Nicole Phelps shares her experience being pregnant while her partner, Michael Phelps, was training for the Olympics. She hired a doula and prepared to possibly give birth without Michael there. A few weeks before her due date, Nicole started experiencing extreme itchiness, especially on the palms of her hands, and was tested for Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP). However, she went into labor before the results came back. Michael made it just in time, and her son, Boomer, was born healthy. The test result came back positive and she knew she'd have to be on the lookout for another ICP diagnosis with future pregnancies. On this episode, she also shares her second pregnancy and birth story and how her doctor monitored her for ICP leading up to her son Beckett's birth. Nicole wanted to share her story to raise awareness about ICP so other women can be on the lookout for the symptoms. Links: Airdoctorpro.com code BIRTHHOUR for up to $300 off!

In this incredible birth story, My Essential Birth parents Christa and Morgan take us through one of the most incredible journeys I have ever had the honor of sharing on this podcast. From a heartbreaking miscarriage to living on the road during pregnancy, to refusing a life flight and driving eight hours home, to an unmedicated delivery nobody saw coming (and a 32-week baby who left every nurse in the NICU completely speechless) this story will stay with you long after you finish listening.This episode is PROOF that when you prepare, advocate, and work together as a couple — you can have an amazing experience no matter which twist and turns pregnancy and birth take. I promise, this is one you do not want to miss!Here's some highlights from the episode:

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. John La Puma, internist, chef, and regenerative farmer.

Indoor Epidemic: Prescribing Nature, Light, Air, and Movement with Dr. John La Puma, internist, chef, and regenerative farmer. His book, "Indoor Epidemic," argues that spending about 93% of life indoors undermines health through poor light timing, air quality, limited movement, and reduced nature exposure. La Puma cites data that outdoor morning light helps set circadian rhythms, while nighttime blue light can impair sleep quality and raise cardiovascular risks, referencing a large UK Biobank study. He discusses indoor pollutants and CO2 buildup affecting inflammation and cognition, recommends strategies like getting daylight early (even just a sky view), using circadian lighting, and taking brief outdoor breaks to reduce myopia risk. He describes measurable benefits of forest bathing and gardening (including immune and mood effects), notes hospital studies linking window views to shorter stays and less pain medication, and reviews his pioneering work in culinary medicine now taught widely in medical schools, emphasizing cooking and growing food as preventive and therapeutic tools.

In this episode, K+L unpack the body image conditioning many women carry from their twenties into adulthood. From dieting, comparison, and dating insecurities to confidence, pregnancy, and healing, this conversation reframes what it really means to feel at home in your body. They explore how women are taught to use their bodies as currency—and what happens when you stop. Krista shares how her body transformation changed her dating life, while Lindsey opens up about pregnancy, identity shifts, and learning to release control.  K+L dive into intuitive eating, body acceptance, nervous system regulation, and learning your unique blueprint for wellness. If you've struggled with food, body image, hormones, or self-worth, you are certainly not alone, and there is hope for a more loving relationship with your vessel.  We also talk about: -Body image struggles in your 20s vs. your 30s -Using your body as “currency” in dating + relationships -Healing your relationship with food + ending restriction cycles -Pregnancy, body changes, and identity shifts -Why body neutrality may be more powerful than body love -Understanding hormones, birth control, and mood shifts -Emotional eating, control, and fitness culture -Learning your unique blueprint for sleep, movement, and nutrition -Confidence, femininity, and attracting healthier relationships -Building a relationship with your body before dating Resources: -Instagram: @lindseysimcik -Instagram: @itskrista -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.

This week on The Mom Room, Renee is joined by Jessie Inchauspé, aka the Glucose Goddess. Jessie's scientific background has helped her reach a massive audience where she shares through her own personal health journey (mental and physical) how to make informed choices when it comes to nutrition. Jessie explains how her new book, 9 Months That Count Forever, came to be and what she uncovered about the female body by digging into the science. Renee and Jessie discuss how disempowering the classic lines of "avoid cold cuts" and "don't eat sushi" are, and how there's actually so many cool things that pregnant women can add to their nutrition to feel empowered knowing that they are doing what's most optimal for their baby's growth, in utero and in life. Knowledge is power and if you are looking for more information on how to go about nutrition while pregnant, this episode is for you!

