Send a textIn this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Stephanie Culler, co-founder and CEO of Persephone Biosciences, to explore one of the most rapidly evolving frontiers in modern health science: the human microbiome. From early immune development to cancer therapy, the conversation reveals how the trillions of microbes living in our bodies may shape health in ways scientists are only beginning to understand.Dr. Culler's path into microbiome research began with a personal mission to understand disease after losing both of her grandmothers to cancer. Following her PhD at the California Institute of Technology, where she studied gene therapy approaches to cancer, she moved into industrial biotechnology and microbial engineering. That work eventually led her to co-found Persephone Biosciences, a company focused on translating microbiome science into real-world therapeutics and consumer health solutions.A major focus of the discussion centers on the infant microbiome and its role in shaping immune development. Dr. Culler explains how microbes transferred during birth and nourished through breast milk help “train” the immune system in the earliest stages of life. Yet modern research suggests that key beneficial bacteria—particularly Bifidobacterium infantis—have dramatically declined in Western infants. In large-scale studies conducted by Persephone, only a small percentage of U.S. infants carry adequate levels of this once-dominant microbe.The conversation also explores how microbiome balance may influence responses to cutting-edge cancer treatments like immunotherapy. Emerging research suggests that gut bacteria can significantly affect how patients respond to checkpoint inhibitors, opening the door to microbiome-based interventions that could enhance treatment outcomes.Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Stephanie Culler explain how microbiome science is transforming our understanding of immunity, disease prevention, and the future of medicine.Learn more about Persephone BiosciencesDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

In today's episode I sit down with professor Arthur Brooks to explore what actually makes a life feel meaningful in a culture obsessed with achievement, optimization, and measurable success. We talk about why happiness is more than a feeling, the difference between pain and suffering, how meaning is built through coherence, purpose, and significance, and why so many high achievers still feel empty. We discuss practical ways to resist the pressure to turn ourselves and our kids into “human doings,” and instead to just love ourselves are our children for who they are, not just for what they accomplish.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Guided Question Have I genuinely embraced spiritual maturity, or am I still living under the drives of spiritual infancy or willful carnality? Summary Dr. Lewis examines the essential difference between indwelling and control by the Holy Spirit, challenging believers to evaluate the authenticity of their faith. Using 1 Corinthians 3 and Romans 8, he differentiates between the “babe in Christ” (spiritually immature but growing) and the “carnal Christian” (willfully fleshly despite time invested in the faith). Through Scripture and a powerful personal testimony, he warns of the emotional emptiness—pain, numbness, and futility—that accompanies a spiritual walk dominated by the flesh. The message ends with a heartfelt appeal to pursue the “spiritual life”—marked by spiritual disciplines, transformation, and true peace—rather than settling for milk or stagnancy. Outline I. Life in the Spirit vs. the Flesh (Romans 8:9–14) Distinguishing believers by the presence of the Spirit. The call to put sin to death and live as God's children by the Spirit. II. Spiritual Infancy vs. Carnality (1 Corinthians 3:1–3) Infants in Christ: Growing, learning, not yet spiritually mature. Carnal Christians: Willfully controlled by the flesh, not progressing spiritually. III. The Inner Struggle: A Testimony A young believer's heartfelt confession of spiritual emptiness and conflict. IV. Maturity Through Discipline (Hebrews 5:12–14) Moving from milk to meat requires practice, discipline, and spiritual training. V. Final Challenge (Romans 8:5–6) Choosing between a mindset of the flesh (death) and a mindset of the Spirit (life and peace). Key Takeaways True spiritual maturity is more than surviving—it's being Spirit‑controlled, not just Spirit‑indwelt. Spiritual infancy is forgivable, but prolonged carnality reflects a serious choice of the flesh. Emotional and spiritual emptiness among believers can reveal deep internal conflict. God calls us to train our spiritual senses through disciplined practice and obedience. Peace, purpose, and transformation come when our minds are set on the Spirit, not the flesh. Scripture References Romans 8:9–14 – Life in the Spirit vs. life in the flesh. 1 Corinthians 3:1–3 – The contrast between spiritual infancy and carnality. Hebrews 5:12–14 – The call to grow from spiritual milk to solid food. Romans 8:5–6 – The consequences of mindsets set on the flesh versus the Spirit. Recorded 7/19/81

Jeff Dornik joins The Silk or Joe Show to discuss Canada expanding its euthanasia program to include infants and warns that the policy crosses the line from euthanasia into murder because the decision is being made for children who cannot consent. Dornik argues that the same progressive worldview driving abortion is now leading to infanticide and that once society rejects the belief that human beings are created in the image of God, governments begin deciding who has the right to live and who does not.Follow Jeff Dornik on Pickax - https://pickax.com/jeffdornik Tune into The Jeff Dornik Show LIVE daily at 7pm ET on Rumble.

