In this week's episode of A Pod Named Kickback, No Brakes Nu' and Get Fit with Jacq take a deep dive into the viral Haley Bailey & DDG situation—specifically unpacking the controversial topic of postpartum depression.Nu' breaks down his viral social media post and the firestorm that followed: men vs. women, assumptions vs. empathy, and what it really means to support a woman through postpartum when even she may not know she's struggling.“It's not just crying in silence—it can be behavior that's unsafe, unstable, and unpredictable. So how do we protect the baby, the mother, and the family unit?”From there, the convo expands to:How celebrity custody battles affect the children long-termDiddy's dark spiral and the bizarre pattern of free-for-all sexual requestsThe ongoing genocide in Gaza, with heartbreaking footage of Palestinians being gunned down while trying to get foodThe brewing cold war between Trump & Elon Musk—money vs. political power, and who really wins when billionaires and world leaders clashIt's deep. It's wild. It's real.And it's a conversation you need to hear before forming your opinion.

Send us a textThis week I, once again, briefly touch on how long it takes to recover postpartum. This after a question from someone who asked "how long it would take to recover if you didn't do anything vs following a program".It's a fascinating question tbh and it kind of all depends on what you mean with "post partum recovery".I explain why I believe everyone needs a bit of assistance with their recovery and what the best methods, in order of effectiveness, are.I then talk for a while about the importance of following the right science communicators.A great post by Dr Colenso Semple on threads (my preferred platform) shows that just citing a paper, and even reading a paper, is not enough. In this case she highlights that one of the studies referenced in the paper was now retracted and written by someone who had falsified data. This shows you just how important it is to follow the right science communicators. I personally follow several and they are all experts in their related fields. Getting ALL your science info from one source (for instance Huberman) leaves you open to "the grift" and if people don't really know what they're talking about/citing then it's very easy to misinterpret a piece of information. (As I highlight by talking about another post with regards to Artificial Sweeteners and increased bodyfat %)Here is the link to that paper and here is the reference I talk about which shows why you really have to read these things carefully.As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles!So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation! BUT, if you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS! That's $50 max spend, in case you were wondering.This means you can sign up after your first child, use the program and recover and then still have access after giving birth to child 2 and 3!None of this "pay X amount a year" nonsense, once you've paid..you've paid!This makes HPNB not just the most efficient and complete post-partum recovery program, it's also BY FAR the best value.Though I'm not terribly active on  Instagram and Facebook you can follow us there.

POUR ÉCOUTER L'ÉPISODE EN ENTIER TAPEZ "ÉLISE SUPER MAMAS" SUR VOTRE PLATEFORME DE PODCASTAvoir un bébé, c'est déjà un bouleversement en soi. Alors deux d'un coup… Imaginez un peu le raz-de-marée. Quand Élise est devenue maman de jumeaux, elle a plongé tête la première dans le mythe de la Wonder Woman. Reprendre rapidement le travail, assurer sur tous les fronts, ne rien lâcher, tout gérer, tout le temps. Mais sous cette façade de mère ultra dynamique, il y avait l'isolement, l'épuisement, et une dépression post-partum qui, comme trop souvent, est passée sous les radars.Alors justement, comment survit-on à une tempête pareille ? À quel point le couple est-il mis à l'épreuve dans cette aventure qu'on appelle parentalité ? Et finalement, comment l'envie de fonder une grande famille peut-elle nous pousser à nous relancer dans l'aventure ?Élise vous raconte son parcours dans un témoignage que j'ai adoré écouter. Personnellement, je me suis pas mal reconnue… Cette envie de tout gérer, de renvoyer l'image d'une femme forte, solide comme un roc… Et je pense qu'on est nombreuses dans ce cas-là.Alors mesdames, retenez bien la morale de l'histoire : oui, nous aussi, on a le droit de souffler, de prendre soin de nous et, parfois, de laisser entrevoir nos failles.Je vous souhaite une belle écoute.*** Pour retrouver l'univers de notre super mamas :