 Fertility Docs Uncensored Today's episode of Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center, they are joined by guest Dr. Michael Homer of RSC Bay Area in Los Gatos and Menlo Park. The discussion focuses on natural conception success rates compared to IUI and IVF, with a strong emphasis on the impact of age. Patients under 35 have the highest chance of conceiving naturally, while success declines with age, making early evaluation important. Patients are considered to have infertility if they have tried to conceive after unprotected intercourse for one year. The doctors discuss when you should see a fertility doctor sooner. The group highlights earlier evaluation for patients over 36, those with endometriosis, prior pelvic surgery, irregular ovulation, or a partner with low sperm count. What are realistic success rates with IUI? IUI success is largely age-based and generally brings patients close to their natural baseline but does not exceed it. Who are the best candidates for IUI? Ideal candidates include those who ovulate or respond to oral medications, have open fallopian tubes, and have a partner with adequate sperm parameters. When is IVF a better option? IVF may be more effective for patients seeking a faster path to pregnancy or those with lower chances using less aggressive treatments. Younger patients may achieve multiple embryos from one retrieval, while older patients benefit from quicker feedback and the ability to repeat cycles if needed. IVF success rates for patients under 35 are often around 65%, though many patients underestimate their chances for success. This episode is sponsored by Reproductive Science Center. 

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with holistic practitioner Jane Jansen from the Tree of Life Wellness Center in Massachusetts.

New Study Links Aged Garlic Extract to Better Cognition: Holistic practitioner Jane Jansen from the Tree of Life Wellness Center in Massachusetts reveals a newly published double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial at the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA involving 72 participants with pre-hypertension or hypertension. Over 12 weeks, one group took 2,400 mg/day of Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract (Reserve formula), and cognitive function was tracked using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Jansen reports that 92% of the aged garlic extract group had no cognitive impairment after the trial, while the placebo group showed more cognitive decline, with benefits attributed to increased nitric oxide bioavailability, improved endothelial function, better cerebral blood flow, nerve protection/repair, and enhanced brain waste removal. She contrasts this approach with costly Alzheimer's plaque-busting drugs and discusses prevention strategies, including diet, sleep (glymphatic system), exercise, inflammation control, and circulation-supporting nutrients such as nattokinase.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses joint inflammation—its symptoms (swelling, pain, redness, warmth, morning stiffness, reduced range of motion) and why it is usually a sign of an underlying condition rather than a disease itself. She reviews common causes including osteoarthritis (cartilage wear and tear), rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune synovium attack with prolonged morning stiffness and fatigue), gout (uric acid crystals, often in the big toe), psoriatic arthritis, injuries, autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus, ankylosing spondylitis, Sjogren's), infections such as septic arthritis requiring urgent care, and surrounding-tissue problems like tendonitis and bursitis. Lifestyle factors that worsen inflammation include excess weight, poor diet (including unaddressed food allergies; avoiding nightshades is suggested), insulin resistance contributing to gout, lack of exercise, smoking, and stress. Management strategies include rest, bracing, ice vs. heat, OTC anti-inflammatories, gentle low-impact exercise, anti-inflammatory foods, weight loss, treating root causes, and supplements such as glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, bromelain, turmeric, Boswellia, and quercetin.

