Podcasts about healthy babies

Your baby's health starts with what you eat, but “eating for two” doesn't mean doubling your calories. In this evidence-based episode, I break down exactly what you need (and what to avoid) for a healthy pregnancy, trimester by trimester. You'll learn the truth about calorie needs, recommended weight gain, and the most critical nutrients for your baby's brain, bones, and growth, from folic acid and choline to omega-3 DHA. We'll cover how to handle common pregnancy challenges like morning sickness, heartburn, constipation, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia risk, plus safe foods, supplements, and the ones to skip entirely. Whether you're in your first week or your final month, this is your no-nonsense guide to fueling a healthy pregnancy and preparing your body for labor and postpartum recovery.

In this episode of the School of Doza, we break down the science and strategies behind men's fertility—what affects it, what improves it, and why it matters just as much as female fertility. Nurse Doza shares five actionable ways men can improve sperm quality, hormone health, and pregnancy outcomes using nutrition, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplements.   5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Diet, especially Omega-3 intake, is critical for healthy sperm. Yoga improves hormone balance, circulation, and sperm DNA integrity. Excess weight and belly fat increase estrogen and reduce testosterone. Supplements like fish oil, carnitine, and vitamin D can boost fertility. Poor sleep reduces sperm concentration, motility, and hormone levels.   FEATURED PRODUCT Zen, featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function, helping lower cortisol and improve energy. Since stress and cortisol imbalance can suppress sperm production and hormone levels, Zen offers targeted support for one of the most overlooked areas of male fertility.

When discussing birth, we often hear the phrase, “As long as the baby is healthy, that's all that matters.” While this sentiment comes from a place of love, it can unintentionally dismiss the emotional, physical, and psychological needs of the birthing person. In this episode, we're diving deep into why birth isn't just about the baby—it's also about the person giving birth and the experience they have.We'll explore how the glorification of sacrifice in childbirth can lead to dismissive care, the emotional and physical consequences of a narrow birth focus, and how we can reframe birth goals to prioritize both safety and autonomy. Plus, I'll share actionable steps to help you advocate for a truly empowered birth experience.What You'll Learn in This Episode:✨ Why the phrase “as long as the baby is healthy” is limiting and dismissive✨ How medical care often prioritizes efficiency over the birthing person's holistic well-being✨ The emotional, physical, and long-term effects of a disempowered birth experience✨ How to create a comprehensive birth plan that includes emotional and psychological needs✨ The importance of choosing the right birth team and advocating for your preferencesActionable Takeaways:✅ Educate yourself on medical options and advocacy strategies✅ Hire a birth team that respects and centers your experience✅ Practice mindfulness techniques to prepare for a confident birth✅ Take a childbirth education class, like A Path to A Powerful Birth, to help you navigate your choicesYour birth experience matters. You deserve to feel heard, respected, and empowered—not just to have a healthy baby, but to walk away from birth feeling strong and supported.Resources Mentioned:Birth Preparation ClassesGuide to Creating a Birth Plan (preferences)Clear Your Birth Fears GuideGet 20% off your first monthly subscription with NEEDED Vitamins 

With special guest: Dr Vincent Ho… in conversation with Bill Kable This has been going on for a long time and until now people have been unsure as to what should be done. We are talking about allergic reactions which range from coughing and sneezing through to anaphylactic shock and even death. In his book The Healthy Baby Gut Guide, Dr Vincent Ho shows us a way to turn back the booming allergy outbreak. At the moment almost one in five Australian children have allergies which take the form of eczema, asthma, hay fever and severe responses to certain types of foods, think peanuts. Dr Ho tells us his passion for doing something about allergies arose when his own daughter became a patient. A parent feels scared and powerless when a child has an allergic reaction. And there is no shortage of advice, sometimes dubious about what should be done. At last there is some clear and authoritative guidance allowing a confident decision to be made about the good health of our children. Podcast (mp3)

This podcast has been close to three years in the making and is shared in celebration of Kirsten and baby Luca who is now one year old. Kirsten and I started working with one another back in August 2021. At that time she had a 4 & 7 year old and had experienced 5 miscarriages. Kirsten felt in deep her heart that her family wasn't complete. At the age of 43 and with five miscarriages behind her + consistently low thyroid function all the fertility specialists told her otherwise. That she was too old, that she would need IVF, that if she did get pregnant she would need to inject herself with medicine and take cortisone due to an apparent gene she had. Once again she knew otherwise. Her functional doctor told her to look at her emotions and Kirsten and I went on the wildest and most fascinating journey of continuing to change her physiology purely through processing emotions and coaching. Not only did she manage to have a healthy baby at the age of 43, it was without IVF and without the medications that some of the top fertility specialists told her she would need.

