Podcasts about infants

I'm joined by Dr. Stephanie Culler from Persephone Biosciences, to uncover how your baby's gut microbiome is built from pregnancy through the toddler years and why it may influence everything from allergies and eczema to sleep, immunity, and lifelong health. We dive into what parents can do before conception, during pregnancy, at birth, and beyond to help build a healthier foundation for their children. Plus, how vaginal versus C-section birth affects the baby's gut microbiome and what you could do to support it either way, as well as how to best support your child through antibiotics. Stephanie Culler, Ph.D., is the co-founder and CEO of Persephone Biosciences, where she is pioneering microbiome-based medicines to transform human health. She is the lead author of the My Baby Biome study, the largest U.S. study to profile the infant gut microbiome, and her work spans applications from infant health to oncology. Stephanie earned her Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology and has authored more than 20 scientific publications and patents.Persephone Biosciences (Infant & Toddler Probiotics) Instagram: @persephone.bioUse code: HORMONES30 for a discount! Ways to work with Corinne: Join the Mind Your Hormones Method, HERE!

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, devoted wife, content creator, podcaster, published writer and author, IT extraordinaire, and an remarkable woman turning her powerful testimony into a masterpiece of redemption: AngelA little bit about Angel and what you can expect to hear about on today's episode:When most people look back on their childhood, they are flooded with tender memories. Those recollections feel like a gentle melody of innocence and love. For Angel, the melody was shattered before it could begin. Instead of fireflies and hugs, she remembers being a sad, terrified little girl shoved into cages, ritually abused in unspeakable ways, and forced to fight for her life in complete terror for thirteen relentless years. That is the childhood she carries. Yet from those depths of engineered darkness, Angel has risen as a living testament to the power of faith, resilience, and divine intervention.Born in 1996 into the ancient Reynolds bloodline, Angel's very existence was no accident. Her birth had been meticulously planned for over a century. Her maternal grandmother (a Reynolds) and step-grandfather were deeply embedded in high-level Rosicrucianism. While Angel's own parents were not occult practitioners, the bloodline's legacy reached her through her grandparents. Her distant cousin Nathan Reynolds has courageously shared parallel truths from the same volatile lineage on this very podcast. Angel's story stands unique: the occult did not come through her immediate parents, but through carefully orchestrated generational programming and military ties.Her birth itself unfolded under a strange and orchestrated shadow. As her mother went into labor and her father was struck with a severe, mysterious flu, her grandmother was the first to hold the newborn. In that moment, Angel was initiated into the occult. Soon after, doctors aligned with the same dark network extracted her DNA. She was cloned as an infant, switched out in a horrifying process that left physical evidence in her body. Her parents unknowingly took home the clone and raised it with flashes of what seemed like a normal childhood. The real Angel remained in captivity—first in her grandparents' basement, then transferred at around age six or seven to an underground military base where she would endure the next seven years.For years, Angel's memories were limited to scattered flashes from the clone's life above ground. Then at around age twenty-five, the programming began to fracture. Confusion, deceptive visions she mistook for “signs from God,” and relentless torment descended—she believed she was not fully human, that she was on a messianic mission, and that demons were raping and burning her alive every night. She was lost in deception.But God was not finished. What worked was a raw, relational breakthrough with Jesus. She saw Him as broken-hearted and righteously angry over her suffering. That vision dissolved years of resentment toward God and brought profound healing.Today, Angel lives in glorious freedom. She works successfully in IT, her intellect sharp and remarkable. She cherishes simple joys—Sanrio characters, time with her devoted husband and dogs, and caring for her body. Through her podcast Angel's Journey, her voice rings out like a powerful, attention-grabbing anthem of truth—unfiltered, compassionate, and full of hope. She speaks openly about satanic ritual abuse, underground captivity, the supernatural realm, cults, and the conspiracies that once held her captive, always pointing listeners toward the redemptive love of Christ.Angel stands as an extraordinary figure of resilience and faith. Her story moves hearts to tears and then lifts them in awe. It proves that no pit is too deep, no programming too strong, and no bloodline too cursed for the light of Christ to penetrate and redeem. She inspires survivors everywhere: healing is possible. Freedom is real. And chains can be broken. Angel is not defined by the cages or the darkness. She is defined by the light she now carries and freely gives. Her courage, her voice, and her unwavering stand make her a beacon of hope and an inspiration to all who hear her testimony. Her journey continues to set captives free—one testimony, one prayer, one beautiful day at a time. CONNECT WITH ANGEL: YouTube: @AngelsJourneyPodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@angelsjourney1.0