Send us Fan MailHow exercise in parents can improve the metabolic and cardiovascular health of their offspring through epigenetic mechanisms.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Parental exercise & offspring metabolic health: exercise before and during pregnancy improves glucose tolerance and reduces fat gain in offspring.Paternal effects via sperm: moderate voluntary wheel running alters small non-coding RNAs, especially tRNA fragments, in sperm and enhances glucose clearance, with stronger benefits in female offspring.Maternal exercise mechanisms: benefits arise from in utero environment, placental changes, and breast milk composition rather than major oocyte alterations.Human milk oligosaccharides: exercise increases 3'-sialyllactose in milk, linked to better offspring microbiome and metabolic outcomes.Sex-biased & intergenerational effects: maternal exercise impacts male offspring metabolism more; effects can transmit to F2 generation depending on the transmitting parent's sex.ABOUT THE GUEST: Kristin Stanford, PhD is an associate professor in the Department of Physiology and Cell Biology at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, where she serves as associate director of the Diabetes and Metabolism Research Center. Her lab investigates molecular mechanisms by which exercise enhances metabolic and cardiovascular health, with a focus on intergenerational effects.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 145: Epigenetics, Endocrine Disruptors, Obesogens & Obesity, Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics | Bruce BlumbergSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners:AquaTru: Water filtration devices that remove microplastics, metals, bacteria, and more from your drinking water.

Can you become a mom if you're struggling with insomnia? This episode kicks off a new mini-series on “Momsomnia” with honest, reassuring answers. Drawing from her own experience with insomnia before, during, and after pregnancy, she tackles the biggest fears many women face—fertility, caring for a baby, and whether sleep will get worse. Her message is simple but powerful: your body is resilient, and both sleep and motherhood don't require perfection to work. In fact, pressure and fear around sleep often make things harder—not easier.

Maybe you guessed it?! Lindsey is pregnant with baby #2!

She also shares mindset shifts around partnership, presence, and creating a supportive dynamic during major life changes. Plus, Lindsey answers your most-asked pregnancy questions—including her workout routine, nutrition, supplements, and what surprised her most about this pregnancy.

Using the analytical framework of reproductive justice, Borders, Citizenship, and Pregnancy: Migrant Women's Experiences of Pregnancy and Maternity Care in the UK (Bristol UP, 2025) by Dr. Gwyneth Lonergan examines migrant women's experiences of pregnancy and maternity care within the broader context of gendered and racialised discourses and policies around health, reproduction and citizenship, austerity and an expanding border regime. Based on interviews and focus groups with migrant mothers, third sector workers and NHS staff, this open-access book explores how immigration policies impact reproductive practices and unevenly distribute access to essential resources and support. The book provides valuable insights into the underlying social causes behind migrant women's relatively poor maternal outcomes and contributes significantly to scholarship on the intersections of citizenship, reproduction and expanding border controls. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What if the birth plan you worked so hard on… actually set you up for disappointment?Most moms spend hours researching, Googling templates, and checking every box, and still walk away from birth feeling blindsided, unprepared, or like the whole experience just happened to them.And it's not their fault. It's because nobody ever showed them what a birth plan is actually supposed to do, or the mistakes that quietly sabotage even the most prepared moms in the birth room.In this episode, I'm talking about the most common birth plan mistakes I see all the time, and more importantly, exactly what to do instead.Whether you're just starting to think about your birth plan or you already have one and something feels off, this episode is going to change the way you think about it completely.Here are some highlights from the episode:• Why the birth plan templates you find online might be working against you • The real reason birth plans fall flat when labor actually begins • Mistake #1: The mindset shift that changes how you approach your birth plan • Mistake #2: The powerful (and totally underused) way to use your birth plan before you ever step foot in a delivery room • Mistake #3: Why planning only for your ideal birth can leave you feeling lost when things shift • How to use your birth plan to learn something really important about your provider ahead of time • The free Birth Map download that makes the whole process feel so much easier: https://www.myessentialbirth.com/birthplanBirth doesn't have to go perfectly for you to walk away feeling incredible about your experience.What matters most is that you felt informed, understood your options, and had a voice every step of the way.

