This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast we are re-releasing an interview with the amazing Dr. Nicole Callaway Rankins who you may know from her very popular pregnancy podcast, The All About Pregnancy and Birth Podcast! Similar to Mommy Labor Nurse, Dr. Rankins offers amazing, online resources for pregnant women because she too knows what a critical role education plays in a woman's ability to advocate for themselves during birth and reduce any sense of fear or anxiety they may have. On today's show, Dr. Rankins is going to share with us more about what it's like to be an OBGYN, memorable moments from her years of practice, thoughts on doula and midwifery care, a bit of birth advice, and more. I'm so excited to share Dr. Rankins with you today, so let's get right into it!  

Part 2 of 2 When the plaintiff's expert is a plastic surgeon who couldn't rule out a dwarf with razor-sharp toenails for the scratches, this trial felt less like Law & Order and more like Real Housewives: Beverly Hills Courthouse Edition. From the OB-GYN and receptionist who witnessed the fight to the psychologist who said the plaintiff's test answers were “two in a billion,” the defense delivers receipts – while plaintiff's counsel Ron Rosen Janfazza completely unravels. Tyrella and Nikita break down the defense's strategy, the jaw-dropping cross-examinations, the lightning-fast verdict, and the post-trial fallout – including Janfazza's sanctions, his 2023 mistrial meltdown, and the now-infamous “vaginal discharge” argument NO ONE asked for.

Listeners interested in healthcare, birth practices, medical reform, and those seeking alternative perspectives on childbirth will find this conversation both enlightening and transformative.   Highlights: "How we give birth matters... to the baby's long term health, the mother's long term health, and the relationship between her and her partner."   "No midwife gets rich, no midwife drives a Porsche."   "It's not about intentions. It's about outcomes."   "Nature didn't decide on that timetable. Man decided on that."   "Everything they say is mockable.

After decades inside the system, he got fed up with the way modern obstetrics treats birth like a medical emergency instead of a natural human event. Today, he's one of the few OBs who still attends home births, including breech and twin deliveries .. things most doctors won't even consider. He's the host of the Birthing Instincts Podcast, where he and midwife Blyss Young talk openly about birth freedom, informed consent, and what's broken in the maternity care system. Dr. Stu's become a voice for autonomy, skill preservation, and true informed choice … especially for parents who want to reclaim birth as a sacred, empowering experience.   The desire to go off grid and have the ability to grow your own food has never been stronger than before.

Dr. Anna Cabeca shares how balancing oxytocin, managing cortisol, and tracking your body's pH can reset metabolism, mood, and even fertility.After losing her mother to heart disease and facing her own early menopause diagnosis, Dr. Anna transformed her life (and thousands of others) by blending science with ancient wisdom. Her story of reversing infertility, healing burnout, and discovering the power of “keto-green” living shows what happens when you let your body feel safe again.In this episode, we talk about how stress hormones block love hormones, how mindset shifts literally change chemistry, and why measuring something as simple as urine pH can tell you if your body is thriving or burning out.She also opens up about her “second menopause,” her daughter's rodeo journey, and how joy, connection, and oxytocin might be the most powerful anti-aging tools we've ignored.“Menopause is a magical transition...

In this episode, we're diving deep into women's health, fertility, and empowerment with one of the most trusted voices in reproductive medicine, Dr. Natalie Crawford — a board-certified OB/GYN, reproductive endocrinologist, educator, and advocate for women understanding their own bodies. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by fertility advice, confused by your cycle, or frustrated by the lack of answers, this conversation is going to be a game-changer. Natalie opens up about her own journey through recurrent pregnancy loss, the science of hormones, and why your period is truly a vital sign of your health.  She breaks down: The truth about your menstrual cycle: why your period is a vital sign and what it reveals about your overall health. The connection between brain, body, and hormones: how your hypothalamus and pituitary communicate with your ovaries — and what happens when that system is disrupted. Egg quality vs. age: why fertility isn't just about how many eggs you have, but how healthy they are — and the lifestyle factors that can improve them. How to track your cycle effectively: the difference between apps, basal body temperature, LH testing, and what's truly worth your time. What it means to live hormonally healthy: Dr. Crawford's science-backed approach to balancing inflammation, insulin resistance, stress, sleep, and nutrition. Toxic exposures and endocrine disruptors: practical ways to reduce everyday chemicals that can affect your fertility and hormones. Reframing control and cultivating resilience: how to find empowerment in the fertility process, even when the outcome is uncertain. This episode isn't just about fertility — it's about self-advocacy, empowerment, and redefining what it means to live well.

