Erika is joined by friend of the pod and special guest Ashton to react to a Reddit post from a woman who is absolutely DONE being pregnant — stretch marks in places she didn't know could stretch, a partner telling her "your body will be better than ever," and a mom who just keeps saying "focus on the baby." YIKES. We get into why pregnancy horror stories are kept so quiet, the evolutionary reason human childbirth is uniquely dangerous, why women's pain gets minimized the second there's a baby involved, and the man on Instagram who came home for 1-2 hours a day and considered himself a parenting expert.Also: Ashton makes a great case for Dinky trips.

In this episode, glucose expert + bestselling author Jessie Inchauspé reveals the four key nutrients that shape your baby's brain, metabolism, and lifelong health, sharing essential science from her new book 9 Months That Count Forever: How Your Pregnancy Diet Shapes Your Baby's Future. But before the science, Jessie shares the deeply personal story of her silent miscarriage, the grief that followed, and the anxiety she carried into her next pregnancy. In a vulnerable conversation, she opens up about healing, navigating fear, and holding both grief + hope at the same time. Then we dive into the research: how your glucose levels influence your baby's metabolism, why 90% of moms are deficient in choline, and the surprising foods that support brain development and long-term health. If you're thinking about pregnancy—this episode is a must-listen. We also talk about: Jessie's experience with silent miscarriage + navigating pregnancy after loss Why 90% of pregnant women are deficient in choline (+ why it matters for brain development) The surprising connection between blood sugar spikes during pregnancy + your baby's future metabolic health Why the common belief that “the baby takes what it needs” isn't always true The four key nutrition pillars for pregnancy: choline, glucose balance, protein, and omega-3s How epigenetics during pregnancy can influence a child's health for life The myth of “eating for two” + what your baby actually needs nutritionally The emotional + physical realities of pregnancy anxiety after miscarriage What Jessie learned about protein intake + muscle development in babies Her experience with natural birth + preparing for labor Resources: Website: https://www.glucosegoddess.com/fr-fr/pages/9-months-that-count-forever Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glucosegoddess/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GlucoseRevolution Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/9-Months-That-Count-Forever/Jessie-Inchauspe/9781668219126  Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Pregnancy and motherhood come with pressure, opinions, and plenty of advice, but very few honest conversations about how it actually feels to be a mom. “Tell Me I'm a Good Mom” speaks to the pressure to get it right and the fear of being judged when we don't. Through her own transition into motherhood, Lo Bosworth Natale explores the identity shift, expectations, emotional plot twists, and educational hacks that make the journey lighter, all while navigating a culture that performs, posts, and rates motherhood online. This is not about perfect parenting. It is about becoming a mother, for real.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Jim Keany, Chief Medical Officer at Dignity Health St. Mary Medical Center in Long Beach, joins The Bill Handel Show for 'Medical News'! Dr. Keany talks with Bill about more pregnant women are planning births outside of hospitals, National Residency Match Day, and Magnesium for sleep.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede, author of "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." 

Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede is the author of "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." She links diet to the mental health crisis and dementia risk. Ede explains that conventional psychiatric training ignored nutrition, and she later incorporated dietary strategies alongside medication and psychotherapy after personal health experiences. She emphasizes focusing on metabolic and nutritional quality—especially stabilizing blood sugar and insulin—rather than simplistic plant-vs-animal messaging. She argues some animal foods are needed for brain nutrients like B12 and EPA/DHA. She discusses ketogenic diets as a way to lower insulin, produce ketones, improve brain energy, and reduce inflammation, citing case reports and a study of hospitalized patients where many improved and 44% reached remission. She critiques nutrition epidemiology as unreliable and outlines three “quiet” dietary tiers: whole-food low-glycemic, ketogenic, and carnivore, plus practical issues like electrolytes and gradual transition.

We've got a dozen reasons you should listen to this episode, and all of them are eggs. Join the Book Squad for a discussion about Swallows by Natsuo Kirino. We talk about what the title means, whether this book is a thriller (it's not), the Japanese cultural context we're probably missing as Americans, feminism and capitalism, and of course, motherhood and pregnancy. Then we get into some juicy listener feedback that we try not to take too personally, but hey, that's our poblem to deal with. A special Othersode is coming up with guest Catriona Ward, author of Nowhere Burning. We'll chat about Stand By Me with her on March 31.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.

Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.

In this episode, I sit down with Jessie Inchauspé, the French biochemist and NYT bestselling author known worldwide as the Glucose Goddess, to explore her groundbreaking new book Nine Months That Count Forever and why pregnancy nutrition is the most underestimated conversation in medicine today. What we cover: - How four pillars of pregnancy nutrition: choline, protein, omega-3s, and glucose control actively shape your baby's brain and metabolic health. - Why 90% of pregnant mothers lack enough choline, and how this egg yolk nutrient shapes your baby's brain cells and cognitive performance. - How glucose spikes pass to your baby in utero, programming greater vulnerability to obesity and diabetes for life. - Why building muscle before pregnancy protects both mother and baby from excessive blood sugar spikes. - What to do when first-trimester nausea strikes, and why one extra egg yolk a day can still make a difference.   About Jessie Inchauspe: Jessie Inchauspé is a French biochemist, founder, and international bestselling author. She has devoted her career to translating cutting-edge science into easy tips to help people improve their physical and mental health. Through her books Glucose Revolution and The Glucose Goddess Method, which have sold over 3 million copies in 43 languages, she has reshaped the global conversation around blood sugar.

Today’s episode was something I didn’t plan. In fact I had just walked in from an oncology appointment with a medical doctor. As many of you know I got into natural healing and alternative health as a result of my mom’s cancer diagnosis in 1995. At that time she was about 10 years without smoking […] The post My Mom’s Cancer Diagnosis, Kate’s Pregnancy Update & Some Rants! appeared first on Extreme Health Radio.

Pregnancy doesn't just change your life—it transforms your entire biology. Hormones shift, metabolism adapts, nutrient needs increase, and your nervous system recalibrates in ways most women are never fully prepared for. And after birth, the postpartum phase can be one of the most overlooked and underserved stages of a woman's health. In this episode, I answer your most common questions, including: • How to choose the right prenatal vitamins—including why methylated folate matters and the difference between folate and folic acid • Natural ways to manage common pregnancy symptoms like nausea, heartburn, sciatica, and fatigue • Key nutrition strategies during pregnancy to support both mother and baby • What happens during postpartum—from hormone and thyroid shifts to hair loss, immune changes, pelvic floor recovery, and C-section healing Pregnancy and postpartum aren't separate events—they're part of a continuous biological transition that affects hormones, metabolism, and overall health. The goal isn't perfection. It's understanding what your body is going through and supporting it with the right nutrients, habits, and care so you can recover, rebuild, and thrive.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1899DM Most pregnant women believe the placenta acts as a filter, protecting their baby from poor food choices. Jessie Inchauspé reveals the startling truth backed by research from Oslo University Hospital: when you have a blood sugar spike, your baby has one too. The placenta doesn't filter. It trusts that whatever is in your bloodstream belongs in your baby's. This isn't about perfect eating or elimination (Jessie survived her first trimester on croissants). It's about understanding the direct connection between what you consume and what reaches your developing baby. She breaks down why pregnancy isn't a free pass to eat unlimited sugar, how glucose spikes impact mental health and emotional stability, and why "eating for two" is one of the most damaging myths in maternal health. The science is clear, the stakes are real, and the practical wisdom here will reshape how you approach pregnancy nutrition.

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. 1. When taking a prenatal vitamin, how should we interpret the amount of choline listed on the label? If a prenatal lists 300 mg of choline, is that the full amount counted toward the recommended intake, or does it refer to elemental choline? 2. Is sucralose safe to consume while trying to conceive or during pregnancy, or should it be avoided? 3. I've heard that high levels of biotin can interfere with certain blood tests. If a prenatal contains 1000 mcg of biotin and someone is going through IVF with frequent lab work, is that amount considered too high? Should they consider switching prenatals? 4. I'm 38, recently diagnosed with PCOS, and have experienced eight miscarriages. I've also been told I have a weak and shortened cervix and have already had a vaginal cerclage twice without success. Are there any additional options or treatments that could be considered? 5. I'm 38 and recently had a baby conceived naturally, though it took some time to get pregnant. I know the general recommendation is to wait about 18 months before trying to conceive again, but I'm worried that waiting too long could make it harder to get pregnant because of my age. How should someone balance recommended spacing between pregnancies with age-related fertility considerations?

Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain. Today I'm joined by Skye Waterson for our research recap series. In this series, we take a look at a single research paper and dive into what the paper says, how it was conducted, and try to find any practical takeaways. In this episode, we're going to be discussing a paper called "Use of Cosmetics in Pregnancy and Neurotoxicity: Can it Increase the Risks of Congenital Enteric Neuropathies?" That's a lot. In this, the authors explore the hypothesis of neurotoxins such as microplastics, parabens, benzophenones, phthalates, and metals that can cross the placental barrier and disrupt the development of the fetal nervous system.

Leyla Muedin, a registered dietician nutritionist, shifts the discussion beyond cholesterol and statins to “hidden” cardiovascular risks from insufficient vitamin K and folate intake. Citing Cleveland Clinic and other research, she notes a high prevalence of vitamin K deficiency in the U.S. and widespread inadequate folate intake globally, including low folate levels among women of reproductive age. She explains that vitamin K2 may help inhibit arterial and soft-tissue calcification via activation of matrix GLA protein, with studies linking higher K2 (MK-7) intake to lower coronary heart disease risk and slowed coronary artery calcification. Folate supports vascular function through homocysteine metabolism, with evidence associating higher folate intake with lower cardiovascular mortality, emphasizing active 5-MTHF over folic acid due to conversion limitations in many people. She also notes statins can downregulate vitamin K metabolism and encourages discussing risks, benefits, and supplements with a doctor.

The ACOG 2025 guideline specifically recommends either oral or vaginal misoprostol for cervical ripening; it does not include buccal administration among its endorsed routes. With the rising rates of both obesity and labor induction, understanding the optimal agents for induction in obese patients is crucial. In a new study released ahead of print on March 4, 2026, in the AJOG, investigators from Indianapolis released findings from a secondary analysis of the IMPROVE trial (2019, AJOG) looking at the effect of obesity on buccal vs vaginal doses of misoprostol for cervical ripening.

Dental care during pregnancy is often overlooked in routine prenatal counseling, yet hormonal changes, frequent vomiting, dehydration, and acid exposure can significantly impact oral health in pregnancy. In this episode of the MaternalRx Podcast, host Dr. Danielle Plummer, PharmD speaks with Dr. Michael Duboff, DMD, about the critical importance of dental care during pregnancy and how pharmacists and healthcare providers can help prevent long-term complications. From enamel erosion caused by hyperemesis gravidarum to pregnancy gingivitis and periodontal disease, this conversation explores what happens inside the mouth during pregnancy, when tooth damage becomes irreversible, and what practical steps patients and healthcare providers can take to protect oral health. Dr. Duboff also addresses common misconceptions about the safety of dental treatment during pregnancy, including fluoride use, dental X-rays, anesthetics, and the importance of preventive dental care. The episode also highlights insurance and access issues, including how some insurance plans and Medicaid programs may expand dental coverage during pregnancy, an important opportunity for patients to receive needed care. This episode emphasizes the critical role pharmacists can play in maternal health education, early identification of oral health risks, and patient counseling. You'll Learn: • How repeated gastric acid exposure from vomiting can weaken tooth enamel during pregnancy • Why brushing immediately after vomiting can worsen enamel erosion • Safe oral care strategies for pregnant patients with severe nausea or hyperemesis gravidarum • What pregnancy gingivitis is and why hormonal changes increase gum inflammation and bleeding • How fluoride varnish and high-fluoride toothpaste help protect enamel during pregnancy • Why dental cleanings every 3 months may benefit pregnant patients • The link between periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth and low birth weight • Why dental treatment—including X-rays and local anesthetics—is generally safe during pregnancy • Restorative treatment options for enamel erosion and tooth decay, including fillings, crowns, and bonding • How insurance coverage and Medicaid policies may provide expanded dental benefits during pregnancy • The important role pharmacists can play in oral health counseling for pregnant patients Key Clinical Takeaways 1. Gastric Acid Damages Tooth Enamel Frequent vomiting exposes teeth to stomach acid, which erodes enamel and exposes the underlying dentin, increasing the risk of decay and sensitivity. 2. Do NOT Brush Immediately After Vomiting Brushing immediately after vomiting can scrub away weakened enamel. Instead: Rinse with water or a baking soda solution Wait about 30 minutes before brushing 3. Pregnancy Increases Risk of Gingivitis Hormonal changes during pregnancy increase gum inflammation and bleeding, making good oral hygiene and professional cleanings even more important. 4. Dental Care During Pregnancy Is Safe Preventive care and many dental treatments—including dental X-rays with shielding and local anesthetics—are considered safe, particularly during the second trimester. 5. Preventive Care Is Essential Regular dental visits, fluoride treatments, and proper oral hygiene can help prevent irreversible enamel damage and periodontal disease. 6. Insurance Coverage May Improve During Pregnancy Some insurance plans and Medicaid programs expand dental coverage for pregnant patients, providing an important opportunity to receive preventive care and necessary dental treatment. Practical Counseling Tips for Pharmacists Pharmacists can support pregnant patients by recommending: • Rinsing with water or baking soda solution after vomiting • Waiting 30 minutes before brushing teeth • Using fluoride toothpaste or prescription high-fluoride toothpaste if appropriate • Maintaining hydration whenever possible • Scheduling regular dental visits during pregnancy • Seeking evaluation for bleeding gums, tooth sensitivity, or oral pain Because pharmacists are often the most accessible healthcare professionals, they play an important role in identifying oral health risks early and encouraging patients to seek dental care.

