Could One Page Change Your Child's School Year? A Free Tool to Help the Adults in Their World Truly Understand Them If you're the parent of an autistic or ADHD child, you know how exhausting it can be to explain your child to every new teacher, therapist, physician, coach, tutor, or camp counselor. You hope they'll understand your child's strengths, communication style, sensory needs, executive functioning challenges, and what helps them thrive—but those conversations don't always happen the way you'd hoped. In this episode of The Autism ADHD Podcast, I'm introducing a brand-new FREE resource designed to make those conversations easier. The Get to Know My Child Snapshot is a one-page, fillable tool that helps the adults in your child's world understand who they are before assumptions, misunderstandings, or unnecessary struggles begin. Whether your child is autistic, ADHD, or both, this practical resource can help create stronger relationships, reduce anxiety, and support better outcomes at school, in therapy, at medical appointments, during extracurricular activities, and beyond. As a psychologist who has spent nearly three decades supporting neurodivergent children, teens, and their families, I've seen firsthand how understanding changes everything. When adults understand why a child communicates differently, struggles with executive functioning, experiences sensory overload, or responds in unexpected ways, they're far more likely to respond with compassion, support, and effective accommodations instead of frustration or correction. In this episode, you'll learn: Why autistic and ADHD children often begin the school day already feeling anxious or overwhelmed. How misunderstandings can increase anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and school avoidance. Why communication differences are often mistaken for defiance, disrespect, or lack of motivation. How sensory differences and executive functioning challenges affect learning, participation, and emotional regulation. Why understanding a child's strengths is just as important as understanding their challenges. How therapists can use the Get to Know My Child Snapshot to support self-awareness, self-advocacy, and collaboration with families. How one simple tool can help teachers, therapists, physicians, coaches, tutors, camp counselors, and other caregivers better support autistic and ADHD children. What's Included in the FREE Get to Know My Child Snapshot? Your download includes: Three one-page fillable PDF formats. Completed examples to make completing the Snapshot simple. Sections for strengths and interests. Communication preferences. Executive functioning. Sensory needs. Emotional regulation. Social interaction. Helpful supports and accommodations. Behavior as communication. It takes about five minutes to complete and can be updated as your child grows and their needs change. This Episode Is Perfect For: Parents of autistic and ADHD children and teens. Mental health therapists, psychologists, counselors, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. Teachers, school counselors, and other educators. Pediatricians and medical professionals. Coaches, tutors, camp counselors, caregivers, and anyone who supports neurodivergent children.

Free Class: How to Avoid an Unnecessarean  HeHe is bringing back an updated version of her most-requested birth class with a fresh update of her best strategies for reducing your risk of an unnecessary C-section, plus how to confidently navigate interventions and decisions in the hospital. Join her live August 19 at 1:30 PM ET at thebirthlounge.com/freecall. In this solo episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe breaks down one of the most frustrating labels you can hear in labor: “failure to progress.” Because taking longer than expected does NOT automatically mean your labor is failing. HeHe walks through what ACOG actually considers an active-phase arrest, including the 6 cm threshold, ruptured membranes, and how much time without cervical change is actually needed before calling labor stalled. She also breaks down why the clock can become your biggest enemy in the hospital and how slow labor progress can sometimes turn into an unnecessary C-section simply because everyone gets impatient. You'll learn practical ways to support your body and your baby's positioning, from staying upright and changing positions to resting, eating, drinking, and laboring at home longer when it's safe to do so. HeHe also talks about amniotomy, why breaking your water isn't always the harmless "next step," and why feeling safe and supported can make a HUGE difference in how your labor unfolds. Most importantly, this episode is about knowing when you actually need intervention and when you simply need more time. HeHe shares how to look at your provider's and hospital's C-section rates, ask better questions, and choose a care team that understands that every labor is different. 01:23 Welcome & Free Class Announcement 04:26 What Is Failure to Progress? 07:39 Understanding ACOG Guidelines 09:27 Physical Tips to Avoid Failure to Progress 17:53 Rest & Nourishment During Labor 20:04 The Risks of Amniotomy 26:26 Feeling Safe in Your Birth Environment 28:23 Finding the Right Provider & C-Section Rates 34:46 Final Thoughts & Outro SOCIAL MEDIA: Connect with HeHe on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tranquilitybyhehe/    BIRTH EDUCATION: Learn how to stay in control of your birth and reduce the risk of unnecessary interventions in our Avoid a C-Section Webinar.

Written by a registered architect and professional librarian, this is a guidebook for librarians embarking on a library building project. It includes a brief history of library facilities, placing them in the context of public buildings. An introduction to library planning principles and a discussion of library design concepts and trends are presented, including the impact of the 2020 pandemic on library design. Sections on working with architects, building design/construction terminology and the basics of reading architectural drawings provide insight into unfamiliar jargon and visual communication. Extensive illustrations and photographs show examples of library layouts and furniture and equipment, and the final chapter addresses the challenges inherent in a major building project. As library services change, buildings must adapt to accommodate and provide these new innovations. Buildings are living things, and this book will offer guidance to those embarking on a project of any scale or size. Guest: Lauren Stara is a registered architect and a librarian, specializing in library building design. Her past library experience includes everything from front desk clerk to director. As a Library Building Specialist for the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, Lauren administers grant funds and provides technical assistance and advice from initial planning through construction of public library projects.

Bill and Scott discuss the Trump administration's proposed new tariffs on Canada under Section 338, the implementation of Section 301 tariffs on more than 80 countries, and the implications of the tariff provisions contained in the Russia Sanctions Bill currently making its way through Congress.

A year of making international trade make sense—one Taylor Swift song at a time. Host: Cindy Allen Published: July 31, 2026 Length: ~16:19 Presented by: Global Training Center Summary One year ago, Cindy's Version debuted with a simple mission: make international trade news easier to understand—one Taylor Swift song at a time. In this anniversary episode, Cindy celebrates the milestone while tackling another week packed with major developments impacting importers, customs brokers, and global supply chains. Using Taylor Swift's "...Ready For It?" as the theme, Cindy explores the latest discussions surrounding de minimis changes, duty enforcement, USMCA negotiations, new pharmaceutical Section 232 tariffs, and CBP's continued focus on trade enforcement. More importantly, she explains why companies should stop reacting to trade actions and instead prepare for them through proactive planning. The episode's biggest takeaway isn't tied to any single tariff announcement. It's about building an organizational playbook that brings together compliance, finance, legal, procurement, sales, and executive leadership before the next trade action arrives. With regulatory changes becoming more frequent and enforcement continuing to increase, preparation has become one of the most valuable competitive advantages a company can have. Whether you're an importer, customs broker, compliance professional, or executive responsible for global supply chains, this anniversary episode offers practical guidance for staying ready in today's constantly evolving trade environment. This Week in Trade • CBP receives extensive feedback on proposed de minimis changes and postal parity concerns. • CBP announces more than $1 billion recovered through Enforce and Protect Act (EAPA) duty evasion investigations. • USMCA negotiations continue amid reported disagreements surrounding Sections 232 and 301 tariffs. • New Section 232 requirements for patented pharmaceuticals introduce additional reporting responsibilities for importers and customs brokers. Main Topic / Discussion International trade has entered an era where regulatory changes occur regularly rather than occasionally. Cindy explains why companies should move beyond reacting to each announcement and instead establish a repeatable response process. Rather than focusing solely on individual tariff actions, organizations should develop a cross-functional trade playbook that identifies affected products, evaluates financial exposure, assesses contractual obligations, communicates with suppliers and customers, and enables leadership to make informed decisions quickly. Preparation—not prediction—is becoming the defining characteristic of successful trade compliance programs. Key Takeaways • Trade enforcement continues to accelerate, making strong compliance programs more valuable than ever. • High-quality supply chain data is essential for responding quickly to new trade actions. • Cross-functional planning involving finance, legal, procurement, sales, and compliance should be documented before regulatory changes occur. • Companies that develop repeatable trade response playbooks will be better positioned to navigate future tariffs and enforcement actions.

Cyclospora: it's a microscopic organism found in water, but can spread to food-- especially produce. Found most commonly in wet and warm climates, it can travel into your grocery store through things like imported lettuce, raspberries, carrots, or more. And once you catch it, it causes some 'explosive' problems. Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with Keith Warriner, a professor of food microbiology in the department of food science at the University of Guelph to find out what Cyclospora is, what it does to the human body, and what the risk of it coming to Canada really is.

