Podcasts about preconceptions

Thinking about having a baby? In this episode of MamaDoc BabyDoc, we're talking all about preparing for pregnancy and why preconception health matters. From starting prenatal vitamins to optimizing your physical and emotional well-being, we walk you through the steps to set yourself up for a healthy pregnancy journey. Whether you're ready now or just starting to think about the future, this episode is packed with practical advice and honest conversations to help you plan ahead with confidence.

In this episode of Parts and Labor, Angela Chaudhari, MD, hosts a panel of experts to discuss the PEARL Program, a multidisciplinary initiative providing comprehensive care for patients with obesity as they prepare for pregnancy. The panel covers the program's approach to lifestyle management, preconception counseling and integrating specialties to support maternal health.

In this episode of MamaDoc BabyDoc, we're diving deep into a topic that affects millions but is often misunderstood—infertility. Dr. Renda Knapp and Dr. Rachel Schultz will walk you through how infertility is diagnosed, when to seek help, and what your treatment options might look like. From lab work and imaging to medications, IUI, and IVF, we break down the science and the emotional journey behind trying to conceive. Whether you're in the thick of it or supporting someone who is, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and evidence-based guidance. You're not alone—and we're here to help make sense of it all.   #infertilityawareness #ttc #womenshealth #MamaDocBabyDoc #fertilityjourney #reproductivehealth

Why and how do we store certain memories and not others? What lifestyle elements influence memory for better or worse? Can traumatic memories be reframed and lead to reduction in symptoms?In this episode we get into the most recent research into memory. So, how we store memory; the different types; the way we actively construct it rather than simply receiving it; it's importance to our sense of self and framing of the world; to our attention and motivation; to our openness and updating our beliefs; and to Deja Vu. We talk about the influence of screen time and multi-tasking on memory; some unexpected life style factors that influence the quality of memory function and how they can feed into memory disorders; and we discuss traumatic memories and how we can reframe them, and the psychedelic research on that too.Fortunately, our guest is one of the world's most fun and knowledgeable authorities on memory, psychologist, neuroscientist, and head of the dynamic memory lab at The University of California Davis, Dr. Charan Ranganath. He's the author of over 120 scientific papers on memory and has recently released a fascinating book for the general public on all this, “Why We Remember”. Charan is also a rock guitarist with several bands so a man of many talents. What we discuss:00:00 intro. 07:20 The remembering self vs experiencing self. 09:30 We forget a lot, we're supposed to.11:00 Autobiographic memory.13:30 Episodic memory.14:20 Emotional intensity brings attention, which is linked to motivation.18:20 Association, cue and prompts, and the hippocampus.20:30 Memory athletes and training memory.21:51 Storifcation, mental schemas and ‘scaffolding' new memories with old blueprints.24:40 Preconceptions, bias and prejudice is baked into new memories.27:00 Imagining the past (re-membering) and imagining the future are very similar in the brain.29:15 The brain is not linear, rather a global network of dynamic interaction between brain regions simultaneously.31:29 Prediction error, goals, and memory enhancement.37:00 Dopamine drives our attention, interest and curiosity, multiplying remembering.43:20 Mental flexibility, youthful neuroplasticity, and openness to new experience.46::00 The ‘Stage of Life' theory of memory.49:00 The young brain needs to struggle to get the information they're curious about.50:15 Deja Vu research and familiarity.54:20 The environmental and social components of memory. 58:15 The act of remembering can change that memory.01:00:00 Collective memory - shared memories support sense of self.01:01:20 Life style factors: good for the body = good for the brain, so good for memory.01:02:00 The importance of vascular health and inflammation.01:06:30 Depression inversely correlates with memory.01:08:45 Screen time, focus and memory.01:10:20 Multi taking is actually switching, and leads to fragmented memories.01:12:30 Traumatic memories and reframing them.01:19:20 Psychedelic reframing of memories. 01:20:20 Extinction learning - learning to suppress memory prompts and re-write them.References:Charan Ranganth, “Why We Remember” Daniel Kahneman, “Thinking Fast and Slow”Hermann Ebbinghaus, “Memory: A Contribution to Experimental Psychology” 1885Endel Tulving, ‘Mental time travel'Frederic Bartlett, 1930 ‘Imagining the past and constructing the future'Mathias Gruber and Charan Ranganath, “How Curiosity Enhances Hippocampus-Dependent Memory: The Prediction, Appraisal, Curiosity, and Exploration (PACE) Framework” PaperAnne Cleary, Deja Vu experiments article

In this episode, I sit down with Natalie Richheimer, a genetic counselor at JScreen, to dig into the world of preconception and prenatal genetic testing. We explore the basics of carrier screening, how to interpret results, and the importance of genetic counseling for both new and experienced parents—especially those who already have a child with a rare disease. Natalie also sheds light on Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS) and offers insight into talking with family members about genetic risks and results. Throughout our chat, Natalie emphasizes that knowledge truly is power when it comes to family planning and navigating the complexities of genetic information. We discuss strategies for deciding between natural pregnancy, IVF with genetic screening, and other alternatives, helping you feel more confident and informed about your options. Whether you're just beginning your journey or seeking clarity in the midst of it, this episode offers valuable perspectives and heartfelt advice. Join us as we learn how to take charge of our genetic health and family-planning decisions with compassion and confidence. Finally, don't forget about the Once Upon a Gene Revival—an uplifting event designed to support, educate, and connect rare disease caregivers. Registration is open now on my website.

Welcome to Season 7 in this life update episode where Dr. Leah shares all about how her second postpartum has been, now that her son is 1 month. She shares how, despite the birth and cesarean recovery and problems with his latch, she is thriving in postpartum. We discuss how various phases of motherhood can be so different for women, and possible reasons for it too - based on hormonal constitutions, recovery, complications, and more. Then Dr. Morgan discusses how her husband and her are potentially considering a fifth baby - even though they felt completely done after their fourth was born. It's been a heart-opening experience having their fourth here. She shares the fears, hopes, and layers of complexity around making this decision for their family and how they plan to approach it with a strong 6-month preconception plan first.

Lea is the content creator behind the popular Instagram account @trusting_birth, and host of the Wise Woman Diaries podcast. In this conversation, we go deep. Lea shares candidly about how a ten-year preconception journey has been the path that led her to soul, and, paradoxically, into true trust in her body. She shares what inspired her to create both Trusting Birth and Wise Woman Diaries, despite being a maiden and not having experienced motherhood yet. We talk about the importance of story medicine, particularly for women. We are right now witnessing a shift from an old paradigm of experts and authority as knowledge and wisdom keepers, to a more egalitarian, aquarian moment in human history. We also talk about the unique nature of social media, and how triggers are a window into who we are, our traumas, and are a reflection of our energy.