At the end of the third trimester, most expecting moms are over being pregnant and are beyond ready to meet their baby. If you're expecting or have had a baby, you can probably relate. Something else that the majority of these women will tell you is that even though they are so excited to meet their babies, they are also a bit afraid of labor and birth. We get it! Childbirth is unpredictable, and the unknown can be scary. We all want a healthy mom and baby, and a safe, positive childbirth experience. But why doesn't everyone get that experience? There are a lot of reasons to answer that question, but our latest guest, Gina Mundy, can answer this further. We had an engaging conversation with her that we believe every pregnant mama preparing for birth should listen to! Who is Gina Mundy? Gina Mundy is an attorney specializing in childbirth cases.

My guest for Episode #254 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Gina Mundy, author of the book A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth: Expecting the Best: Using the Power of Knowledge to Help You Deliver a Healthy Baby. Episode page with video, transcript, and more Gina is an attorney who specializes in childbirth cases. Throughout her career, Gina has traveled nationwide, engaging with healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, and midwives to explore all aspects of labor and delivery. Meeting with experts from various states, she has explored and analyzed the myriad of issues that can arise during labor and delivery, impacting both mother and baby. v Gina lives in Clarkston, Michigan, with her family (husband, kids, and dogs)… and she enjoys visiting wineries. Me too (the wineries part)! Join us as we embark on Gina Mundy's transformative journey from a legal expert in childbirth cases to a successful author. We explore how challenging circumstances, often derived from personal experiences, inspire noble feats like authorship, turning potential mistakes into powerful preventive guidance. Gina's book serves as an incredible testament to her efforts to help expecting parents bypass potential risks and navigate childbirth with ease. Dive into a discussion touching upon critical topics such as recognizing the signs of distress or complications early, understanding the impact of medications like Pitocin in childbirth, and the implications of labor after water breaks. Our guests underline the importance of being forewarned and forearmed, thereby uplifting childbirth experiences with informed decisions. And we'll hear about Gina's favorite mistake from her legal career, and decisions she made as a working mother -- how much does she regret those decisions today? Questions and Topics: Now 10 years later… was that a mistake?? What were the adjustments? What led to writing the book — and first learning about problems and mistakes that occur during childbirth?? What's the difference between naturally occurring bad outcomes vs. mistakes? Is that always clear? What are the most common problems that occur during childbirth? Does time of day matter? 5 pm Friday??? July? And how can people help prevent mistakes? Who gets sued, the resident or the attending?? How often does info from the legal case help drive improvement and prevention?

We're digging into safer childbirth and how to prepare for the birth of your baby. Years ago, when I had my children, no one was talking about doulas, midwives or how to advocate for yourself during childbirth. I remember taking a childbirth class and some Lamaze breathing with a coach, which was about it. I didn't know that if I wasn't happy with my care in the hospital, I could speak up. Fortunately for me, everything went well during the birth process for both my children (even though they were both born via c-section and labour was very long). Did you know that more than 250,000 people in the United States die every year due to medical mistakes? We are in charge of our health, and we have to advocate for what we need. Today, I'm excited to welcome Gina Mundy to the podcast. Gina Mundy is an attorney who specializes in childbirth cases. For over two decades, she has analyzed the mistakes made during labour and delivery. Drawing on this knowledge, she has authored the book A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) The most common problems that occur during childbirth and how YOU can help prevent them 2) Labour and delivery lingo you NEED to know to communicate with your delivery team 3) The RIGHT way to pick your doctor and hospital for a less stressful delivery 4) Tips for when your delivery team is NOT at your bedside 5) The EASY way to determine how your baby is doing at any point during labour 6) How to create the ULTIMATE birth plan for keeping both you and your baby safe --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Gina Mundy's Book | A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth: Expecting the Best: Using the Power of Knowledge to Help You Deliver a Healthy Baby https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9KFNPNQ/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   Ultimate Diet for Egg and Sperm Health - https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/the-ultimate-diet-for-egg-and-sperm-health   Want to Get Pregnant This Year - https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/want-to-get-pregnant-this-year   Top Fertility Supplements You Need To Get Pregnant This Year - Access your free guide here at www.suppguideffl.com   --- Where should I start to optimize pregnancy success?