In today's episode I sit down with professor Ann Masten to unpack what resilience actually means—and why it's so often misunderstood. We explore her powerful definition of resilience as the capacity of a system to adapt to serious challenges, not just a personality trait or inner toughness. From everyday stress to real adversity, we discuss the difference between harmful trauma and growth-building challenges, and why kids need support—not perfection—to thrive. We talk about the “ordinary magic” of caring relationships, schools, communities, and cultural traditions, and why resilience is built through connection across multiple systems.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

The American Academy ofPediatrics Safe Sleep recommendations play an important role in preventing these deaths and theABCs of safesleep.""A leading cause of infant mortality in Tennessee is preterm birth. Any infant born earlier than 37weeks gestation is considered preterm and is at higher risk for adverse outcomes, including death.""These are real children and real families, and unfortunately, far too often real tragedies, weneed to all work together to improve infant outcomes for families, communities, and the future ofTennessee." "Together we can help ensure that more babies born in Tennessee get to celebrate theirfirst birthday and many more beyond that."Show Notes by Barevalue.Add Show Notes HereNo content or comments made in any TIPQC Healthy Mom Healthy Baby Podcast is intended to be comprehensive or medical advice.

In this episode, I sit down with behavioral geneticist and professor Dr. Kathryn Paige Harden to talk about what behavioral genetics can actually tell us about our kids—and what it can't. We unpack the reality of psychiatric risk, family history, and the limits of control, and why genes are not destiny. We discuss how thousands of tiny genetic differences shape mental health, why diagnoses are messier than we think, and how warmth and firm boundaries still matter more than any “magic bullet.”I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Grief is... Real. Big. Better Shared Episode #49 Baptist Centers For Good Grief 

In this episode, the roles are reversed. Nicole Nyberg steps out from behind the microphone and into the guest seat as she joins Martha Sharkey on the NICU Today Podcast to share the story behind Empowering NICU Parents — and the why that continues to guide her work.What begins as a conversation about Nicole's journey into nursing and the NICU evolves into a deeply personal reflection on what happens when professional knowledge meets lived experience. As a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, Nicole believed she truly understood most things about the NICU — until her son, William, was born extremely premature and she found herself on the other side of the isolette.In this honest and reflective conversation, Nicole shares what it was like to navigate the NICU as both a provider and a parent, how that experience reshaped her personally and professionally, and what she came to truly understand about the emotional weight families carry during a NICU stay.This episode explores why family-centered care, parental presence, and meaningful parent education are not optional add-ons, but essential components of care that impact healing, confidence, and long-term outcomes for both babies and families.Whether you are a NICU parent, a clinician, or someone walking alongside families during one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives, this episode offers perspective, validation, and a powerful reminder that parents matter — and their presence belongs at the bedside.Dr. Brown's Medical: https://www.drbrownsmedical.com  The Infant-Driven Feeding™ (IDF) Program: https://www.infantdrivenfeeding.com/ Our NICU Roadmap: A Comprehensive NICU Journal: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicujournal/  NICU Mama Hats: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/hats/  NICU Milestone Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicuproducts/  Newborn Holiday Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shop/  Empowering NICU Parents Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shownotes/  Episode 79 Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/episode79  Empowering NICU Parents Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empoweringnicuparents/  Empowering NICU Parents FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringnicuparents  Pinterest Page: https://pin.it/36MJjmHThank you for listening to the Empowering NICU Parents Podcast.

