Progesterone is one of the most important hormones for fertility, healthy ovulation, and sustaining early pregnancy, yet so many women are never taught how it actually works.In this episode, Dr. Leah and Dr. Morgan sit down with fertility nutritionist Sophia Pavia to break down the truth about low progesterone, luteal phase defects, ovulation quality, and why so many women today are struggling with hormone imbalances, infertility, and pregnancy loss.We unpack how progesterone is made, why ovulation is essential for healthy hormone balance, what “unopposed estrogen” really means, and the signs your luteal phase may need support. Sophia also explains why conventional medicine can be hesitant about progesterone supplementation, when it may be appropriate, and how nutrition, stress, blood sugar balance, and cycle tracking can help support stronger ovulation and healthier progesterone production naturally.If you're trying to conceive, navigating recurrent loss, or simply want to better understand your hormones, this episode is packed with practical education and empowering insight.00:00 Intro + Sophia Returns To The Podcast01:24 Why Low Progesterone Matters for Fertility02:34 Why So Many Women Struggle with Progesterone Today13:17 How PCOS, Endometriosis & Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Affect Progesterone15:49 How Progesterone Is Actually Made in the Body19:59 Estrogen vs Progesterone: What Balance Really Means25:49 Can You Have a Weak Ovulation?33:40 Egg Quality vs Progesterone: Which Comes First?35:24 Why Doctors Often Hesitate to Prescribe Progesterone41:59 When Progesterone Supplementation May Help46:16 Signs Your Luteal Phase Needs Support47:56 How to Support Progesterone Naturally50:42 Where to Find Sophia + Final EncouragementResources From This Episode:Sophia's Website - https://www.ttcnutritionist.com/Follow Sophia on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ttc.nutritionistOther Related Episodes:Episode #31: The Power of Progesterone - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healthy-as-a-mother/id1663942916?i=1000625679300Episode #108: Surviving a Ruptured Ectopic Pregnancy with Sophia Pavia - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healthy-as-a-mother/id1663942916?i=1000703730128Healthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

Tongue ties are one of the most misunderstood topics in infant feeding and airway health and many parents are left confused, dismissed, or unsure what to do next.In this episode, Dr. Morgan sits down with IBCLC and craniosacral therapist Lynnelle King to break down the difference between babies who are simply “tight” versus babies who are truly tongue tied, why oral function matters far beyond breastfeeding, and how ties can impact everything from milk transfer and nipple pain to palate development, breathing, sleep, and long-term airway health.They discuss common signs of oral ties, including clicking while nursing, blistered lips, white-coated tongues, poor milk transfer, gas, tension patterns, and recurring breastfeeding struggles. The conversation also dives into craniosacral therapy, fascial tension, healing after tie releases, timing of releases, and why individualized care matters so much for both mom and baby.This episode is packed with nuanced discussion for parents trying to decide whether bodywork alone is enough, when a release may actually be necessary, and how to better advocate for yourself if you feel something isn't right with your baby's feeding experience.00:00 Trailer + Intro00:42 Why Tongue Ties Matter02:55 Meet IBCLC Lynnelle King05:40 Finding Lactation Support Before Birth07:48 What Craniosacral Therapy Is11:04 Tight vs Tied Explained12:37 Are Tongue Ties More Common Today?14:00 Airway Health & Modern Facial Development15:38 Early Tongue Tie Releases17:03 Why Tie Releases Aren't a Quick Fix18:44 Long-Term Effects of Tongue Ties21:06 Common Signs of Oral Ties22:24 High Palates & Airway Development25:10 Understanding Fascial Tension32:32 Can Bodywork Alone Fix Tongue Ties?35:22 Why Lynnelle Only Did Bodywork for 4 Years36:36 Are Tongue Tie Releases Harmful?37:50 Why Some Tie Releases “Don't Work”41:35 How Tongue Tie Healing Actually Works44:47 How Providers Assess Tight vs Tied46:32 Best Timing for a Tongue Tie Release53:37 The Ideal Window for Treatment56:32 What Happens If You Wait Too Long58:29 Why Early Lactation Support Matters63:00 The Mental Health Impact of Feeding Struggles64:47 Trusting Your Mother's Intuition65:28 Final Thoughts & ResourcesResources From This Episode:Breath by James NestorIntake Magnetic Airway StripsStrolling Under The Skin YouTube VideoLynnelle's team at Family SeasonsFollow Lynnelle on InstagramOther Related Episodes:Episode #12: A Deep Dive into Tongue and Lip TiesEpisode #133: Low Milk SupplyHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

Birth preparation is often focused on the physical side of labor, including breathing techniques, birth positions, and what to expect during delivery. But for many women planning an unmedicated birth, the biggest factor influencing their experience is not physical at all.In this episode, we explore birth mindset and how your mental and emotional state can impact labor, pain perception, and your overall birth experience. If you are preparing for an unmedicated birth, learning how to shift from control into surrender may be one of the most important skills you develop.We discuss how modern culture conditions women to fear birth and how those beliefs can show up during labor. We also explore why high-achieving and type-A women often struggle more during birth, not because they are unprepared, but because they are wired to rely on control in situations that require trust and surrender.You will learn how mindset influences the body's natural ability to give birth, including the role of stress, fear, and the nervous system. We also introduce the concept of the "birth goddess" and explain how understanding the intuitive process of labor can completely change the birth experience.This episode also unpacks the balance between preparation and surrender, and how your environment, support system, and energy in the room can either support or disrupt labor.0:00 - Trailer and Introduction1:55 - Why Birth Mindset Is Overlooked3:00 - How Culture Creates Fear Around Birth5:00 - Birth Is Mental and Physical7:00 - Why We Fear Pain9:00 - The Missing Rite of Passage in Modern Birth11:00 - Birth as Transformation13:00 - Why Control Makes Birth Harder15:00 - The Birth Goddess Concept18:00 - Surrender vs Control21:00 - Preparation vs Surrender24:00 - Why Knowledge Still Matters27:00 - The Role of Your Support Team30:00 - What a Spiritual Epidural Means34:00 - How Environment Affects Labor38:00 - Why High Achievers Struggle More42:00 - Masculine and Feminine Energy in Labor46:00 - Trust and Letting Go50:00 - Rewiring Beliefs About Birth55:00 - Preparing for the Unexpected58:00 - Staying Grounded When Plans ChangeResources From This Episode:Dr. Morgan's Pregnancy Call LessonsHealthy As A Mother Epidurals EpisodeLabor Like A Goddess bookRent Tent book Healthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

Detoxing before pregnancy is one of the most misunderstood topics in the health space. In this episode, we break down what detox actually means in the body, why it matters for fertility, and how to approach it safely without creating more harm than good.You'll learn how toxins impact hormones, ovulation, and pregnancy, and why your body's ability to eliminate toxins matters more than simply “detoxing.”We also walk through the most important systems involved in detoxification including the liver, lymphatic system, and organs of elimination, plus the biggest mistakes people make when trying to detox while actively trying to conceive.If you've ever wondered whether you should detox before pregnancy, this episode gives you a clear, realistic framework.0:00 Trailer & Introduction 2:44 What Is a Toxin?