Be sure to listen to Melanie Luttrell's powerful new update at the beginning.In this powerful episode, Marcus and Melanie sit down with Monica Kelsey, founder and Executive Director of Safe Haven Baby Boxes, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing infant abandonment by providing mothers in crisis a safe, legal, and anonymous option to surrender their newborns.Monica's journey is deeply personal. Born after her teenage mother was raped and hidden away during pregnancy, Monica was abandoned at birth. Her life story has fueled her passion to advocate for infants like herself and to create compassionate solutions for birth mothers who face unthinkable challenges. Through Safe Haven Baby Boxes, Monica is on a mission to ensure that no child is abandoned unsafely, and no mother is left without options.We also explore Monica's role as a firefighter and paramedic, where she has firsthand experience with the life-saving impact of Safe Haven laws.

(6:43 )• I joined [the U.S. Navy] and got my love for firefighting there. (7:47)• I never longed for love. (8:42)• I just called [my biological mother] and she says “I've been waiting for your call.” (11:37)• I always wanted that connection of “Hey, she does that, and I do that.” (12:38)• The question comes up: “Who's my biological father?” And she just got up and walked out. (12:41)• If abortion was available in 1972, I probably wouldn't be sitting here today. (14:37)• I had to come to grips with the fact that I was whisked into this world by violence, and then thrown away like trash.

Welcome to our July Breastfeeding Q&A episode! We open with a conversation about what surprised women most about breastfeeding (for better or worse) after all the things they'd heard from others, from pain and emotional shifts to supply, pumping, and expectations that didn't match reality.Additionally, we answer the following questions:I'm pregnant and still breastfeeding my toddler. What should I know about tandem nursing, and how do I prioritize a newborn without creating oversupply?My newborn had low blood sugar readings in the hospital and we were encouraged to use donor milk. Was that necessary, and would things have resolved differently outside that setting?I experience waves of anxiety, nausea, and sadness right before letdown. What is this and is it normal?As usual, we lead into a round of quickies including: can latch change during teething, how to manage nipple sensitivity during your cycle, does milk supply drop when baby starts sleeping longer stretches, should you always nurse from both sides, is one breast doing all the work okay, do breastfed babies need vitamin D, and when is it okay for baby to sleep through the night. We wrap with a personal question which is: What advice would you give to someone entering the industry?#364 | When Co-Sleeping Gets Complicated: Weaning, Toddlers, and Sleep Transitions with Tiffany BelangerSend us Fan Mail Support the showAccess our workshops: Have a Physiologic Birth in the Hospital and Ultrasound: The Research vs RhetoricNeeded

Send us Fan MailCooling works at 36 weeks. At 35 weeks, nobody is sure. Ben brings a new Journal of Perinatology analysis of the National Inpatient Sample, covering 1.4 million infants from 2016 to 2022, asking what happens when therapeutic hypothermia is offered just below the evidence line. Cooled 35-weekers died at higher rates than cooled 36-weekers, but within the 35-week group, cooling changed nothing either way. Coagulopathy rose with cooling. Mediation analysis says it wasn't the cause. Ben and Daphna work through what that leaves us, and why shared decision making and careful documentation carry the weight here----Therapeutic hypothermia and in-hospital mortality in 35-week infants with encephalopathy.

In this episode, Augustine sits down with Rafia Islam, a midwife from Bangladesh with eight years of experience spanning refugee camps, mentorship roles, and one of Dhaka's busiest labor wards. Rafia walks us through her training, her path from data collector to midwife, and what a 12-hour night shift with 13 deliveries actually looks like.The conversation turns to the realities shaping birth in Bangladesh: a cesarean rate as high as 80% in some private hospitals, the financial incentives driving unnecessary surgery, and the coercion many families face in the delivery room. Rafia also shares why midwives are legally barred from home birth in Bangladesh, how the country's neonatal mortality rate has dropped dramatically since 2000, and a harrowing memory of delivering a baby during a hospital fire.This is a candid look at what it means to fight for autonomous, respected midwifery care in a system still learning what a midwife is for — and a reminder that no matter where you practice, the work of holding space for birth looks remarkably the same.