A Growing Crisis Hidden in Plain Sight Winchester's family homelessness crisis looks nothing like what most people imagine. There are no tent encampments or visible street corners occupied by children. Instead, the crisis unfolds quietly in motel rooms, backseats of cars, and overcrowded apartments where families double up with relatives, desperately hoping their situation will improve. Chris Briganti, Executive Director of Family Promise Winchester Area, sits down with Janet Michael on The Valley Today to reveal a startling reality: 539 students in Winchester, Frederick, Warren, and Clarke County schools self-identified as homeless during the 2024-2025 school year. Since self-identification means the actual number is likely much higher, the scope of the problem becomes clear—family homelessness is Winchester's invisible emergency. "These families are not people you see on the street corner," Chris explains. "The families we are helping are your neighbor next door. They are your friends who you probably don't know about because they've gotten very good at hiding and covering it up. You would have no idea that it's your bank teller or the person checking you out at Walmart." From Growth to Impact: A Year of Transformation Family Promise Winchester Area has undergone significant changes since its inception in 2022. After beginning to serve families in 2023, the organization hired Chris as their first executive director in July 2025. Furthermore, they recently updated their name from Family Promise of Northern Shenandoah Valley to avoid confusion with their neighboring affiliate in Shenandoah County. However, the most remarkable transformation has been in their impact numbers. During all of 2025, Family Promise moved 28 families into new homes and prevented 13 evictions, serving approximately 80 children total. In contrast, by mid-February 2026—just six weeks into the new year—they had already moved seven families into housing and prevented 11 evictions, helping 45 children. That's more than half of their entire previous year's impact. "Data is everything," Chris emphasizes. "Not only is it important for advocacy, but I think one of the basic things we owe our donors and society as a nonprofit organization is to let them know where that money is going." The Help Us Move In Fund: Small Investments, Enormous Returns At the heart of Family Promise's success lies their "Help Us Move In" (HUME) fund, which provides direct financial assistance to families teetering on the edge of homelessness. The program's efficiency is staggering: it costs approximately $500 per child to secure stable housing. "Maybe they need help making the first month's rent, or maybe there's back rent and they've done everything," Chris explains. "Sometimes all we have to do is help with $500. Give that to the landlord for rental arrears, and then that family will never need assistance again." The fund recently received a transformative boost when Opequon Presbyterian Church donated $20,000 as part of their capital campaign. Chris admits he "almost fell out of his chair" when he opened the envelope. Every penny of that donation goes directly to landlords or utility providers—never into families' pockets—eliminating concerns about misuse of funds. Moreover, the organization carefully vets applicants, reviewing rent ledgers from the past year and analyzing family finances. They ask critical questions: Are families missing rent every month, or is this truly a one-time crisis? Are they spending responsibly? This scrutiny ensures limited resources go to families who will succeed with just a bit of help. The Invisible Population: Who Needs Help and Why Contrary to stereotypes about chronically homeless populations, Family Promise increasingly serves families who have never needed assistance before. These are federal contractors laid off from their jobs, workers who fell ill and couldn't maintain employment, or families facing the cascading effects of a government shutdown. "These are families that have worked a good job for a long time, who have never had to ask for assistance in any way, shape, or form," Chris notes. "But they lose their job—a lot of federal contractors have been laid off—or they get ill and can't work." Janet adds an important clarification: "I think that's a big misconception. The general public thinks these federal contractors are making multimillion dollars a year, and that is not the case. They are not making much more above minimum wage than the rest of us. They're living paycheck to paycheck, especially with cost of living going up so much." Additionally, these families often fall into a frustrating gap. They make too much money to qualify for traditional social services, yet not enough to escape the motel cycle, where families pay $2,000 monthly for temporary housing while being unable to save for first month's rent and security deposits on permanent apartments. The Devastating Impact on Children The conversation takes a sobering turn when Chris discusses the research on childhood homelessness. The statistics paint a grim picture of generational trauma and lost potential. Recent studies reveal that housing instability—even when families are "doubled up" with relatives rather than literally on the streets—produces effects on children comparable to outright homelessness. Meanwhile, a 2018 Minnesota study found that 36% of adults experiencing homelessness first became homeless at or before age 18. The physiological impacts are equally alarming. Infants born the year before or after their mother enters an emergency shelter show higher rates of low birth weight, hospitalization, and emergency room visits compared to other low-income infants. These children face increased risks of asthma, chronic illnesses, and developmental delays. When homelessness lasts more than six months, children from infancy to age four experience significantly higher risks of developmental delays and hospitalization. "How do you pay attention when you're hungry?" Chris asks. "How do you pay attention when you don't know where you're going to do your homework tonight? How do you pay attention when you're sitting in class wearing the same clothes you wore the day before?" Furthermore, emerging research in epigenetics suggests that environmental trauma can literally alter gene expression—changes that can then be inherited by the next generation. Childhood poverty costs the nation upwards of a trillion dollars annually, yet early interventions like Family Promise's programs deliver a four-to-nine-dollar return on every dollar invested. "When we invest early in these childhood interventions, which is what Family Promise is all about, we help stop a cycle," Chris emphasizes. "We all do better when children have a safe place to live." The Housing Crisis and Creative Solutions Winchester's affordable housing shortage presents one of Family Promise's biggest challenges. Nevertheless, the organization has built strategic partnerships with landlords and apartment complexes who understand their mission. These partnerships prove mutually beneficial. Landlords allow Family Promise families to move to the front of the waiting list, knowing the organization carefully vets applicants and provides ongoing case management. Some landlords even reduce rent slightly for families working with Family Promise, recognizing the reduced risk. "Landlords, that's huge for us," Chris says. "We're working with these families. We're keeping a tight eye on them, and so it limits risk for landlords." Looking ahead, Family Promise is conducting a feasibility study for a standalone shelter facility, though that goal remains years away. In the meantime, they're exploring leasing apartments directly to families to create a more immediate shelter program. Currently, families living in cars receive limited emergency assistance while the organization rushes to secure permanent housing. Beyond Housing: Comprehensive Support Services While housing assistance forms the core of their work, Family Promise offers additional support to address the secondary crises that often push families into housing instability. The organization provides up to $500 for vehicle repairs, recognizing that transportation access often determines whether families can maintain employment. They offer up to $250 for back property taxes and supply bus passes when needed. Additionally, they provide up to $300 per family for afterschool childcare, removing another barrier to employment stability. "All of this is designed to figure out what's that bump, get them over that hill, and then let them live smoothly," Chris explains. Faith-Rooted, Universally Welcoming Family Promise Winchester Area's relationship with faith communities reflects a thoughtful balance. The national Family Promise network originated in 1988 with founder Karen Olsen's rotating shelter model, where families moved between different church host sites—similar to how Winchester Area Temporary Thermal Shelter (WATTS) operates today for individuals. Church partners remain essential to the organization's funding and volunteer base, with Opequon Presbyterian's recent $20,000 donation exemplifying this support. However, while Family Promise is driven by interfaith values like compassion, love, and empathy, their programming itself remains secular. "We believe in compassion, love, empathy, helping the meek, but our programming itself is not faith-based," Chris clarifies. "We serve all families of all compositions. It doesn't matter what religion you are. There is no expectation that you'll have to go to church on Sunday in order for us to cover your rent." The organization defines family through the child's perspective: whoever the child sees as family is their family, regardless of composition. Any family with a minor child or expecting a child who lives in Winchester, Frederick, Warren, or Clarke County qualifies for services. How the Community Can Help As the conversation concludes, Chris issues a call to action for the Winchester community. Family Promise needs landlords willing to work with their families, volunteers offering even two hours of time, and financial donations of any size. "I'll get a check for $5 and people apologize, saying 'I'm sorry it's not more,'" Chris shares. "$5 makes a real difference. If you get a hundred people giving you $5, that's $500—that's one family we were able to prevent from an eviction." Beyond monetary donations, simple actions make an impact. Following Family Promise Winchester on Facebook and liking or sharing their posts helps algorithms spread awareness. Every share brings Winchester's "best kept secret" a little closer to the visibility it needs. For families needing assistance, the process starts at www.familypromisewinchester.org, where a program application allows quick assessment and entry into the case management system. Time sensitivity matters—many situations require immediate intervention. For everyone else—donors, volunteers, landlords, or simply concerned citizens—the website offers multiple ways to engage. The organization can be reached at (540) 323-8038 or info@familypromisewinchester.org. A Story That Needs Telling Perhaps the most powerful moment in the conversation comes when Chris describes a family currently receiving assistance: "The first thing the mother said to us is, 'We went from taking vacations to living in a motel.' All it took was an illness, a layoff, and that's where they are." This narrative shatters assumptions about who becomes homeless and why. It reminds listeners that family homelessness isn't about moral failing or poor choices—it's about an unforgiving housing market, stagnant wages, inadequate safety nets, and the reality that most Americans live far closer to financial catastrophe than they realize. Ultimately, Family Promise Winchester Area offers something rare and valuable: a proven intervention point where modest investment prevents catastrophic outcomes. At $500 per child, the Help Us Move In fund doesn't just house families—it preserves childhoods, protects development, prevents trauma, and breaks generational cycles of poverty. "We have to stop this because it's just so expensive," Chris concludes, referencing both the human and economic costs. "When we invest early in these childhood interventions, we help stop a cycle, and we also help everybody in society." Winchester's invisible crisis demands visible action. Family Promise Winchester Area has built the infrastructure, demonstrated the results, and proven the model works. Now they need the community's support to scale their impact and ensure no child in the region goes to sleep wondering where they'll wake up tomorrow.