Over the years, birth has slowly shifted from a natural, woman-centered experience to something much more medicalized — and most pregnant moms have no idea why.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how modern maternity care evolved, why so many women are left feeling like their bodies are broken (or are told something along those lines), and what you can do right now to walk into birth feeling confident, informed, and supported.Because the truth is… your body isn't broken.When you understand how birth actually works — and how the system around birth operates — everything begins to look different. You can start to trust your body again, ask better questions, and make decisions that truly support the birth experience you want.I absolutely loved recording this episode because it gives moms the bigger picture that most of us were never taught. Understanding the history and structure of maternity care can completely change the way you prepare for birth — and help you walk into labor feeling calm, confident, and empowered.This is an episode every I hope every pregnant mom has a chance to hear before she gives birth.Here are some highlights from the episode:• How birth slowly shifted from a normal life event to a highly medicalized experience • The rise of interventions like inductions, Cesarean birth, and routine procedures in modern birth • Why helpful medical tools sometimes become routine practices — even when they aren't always necessary • What research actually says about home birth vs hospital birth for low-risk pregnancies • Why your birth environment plays a huge role in how your body labors • What the pandemic revealed about birth choices and maternity care systems • The hidden limitations of many hospital birth classes • The epidural conversation many moms aren't prepared for before labor begins • Why informed consent matters and the options many women don't realize they have during birth • The foundational pieces that help women feel confident and empowered heading into labor • Postpartum decisions most moms never realize they'll be making before birthTune in to learn how understanding the system around birth can help you take back ownership of your experience, trust your body, and prepare for the empowered birth you deserve.Don't forget to RATE & FOLLOW the Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy Podcast!

The answer is yes, and in this conversation, you'll hear practical tips and thoughtful guidance on how to make it work.

In this episode I am chatting about one of the most overlooked foundations of preconception health: your nervous system.So often, the focus is entirely on hormones, supplements, and lab testing — but your nervous system is the lens through which your body interprets safety. And safety is essential for optimal hormone signaling, ovulation, and creating an environment supportive of pregnancy.I'm sharing some of my favorite simple, practical tools I'm personally prioritizing in this season, and with many of my preconception clients, to help shift the body out of chronic stress and into a more regulated, resilient state.These are not complicated protocols — they're small, consistent signals of safety to your body.If you're in a preconception season, or simply working toward better hormone balance, these practices can be powerful additions to your foundation.Red light shower protocol Castor oil Clean brands I love Follow on socials @drhalieschoff

Sperm count has dropped roughly 1% every single year, and most men have no idea their lifestyle choices are the driving force.

On this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig and I dive into our monthly Q&A where we answer a wide range of listener questions. We cover topics like ulcerative colitis and peptides, what it looks like mentally when you know you need to gain weight but you're struggling with the idea of it, and how to navigate a relationship when you're sober but your spouse is dealing with alcoholism. We also talk about the best type of creatine, along with several other health, fitness, and mindset questions that came in from you guys.   Register for our Masterclass on March 23, 2026 - Register Here   Next Level Links: Nutrition Coaching Free Consultations - Schedule Here Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Co-Host Craig Smith - @greatestdaymindset Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition
