During the nine months of pregnancy, your body changes more than at any other time in your life, and there are many changes to your breasts. From the first tender, swollen weeks through the months you spend breastfeeding, your breasts go through a major transformation. Some of these breast changes during pregnancy are visible, like growth, darker areolas, and more prominent veins. Others are internal as your body builds the machinery to feed your baby. Learn exactly what to expect, why each change happens, and how to manage symptoms like sensitivity, leaking, and stretch marks. The more you understand what your body is doing, the easier it is to replace worry with appreciation for how hard your body is working to prepare for your baby.

A large-scale study tracking pregnant women in Iran found that every additional minute of daily cell phone use increased miscarriage risk by zero point six percent -- and the effects extended beyond pregnancy loss to birth weight and infant development. In this episode, I break down new research from BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth that followed sixteen hundred sixty-six women throughout their pregnancies, measuring their exposure to cell phones, cordless phones, and Wi-Fi devices. The findings reveal a clear dose-response relationship: the more exposure, the greater the risk to pregnancy outcomes. In This Episode How researchers tracked real-world EMF exposure in pregnant women over four years The specific risks associated with cell phone call duration during pregnancy Why cordless phones showed similar effects on newborn birth weight One simple step you can take today to reduce exposure during pregnancy Featured Study Read the full study: The association of widely used electromagnetic waves exposure and pregnancy and birth outcomes in Yazd women: a cohort study See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum can be some of the most transformative and vulnerable seasons of a mother's life. But no mother was ever meant to do it all alone.In this episode of the Parenting Collective Podcast, host Donna Moala sits down with Deyana Salib, Midwife, Owner & Director of Pregnancy Practice Perth, for a heartfelt conversation about why mothers need a village before, during and after birth.Deyana shares her journey as a midwife and the inspiration behind Pregnancy Practice Perth , a community-focused model designed to support women from early pregnancy through birth and into postpartum.Together, Donna and Deyana talk about:• Why pregnancy support needs to begin from the moment you find out you're pregnant• The importance of continuous midwife-led care throughout pregnancy and birth• Why postpartum support is just as important as pregnancy and birth preparation• The mental load, anxiety and loneliness many new mothers experience• Why mothers need practical help, emotional support and sometimes simply someone to give them a hug• The importance of building a genuine “village” around mothers• Birth support, breastfeeding, newborn sleep and the professionals who can help• Supporting mothers who have experienced miscarriage, infertility or difficult births• The impact of isolation and the growing need for connection in modern motherhood• Deyana's charity I'm With You, supporting vulnerable pregnant and postpartum women• The role of spirituality, faith, hope and surrendering fear during motherhoodOne of the biggest messages from this conversation is simple: you are not failing, you are not meant to do this alone.Whether you are pregnant, preparing for birth, navigating those early newborn weeks, or supporting a new mum in your life, this episode is a reminder that mothers deserve to be cared for too.If this episode resonates with you, subscribe to The Parenting Collective Podcast, share it with a mum who needs to hear it, and let us know in the comments: Who is in your village?Follow Deyana Salib:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deyana-salib-b0a4ab24a/Website: https://pregnancypracticeperth.com.au/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560860396055Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pregnancypracticeperth/Book your FREE 15 minute consultation: https://pregnancypracticeperth.com.au/book-your-free-15-minute-consultation-below/I would appreciate it greatly if you could please LIKE and FOLLOW this podcast and if you are not following me over on instagram, head over there for all of my top tips and advice around sleep and parenting @parentingcollective.au.  I also offer a free 15 minute phone chat to run through all your questions CLICK here to book your FREE 15 minute chatMuch Love

Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist in New York City, discusses the growing shift from symptom-only “sick care” to a clinically grounded holistic approach to health and recovery. She argues that self-guided wellness routines can leave gaps when underlying medical issues, mental health conditions, substance use disorders, or trauma remain unaddressed, and emphasizes integrating evidence-based clinical evaluation (including labs and deficiency testing) with lifestyle practices. She explains how treating symptoms in isolation misses connections (e.g., stress, sleep, grief) and defines true holistic care as addressing physical, mental, emotional, relational, environmental, and purpose-related factors without rejecting medical treatment. Key components include consistent movement, individualized nutrition built on basics, nervous system regulation (sleep, nature, breathing, meditation/prayer), meaningful social connection, and a sense of purpose as clinically relevant to resilience.

What happens when becoming a parent changes the way you see your health, your priorities, and your future? In this special episode of Conquer the Day, we share an honest update on our pregnancy journey as we enter the second trimester. From finding out that we're having a baby girl to navigating changing routines, workouts, emotions, and mindset, we reflect on how this season is reshaping not only our lives, but also our perspective on leadership, family, and what truly matters. We also discuss the best (and worst) pregnancy advice we've received, how Lindsey has adapted her training and nutrition, and the lessons we're already learning about becoming parents. Whether you're expecting a child, hoping to start a family one day, or simply navigating a season of major life change, this conversation is a reminder that growth often happens through the transitions we don't fully control.

If you've ever wanted to make healthier choices but felt completely overwhelmed by all the conflicting information online, this episode is for you. HeHe walks through the mindset that helped her focus on progress instead of perfection, explaining why she didn't change everything overnight and how small, sustainable swaps can make a meaningful difference over time. She shares the biggest changes she made before and during pregnancy, from prioritizing whole foods, protein, and key nutrients to switching to cleaner coffee, choosing a high-quality prenatal, and being more mindful about plastics and microplastics in the kitchen.

Throughout the episode, HeHe reminds listeners that low-tox living isn't about fear or achieving a "perfect" home.

SYNOPSIS:What does it mean to experience yourself as a fertile body? And what happens when your body doesn't seem to be cooperating with your deepest hopes?In this wide-ranging conversation, Ali speaks with Harvard-awarded fertility specialist Gabriela Rosa about fertility as far more than a medical diagnosis. Together they explore the meaning we attach to parenthood, the relationship between fertility and creativity, the impact of trauma and relationships on reproductive health, and why infertility is never simply "a women's issue."Gabriela shares her evidence-based, integrative approach to fertility, explaining how removing obstacles to health often allows the body's innate intelligence to do what it already knows how to do. Along the way, they discuss IVF, implantation, sperm health, miscarriage, Family Constellation Work, embodiment, and the profound question of how we learn to trust the intelligence of our bodies – even when it seems to be saying "not yet."Whether you're navigating fertility challenges, considering parenthood, or simply curious about the body's remarkable capacity for intelligence and healing, this conversation offers a deeply humane perspective on one of life's most meaningful journeys.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to reconsider one of the podcast's central questions: What becomes possible when we stop treating the body as a problem to solve and begin discovering the body's innate intelligence?To subscribe now, click hereTo be an angel to the podcast, click here To read more about the podcast, click here FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:Website: https://www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:FREE Guided Body Mapping Taster: Heart/Sexuality SplitFive-films series (made by Ali Mezey) on renowned Family Constellation Facilitator, Stephan Hausner's work with transgenerational influences on illnessFOR MORE GABRIELA ROSA: BIO:Gabriela Rosa, DrPH (Candidate, Harvard), is a Harvard-awarded fertility specialist, founder of The Rosa Institute, and author of Fertility Breakthrough: Overcoming Infertility and Recurrent Miscarriage When Other Treatments Have Failed.

In this episode of “Research Ethics Reimagined,” we speak with Willyanne DeCormier Plosky, DrPH, and Blythe Chen, MPH, of The Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard (MRCT Center) about the evolving legal landscape for clinical trials following the 2022 Dobbs decision, and how varying state laws around reproductive health create new privacy considerations for participants. The guests describe MRCT Center's related research and their Pregnancy Privacy Protections for Participants (P4) Toolkit, a set of resources designed to help researchers and Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) improve informed consent language and communicate clearly with participants.

ACOG first recommended antiviral suppressive therapy at 36 weeks of gestation for women with a history of genital herpes in 2007, with the publication of Practice Bulletin No. 82 ("Management of Herpes in Pregnancy," June 2007). This was the first ACOG practice bulletin specifically dedicated to genital herpes management in pregnancy, and it established the 36-week suppressive therapy recommendation based on the RCTs available at that time (including the Watts 2003, Sheffield 2006, and Andrews 2006 trials). The recommendation was subsequently reaffirmed and updated in Practice Bulletin No. 220, published in May 2020, which is the current version. However, these trials had patients who ultimately delivered at/after 38 weeks. In a patient with a history of genital HSV for whom suppression is recommended but who will have a medically indicated delivery at 37 weeks, say for a hypertension disorder of pregnancy, is 36 week initiation of HSV antiviral medication enough time for suppression? There is a gap in high quality data on this. In this episode, we will review the published data and reach a clinical decision as to whether one week suppression is enough, or if initiation earlier is reasonable. 1. ACOG PB 822. ACOG PB 220

In part 2 of this episode of The Phoenix Cast, Violence Prevention Educator Cassandra Carmona-Wayman (she/hers/ella) continues her conversation with reproductive health advocate Cristina Ponce (she/hers) about Abortion Access, Reproductive Coercion, and Survivor Autonomy. Cristina shares her abortion story and shares her lived experiences with these topics. We also unpack how shifting laws, financial barriers, and crisis pregnancy centers impact survivor autonomy and safety. We highlight practical resources like abortion funds, doulas, travel support, and trusted clinic locators. We also break down myths about medication abortion and centering abortion as both healthcare and a crucial safety option for survivors of violence.Content warnings: discussion of abortion (including personal and self-managed abortion stories), reproductive coercion, intimate partner and interpersonal violence, sexual violence (including rape and sexual coercion), pregnancy-related homicide risk, and anti-abortion harassment/misinformation.Additionally:We discuss healthcare clinics and abortion providers near the Denver Metro area. Please be aware of clinics that misrepresent their services and can appear misleading to patients in need of care. Some “crisis pregnancy centers” near campus and in Denver are not medical clinics and may offer misleading or incomplete information about abortion and pregnancy options. When you can, seek licensed providers or clinics that clearly offer full-spectrum reproductive healthcare, and remember you can reach out to the Phoenix Center at Auraria for confidential support and accurate referrals.Sources and Resources mentioned in the episode:American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Allie examines the growing divide on the Right over Guy Benson's announcement of his second child born via surrogacy, highlighting the tension between celebrating “conservative” gay voices and the reality that intentionally creating motherless or fatherless children violates God's design for the family. She breaks down research showing the disadvantages faced by children raised without both a mom and a dad, pushes back against the “family diversity myth,” and shares why normalizing surrogacy, IVF for same-sex couples, and same-sex marriage undermines conservatism and harms kids.

There was one thing David Anthony Burke wanted to know about Celeste Rivas Hernandez's pregnancy, and a detective read his exact words to a Los Angeles courtroom. That is where the d4vd preliminary hearing arrived in its July 24 session, and it is the material this episode walks through in full. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was eleven when the messages with David Anthony Burke began in August 2022. By January 2024, the texts indicate she was pregnant, days from a procedure, telling an adult that neither of them could care for a baby. His reply carried a laugh. His follow-up asked when she would get it done. And his last question in the exchange, the one he said his mother told him to ask, got an answer with his own name in it. Detective Corey Farell, the prosecution's final witness, put all of it on the record, along with nearly fifty images from Burke's devices that investigators labeled illegal material involving a minor, described to the court but never displayed. Earlier in the session, Dr. Grant Ho testified that Celeste died from two sharp-force wounds, and that the condition of her remains left questions no examination can settle. Her parents stepped out for the autopsy testimony. They came back for the texts. Her mother cried, and her father looked down. Prosecutors say the fingers missing from Celeste's hand carried a tattoo of Burke's name in red ink, and they wrote in a brief that they believe that is why the fingers were gone. Burke has pleaded not guilty to every charge, his attorneys challenged the evidence at every step, and the bindover ruling arrives when the hearing closes. This is the full account of the day the texts became public, and the day this case stopped being about a Tesla.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, we break down the science behind severe pregnancy nausea and vomiting, including how it's diagnosed, why it happens, potential genetic causes, treatment options, and what current research says.

Dr. Hoffman continues is conversation with naturopathic gastroenterologist Mark Davis, ND (FABNG).

Naturopathic gastroenterologist Mark Davis, ND (FABNG), discusses his work in fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), research, and integrative approaches to GI disease. Davis explains FMT history, screening criteria, delivery methods, how it differs from probiotics, and why it is highly effective for recurrent C. difficile (about a 90% durable cure), while noting FDA-approved products (Rebyota, Vowst) and off-label applications. He describes IRB-approved studies on naturopathic care for IBS and ulcerative colitis and a blinded project comparing consistency across 15–20 stool microbiome labs. The conversation covers evidence for diet in IBS/IBD (including SCD and a semi-vegetarian diet), low-FODMAP as a temporary tool, breath testing and relapse in SIBO, helminthic therapy options and legality, targeted probiotics (Saccharomyces boulardii, Akkermansia, soil-based species), enema therapies, indigo naturalis benefits and risks, saffron evidence for mood, telemedicine practice, and a crowdfunding platform for clinical trials.

Polycystic ovary syndrome has long been associated mainly with irregular periods, ovarian cysts and fertility concerns. But the condition can also affect insulin resistance, weight, heart health, diabetes risk and other systems throughout the body—one reason the new name PMOS, or polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, is gaining attention.Host Sandra Peebles talks with Baptist Health endocrinologist Dr. Priscilla Escalona Villasmil and obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Ingrid Paredes about what the name change means, how PMOS is diagnosed and why symptoms can look very different from one woman to another.In this episode: Why the condition is about much more than ovarian cysts  Common signs, including irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth and hair loss  How doctors diagnose PMOS and rule out other hormonal conditions  What PMOS means for ovulation, fertility and unplanned pregnancy  The connection to insulin resistance, diabetes and cardiovascular risk  Treatment options, including lifestyle changes, birth control pills, metformin, spironolactone and GLP-1 medications  Why early diagnosis and coordinated care can improve long-term health PMOS is manageable, and a diagnosis does not mean pregnancy is impossible. Early evaluation by an OB-GYN and an endocrinologist can help patients address both reproductive and metabolic health.Host:Sandra PeeblesAward-Winning JournalistGuests:Ingrid Paredes, M.D. Obstetrician/GynecologistPriscilla Escalona Villasmil, M.D.Endocrinologist Baptist Health

A new study reveals that cell phone radiation exposure during pregnancy may harm the reproductive development of female offspring, with the first week of pregnancy showing the most severe effects. Researchers exposed pregnant rats to cell phone radiation at different stages of pregnancy and examined the ovarian development of their female offspring. The findings show significant reductions in hormone levels, decreased healthy egg cell development, and increased cell death in the ovaries of newborn rats. What makes this particularly concerning is that the damage occurred even with standby mode exposure, and the effects were most severe when mothers were exposed during the first week -- often before women even know they're pregnant. In This Episode How maternal cell phone exposure affects reproductive development in offspring Why the first week of pregnancy shows the most severe effects The difference between conversation mode and standby mode exposure Practical steps pregnant women can take to reduce exposure Featured Study Read the full study: Impairment of Oogenesis and Folliculogenesis in Neonatal Rats after Maternal Exposure to Mobile Phones See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

In part 1 of this episode of The Phoenix Cast, Violence Prevention Educator Cassandra Carmona-Wayman (she/hers/ella) talks with reproductive health advocate Cristina Ponce (she/hers) about how abortion care works, common myths about abortion, and the impact of post‑Dobbs restrictions. They also explore reproductive coercion as a form of abuse, its connections to interpersonal violence, and why protecting survivors' bodily autonomy and access to abortion is essential.Content warnings: discussion of intimate partner violence, reproductive coercion, sexual and physical violence, abortion (including later‑term), pregnancy loss, legal and systemic barriers to care, and brief mention of hospitalization due to assault.Additionally:We discuss healthcare clinics and abortion providers near the Denver Metro area. Please be aware of clinics that misrepresent their services and can appear misleading to patients in need of care. Some “crisis pregnancy centers” near campus and in Denver are not medical clinics and may offer misleading or incomplete information about abortion and pregnancy options. When you can, seek licensed providers or clinics that clearly offer full-spectrum reproductive healthcare, and remember you can reach out to the Phoenix Center at Auraria for confidential support and accurate referrals.Sources and Resources mentioned in the episode:American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Psychedelic Therapy for Mental Health: Research, Safety, and the Path to FDA Approval: Dr. Will Van Derveer and Keith Kurlander, co-authors of “Psychedelic Therapy: A Revolutionary Approach to Restoring Your Mental Health and Reclaiming Your Life,” reveal the shift from recreational psychedelics to structured, research-based psychedelic-assisted therapy for conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Van Derveer describes limitations of conventional psychiatry (citing STAR*D remission rates) and his entry into MDMA-assisted PTSD research after promising results. They contrast controlled clinical protocols—screening, preparation, safe setting, trained facilitation, medical monitoring, and post-session integration—with uncontained recreational use. The discussion covers current policy momentum under Trump and RFK Jr., VA interest for veterans, and key agents: ketamine (including abuse risks and clinic-only Spravato), MDMA (phase 3 but not approved in 2024), psilocybin (phase 3, potential FDA approval), LSD (GAD trials), ibogaine (arrhythmia risk, Mexico clinics), ayahuasca, peyote, and microdosing. They also note commercialization, including Eli Lilly's acquisition of a 5-MeO-DMT nasal spray developer, and emphasize an integrative “all-of-the-above” mental health approach.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Will Van Derveer and Keith Kurlander, co-authors of “Psychedelic Therapy: A Revolutionary Approach to Restoring Your Mental Health and Reclaiming Your Life.”

Ep 124: Today AMA covers a lot of topics! We touch on fitness, food, fav training sneakers and then chat about life as a trainer with a baby - how we got Apollo to sleep + how I prepped myself for maternity leave as someone who needed to pay for my own maternity leave and can't delegate my job to someone else.This was something I was really trying to find when I was pregnant so hopefully it helps anyone who's also in the fitness/personal training industry and is wanting to start a family soon!We get into considerations when exercising while pregnant like the importance of glute lengthening and adductor strength + what to do after you finish a calorie deficit - how do you know you're done? Should you go down again? Should you do a reverse diet? Should you just maintain? **********************DON'T FORGET! My new program "Busy Body" is 20% off until Monday August 3rd.Find it HERE, and use code "presale" for 20% off!**********************Apply for Advanced Training and Nutrition with Chelsey & Dr Emily Dow HEREStart your 7 day FREE trial of my new app HERE!Programs:8 Week Summer Prep Planhttps://www.trainerize.me/profile/chelseyrosehealth/?planGUID=d48c6fbf116c4e8fb4d31f94b5376fa3Want to work one on one with Chelsey?Set up a one on one consultation call here to see if personalized online training is right for you.Join a semi-private class in LA here.Email info@chelseyrosehealth.com to inquire about one on one in person training.Shop the things i'm loving HEREFollow Chelsey on Instagram:@Chelseyrosehealth@StrengthtobuildFollow Chelsey on TikTok Here."Submit a question to the show"

Hormones aren't the problem. Misunderstanding them is. On this episode of BackTable Women's Health, Dr. Karen Toubi sits down with Dr. James Simon to discuss menopause, sexual medicine, and his career journey from early IVF research to treating aging women. They also unpack his Green Journal paper with Dr. Barbara Levy, challenging common misconceptions about hormone therapy and explaining why treatment should be individualized because not all estrogens and progestogens are the same. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction03:11 - Why Menopause Medicine07:51 - Hormone Therapy Paper11:48 - Counseling Perimenopause16:14 - Unopposed Estrogen Strategy23:01 - IUDs And Progesterone26:54 - Estrogen Types Explained34:59 - Thrombosis Risk Approach43:11 - Oral Estrogen Use Cases44:48 - Breast Cancer Risk Counseling46:49 - Estrogen Risk Myth48:11 - Pregnancy and Breast Cancer50:09 - Counseling BRCA Patients53:26 - Duavee: Who Benefits?55:32 - Bazedoxifene Access Limits57:47 - Ospemifene for Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM)01:00:37 - Dryness Explained01:02:41 - Thrombosis Risk Screening01:05:01 - UTIs and Vaginal Estrogen01:07:18 - Starting HRT After 6001:12:47 - Window of Opportunity01:14:46 - Staying on HRT01:16:43 - Blood Levels and Absorption01:20:13 - Clinician Takeaways --- More about this episode The conversation explores strategies for managing perimenopause, including when hormonal contraception is the best option and when symptom-focused hormone therapy may be more appropriate.

The medical term for swelling during pregnancy is edema, and it affects the vast majority of expecting moms. Swelling in your legs, feet, and ankles is usually normal and nothing to worry about. However, it can occasionally signal something more serious, like preeclampsia or a blood clot. This episode explains why swelling during pregnancy happens, what you can do to prevent and treat it, and the warning signs that mean you should call your doctor or midwife. We also cover related issues like carpal tunnel and varicose veins, why swelling can actually get worse right after birth, how to handle swelling when you travel, and why so-called water pills are not the answer.

Claire spent a lifetime (and I mean a lifetime) battling TMS in myriad forms, never knowing that there was a solution that connected all of her symptoms. Plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia, and finally larynx and voice disorders that brought her to her knees - Claire became ready to look outside of the medical model for answers. When she landed on this podcast, she knew she was at the precipice of something that was going to change her life. And now... Claire is pregnant! Not only is her pain COMPLETELY GONE, but she is poised to be such a wonderful mother now that she won't be parenting through the lens of her own issues. It's such a gift, one that I've lived personally. Enjoy this inspiring conversation full of so much helpful guidance. Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!