I am Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host, and in this episode of the Parenting Well Podcast, we're talking about what truly shapes your child's emotional health in the earliest years of life. I'm joined by Emily Fried, LCSW, a specialist in infant, early childhood, and perinatal mental health, to explore what's really happening beneath toddler behavior — and how attachment, brain development, and parental wellbeing are deeply connected from the very beginning. We discuss how to create the right conditions for healthy development, how toddlers experience big emotions, the difference between prenatal depression and perinatal anxiety, and practical ways to support regulation in everyday moments. If you've ever wondered whether you're “doing it right” in these early years, this conversation will both ground you and guide you. Register to participate in her workshop at the Stress & Anxiety Conference on Feb 28, 2026 In This Episode, We Discuss: What infant mental health actually is — and why it matters How early relationships shape the developing brain The link between developmental milestones and social-emotional growth The difference between prenatal depression and perinatal anxiety What secure attachment looks like in everyday parenting Why toddler behavior makes sense developmentally Concrete strategies to support co-regulation and emotional resilience Key Takeaways Infant mental health is relational. Emotional wellbeing in the early years is built through responsive, connected caregiving. Attachment grows in everyday moments. Security comes from consistent attunement — not perfection. Brain development and emotional development are intertwined. Early relational experiences shape stress response and regulation. Toddler behavior is communication. What looks like defiance is often dysregulation. Perinatal mental health impacts the whole system. Supporting parents is part of supporting children. Regulation starts with the adult. Young children borrow calm from their caregivers. Prevention matters. Early relational support lays the foundation for lifelong emotional health.