Doula support for a c-section is one of the most misunderstood parts of what we do, and this episode is here to change that.In this episode, we're talking about what belly birth support actually looks like from the inside. Stephanie sits down with How2Mom client Lynley to walk through Betty's birth story, from induction leading to c-section, to the OR, to that first skin-to-skin moment. It's honest, it's warm, and it's a really good reminder that every birth deserves support, no matter how it unfolds.What you'll hear:Why having a doula in the OR meant Lynley's husband could be fully present instead of trying to play every role at onceWhat a family centered c-section actually looks like, including options most parents don't know to ask forHow a doula supports the nervous system during surgery, from explaining the tugging sensations to massage during the shakesWhat it felt like to go from induction to c-section, and why having a familiar face made all the difference when things moved fastWhy a belly birth doesn't have to mean trauma, and what it looks like when it feels empowering insteadLynley is a recipe developer and content creator at Fit Foodie Finds (fitfoodiefinds.com). Links for this episode:Birth doula services: https://www.how2mom.com/birth-doulaDigital Birth Affirmation Cards: https://www.how2mom.com/product/digital-birth-affirmation-cards/Fit Foodie Finds: https://fitfoodiefinds.comThank you so much for listening to the Mom2Mom Podcast!

On today's show,  we hear that Arkansas has one of the nation's highest rates of c-section births for low-risk pregnancies. Healthcare professionals are looking to lower that number. We also get a new way to experience Keith Haring, the artist and the person, at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Plus, we learn more about the Salvation Army's summer return of its red kettles.

For years on True Birth and in their OB/GYN practice, Dr. Abdelhak & Kristin Mallon have made an unpopular argument: when a baby is measuring big, the safest move is usually to induce, not to wait. The conventional literature did not back them up, and plenty of academics pushed back with the same line every time, that induction does not lower the risk of a cesarean or a shoulder dystocia. In this episode they walk through two pieces of high level evidence that land squarely on their side, and they explain why this was common sense all along. They start with the bigger cultural point. We do not have natural pregnancies anymore, so it is unrealistic to expect a uniformly natural birth. Electricity, processed food, far fewer daily steps, and later maternal age all push birth weights up, which means more babies are simply too big to deliver without help. Kristin brings the midwife lens to this, including a frank look at the Ina May Gaskin farm numbers and what they actually showed. From there they get into the data, share a real shoulder dystocia save from the floor, and detour into the things that genuinely scare them in delivery, like postpartum hemorrhage, plus Dr. Abdelic's running theory that growth problems are usually about the cord, not the placenta. The take home is blunt. If your provider tells you the baby is measuring large, the right question is not whether to induce. It is when. What we cover Why "natural birth" is a moving target in a non natural world The Ina May Gaskin farm numbers and what they really tell us The landmark randomized trial on inducing large for date babies The brand new 2026 meta analysis on induction at 38 weeks How estimated fetal weight, the 90th and 95th percentiles, and hospital induction rules actually play out in practice A real time shoulder dystocia at the bedside, handled without the fanfare Why hemorrhage, not shoulder dystocia, is the emergency that worries them most "It is all about the cord," and why placental insufficiency is the wrong framing The difference between cervical insufficiency and true preterm labor How to filter real clinical advice from social media noise The research referenced The randomized controlled trial (the Lancet study): Boulvain M, Senat MV, Perrotin F, et al. Induction of labour versus expectant management for large for date fetuses: a randomised controlled trial. Lancet. 2015;385(9987):2600 to 2605. A pragmatic trial across 19 centers in France, Switzerland, and Belgium. Women with singleton fetuses above the 95th percentile were randomized to induction between 37 0/7 and 38 6/7 weeks or to expectant management. Induction significantly reduced the composite of shoulder dystocia and associated morbidity, relative risk 0.32, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.71, p equals 0.004, without raising the cesarean rate and with more spontaneous vaginal deliveries. The 2026 meta analysis (the AJOG MFM study): Paladino, et al. Induction at 38 weeks for large for gestational age or macrosomic fetuses decreases the incidence of cesarean delivery: meta analysis of randomized controlled trials. Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM. 2026. Five randomized trials, 4,083 pregnant individuals, most induced at 38 0/7 to 38 4/7 weeks for an estimated weight above the 90th percentile. Induction lowered the cesarean rate and cut macrosomia (relative risk 0.53 for 4,000 grams or more, and 0.22 for 4,500 grams or more). Shoulder dystocia and fetal fracture both trended down but did not reach significance, which is expected for outcomes this rare. Roughly 25 inductions in this window prevent one cesarean. Key takeaways A big baby is the single biggest risk factor for shoulder dystocia, and a baby does not get smaller between 38 and 40 weeks. The evidence now shows that inducing for a large for date baby reduces shoulder dystocia and cesarean delivery and increases the odds of a vaginal birth. If you are told your baby is measuring large, come prepared to ask for induction rather than waiting to be offered it.

