Co-host: Tom Druke, Balchem Corporation & Dr. Eric Ciappio, Balchem CorporationGuests: Dr. Stephen Hursting & Dr. Susan Smith, University of North Carolina Nutrition Research Institute; Dr. Steven Zeisel, University of North Carolina; Dr. Kevin Klatt, University of California, Berkeley; Dr. Richard Canfield, Cornell University; Dr. Colin Carter, Columbia University; Dr. Joe McFadden, Cornell UniversityToday's episode was filmed at the Future Directions in Choline Symposium put on by the University of North Carolina Nutrition Research Institute.Our first guests are Dr. Stephen Hursting and Dr. Susan Smith, the director and deputy director of the UNC Nutrition Research Institute. Steve and Susan give some background regarding the inspiration behind the conference as well as what will be covered during the symposium. The gathering is an opportunity to get the leading choline researchers together to update each other and build the momentum of choline research. The last time choline researchers gathered was in 1998, when requirements were set. (0:50)The next guest on our roster is Dr. Mark Manary, a professor of pediatrics at the Washington University School of Medicine. Mark's symposium talk discusses choline and food aid. Food aid products are specially designed to address needs from crisis situations. These specialized food aid products are standardized to meet great deficiency or inadequacy needs. On the most extreme side, there is a product called ready-to-eat therapeutic food for children who are starving to death. Other food aid products include those for children who are severely underweight. Dr. Manary's research consists of clinical trials in sub-Saharan Africa that include different nutrients in food aid to see if there are improvements in children's responses. One trial with the inclusion of DHA found a 6-15 IQ point difference by adding fish oil or DHA. Mark hypothesizes that a doubling of that effect will be observed when choline is added. (6:52)Next up is Dr. Kevin Klatt with the University of California - Berkeley. His symposium talk consisted of choline and DHA, focusing on two areas of his work. The first is dietary choline's impact on the production of phosphatidylcholine species enriched in the omega-three DHA, specifically in pregnancy. The second is interactions between lauric acid and choline, where a phosphatidylcholine species can actually bind to proteins that turn genes on and off. In one experiment, Kevin's group hypothesized that inadequate choline intake during pregnancy compromises the efficient handling of DHA by the liver. They showed in a randomized controlled trial that supplementation with choline dramatically improved the status indicators of DHA status. (17:33)Our fourth segment features Dr. Richard Canfield from Cornell University, whose symposium talk focused on choline and neurodevelopment. Rick is a developmental psychologist by training who works in infant and early child cognition. He has researched visual cognition and speed of information processing with babies in the first year of life for women who received a diet containing the recommended intake of choline and those who received double the recommended intake during pregnancy. They found that cognition improved for babies in the high choline group over their first year of age, which was maintained until seven years of age. The cohort is now 14 years old, and additional testing is being conducted to see if in utero exposure to choline still impacts the children 14 years later. (29:51)Dr. Robert Colin Carter from Columbia University is our next guest. His talk focused on choline and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). His research has mainly been fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, with a particular interest in how both maternal and child nutrition might impact the teratogenic effects of alcohol. Prenatal alcohol exposure is the most common preventable cause of developmental delay worldwide, and a common view might be that women should just stop drinking. Dr. Carter argues that view is shortsighted because alcohol use is a really complicated problem for a lot of people. Asking someone who has an alcohol use disorder to stop drinking is probably not realistic for a lot of women. In animal models, supplementing a pregnant dam with choline seems to ameliorate at least some of the teratogenic effects of alcohol. Dr. Carter has completed a pilot study of 70 women from South Africa where beneficial effects of choline treatment during pregnancy were observed for growth, neurobehavior, and memory in their children. Another clinical study with 300 participants is now underway.  (51:38)We end our day one episode with a wrap-up from Dr. Dr. Susan Smith with the University of North Carolina Nutrition Research Institute and Dr. Joe McFadden with Cornell University. Susan emphasized the recurring message that choline is so important in prenatal health and in early postnatal periods. Pregnant and lactating women generally don't take enough choline, and choline is so important for healthy brain development in the fetus and the infant. Joe's takeaways from the livestock side of things include the impact of choline on colostrum production in animals and early-life supplementation in young livestock.

