for information on the grief course.   Visit my website, www.wellmindperinatal.com, for more information, resources, and courses you can take today!

A lot of heavy topics in the sports world this past week, so let's get a little more lighthearted and talk about some of my most embarrassing sports moments! Everybody wants to talk about the thrill of victory, but we can all agree the agony of defeat can be a lot funnier.  Let's get a little more detailed with one of the more formative moments of my life: trying to get Patrick Ewing's autograph! Who was wrong? Who was right? And how did it show me the true meaning of being a sports fan??? Then, I take y'all through the entirety of my soccer career. Luckily, it was only one ill-fated season. Let's talk about why! And what happened during that season that SHOULD have led me to Hollywood? Also, growing up in South Carolina, playing football is a rite of passage…but it shouldn't be! I've got the perfect story to explain why AND it ties into another story involving Nelly and my lifelong pursuit of fitness!  I finish up telling y'all about one of the many times I had to learn the lesson that it's more important to be smart than brave. It still hasn't quite sunk in yet, but we move!