N Engl J Med 2001;345:1667-1675Background: Angiotensin II is a peptide hormone that is part of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS). Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor and growth-stimulating hormone. Data suggested that it plays a role in ventricular remodeling and progression of heart failure. Although treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) reduce angiotensin II levels, physiologically active levels of angiotensin II may persist despite long-term therapy.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Valsartan Heart Failure Trial (Val-HeFT) sough to assess whether the angiotensin-receptor blocker valsartan, could reduce mortality and morbidity when added to optimal medical therapy in patients with systolic heart failure.Patients: Eligible patients had left ventricular ejection fraction less than 40% and left ventricular dilation, in addition to having clinical heart failure for at least 3 months with NYHA class II, III or IV symptoms. Patient also had to have been receiving a fixed-dose drug regimen for at least two weeks, that could include ACEi, diuretics, digoxin, and beta-blockers.There were many exclusion criteria. We mention some here: Postpartum cardiomyopathy, acute myocardial infarction within 3 months, coronary artery disease likely to require intervention, serum creatinine >2.5 mg/dL and life expectancy less than 5 years.Baseline characteristics: Patients were recruited from 302 centers in 16 countries. The trial randomized 5,010 patients – 2,511 randomized to receive valsartan and 2,499 to receive placebo.The average age of patients was 63 years and 80% were men. The average left ventricular ejection fraction was 27%. Cardiomyopathy was ischemic in 57% of the patients. The NYHA class was II in 62% of the patients, III in 36% of the patients and IV in 2%.Approximately 26% had diabetes and 12% had atrial fibrillation.At the time of enrollment, 86% were taking a diuretic, 67% were taking digoxin, 35% were taking beta-blockers, and 93% were taking ACEi.Procedures: The trial was double-blinded. The trial had an initial run-in period for 2 - 4 weeks where patients received placebo twice daily. This was performed to confirm patients' eligibility, clinical stability and compliance.Patients were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive valsartan or placebo. Randomization was stratified according to whether or not they were receiving a beta-blocker.Valsartan was started at a dose of 40 mg twice a day, and the dose was doubled every two weeks to the target dose of 160 mg twice a day. Placebo doses were adjusted in a similar way.Follow up occurred at 2, 4, and 6 months and every 3 months thereafter.Endpoints: The trial had two primary end points. The first was all-cause mortality. The second was the combined end point of mortality and morbidity, which was defined as cardiac arrest with resuscitation, hospitalization for heart failure, or administration of intravenous inotropic or vasodilator drugs for four hours or more without hospitalization.The estimated sample size was 5,000 patients. The sample size calculation assumed 20% relative risk reduction in mortality with valsartan assuming 906 patients would die during the trial. This sample size would provide the trial 90% power at 0.02 alpha. Alpha was 0.02 instead of the traditional 0.05 since the trial had two primary endpoints and to adjust for the interim analyses.Results: The target valsartan dose of 160 mg twice a day was achieved in 84% of the patients. The reduction in systolic blood pressure was greater with valsartan vs placebo – mean of 5.2 ± 15.8 mm with valsartan compared to 1.2 ± 14.8 mm Hg with placebo, at 4 months.All-cause mortality was not different between both groups (19.7% with valsartan vs 19.4% with placebo, RR: 1.02, 95% CI: 0.88 – 1.18; p= 0.80). The second co-primary endpoint was reduced with valsartan (28.8% vs 32.1%, RR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.77 – 0.97; p= 0.009). This was driven by reduction in hospitalizations for heart failure (13.8% vs 18.2%). Cardiac arrest with resuscitation was 0.6% with valsartan and 1.0% with placebo. All-cause hospitalization was numerically lower with valsartan, however, this was not statistically significance (2,856 vs 3,106; p= 0.14). The mean change in ejection fraction was higher with valsartan (4.0% vs 3.2%; p= 0.001). More patients had improvement in NYHA classification with valsartan (23.1% vs 20.7%; p

Ask a sex therapist is back! Have you ever Googled something about sex and then immediately deleted your search history?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...   There is no correlation between a baby who self-weans and the development of a secure attachment. You're going to piss off your kids a lot… that's totally normal and doesn't mean that they won't form a strong and healthy attachment to you. It makes sense your child wants what feels good to them, but that doesn't necessarily mean that what they want is also what they need.  Helpful Hint: When your child stops breastfeeding, there is often a period of time where they will eat less - and this can lead to more anxiety, especially if you are doing this because of concerns over their nutrition. Clothing choices, accessible snacks, and meal planning: Some practical tips for moms who are ready to stop breastfeeding.  How to build your child's distress tolerance and help them prepare for this big transition.     REFERENCES AND RELATED RESOURCES:  

Hey Momma! Is this your first baby? Or maybe it has been a while since your last pregnancy and you are trying to prepare yourself for the journey ahead. Either way, this episode is going to let you in on (many but not all) the things that can happen during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum, so that you can be more prepared than the rest of us! I polled over a hundred women to see what they wish they knew and now I'm giving you all the goodies!    Books like What to Expect When You Are Expecting, can be very helpful but many times we don't really think all those “crazy or scary” things can actually happen to us.  Or maybe you had no idea it could happen at all! Informing yourself beforehand can help you better prepare for the unexpected.. Because believe me there will be lots of that! But also help you realize you are not alone! So many moms suffer being told “its normal”, “ you are cleared”, “It will go away after baby comes out” only to find in reality, that is not always the case and we could have done something about it! Thats why in this week's episode we are talking about all those things we wish we knew… and I am sure that there are many I have not included and will probably do a part II, but for now I hope this episode helps inform and support you throughout your prenatal, birth and postpartum journey!    If you want more support, reach out for coaching, join my FREE and Private support group below and DOWNLOAD my new APP Pelvic Floor, Core & More that has my on demand 12 wk program, tracking features, pelvic floor 101 masterclass and more!    RESTORE is my first 12 wk online signature program hosted inside my new platform that will be an APP soon Pelvic Floor, Core & More!