We are back with another breastfeeding-only Q&A episode. In today's conversation, we respond to several listener questions related to nursing, sleep, and fertility after breastfeeding. One mother who is co-sleeping with her 15-month-old, who wakes three to five times per night to nurse, asks how she can help her toddler sleep longer stretches without abruptly stopping breastfeeding. Another listener with a 4.5-month-old who has never taken a bottle is planning to attend a bachelorette party when her baby will be about nine months old and asks how best to prepare. We also hear from a mother who recently weaned her two-year-old and then experienced a very early miscarriage, often called a chemical pregnancy, and wonders whether she should consider hormonal support before trying to conceive again.As for our Quickies: Is it concerning if a 12-week-old drops slightly on the growth curve while still gaining weight, what the issue is with the Boppy pillow for breastfeeding, and can you continue breastfeeding while taking antibiotics for mastitis? We also discuss healing cracked nipples after a tongue-tie release, whether milk will come in normally if you breastfeed during pregnancy, and whether lactation cookies or brewer's yeast actually increase supply. As also cover oversupply with a second baby, postpartum chills when milk comes in, storing breast milk and keeping pump parts clean on long drives, preventing recurrent mastitis from oversupply, whether a mild tongue tie should be released if breastfeeding is going well, what a “nursing holiday” is and whether it can help supply and latch, and how to help a bottle-fed newborn latch to the breast.Just us on Patreon for our upcoming all-Quickies episode, exclusive to patrons-only.Controversial article we discussed in this episode:My Decision Not to Breastfeed with Elise Hewitt#239 | The Cost of Breastfeeding Versus Formula Feeding with Dr. Rhonda Trust, PhD**********Send us Fan Mail Needed

Integrative rheumatologist Dr. Aly Cohen combines conventional rheumatology medications with lifestyle and environmental health approaches to manage autoimmune disease, emphasizing nutrition, sleep, exercise, the gut microbiome, and reducing exposure to synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and contaminated water. They discuss how immunosuppressive drugs can be lifesaving but carry infection risks, and how “risk mitigation” and anti-inflammatory dietary patterns can support resilience. Cohen highlights vitamin D's importance in autoimmunity and COVID outcomes and lists four foundational supplements: a clean multivitamin (including iodine), vitamin D3 guided by blood levels, a quality probiotic, and omega-3 fish oil with adequate EPA+DHA; they also cover cautious use of curcumin, limited enthusiasm for glucosamine/chondroitin, and a measured view of collagen. Cohen promotes her hybrid Smart Human Health Summit on women's health (Saturday, April 25), featuring clinicians speaking on menopause/HRT, dementia, cardiology, endocrinology, GLP-1s, and toxins, with in-person, virtual, and recorded access.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Integrative rheumatologist Dr. Aly Cohen. 

Roxanne breaks down Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP) —a pregnancy-specific liver condition (about 2–3% of pregnancies) where bile acids build up in the bloodstream, often causing intense itching on palms/soles with no rash. She reviews other possible symptoms (jaundice, dark urine, light stools, fatigue, right upper quadrant pain), how diagnosis is made with symptoms plus bile acid labs (and sometimes liver enzymes), and how treatment depends on bile acid levels. Roxanne discusses options such as meds to lower bile acids and improve itching, fetal monitoring (NSTs/BPPs), and sometimes induction as early as 36 weeks—especially if bile acids are over 100. She explains baby risks (preterm birth, respiratory distress, stillbirth), including stillbirth rates. ICP usually resolves after birth but can recur (40–60%).Links for non stress test and biophysical profile breakdowns:NST: https://youtu.be/Bl-Q-GBHGLEBPP: https://youtu.be/r-holR0V4u000:00 Welcome and Overview00:16 Meet the Hosts01:04 ICP Symptoms and Why It Matters01:29 What ICP Is in the Liver02:15 Risks for Mom and Baby03:32 Other Signs and Diagnosis04:22 Treatment and Monitoring Plan05:24 Bile Acid Levels and Induction Timing06:49 Stillbirth Risk Numbers Explained09:08 Quick ICP Recap11:20 After Birth and Future Pregnancies11:59 Questions, Course, and Wrap-Up————Get Your Copy of Training for Two on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3VOTdwH