What if the tension you feel in motherhood isn't about your decisions… but about your boundaries?In this episode, we break down one of the most overlooked skills women need to navigate pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood: setting boundaries with family, friends, and outside opinions.From pressure around home birth to unsolicited advice from parents and in-laws, this conversation unpacks why boundaries feel so hard, what they actually are (and aren't), and how to confidently take your power back without damaging your relationships.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by opinions, pressure, or expectations around motherhood… this episode will shift how you see it.00:00 Trailer & Introduction01:33 Why Boundaries in Motherhood Feel So Hard02:54 What a Boundary Actually Is (and What It's Not)06:42 Why Most Women Misunderstand Boundaries07:38 The Power of Controlling Your Response (Not Others)09:22 Real-Life Example of Healthy Boundaries11:07 Why Boundaries Protect Relationships (Not Damage Them)13:37 Should You Communicate Boundaries Ahead of Time?16:29 Handling Strong Disagreements (Vaccines, Parenting Choices)18:24 Why Parents Struggle to Let Go of Control21:16 What Happens When You Set Boundaries for the First Time22:36 Why Consistency Is Everything24:48 Becoming a “New Version” of Yourself in Relationships28:40 Communication Frameworks That Actually Work30:10 Birth Choices and Family Pressure Explained33:26 Real Story: Shifting Beliefs Around Home Birth34:51 How to Respond to Extreme Pushback37:43 Who Gets to Be at Your Birth (and Who Doesn't)41:30 How to Communicate Firm Boundaries Clearly44:46 Why Waiting for Birth Can Create Stress48:37 Postpartum Boundaries and Baby Handling51:38 Scripts for Setting Boundaries Respectfully53:18 Why Women Struggle with Boundaries More Than Men56:30 The Deeper Root: Fear of Rejection and Losing Connection57:37 The Role of Intuition and Safety (Gift of Fear Insight)01:00:00 Final Thoughts: Boundaries as EmpowermentResources Mentioned In This Episode:Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life: Life-Changing Tools for Healthy RelationshipsHome Birth StatsThe Gift of Fear: And Other Survival Signals That Protect Us from ViolenceDr. Morgan's Pregnancy Call LessonsHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HAAM and save 10% at FondUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER

In this episode of Healthy As A Mother, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood parts of IVF: embryo selection.Because here's the truth most people don't realize…Even today, many IVF labs still rely on visual grading methods developed over 50 years ago to choose which embryo becomes your baby. And that could be the reason so many “perfect-looking” embryos fail.Today, Dr. Leah sits down with Cara Wells, PhD, a reproductive physiologist and founder of a groundbreaking fertility technology that uses non-invasive video analysis to assess embryo health in real time.Instead of just looking at embryos… Her technology measures how they behave.And what they've discovered could completely change IVF outcomes.0:00 Trailer + Intro0:55 Meet Cara Wells, PhD + Her Background2:15 The Problem with IVF Embryo Grading6:25 Why IVF Feels Like a “Black Box”10:47 The Technology That Inspired a Breakthrough13:04 How Embryo Video Analysis Works18:15 Why This Technology Matters for IVF Patients20:49 Can We Improve Egg + Sperm Quality?22:20 Why “Perfect” Embryos Still Fail24:36 What Animal Research Reveals About Fertility29:15 Why Animal Health Research Matters for Humans32:12 What This Tech Reveals About Sperm Quality40:25 How This Impacts Endangered Species47:35 The Rhino Fertility Discovery53:02 What Animals Reveal About Human Conditions59:35 PGT Testing vs Non-Invasive Embryo Testing1:03:25 How to Learn More + Closing ThoughtsResources From This Episode:Dr. Leah's Womanhood Wellness MembershipEmgenisys WebsiteCara Well's LinkedInHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HAAM and save 10% at FondUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER

Mental health is often treated like a guessing game, but what if we could actually see what's happening in the brain?In this episode, Dr. Steve Rondeau, founder of Axon EEG Solutions and author of Think Like a Brain, breaks down how brain-based data is changing the way we understand mental health, postpartum struggles, and behavior in both women and children.We dive into why traditional diagnoses often miss the root cause, how brain patterns shape your personality and responses, and why your environment plays a bigger role than you think. This conversation also explores a newly released study on hormonal birth control and antidepressant response, the concept of the “overwhelmed brain,” and how small shifts in your daily life can dramatically change your mental resilience.If you've ever felt like something is off but can't explain why, or wondered why one season of life feels manageable while another feels overwhelming, this episode will completely reframe how you think about your brain, your behavior, and your capacity.00:00 Intro 01:52 Why mental health is still a guessing game 03:40 The misdiagnosis that exposes a broken system 06:10 Can brain scans predict personality 09:30 Why people experience life differently 13:15 Birth control and antidepressant study 16:47 Why one-size-fits-all treatment fails 18:40 Why postpartum experiences vary 22:40 Your brain isn't broken your environment is 24:21 When symptoms don't match the diagnosis 26:40 The case that changed everything 29:10 Why root causes get missed 32:10 Are brain patterns genetic or learned 34:40 The 3 areas that shape mental health 37:40 Why you can't just push through 39:10 The overwhelmed brain pattern 42:10 The habit that regulates your nervous system 43:46 Why coping mechanisms make sense 46:40 Why normal brains don't exist 49:10 Parenting and relationships through this lens 53:10 What's normal behavior for kids 55:10 The parenting mistake most people make 58:10 Are screens rewiring our brains 61:10 How to find brain scan providers 73:31 Outro Resources From This Episode:Dr. Rondeau's Website - https://axoneegsolutions.com/Dr. Rondeau's Book: Think Like Brain Treating Manual - https://www.amazon.com/Think-Like-Brain-Treating-Manual-ebook/dp/B0GFXQK1DVFollow Dr. Steve Rondeau on Socials:Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/people/Dr-Steve-Rondeau/100068808602146/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-steven-rondeau-148aa421/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dr_rondeau_qeeg/Dr. Morgan's Pregnancy Call Lessons - https://milkmedicine.com/lessonsonly/Healthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HAAM and save 10% at FondUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER

Jack Barksdale inspires me about the next generations of music made , and especially here in Texas. A 17 yr. old folk/Americana singer/songwriter Jack started performing original music at the age of nine and has already shared the stage with Wynonna Judd, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Junior Brown, John Fullbright, and Hayes . He's definitely an “old soul” that paints his way into your mind with his prolific lyrics. He's headlining the inaugural Renegade Revival Music Fest May 17th at the Georgetown Palace Theater. And proceeds benefit HAAM of Austin helping musicians with healthcare.   Listen this week to our interview and you too will be inspired by this young Troubadour.   Originally aired 05/04/2025 on 95.3 FM KHYI the Range in Dallas, TX.

Continuing on with my podcast series in which I sit down and talk with my friends who do dope things, on this episode I get to sit down with one of the dopest, Coka Trevino! I have known Coka for some years through the music scene here in Austin, we both tend to like good musics and such, and I have watched her ascent in the Austin art community from the moment we met. She is a super trooper in this city, state and world, bringing people together and showcasing artists who she finds to be amazing, and helping to give them the platforms that they need and deserve in a city that hasn't always embraced everyone equally - though through the work of many it is getting much better now. Seeing Austin open up and diversify (slowly but surely) is a beautiful thing and I am so thankful for organizations like The Projecto and Big Medium (and DAWA, Epistrophy Arts, HAAM y mas) for all of the work that they put in. On this episode we talk with Coka about moving to Austin from Monterrey, Mexico and her history in both cities, the Austin Studio Tour, life in Texas and how good it can be despite it also being quite fxxked, all sorts of things that two friends might talk about. That's what we are doing here with Talk So Real. Please like, subscribe, whatever you do on the internet and/or your phone.