IUGR is another term thrown around independently that needs fixing. It is important to note that these issues are often figured out at a scan at 36 wks or so and one diagnosis is often considered as the standalone complexity and women are then presented with options to fix it, mostly an Induction.Now, big babies have all been born through history vaginally without any issues.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that can cause respiratory infections in people of all ages, including pregnant women. RSV infections are more prevalent during the fall and winter months. While RSV infections are usually mild and cold-like in healthy adults, they can lead to more severe respiratory symptoms in certain populations, including young infants and individuals with weakened immune systems. In the context of pregnancy, RSV infections are generally considered a concern primarily because of the potential impact on the health of the mother and the developing fetus. Here are some key points to consider regarding RSV in pregnancy: Risks to the Pregnant Woman: Pregnant women may be at a slightly increased risk of developing severe RSV-related symptoms compared to non-pregnant individuals. Symptoms of an RSV infection in adults can include fever, cough, congestion, and shortness of breath. Severe cases may require hospitalization. Risks to the Fetus: RSV infections in pregnant women do not typically cause direct harm to the fetus, such as birth defects. However, severe respiratory infections in the mother can potentially reduce the oxygen supply to the fetus, which could be problematic in rare cases. There is some evidence to suggest that maternal RSV infection may be associated with an increased risk of preterm birth. Prevention: Pregnant women can take steps to reduce their risk of RSV infection, such as practicing good hand hygiene, avoiding close contact with individuals who are sick, and following respiratory etiquette (covering mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing). There is a medication called palivizumab (Synagis) that can be given to certain high-risk infants to help prevent severe RSV disease, but it is not typically recommended for pregnant women. Treatment: Treatment for RSV infection in pregnant women is generally supportive, focusing on managing symptoms and maintaining adequate hydration. Pregnant women with severe symptoms may require hospitalization for oxygen therapy and other interventions. It's important for pregnant women to consult with their healthcare providers if they develop symptoms of a respiratory infection like RSV, especially if the symptoms are severe or persistent. Healthcare professionals can provide guidance on appropriate management and treatment. As with any health concern during pregnancy, it's essential to follow the advice and recommendations of your healthcare provider to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the developing fetus.   Your feedback is essential to us!

    We're thrilled to welcome Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Minette Herrick on our latest episode of WarDocs. A Registered Dietician and international board-certified Lactation Consultant, Minette provides important insights on her compelling research, which draws from professional studies and personal experiences. The focus is on her enlightening article, 'Increasing Maternity Leave and Decreasing Attrition Rates of US Active Duty Women in the Prenatal and Immediate Postpartum Period.' She brings to the fore the critical issues surrounding maternity leave policies and their effect on the retention rates of female service members. We take you through the intriguing journey of the Department of Navy's shift from a six-week maternity leave policy to an 18-week one. Explore with us how this transition has significantly impacted the recruitment and retention rates in the military sector. We also shed light on critical policies like the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 and 2009 and the Secretary of Defense Leave Policy of 2016. Learn about the influence these policy shifts, including the Military Couples Caregiver Separation policy, have had on the experiences of Active-Duty married members. Join in and gain a broader understanding of the importance of family-friendly policies in the military. Chapters: (00:00) Extended Maternity Leave in the Military (08:23) Military Maternity Leave and Retention Rates   Chapter Summaries: (00:00) Extended Maternity Leave in the Military Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Minette Herrick, a registered dietician and international board-certified lactation consultant, speaks about her article Increasing Maternity Leave and Decreasing Attrition Rates of US Active Duty Women in the Prenatal and Immediate Postpartum Period. Minette explains the reasons for her research, which included her personal experience of having four children while on active duty, and explores how providing paid parental leave can impact the organization. The results of the research show that women who are allotted six weeks of maternity leave had significantly greater odds of leaving the military, measured from the time of their initial prenatal visit to one year postpartum, than those who are entitled to 12 weeks of leave. We discuss the implications of these findings and the importance of health policy in positively impacting the health of people both inside and outside of the military.   (08:23) Military Maternity Leave and Retention Rates We discuss the changes in the Department of Navy's maternity leave policy, from six weeks to 18 weeks, and the impact it has had on recruitment and retention of female service members. We shed light on the importance of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 and 2009, which first allowed for maternity leave, and the Secretary of Defense Leap Policy of 2016, which allowed for 12 weeks of parental leave for both birth parents after a period of convalescent leave. We explore the implications of the Military Couples Caregiver Separation policy, which gives active-duty married members the option to request caregiver separation. Finally, we discuss the findings of a retrospective cohort study of 67,281 active-duty women that found increased allotment of maternity leave from six weeks to 12 weeks was associated with decreased attrition rates.     Take Home Messages: Maternity leave policies can have a significant impact on the retention rates of female service members in the military. The shift from a six-week to an 18-week maternity leave policy in the Department of Navy has considerably influenced recruitment and retention rates. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 and 2009 and the Secretary of Defense Leap Policy of 2016 have played a crucial role in shaping maternity leave policies in the military. Policies such as the Military Couples Caregiver Separation policy have affected the experiences of active-duty married members. Family-friendly policies are of paramount importance in the military, helping to foster a healthier and more supportive environment for service members. Women who were allotted six weeks of maternity leave had significantly greater odds of leaving the military than those who received 12 weeks of leave. The Department of Defense's policy change in 2016, which increased maternity leave from six to 12 weeks, was intended to encourage workforce recruitment and retention and help the well-being of military families. Changes in maternity leave policy had the most significant retention benefit among junior enlisted and junior officers, emphasizing the importance of retaining talent among future leaders and innovators in the military. The new parental leave policy implemented in 2023, providing 12 weeks of leave to both birth parents, should be studied further for its impact on attrition, family dynamics, and paternal bonding. Family-friendly policies not only help retain talent but also send an essential message to military members and their families, affirming that the vitality of the military family is essential to mission success.   Episode Keywords: Military Maternity Leave, Retention Rates, National Defense Authorization Act, Secretary of Defense Leap Policy, Military Couples Caregiver Separation, Prenatal Visit, Postpartum Period, Paid Parental Leave, Health Policy, Attrition Rates, Convalescent Leave, Retrospective Cohort Study   Hashtags: #MilitaryMaternityLeave #PolicyShifts #RetentionRates #LieutenantColonelHerrick #MilitaryFamilies #WomenInMilitary #MaternityPolicyChange #FamilyFriendlyPolicies #ActiveDuty #MilitaryMedicine #WarDocsPodcast #ParentalLeave #NavyMaternityPolicy #MilitaryRetention #NationalDefenseAuthorizationAct #MilitaryRecruitment #MilitaryAttritionRates #MilitaryServiceMembers #MilitaryFamilySupport #PostpartumInMilitary   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

Joni Hanson Davis is the female founder of Kirkland, Washington Femtech company Beli, modernizing reproductive, prenatal, and fertility health based on the latest nutritional science with one small, yet significant act of a daily prenatal vitamin for both men and women. After a long successful career leading Fortune 500 companies and technology startups to IPO, Davis founded Beli in 2018 with a personal mission to address the growing crisis of infertility and modernize the stagnant prenatal vitamin market. The fertility market is a $24B market, and yet prenatal vitamins still haven't caught up with modern nutritional science. 50% of all infertility can be traced to male infertility and nutrition plays a major role in successful pregnancy outcomes and science led Beli to look deeper at how nutrition plays a vital role in sperm health, launching the first modern male prenatal in 2019. Today, thousands of men across the country are using Beli and the company has built a following of loyal customers including heavy-hitter celebrity customers. The success of the men's prenatal vitamin led Beli to launch an exclusive women's prenatal in 2021 based on the latest folate and choline research to address both male and female fertility nutrition together. Beli has grown organically to become a profitable company with a multi-million dollar run rate with a small investment from strategic angel investors in the direct to consumer space in less than two years. Beli will be raising a Series A round this summer to further accelerate its strong growth. Prior to Beli, Davis held executive positions with Microsoft, InfoSpace, and Tableau Software.   https://belibaby.com https://www.instagram.com/beli.baby/   For more information about Michelle, visit www.michelleoravitz.com The Wholesome Fertility facebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/ Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/