Many therapists are curious about working with infants but feel intimidated by the responsibility, the training, or simply not knowing where to start. In this episode of The Fully Booked Therapist Podcast, I sit down with craniosacral therapist Lori Hendrickson, who has spent more than two decades specializing in infant care and teaching healthcare professionals how to confidently work with babies and families. We discuss why conditions like plagiocephaly, torticollis, reflux, and feeding challenges have become increasingly common, what role movement plays in infant development, and how simple bodywork approaches can help babies become more comfortable in their bodies. Lori also shares her philosophy of treating the mother and infant as a dyad, why infant bodywork doesn't need to be intimidating, and how therapists can confidently expand their practices to include babies and families. If you've ever considered adding infants to your practice but felt uncertain about taking that step, this conversation offers practical insights and encouragement from someone who has dedicated her career to helping both babies and the professionals who care for them. ABOUT LORI Lori has practiced Craniosacral Therapy (CST) since 2001, supporting infants and families while training healthcare professionals across the U.S., Canada, and internationally. She specializes in helping infants with feeding difficulties, oral ties, reflux, torticollis, plagiocephaly, digestive issues, and body tension. Her parent-centered approach includes teaching gentle fascia release techniques families can use at home. Lori collaborates with IBCLCs, midwives, therapists, chiropractors, and oral release providers worldwide. Her work is focused on individualized, collaborative care that supports better feeding, sleeping, breathing, and long-term outcomes for infants.   **This podcast is not medical advice and is not a substitute for consultation with an appropriate medical professional.

Send us Fan MailIn this retrospective single-center study from Toronto, Adrianne and Nim explore the echo findings of preterm infants with septic shock and hypoxemic respiratory failure. Contrary to the common assumption that elevated pulmonary vascular resistance drives hypoxemia in sepsis, the data points to left ventricular dysfunction as a key contributor. Babies with hypoxemic respiratory failure showed lower LV systolic and diastolic performance, while pulmonary pressures were similar between groups. Mortality was significantly higher in the hypoxemic group. This challenges the reflex to reach for nitric oxide first and asks clinicians to look at the whole heart.----Cardiopulmonary Physiology of Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Among Preterm Infants with Septic Shock.

Improving maternal and infant health outcomes requires more than quality clinical care, it takes strong partnerships, community engagement, and a commitment to addressing barriers that extend far beyond the exam room.  Today, Denise Hanisch, chief medical officer for the South Dakota Department of Health, discusses the state's maternal and infant health priorities, including postpartum care, safe sleep initiatives, fatherhood engagement, and efforts to reduce disparities affecting American Indian families. She also explains how South Dakota is using data, workforce development, and rural health investments to strengthen care for mothers and babies across the state.  Later, Sanaa Akbarali, senior director of maternal and child health at ASTHO, highlights lessons from the Region 7 Maternal Health ECHO Summit. She explores how public health agencies, healthcare providers, community organizations, and families are working together to address workforce shortages, expand access through telehealth, support community-based care models, and ensure that lived experience helps shape maternal health policies and programs.Women, Infant, and Family Health | ASTHOThe Mutual Advantage: How Graduate Assistants Elevate Academic Health Department Partnerships

A judge ruled 38-year-old mom of 6, Precious Bland, was not guilty by reason of insanity, for drowning her 15 month old daughter Emii and then stabbing her husband and teenage daughter. Bland chose a bench trial over a jury trial and there are now calls for the judge who made the ruling to be impeached. The prosecution maintained that Bland’s defense of Covid Psychosis was fabricated, that she was actually upset because she believed her husband was having an affair. We not only discuss this shocking case, but also go into several well documented cases of post covid psychosis which includes people suffering from paranoia, delusions and hallucinations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