In spite of expectations of record demand throughout the summer, ERCOT is expressing confidence that it will be able to meet that demand. Experts say further diversity among power suppliers is the key to future reliability. Gas prices are continuing to rise past record highs - Austin's average gas price could hit $5 per gallon soon. Early voting continues through Friday in the primary runoffs - Texans who did not vote in either party's primary in March can vote, and have the choice of voting for either party's candidates. Amidst continuing staffing shortages that threaten Austin's public pool opening schedule next month, current lifeguards are keeping up the pressure for a pay raise. Delays in security screenings at ABIA have crept back up - lines were out the door again over last weekend. HAAM - the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians - is seeking a $1 million allocation from Austin's city budget to cover funding shortfalls. Austin has been ranked the #4 best city in the U.S. in which to start a career, and #2 in Texas for our quality of parks. Meanwhile Williamson County has been named the richest county in the state measured by median income, which is now over $87,000 per year. A UT Tyler study has found marijuana legalization to be more popular in Texas than any of our top elected officials. The former home of Austin Java, and more recently the Barton Springs location of Ski Shores, has been re-opened by McGuire Moorman Lambert as their second location of Lou's. The September 10 visit by Alabama to Texas at DKR may be an early game, with a kickoff time of 11am. NFL legend and Westlake Chapparal Drew Brees has been shown the door at NBC after only one season as an analyst. And Gorillaz has announced a local show, at the Moody Center on September 30.

Local COVID hospitalizations are now very close to crossing into Stage 4 range, but dropping slower than previously expected - the Omicron subvariant BA.2 could be a factor. University of Texas faculty are alarmed at Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick's comments about The Liberty Institute - a new conservative-backed think tank at UT - and worry that it is aimed at suppressing the accurate teaching of history. Austin Water has been flushing lines in south Austin after residents complained of foul smelling and tasting water - it apparently has nothing to do with the recent boil-water notice. Capital Metro expects to restore local transit service to full capacity by late this summer. Austin Bergstrom International Airport saw its fourth-busiest year in 2021 and its busiest December ever at the end of last year. Houston's Fajita Pete's opens it first Austin location with goals to open five more. The Health Alliance for Austin Musicians or HAAM has purchased an office building on South First and expects to open it by this fall. The DeLorean sportscar is making a comeback as an electric vehicle and its HQ will be in San Antonio - Austin is a possibility for the location of DeLorean manufacturing. Nine local craft brewers take gold medals in the first Texas Craft Brewers Cup with Black Star Co-op winning Best Small Brewery and Real Ale Brewing winning Best Large Brewery. And a cold front is inbound, cooling down our Friday, prior to a weirdly warm Monday and Tuesday next week.

On today's episode, I'm joined by recording engineer/producer and one of the founding members of Austin's psychedelic rock/ cosmic soul band, Curtis Roush of The Bright Light Social Hour. Curtis and I talk about music and the formation of TBLSH, his experiences with Austin organizations, HAAM and SIMS and how his band went to band therapy at one point to support them with mental health, as well sharing stories from our personal experiences with psychedelics. Over the last 16 years, Curtis has experienced highs and lows, and his vulnerability and openness to share his personal journey with mental health, led to me sharing one of my personal stories that I've never shared publicly until now. I want you to know that this was something I didn't necessarily plan on sharing but the timing in the moment felt right, and I'm grateful to Curtis for not only being an advocate for women, but being able to go there in our conversations and address issues like this head on.Please enjoy this very special episode with Curtis Roush of The Bright Light Social Hour, and if you could please rate, leave a review and share this episode with others!Guest: Curtis RoushInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/curtisroush/Band: https://www.instagram.com/tblsh/Website: https://www.thebrightlightsocialhour.comMake sure to tune in every Wednesday to watch new episodes of “Concert Queen Connect” and make sure to ‘like' and ‘subscribe' to our YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNiyZMWKbK2pH4J2rdj69Q?sub_confirmation=1Host: Clarissa CardenasIG: https://www.instagram.com/atxconcertqueen/ Website: http://www.theconcertqueen.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theconcertqueenVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Concert-QueenListen to our podcast:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/concert-queen-connect/id1538535270Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6y3m5SLW5CnBvBpvh7cXgT?si=dN1Vlr9eQf2diQFrPIffugProducer: Steve Souza (http://www.souzamedia.com)IG : https://www.instagram.com/the.souz/
