Maternity care in the United States needs a re-boot. Our induction rates are rising, our c-section rates are rising, pregnancy complication rates are rising, fertility rates are declining, postpartum depression rates are rising...the list goes on.What are we going to do about it?Most people see the answer as simple: more pharmaceuticals, more technology, more "science".But what is science? The scientific method is quite simple: ask questions, make guesses at the answers, test our guesses, and then draw conclusions. Repeat ad infinitum. Most physicians and healthcare professionals aren't using their brains to their full capacity because they are too occupied documenting, billing, and following rules. This will get us nowhere...We need to be curious and start asking hard questions.Furthermore, do physicians hold the answer to our maternity woes? Unlikely. In fact, I would argue that a multi- or transdisciplinary approach to maternity care, with midwifery-led care becoming the default in any country is a major part of the solution. Born Free Method: The Podcast is hosted by Nathan Riley, MD, a dual board-certified OBGYN, and the conversations here extend beyond the hospitals, beyond the clinics, beyond the profession of "medicine". It implores you to get back to what matters most: birthing families. On this podcast, you'll enjoy conversations with those inside and outside the medical industrial complex. You'll enjoy clinical summaries of ACOG's practice bulletins (formerly heard at the Obgyno Wino Podcast). You'll enjoy personal essays from Nathan himself on the nature of birth(work). And you'll enjoy occasional recordings of guest appearances to the Born Free Method's twice monthly community calls.

Hey survivors, it's your girl, Abby Ayoola-Williams, and in our latest episode of How to Survive Society, we had an incredibly enlightening conversation with Nathan Riley, an OBGYN who's passionate about natural childbirth and empowering women through their birthing experiences.Nathan shared his journey from being a latchkey kid in Pittsburgh to becoming a doctor who challenges the status quo of the medical industry. He opened up about his childhood, his parents' work ethic, and how his upbringing fostered a sense of independence that later influenced his career choices.We dove deep into the world of childbirth, discussing the over-medicalization of the process and the importance of reducing unnecessary interventions. Nathan's experiences in Malawi and his exposure to different birthing practices shaped his philosophy on childbirth, leading him to advocate for a more natural and less interventionist approach.He also touched on the systemic issues within the healthcare system, particularly the disparities faced by women of color. Nathan's commitment to change is evident as he works alongside midwives and offers an alternative to the often impersonal and intervention-heavy hospital births.In addition, Nathan introduced us to the Born Free Method, an upcoming course designed to empower and educate expectant parents on their birthing options, emphasizing autonomy and informed decision-making.As a mother who has experienced both hospital and home births, I found Nathan's insights incredibly valuable. We discussed the importance of saying "no" when something doesn't feel right and the need for parents to trust their intuition when it comes to their children's health.This episode was a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of all the mothers out there, and the importance of advocating for a birthing experience that aligns with one's values and needs.

We've all felt the friction between holistic health practices and our modern medical systems and procedures (certainly as chiropractors we are quite familiar with it). One area where this friction is potentially felt the most is in the most sacred of human miracles: childbirth. How and when you have a baby these days can seemingly be dictated by every factor except what the mother is feeling or truly experiencing. Joining Dr. Lauryn this week is a guest who is working hard to empower mothers to take back their power and decision making, Dr. Nathan Riley.Dr. Nathan Riley is a board-certified home birth OBGYN and the founder of the Born Free Method, where you are emboldened to embody the essence of parenthood and experience birth on your terms. He's been through it all within his portion of the medical field and has an immense amount of wisdom to share from his experiences. During their conversation, Dr. Nathan first shares his path within the medical community, before he and Dr. Lauryn discuss who sets the policies in hospitals and how maternity care has developed over time in the US, why giving the mother choice is paramount to healthy outcomes, changing the medical system, and much more.Learn more about the Born Free Method program here.

In this solo-cast, I revisit a couple of common themese - and controversies - in the birth and "natural health" world. You aren't your body, so why are we investing ALL of our time and energy into "hacking" the physical? This tendency is no different or better than our outdated medical system's approach to birth with the promise alone of "healthy mom, healthy baby". Sara Rosser, CPM, and I created the Born Free Method as an alternative means to view this sacred process, and the various community members that have given birth after taking our program are a testament to us having found a better path forward. The waitlist for the Born Free Method is open!

When the unmistakable cry of a newborn fills the air, a father's life is forever transformed. Dr. Nathan Riley, OBGYN, joins us to share his deeply personal and professional insights on the sacred journey of birth and fatherhood. As men, we usually leap to solve problems, but Dr. Riley guides us through the subtle art of being present for our partners, underscoring the emotional, not just physical, transformation of childbirth. In an era where the paternal presence in the birthing room is evolving, we traverse the landscape of modern fatherhood, discussing how to offer strength like the banks of a river, allowing the divine flow of the experience to unfold.Amidst the visceral emotions of parenthood, Dr. Riley recounts his own poignant experience of loss and how it fueled his passion for compassionate care. Our conversation reveals the Born Free Method, which champions the idea of childbirth as a natural event rather than a medical emergency. We confront the healthcare system's quick-fix mentality and reimagine a birth process where interventions are minimized, and the bond between parents is fortified. The complexities of supporting a natural birth environment come to light, highlighting the indispensable role of oxytocin and the importance of preparing both the mind and space for this life-changing event.Dr. Riley's journey isn't just about new life; it's also about the constant interplay of strength and vulnerability in our relationships. We discuss the power of emotional availability and the need to make our partners feel seen and understood beyond societal beauty standards and superficial fixes. Emotional release, rites of passage, and the shared endurance that bonds us—these themes weave through our tales, from the rawness of Burning Man to the transformative pain of tattoos as a metaphor for childbirth. We invite you to deepen your understanding of these profound life experiences and join our holistic OBGYN community, where the conversation continues to empower and enlighten.Key Moments07:53 The Born Free Method: A New Approach to Pregnancy and Childbirth18:44 The Role of Masculinity in Childbirth23:43 Understanding the Role of Men in Childbirth25:59 The Shift in Men's Perspective on Childbirth26:31 The Changing Demographics of Parenthood27:17 The Challenge of Connecting Deeply with Your Partner29:38 The Power of Empathy and Understanding in Relationships32:11 The Impact of Cultural and Societal Expectations on Childbirth33:33 The Role of Men in Supporting Women During Childbirth35:10 The Role of Tattoos as a Rite of Passage36:12 Understanding the Pain and Trauma of Childbirth40:54 The Joy and Challenges of ParenthoodHow to reach Nathan