Blanket rules about running during pregnancy sound comforting, until they leave you stuck between fear and frustration. We want something more useful: a clear way to decide what's safe, what's sustainable, and what actually fits your body right now.We dig into what the research is saying about prenatal running safety, including longer distances, and why “safe” does not mean “identical for everyone.” We walk through the variables that shape your experience, like your pre-pregnancy fitness, injury history, fueling, and the reality that pelvic floor dysfunction is common in endurance athletes before pregnancy even starts. We also talk about why comparing your current pregnancy to someone else's, or even to your first pregnancy, can backfire when sleep, recovery, and family demands change.From there we get practical: how pregnancy can shift gait mechanics, why lower body strength matters more as your center of mass moves, and what to try when symptoms show up. Instead of treating pelvic pressure, SI joint pain, or knee pain as an automatic stop sign, we explore the “rehab first” mindset: small form changes, strength support, and smart training edits that may help you keep running if it matters to you, or switch to cross-training without shame if it doesn't.If you ran during pregnancy and you're less than a year postpartum, we'd love your help with our research by sharing your Garmin training logs. Subscribe, share this with a running friend, and leave a review so more active moms can find nuanced, evidence-based pregnancy exercise guidance.___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

I'm joined by doula, childbirth educator, and founder of Baby To Go, Sarah Ludwig, to talk about what it actually means to prepare for birth and why so many parents feel overwhelmed, anxious, or like they have to "get it right."   Together, we explore:   What a doula actually does and how they support families during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Why pregnancy can increase anxiety, and how to work with it instead of against it. The difference between what you can control and what you can't during birth. How to think about birth plans as flexible "preferences" rather than fixed outcomes. Why trying to control every detail can sometimes make anxiety worse. How to build confidence in your ability to cope, even when things don't go as planned. The role of postpartum planning and why it's often overlooked. How to recognize when anxiety is within a normal range and when it might need more support.   Instead of focusing on creating the perfect plan, this conversation is about building your ability to cope with uncertainty and feel more confident in the process.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

An exclusive interview with Catherine Herring, the wife who accused her husband of poisoning her, to end her pregnancy.Catherine Herring claims her whole life changed after she told her husband that she was pregnant with their 3rd child. Now, at the time of the pregnancy announcement, Catherine says she and her husband were separated, but she believed they were actively working to repair their marriage. But in the coming weeks after that announcement, Catherine claims she discovered her husband secretly poisoning her drinks, on multiple occasions with an abortion inducing medication in a sole attempt to end their un-born baby's life. In an exclusive interview, Dr. Phil sits down with Catherine Herring to listen to the alleged details behind her husband's ultimate betrayal.Thank you to our sponsors who helped make this episode possible:Preserve Gold - text "ASK PHIL" to 50505 and go to https://DrPhilGold.comDon't wait!

I'll be honest, postpartum has challenged me in ways I never expected and this season of fitness looks nothing like my first journey. In this solo episode, I'm sharing my real postpartum fitness update, what's working for me, what has felt hard, and how I'm approaching weight loss, strength, nutrition, and recovery after pregnancy, a C-section, and breastfeeding. I talk about why I personally found it difficult to lose weight while breastfeeding, how my mindset has shifted since becoming a mom, the exact training split I'm following right now, what I'm eating, the supplements I'm loving, and why I'm being transparent about exploring peptides and possibly GLP-1s. This is not about bounce back culture. For me, it's about feeling strong, energized, confident, and more like myself again so I can show up better for my son, my family, and me. _____ Leave Me a Message -⁠ click here!⁠ (https://sayhi.chat/pursuitofwellness) For Mari's Instagram⁠ click here!⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/marillewellyn/?igshid=MDM4ZDc5MmU%3D) For Pursuit of Wellness Podcast's Instagram⁠ click here!⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/pursuitofwellnesspodcast/) For Mari's Newsletter⁠ click here!⁠ (https://marillewellyn.com/) For Mari's TikTok⁠ click here!