In this hilarious podcast segment, we dive into the quirks and challenges of parenting, with a focus on how partners can navigate the journey together. Jamie and Emily reflect on their experiences and the shortcomings of traditional prenatal classes that often sideline partners. They reminisce about teaching their early classes in hospital settings, where the curriculum seemed exclusively tailored to birthing moms, leaving partners feeling like awkward passengers on the parenting ride. Jamie emphasizes the need for equality in parenting roles and suggests practical ways to include partners. They stress the importance of setting the tone early on by discussing and deciding how to handle various aspects of parenting, such as pediatrician appointments, managing sick kids and sharing responsibilities during the night. Amidst the laughter, they delve into the broader implications of such decisions, emphasizing the need for partners to share the load and experience the on-the-job training that comes with parenting. They highlight the importance of communication, teamwork, and setting the stage for an equal and supportive partnership in the chaotic world of parenting.

Today, Joselyn Miller, owner of Motherhood Strong joins me on the podcast cast and we have such a fun conversation. Becoming a mother is something that changes every priority without you even realizing it. It also changes the way you are able to do a lot of things, including your ability to exercise and be active. Especially when you are "in the trenches" those first 18 months to 2 years. Joselyn started Motherhood Strong to build community and support women in ways that was helpful to the specific season they are in with prenatal and postnatal fitness. She knows that your body is different as you are preparing for having a baby and then again after you deliver. Maintaining your fitness or regaining your fitness has to look different and Joselyn knows just how to teach you how to listen to your body and still get the results that you want.   She teases that she actually put this community together so she could have friends. Please check out her website and social media. Be sure to share this episode with all of your mom friends and let them know they are not alone if their exercise currently looks really weird.

Michelle talks with Joni about why men taking prenatals are just as important for men for a healthy pregnancy. Dr. Thomas Su is a cosmetic surgeon and the owner of ArtLipo Plastic Surgery based in Tampa, Florida. It is a highly regarded clinic providing some of the most advanced liposuction procedures in the world. He has performed awake - only liposuction for over 15 years. He joins Michelle to talk about his practice and lipedema, how it affect women and what can be done for it.Dr. Su is defined by his passion for art since high school. He went on to study human figure drawing, painting, and sculpting in college, resulting in a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts. His love for art of the human figure is made apparent in all of his work and is the reason for his high degree of perfectionism when it comes to liposuction.Compared to other cosmetic or plastic surgeons who perform a myriad of different surgeries, Dr. Su concentrates on only liposuction. He has developed advanced skills and a level of expertise that few surgeons doing liposuction can master. Dr. Su is the innovator of the Interactive Lipo Method and Celebrity Arms Sculpting. The Interactive Lipo Method is a culmination of techniques derived from Dr. Su's background as a figure artist and sculptor.Cardiovascular disease is one of the biggest public health crises of our time and remains a leading public health challenge in the US and globally.1 In fact, someone in the US has a heart attack approximately every 40 seconds. Having a high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol number – the “bad” cholesterol – can raise your risk of heart attack and stroke. Too much LDL cholesterol can lead to a buildup of fatty deposits, or plaques, inside your arteries. These plaques can narrow arteries and reduce blood flow. If a piece of the plaque breaks free, it might travel into the bloodstream and block a blood vessel to the heart or brain, causing a heart attack or stroke. For people who have had a heart attack or stroke, knowing the connection between high cholesterol and the risk of having another cardiovascular event is vital because taking steps to aim for and maintain a low LDL cholesterol level can reduce their risk of future events. Dr. Eduardo Sanchez serves as Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for Prevention for the American Heart Association. Lorraine Martin, President and CEO, National Safety Council joins Michelle to talk about what can be done to intervene in the workplace when there's been an overdose. Overdoses have emerged as the leading cause of unintentional death in the United States, with opioids involved in a staggering 77% of these incidents.