Isn't it CRAZY that infertility rates and childhood disease rates are so high? Think about it... From a purely biological perspective, making a baby is one of the most natural things that two people could come together to do (it's how YOU got here and are able to now read this, after all).  While this is (understandably) a very emotional topic for many people out there attempting to start families, the good news is there IS hope. Our guest today, Leah Blondin, helps support people having healthy babies all the time! Leah is a former trial & error queen turned strategic health detective. She focuses on working with busy work from home women & mom's-to-be who want to best support their future babies & have optimal pregnancies and fantastic postpartum experiences. She was told her gut problems, anxiety & depression were “all in her head” until she became an FDN-P in 2017 & was finally able to get the bio-individual answers she needed to heal & stay well long term. She is passionate about smart, strategic supplementation & knowing exactly what you need & WHY you need it based off data and the scientific method. Leah is married with two children ages 2 & 5- both of whom were born at home & have thrived health-wise because of the knowledge from her FDN- P training. We hope that then information Leah provides inspires you to take positive action towards having a healthy baby if that's a path you're pursuing.

John Morrison, an attorney, former Montana State Auditor/Commissioner of Securities and Insurance, and long-time friend of Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies, joined us to speak about a donation he facilitated and helped award to HMHB this past summer. The generous contribution resulted from a settlement in a legal case John filed and won on behalf of more than 2,600 Montana businesses. Morrison proposed, and District Court Judge Leslie Halligan approved, a $50,000 donation to HMHB because our mission to improve the health and well-being of mothers, children and families aligned with the core of what this case was all about. We also get a chance to talk about John's life as a dad, what he and his wife, Cathy, learned along the way, and how incredibly proud he is of his two daughters. Stories hold their own power and John has plenty of examples of how listening and learning about the life of one person can better the lives of many.Show notes:To watch the incredible video of John Butler, two time cancer survivor, pull a firetruck across the fairgrounds in Sydney Montana as John describes in this episode, click here.To learn more about how the Commissioner of Securities and Insurance regulates the insurance industry in Montana and advocates for Montana consumers in disputes with their insurance company click here.Check out the Ralli App! https://letsralli.com/For statewide resources please visit the Linking Infants and Families to Supports athttps://hmhb-lifts.org/

Meet Megan, mom to 6-year-old Aurelia and 19-month-old Leonardo Iztali from Denver, Colorado. We connected with Megan via another DIAH mom, Marissa (whom we interviewed a few weeks before). Megan had sent a banner to Marissa to decorate her home in preparation for home birth. The same banner has made its way to other mamas since then, and Megan plans to continue to send it to friends as they want it. Besides supporting other women in their home birth journeys, Megan has an amazing story of her own. After having a great experience with her first birth in a birthing center, she felt inspired to move into home birth for the next time around. She says she felt empowered and knew a home birth was the next step.  In between Aurelia and Leonardo, Megan experienced a miscarriage at 10 weeks. Megan shares openly on the fear and guilt that crept in during that time, and how she embarked on a journey of forgiveness, back to grace, comfort and love.  By the time she was pregnant with Leonardo, Megan felt in full trust of her body, her baby and herself. She listened to the flow and went the whole pregnancy and birth almost completely unassisted. She did yoga, meditated, read, watched home births, created affirmations and playlists -- all to create the sacred space for her birth. Megan is a total inspiration. This episode has a lot of great quotes and mantras to pull from.

The B'more for Healthy Babies program in Promise Heights is a remarkable program in West Baltimore that has reduced infant mortality and improved other health outcomes for more than a decade. Stacey Stephens, the social worker who directs this effort for the University of Maryland School of Social Work, speaks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about this effort.  Joining them is Gisele Joseph, a community health worker and certified lactation consultant in the program. The secret to their success? It's not an app. It's not a quick fix. It's years of grassroots organizing and outreach.

In this episode, Liz speaks with Shazi Visram, entrepreneur, children's health advocate, and investor best known for founding Happy Baby Organics, a company that was ahead of its time. Instead of retiring after selling Happy Baby as initially intended, her mission to optimize early childhood health was reignited by her son Zane's autism diagnosis. Now, with her new company, Healthybaby, she's investing in a new standard for clean baby products. In this conversation, Shazi discusses her unusual path to entrepreneurship, gets real about the impact raising a child diagnosed with autism can have on parents, and offers research-based advice on how parents can create the safest, healthiest environments for their babies.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