This option is great for those that can't afford a one-on-one session for $200-$240, those that don't have access to a pelvic floor PT in person or those that want to have a structured organized program with support as they are phasing out of acute therapy treatments and working more independently.

Postpartum is hard and so is sleep deprivation….and you get a nice helping of both after you have a baby. Some well-meaning people might recommend you work on sleep training your baby early so that you can get back to getting normal amounts of sleep quicker. But is this a good idea? Does it even work? That's the topic of this episode. Specifically, I address co-sleeping and how that might be the solution to the sleep deprivation problem.   Helpful Links: — BIBLE STUDY - FREE Bible Study Course - How To Be Sure Of Your Salvation - https://the-ruffled-mango-school.teachable.com/p/how-to-be-sure-of-your-salvation   -- COACHING - If you're tired of shallow, cheap, meaningless connections in pregnancy that leave you feeling passed over and confused, The REAL DEAL Transformative Coaching might be for you.

Ever feel like no one prepared you for how depleted you'd feel after having a baby? You're not alone, mama. In this episode, I'm sitting down with postpartum nutrition expert Maranda Bower, and we're getting real about what's actually missing from postpartum care—and why so many moms feel completely drained, foggy, and off for months after giving birth.

In this vulnerable and practical follow-up to our pregnancy episode, I'm joined again by Tess to unpack everything we wish we knew before entering the wild, beautiful, disorienting season of postpartum—also known as the 4th trimester. Postpartum isn't just “after having a baby.” It's its own stage of life. And it deserves its own conversation. We talk about what no one tells you about preparing for the hospital, what to pack (for you, your partner, and baby), setting boundaries around visitors, and how to emotionally prep for those first few foggy days. You'll hear both our birth stories in full, plus: What a lactation consultant really helps with Intrusive thoughts Identity shifts and how long it actually took to feel like ourselves again We also get honest about relationships, friendship expectations after birth, and what it looked like to be mentally fragile while also doing something incredibly strong. If you're navigating new motherhood (or walking with someone who is), this episode is here to be a soft landing and a real talk resource. Learn more about your ad choices.

Leave a review!  If you're feeling tired of trying every postpartum core workout and still not feeling quite “back,” you're not alone. In today's episode, I'm sharing the four biggest myths about your deep core that might be holding you back—without you even knowing it.We'll talk about why “tighten and tone” isn't always the answer (spoiler: it can actually make things harder!), and I'll walk you through gentle, science-backed ways to reconnect with your core — all while leaning into God's slow, loving pace for healing.

Send us a textToday I talk about food and "the deep core"!!!After being asked "Should I eat more protein postpartum?", which is an awesome question, we discuss that.I talkabout how to set your plate up if you're looking to eat healthy.Where should you start? Which macros matter.... How much protein is enough and is protein the be-and-end-all?Then I talk about "deep core activation". You hear this a LOT from postpartum coaches.I explain I don't tend to use the phrase "deep core" but talk you through how the core actually works. How can you make sure it works properly and what the best way to ensure your core recovers as fast as it can postpartum. As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles!So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation! BUT, if you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS!

Remember when we were all about baby-led weaning? While many aspects initially appealed to us, and it was admittedly fun to watch our babies feed themselves 100 new foods prior to age 1, our values and priorities have shifted as we have learned what matters most. Kate Pope, mom of two, nutritionist, certified GAPS practitioner, and founder of the Regenerative Cooking School, explains why and how the GAPS diet is crucial for healing and sealing everyone's gut— from baby's to mom's and beyond— and how the GAPS protocol is what reverses common but not normal symptoms such as eczema, food sensitivities and CMPA (cow's milk protein allergy), just to name a few.We talk about some taboo foodie topics like the culprit behind the rise in egg and peanut allergies, why sweet potato is not an ideal first food, and those popular plastic food puree pouches our society can't seem to part ways with.Follow Kate at @wildnutritionist on Instagram. Code 'OFFTHERECORD' – gives you $55 off any of these three courses:First Foods PlanMama Baby BiomeFeeding Picky EatersSupport the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

We begin this week in Pennsylvania with a story that involves a woman who starts to believe that something in her new house is coming for her family and trying to take it from her. Then, Dan takes us to Brazil to explore one of the more disturbing legends ever. The legend of Bárbara  of the Pleasures. But Bárbara's story, is not so pleasurable. When her looks began to fade, did an aging woman in the early 19th century, once heralded as a legendary beauty, do the unthinkable to regain her youthful attractiveness?