What are some of the reasons someone would choose to transfer OB/GYN providers later in a pregnancy?  Say, perhaps after 20 weeks of gestation?  There are several reasons why someone may choose to transfer to a different healthcare provider late in pregnancy. These reasons may include: Dissatisfaction with Current Provider: A person may become dissatisfied with their current healthcare provider due to issues such as poor communication, lack of trust, or a feeling that their concerns and preferences are not being adequately addressed. Changes in Insurance Coverage: Changes in insurance plans or coverage may necessitate a switch to a provider who is in-network or more affordable for the individual or their family. Relocation: Relocating to a different area or city during pregnancy may require finding a new healthcare provider closer to their new residence. High-Risk Pregnancy: If a pregnancy is deemed high-risk due to medical conditions or complications that arise late in pregnancy, a person may need to transfer to a specialist or a healthcare facility better equipped to handle their specific needs. Hospital Preference: Some individuals may have a strong preference for delivering at a particular hospital or birthing center and may need to switch providers to align with their chosen birthing location. Seeking a Second Opinion: In some cases, individuals may seek a second opinion from another healthcare provider if they have concerns or doubts about the recommended course of treatment or management of their pregnancy. Provider Availability: Provider availability, especially for obstetricians and midwives, can be limited, and some individuals may need to transfer care if their current provider is unavailable during their expected delivery timeframe. Personal Preferences: Changing providers may also be driven by personal preferences, such as desiring a different birthing experience, seeking out a specific type of care (e.g., home birth or water birth), or a desire for a different approach to prenatal care. It's essential for individuals to feel comfortable and confident in their healthcare provider during pregnancy, as this can greatly impact their overall experience. When considering a transfer late in pregnancy, it's advisable to communicate openly with both the current and potential new provider to ensure a smooth transition of care and the best possible outcome for both the expectant person and their baby.   Your feedback is essential to us!

Navigating an uncertain future involves cultivating adaptability and resilience, and recognizing that change will always be inevitable. It is helpful to embrace a mindset that focuses on what you can control, instead of what you can't.  By guiding our children in this way, they will know how to stay open to learning, they will be able to adjust expectations, and they will be able to maintain a sense of optimism, as they navigate the unknown with greater confidence and flexibility. Today, Dr. Stanton Hom is back for another solocast! He dives into pregnancy, birth, and how we can help our children thrive in a world filled with uncertainty. You won't want to miss this insightful episode of the Future Generations Podcast with your host, Dr. Stanton Hom!   Quotes: “It's time to recognize what's truly there. It's time to recognize what's truly still possible for humanity.” – Dr. Stanton Hom “We are affecting our children in a way that can, intellectually and physiologically, enslave them to the system for all foreseeable generations.” – Dr. Stanton Hom “I care about your children, and I care about your children's children, I care about how we populate the planet.” – Dr. Stanton Hom Key Takeaways: The call to recognize the present reality and acknowledge the boundless potential that still exists for humanity underscores a collective need for awareness and action. Embracing this moment allows us to envision and work towards a brighter, more promising future. Our actions today carry profound implications for the future. The impact on our children, both intellectually and physiologically, highlights the responsibility we have to consider the long-term consequences of our choices. The concern for future generations echoes a deep commitment to the well-being and prosperity of not only our children but also the legacy we leave for generations to come.   Highlights/Timeline: [00:01] – Optimizing health for future generations [05:12] – The importance of speaking the truth [09:59] – Healthy choices and their long-term effects [14:36] – Prenatal care and the importance of intuition in birthing [19:18] – Chiropractic care and its impact on baby development   Conclusion: The key to navigating uncertainty lies in adopting a mindset centered on what is within our control, and our ability to respond proactively to potential challenges.