Absorb the essence of 'holding space' and its role in pioneering a fresh understanding of masculinity.

This was hard because “going with the flow” of hospital-based practice was providing him financial security. On the other hand, standing in his truth from having sat with over 1000 births and connecting with women and their families has provided him a lifestyle more in alignment with fatherhood, deepening his connection with his wife, and caring for people in the way that he had anticipated long before stepping into practice.Dr. Riley now focuses his time on upholding the traditional practice of midwifery. He supports midwives as a collaborative physician for midwives of all varieties in over twenty states. He is an advocate for home birth and still attends births for those in need. He boasts a C-section rate of
Episode #60- Privilege of Witnessing Death with Nathan Riley, MD Holistic OBGYN I had the pleasure of speaking with Nathan about his journey from as a traditional western medicine doctor and how being fired gave him the permission to become his authentic self and create Beloved Holistics and the Born Free Method. He shares his opinions on how to create more medical professionals like himself and how Americans have become uncomfortable with suffering, whether it be death or any type of pain. He explains how he sees these typically ‘dark' moments as a privilege to witness and the story that caused his perspective to shift. Speed bumps are often viewed as a negative thing by society, but all they really do is force us to slow down and take stock of a situation. Everyone has a story, but often we feel all alone in our speed bumps, like no one understands. Speed Bumps is a podcast where people can share their experiences in the hopes of building community.

One of the leading voices on birthing and raising a baby naturally, along with plenty of other holistic principles for Ob-Gyn medicine, is my guest on this podcast: Dr. Nathan Riley, of Beloved Holistics. Nathan is a board-certified obstetrician in California advocating for autonomous birth. Through his experiences as a hospice care provider he learned that choices around end-of-life care are no different from choices in birth: What matters is that mothers feel in charge of their bodies during their birth experiences. He argues that birth is much more than the standard metrics of vital signs, length of labor, fetal status, or any variable routinely measured in labor in the medical model of care. Nathan also recently launched his "Born Free Method," a course aimed at empowering expectant parents to take control of their birthing experience by making informed choices and advocating for themselves within the medical system. Joined by co-instructor Sara Rosser, CPM, Nathan's course provides guidance and support to help parents feel confident and supported as they navigate the transition into parenthood, emphasizing the importance of personal sovereignty and self-determination throughout the process (use code BEN10 to save 10% on the Born Free Method). Hear one courageous OB's perspective on his role in the birth process: Supporting your sovereignty and your choice without coercion or judgment. Finally, listen to the end of this podcast for a thought-provoking discussion on plant medicines and entheogens!

Sara Rosser, CPM, farm midwife, dear friend, incredible mother and wife...and badass birthkeeper is on the show! We are going to give you all the details on our upcoming Born Free Method course!We have both always been dissatisfied with the conventional maternity model but ALSO the available childbirth education courses...so we decided to build our own.We started with risks, benefits, alternatives to every intervention under the sun (including vaccines, ultrasound, vitamin K, TOLAC...everything), then we felt compelled to include radical responsibility, bioethics, and informed consent, then we felt the course needed a history of midwifery and women healers...and that still wasn't enough. We added lifestyle medicine and health optimization, detoxification, a whole unit for dads, a whole unit on cannabis, psychedelics, and other drug use. We then added in all of the typical attributes of childbirth education, such as coping, breathing, connecting to the baby...sprinkled in some exercises, meditations, and a bunch of other incredible resources, and BAM! The Born Free Method emerged!The course is self-guided, and it'll take you 8 weeks to complete. Purchase includes 12 months of weekly calls with me and Sara so that you feel completely supported in your pregnancy and postpartum transition.The waitlist closes in a week or so, so go jump on and book a call with us if you're interested: www.bornfreemethod.com .This is the lowest cost that you'll ever be able to buy the course, and you get lifetime access. It's for pregnant people, their spouses, and birthworkers...let's fucking go!
The transformation that comes with fatherhood can be a rite of passage into manhood...but there aren't a lot of great role models out there for men who want to be present and involved in the birth process. Unconscious men breed unconscious births and unconscious children. In my holistic, unconventional OBGYN practice, Beloved Holistics, PCA, I spend as much time with my pregnant clients as I do their partners to prepare them for this beautiful - though often scary - transition. In this podcast series, I want to bring the voices of strong, compassionate men into the room. Mike Gonzalez has quickly and quietly become a mentor and anchor point for me. He is the owner of Freedom Builderz, and he has been helping me to create my new course, the Born Free Method. Mike is also the father of 3 and always seems to be un-phased by the realities of entrepreneurship. In this interview, Mike shares insights in remaining centered as a parent and partner all while maintaining a rockstar level company. This interview was a necessary contribution to both my Born Free Method course along with any responsible guidebook to owning your masculinity while raising children through the rollercoaster of their development.