Hey Doc!What happens when the OB/GYN becomes a new mom and realizes everything she thought she knew about postpartum was incomplete?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Candice Wood, an OB-GYN, perinatal mental health specialist, and mom of five, for a conversation that is tender, hilarious, and quietly radical.Yes, she built a 2-day-a-week career while raising five kids under five. But what we really talk about is what happened after the babies came.When she found herself:silently competing with her husband's ex-wifebreastfeeding through gritted teeth and unspoken anxietyresenting a partner she had trained to be helplessand quietly unraveling, while still doing everything “right” on paperThis episode is about the postpartum identity crisis no one prepares you for — and the healing that happens when you finally name what's actually going on.We talk about:Why resentment is often a sign you've buried a needThe trap of trying to be both the best mother and the best martyrHow her patients helped her see her own sufferingAnd what it really takes to feel like a good mom (hint: it's not perfection)If you've ever found yourself doing it all — and quietly wondering why it still doesn't feel like enough — this one will land deep.

The market is always moving, and it can be tempting to try to rebalance when you'd have to pay the least capital gains taxes. Tax savings are great, but is this really the best way to decide when to rebalance? Nate Reineke and Kyle Hoelzle break down how the market may play into rebalancing and what doctors like you should consider when deciding to rebalance. We also discuss why it is worth paying some taxes in order to manage your risk. We also answer your colleagues' questions. A listener emailed in and said, “I'm a 58-year-old surgeon in Pennsylvania and have been practicing for about 25 years, always as an employed physician. Over that time, I've built up several retirement accounts — a 401(k) with TIAA, a 457(b) plan from my second job that was frozen when the hospital was acquired in 2011, and my current 401(k) that started in 2011. I also have a cash balance pension plan that appears to be invested in a money market fund. As I start thinking about retirement in the next five to seven years, would it make sense to consolidate these accounts in one place — and if so, when is the best time to do that?” An OBGYN from Maryland got an email offering to put an ACATS Block on their account. They're curious what that is, and why they would need one? The spouse of an OBGYN in Texas asks, “What is the Pro Rata rule, and how does it affect having/ opening a backdoor Roth?” A family med doc in California owns 2 properties that they use as investments, and they want to get a third so they can leave each child a property. They are three years from retirement and have enough for a down payment, but not enough to buy outright. Is it a good idea to buy? Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into all the money you need for college and retirement? It's time to make a plan and get on track.

You'll discover how these practitioners may use advanced lab testing, supplements, and a lifestyle-centered approach to dig deeper into your root causes. This episode also explores practical steps for finding the right provider and includes considerations like insurance coverage and testing options.How to Know What Type of PCOS Support You NeedWhether your primary concern is cycle regulation, fertility, energy, acne, or weight, this episode guides you through how to identify the right provider based on your unique goals. You'll learn tips for vetting providers, understanding their specialties, and knowing when to start with a traditional diagnosis versus when to lean into functional or naturopathic care. You'll also gain insight into how to combine different types of care across your PCOS journey and how to watch for red flags like extreme approaches or false promises.Creating a Personalized and Supportive PCOS Care PlanThis episode encourages you to think about your PCOS journey in phases and helps you map out the next step that aligns with where you are right now, whether it's getting a diagnosis, addressing a specific symptom, or preparing for fertility treatments. You'll be reminded that PCOS is a lifelong condition that can be well-managed with the right support and that your lifestyle is one of your most powerful tools.

What if the skills that make breech and twin birth safe have been intentionally erased from modern medicine?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Stuart Fischbein, an OB-GYN and longtime advocate for physiological birth. After nearly three decades in hospitals and over a decade attending home births alongside midwives, he's become a leading voice in reteaching the lost art of vaginal breech and twin delivery. Together, we dig into how this knowledge disappeared, what replaced it, and why practitioners are no longer taught to trust birth.Dr. Stuart exposes the ripple effects of fear, policy, and profit that shape today's obstetric system. We look at the flawed studies that reshaped global practice, the quiet politics behind “standard of care,” and the consequences of replacing skill with surgery. There's a reason breech birth became a lost language, and a growing movement to relearn it.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:17] Why the medical system stripped doctors of individuality and decision-making power[12:05] How one flawed study reshaped global birth practices overnight[19:59] Who qualifies for vaginal breech birth[31:33] When “hands off the breech” isn't enough[36:46] How doctors rationalize ignoring evidence that contradicts hospital policy[40:52] The hidden conflicts of interest behind vaccine and medication recommendations[56:36] Why hospitals prioritize liability and revenue over individualized, physiological care[01:03:41] Rediscovering birth as a human experience[01:08:25] When medicine loses its humanityResources Mentioned:Fearless Pregnancy by Stuart Fischbein, Victoria Clayton, and Joyce Weckl | BookTwin Home Birth by Fischbein, S. | ArticleBreech Birth At Home by Fischbein, S. and Freeze, R. | Article“Home Birth” With An Obstetrician by Fischbein, S. | ArticleTerm Breech Trial (2000) by Hannah, M. et al. | ArticleHealthy as a Mother episode #135 on The Truth About Ultrasounds: Risks & Benefits | Apple or SpotifyBirthing Instincts Podcast | Apple or SpotifyLearn more from Dr. Stuart on his website.

Please welcome to my show Dr. Sherry Ross, an expert on menopause from her years in practice as a beloved obstetrician and gynecologist practicing in Santa Monica. Dr. Ross is also a two-time author, "she-ology: The Definitive Guide To Women's Intimate Health. Period" and "she-ology, the she-quel," both tackling just about any question one might have about women's bodies. And there's a lot. For starters. Menopause. It used to be that word people whispered in the corner. No more. Because ladies, we all go through it, and gents, your significant others, mom, sister, daughters will go through it too. So let's understand it better, shall we? During our conversation, I'll be speaking with Dr. Ross about hormones and hormone replacement therapy. Is it safe (yes), when to start, and how to know what dosage is right for you. Of course there's estrogen and progesterone replacement, and testosterone, too. But for many women, hormones still remains a mystery, and we'll dive deep to clear up any myths about what's safe, recommended, and the benefits, too. Dr. Ross will soon be launching a podcast the first of the year, "Paradox" with renounced sex therapist Tammy Nelson. She's also in the wellness space, recommending products that she thinks have been tested to help women at various stages in their womanhood. We'll discuss. And men, this conversation is for you, too. Let's all get on the same page about women's health for better clarity and understanding. Please find my full conversation with #DrSherryRoss on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here. @drsherryr #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters #obgyn #gynecology #sexualwellness #sexualwellnessproducts #drsherry

This week we review a recent survey study assessing the beliefs of fetal cardiologists and how these may influence the content and conduct of their counseling. Do most fetal cardiologists review all options including intervention, comfort care and pregnancy termination? Should there be a mandate that all do? Is it realistic or appropriate to ask a fetal cardiologist to suggest an option when they do not believe it to be a reasonable or correct choice? We speak with two of the authors of this work and they are Dr. Joanne Chiu of Harvard University and Dr. Caitlin Haxel of The University of Vermont. DOI: 10.1002/pd.6706

Description: For a special treat this week, we're bringing you some highlights straight from Jen's recent Awake book tour in a limited series we've dubbed “Road Trippin' with Jen”.  Every tour stop, audience, and special guest brought its own kind of magic, so we're excited to share some of the best moments with you here on the podcast. On this Road Trippin' stop, Jen shares the stage with two powerhouses. In Houston, board-certified OBGYN and best-selling author, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, shares her journey and insights into women's health, particularly around menopause and midlife. She unpacks our burning questions—why brain fog shows up before periods change, why sleep matters, and how a “menopause toolkit” can set us up for strength, longevity, and joy. This conversation delves into the complexities of menopause, the importance of nutrition, sleep, and movement, and the power of community and connection.  Together we learn how to thrive in mind, body, and spirit during this transformative phase of life. Then we head to the Music City of Nashville, where comedian and truth-teller Heather Land talks about using humor to survive whatever garbage life throws at us, pivoting careers in midlife, and choosing honesty as a way to create belonging. Heather reminds us that laughter can be holy too, and when every other thing fails, humor has a way of breaking us open just enough to let the light in. Tune in for an evening that was equal parts comedy set, revival, and group therapy. … Thought-provoking Quotes: Perimenopause brain changes show up well before your periods go sideways.” — Dr. Mary Claire “Strength training is non-negotiable if you want to keep bone and muscle.” — Dr. Mary Claire “If you don't laugh, you'll cry—and sometimes the laughing saves you.” — Heather Land “Honesty is freedom. If people don't like it, that's on them.” — Heather Land “Staying awake isn't just serious business—it's about finding delight in unexpected places.” — Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Ultimate Menopause Toolkit - https://bit.ly/3WkYsDo The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change with Purpose, Power, and Facts by Dr. Mary Claire Haver - https://amzn.to/4qBg8bU For the Love Episode 21: Series 64 - Reinventing Yourself with Heather Land - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-64/reinventing-yourself-with-heather-land/ Dr. Mary Claire Haver — Board-certified OB-GYN, bestselling author, leading voice on perimenopause/menopause care, and educator advocating science-based, compassionate treatment for women in midlife and beyond.

In this episode, of The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast, Kayleigh sits down with Caitlin, a certified nurse midwife practicing within an OB/GYN group, to talk about how midwives are redefining patient-centered care inside traditional medical settings. Together, they explore what makes the midwifery model unique, why collaboration with obstetricians matters, and how integrating both perspectives can create safer, more supported birth experiences.Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of how the midwifery model emphasizes relationship, trust, and holistic support, even within hospital-based systems, and why this approach can be a powerful antidote to the fragmentation so many birthing people experience in modern maternity care.Together, Kayleigh and Caitlin explore:The core philosophy of midwifery care and how it differs from the traditional medical model.How midwives and OBs can work together rather than compete, creating a continuum of care that honors safety and connection.The value of presence and time, why listening and relational continuity matter in birth outcomes.How midwifery care supports trauma-informed, patient-led decision making.The challenges and opportunities of practicing midwifery within a hosptial system.Resources & LinksFollow Caitlin on TikTok: @Caitlin.Emmaline

Founders often talk about an acquisition as the ultimate business goal. But Gwen Whiting knows M&A isn't always the fairytale it's made out to be. Gwen cofounded The Laundress, grew it into a cleaning empire, and sold the company to Unilever for a reported $100 million. But then... the product recall happened. Gwen tells Nicole about the scrappy days of launching and scaling The Laundress without investor capital, and the cautionary tales from the Unilever deal. Gwen talks about how she's approaching her new venture The Fill differently— and why she's not building it to sell. Then, Gwen opens up about her experience as one of the survivors of sexual assault by Dr. Robert Hadden, and what talking with other survivors taught her the power of collective action.

Today we bring you an episode of "The Second Opinion with Dr. Sharon Malone."  On Dr. Sharon's new podcast, women take back the conversation on health with straight talk, real experience, and the care we all deserve. You'll hear prominent female advocates, experts and patients just like you sharing how they confronted gaps in our healthcare system and got second opinions that saved their lives. Alongside each guest, Dr. Sharon tackles the questions and topics we've been conditioned to ignore — the ones we search for at 3 a.m. but never bring up at the doctor's office. From dismissed symptoms to systemic failures, she pulls back the curtain on what's really going on in women's health and gives women the tools to advocate for themselves and each other. In this episode, Dr. Sharon talks to Board Certified Ob/GYN and Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgeon, Dr. Karen Tang. The two unpack the evolution of Obstetrics Gynecology, the different OB-GYN subspecialties, and surgical options for reproductive health. Plus, Dr. Tang shares experiences patients may have on the surgical table and why you may want to choose a minimally invasive surgery for gynecologic conditions. Find more episodes of “The Second Opinion with Dr. Sharon Malone” wherever you get your podcasts. … • Join LST+ for community and access to You Know What, another show in the Longest Shortest universe! • Follow us on Instagram • Sign up for our newsletter, where we recommend other parenting + reproductive health media • Buy books by LST guests (your purchase supports the show!) • Website: longestshortesttime.com Learn more about your ad choices.