Guest Speaker Rev Dr Leona Stucky-Abbot's service delivered on February 22, 2026. Infants begin to develop their brains in the context of a mothering matrix, which involves the important relationships of their early years. Internalized relational patterns gradually establish expectations and structures for how babies think. Their novice experiences also distort who mother is and why she exists. These distortions mirror the ways humans construct their relationships with the Divine.

Brain activity patterns in the ventral visual cortex appear to distinguish images across 12 categories, including birds and trees, longitudinal functional MRI scans suggest.

In today's episode I sit down with developmental psychologist Dr. Jay Belsky to explore a question so many parents wrestle with: is temperament destiny? We talk about why children differ in how deeply they're shaped by their environments, what “developmental plasticity” really means, and why the same parenting can land so differently depending on the child. We discuss the difference between sensitivity and susceptibility, the limits of attachment research, and why focusing only on long-term outcomes can distract us from what matters in the here and now.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Diagnostic Yield of Comprehensive Reanalysis After Nondiagnostic Short-Read Genome Sequencing in Infants With Unexplained Epilepsy. Neurology. 2026;106(6):e214645. doi:10.1212/WNL.0000000000214645  Show transcript:  Dr. Halley Alexander:  Hi, this is Halley Alexander with today's Neurology Minute, and I'm here with Dr. Alissa D'Gama from Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and we just finished recording a full-length podcast about some exciting new work in genetic testing for infantile onset epilepsies. Alissa, can you tell us what you found briefly and why it's important for neurology care? Dr. Alissa D'Gama:  Infantile epilepsies are relatively common, and they're associated with substantial burden of disease, and we know that identifying underlying genetic causes can impact clinical care. It's important for emerging precision therapies. But even after genome sequencing, which is the most comprehensive clinical genetic testing currently available, most infants remain genetically unsolved. And so what we did was take that genome sequencing data and reanalyze it for a cohort of infants who had unexplained non-acquired epilepsy and non-diagnostic genome sequencing, and in about 5% of cases, our reanalysis was able to identify a genetic diagnosis, and all of these diagnoses had impact on clinical care for their infants and their families. In some cases, we could incorporate new information, either new clinical information about the patient or new scientific methods or information about disease associations, and in other cases, we were able to incorporate new analysis methods to identify variants. And so our findings suggest that implementing reanalysis for infants or any individual with epilepsy within a year or two of non-diagnostic testing may be useful. Dr. Halley Alexander:  Thank you so much, and you can find a lot more details by listening to the full-length podcast, which is available now on the Neurology podcast, and you can find the full article in the March 10th issue of Neurology or online at neurology.org. As always, thanks for tuning in for today's Neurology Minute. 

Detectives Benson and Stabler are called in when an infant dies after drinking baby formula mixed with cocaine. When more tainted formula is found in the home of Derek Pfeiffer, Fin and Munch suspect he's been smuggling in the liquid coke from Mexico. But things take a turn when IAB takes over the investigation and Pfeiffer is murdered. Cragen strong-arms Tucker to let Elliot go undercover and infiltrate the drug ring. It's managed by a dirty cop, and when a sting goes sideways, Stabler is forced to shoot him in self-defense.  Still looking for the kingpin, Benson and Cragen learn Pfeiffer never had a baby. His wife had been taking her infant nephew to Mexico as a cover to smuggle the formula.  Now the kingpin is tying up loose ends by killing Mrs. Pfeiffer and all the other mothers who rented their babies as drug mules.We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 4 episode 12 "Risk."

On The Shaun Thompson Show, Jeff Dornik warns that Canada is expanding euthanasia to allow parents to authorize the killing of infants and toddlers if they deem them to be suffering, arguing that this is not compassion but the devaluation of human life in a secular society that has rejected God as the source of inherent rights. Jeff Dornik explains that once a nation abandons the belief that human beings are created in the image of God, it inevitably treats people as disposable, and he connects this moral collapse to the broader alliance between Marxism, radical Islam, and the erosion of individual liberty in America.Follow Jeff Dornik on Pickax - https://pickax.com/jeffdornikTune into The Jeff Dornik Show LIVE daily at 1pm ET on Rumble.

Can Lyme disease begin before birth — and could it be driving neurodevelopmental conditions like autism, ADHD, and anxiety?In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. K is joined by Dr. Somer DelSignore, a leading pediatric integrative clinician, to explore the overlooked science of congenital Lyme and in utero transmission of vector-borne infections. Dr. DelSignore explains how infections such as Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia can cross the placenta, disrupt fetal brain development, and silently fuel inflammation that shows up later as behavioral, cognitive, and immune dysfunction.You'll learn why standard TORCH testing fails to catch these infections, what symptoms parents should watch for in infants and children, and how addressing inflammation, infections, and immune imbalance can dramatically improve outcomes.

Sometimes when nothing else helps, playing baby white noise can be an effective tool to quickly calm a crying, colicky infant. When a baby is fussy, suffering from colic or not sleeping well, play this soothing white noise and watch them quickly settle down. Bring peace to your infant and to your household with this relaxing baby sleep sound.While playing white noise for babies, it's important to keep tabs on the volume, because any white noise machine, smartphone, or computer can put out levels that are too loud for your child. It's recommended to play the sound at least a few feet from where your infant is sleeping and to keep the volume no louder than the sound of a soft shower. Parents can download an app to turn their smartphone into a sound level meter. One good, free, option is the sound level meter app created by the U.S. National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) available on the app store as the NIOSH SLM app.This episode was originally published in 2021.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Deepika Chopra to talk about what real optimism actually means — and why it's so different from toxic positivity. We unpack the science behind resilience, curiosity, and staying open when life is hard, and we get practical about how to grow your “optimism muscle” in everyday moments. We talk about language shifts (like the power of “never” and “always”), parenting through low-capacity seasons, rituals that ground families, and why affirmations and manifestation don't always work the way we think they do.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

The hosts unpack the critical distinction between Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) and Small for Gestational Age (SGA), highlighting how the "decay of information" in the NICU can lead clinicians to overlook early risk factors as babies grow. They discuss the study's alarming findings regarding the six-fold increased risk of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) in SGA infants and the importance of maintaining a comprehensive medical history throughout a patient's stay.----Care of neonates following in-utero growth restriction: A prospective cohort study exploring neonatal morbidity.