During childbirth, many things can evolve in different ways depending on many factors, including how the labor progresses, how the baby is doing, and how the mother's body responds throughout the process of delivery. In this episode we talk about what is happening during a vaginal delivery, if and when to consider having a C-section, when to use various approaches for assisted deliveries, why one way of giving birth versus another occurs, and so much more. I also talk about why, as an ObGyn, my preferred way of delivering babies is vaginally, when it is the safest option for both mother and baby. I am joined with my co-host and good friend, Touseef Mirza.

In the June episode of the President's Spotlight, Dr. Jason Crowell and Dr. Natalia Rost discuss the sense of community present within the AAN.  Stay informed by watching the President's Spotlight video.   Show transcript:  Dr. Jason Crowell: This is Jason Crowell with today's Neurology Minute. Once again, this month for our presidential spotlight, we have Natalia Rost joining us. Natalia, thanks so much for your time today. Dr. Natalia Rost: Hi, Jason. Dr. Jason Crowell: So what is on your mind this month, Natalia? Dr. Natalia Rost: Well, if you remember, last month we talked about our annual meeting, and since I've been thinking about AAN's value of community. Community is top of mind because staying connected, of course, sharing questions, experience, and ideas is how we keep improving care and advancing the field, but also how we elevate wellness for all of us. Dr. Jason Crowell: I'm sure there are many different ways we could talk about this sense of community showing up within the AAN, but what are you thinking of specifically? Dr. Natalia Rost: Well, of course, we love our annual meeting reunions, but one way we thrive as a community all year long is online through our AAN member sections. As you know, sections are our AAN vibrant member-led groups and each has a dedicated community on Synapse, our online community platform and mobile app. What you'll find there is discussions, resources, announcements, events, and peer Q&A. Dr. Jason Crowell: So can you give us some examples of how these sections work and how people participate? Dr. Natalia Rost: Yeah. Sections is our online community and our response onto how our field moves fast and sections are where you can stay connected and share knowledge. Every section is dedicated to a different subspecialty or interest. No matter where your focus is, there's probably an AAN online community. For instance, with my specialty in vascular neurology, I can connect with other members in the stroke and vascular neurology section. The topics can range from a tricky case question sharing a protocol or a career advice thread and we've done that for years now. But I'm also passionate about humanities and art, and so I can also explore the interface between neurology and the arts in my neuro-humanities synapse community. I highly recommend it.  Dr. Jason Crowell: Are there any practical real-life benefits that members talk about when they're discussing these sections, and who all is behind the scenes making this work happen? Dr. Natalia Rost: Yeah. In addition to staying in touch all year long, many of our sections also host collaborative sessions during the annual meeting through section showcases. These are discussion-based sessions where sections present untimely topics. And if you're interested, I recommend joining a section now so you can stay on top of the advances for 2027. And for additional context, we also have 80-plus section leaders. These members offer their time and expertise to help their communities thrive, and so we're extremely grateful to them for their leadership. Dr. Jason Crowell: So if we have listeners today who are members of the AAN, but they've never gotten involved in these sections, where would you direct them? I imagine they can find information on the AAN website. Dr. Natalia Rost: Yes. So very simple. Any AAN member can join sections and access their communities on Synapse. Go to aan.com/sections and access them anywhere by downloading our Synapse mobile app. And my advice is very simple. Find your people, stay current, and bring your questions. Your section community is there year-round. Dr. Jason Crowell: Terrific. Natalia, thanks so much for sharing this with us. Dr. Natalia Rost: Thanks for having me.

The way women give birth is changing, according to BBC analysis, which has discovered that one in four births in England are now emergency caesareans. The current figure is 26% - an increase of 8% in the past five years - and the rate of elective caesareans has also gone up. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists say the system is struggling to cope with this increased level of unplanned surgeries. To discuss what's behind the rise and the potential impact on women, presenter Kylie Pentelow is joined by BBC Health Correspondent Catherine Burns, President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Dr Alison Wright, and Helen Cheyne who's a Professor of Maternal and Infant Health Research at the University of Stirling. Hannah Murray was at the height of her fame as an actor in 2016, having found fame as the much-loved Cassie in E4's teen drama Skins, she was now a regular in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones as Gilly. But behind the scenes Hannah was struggling with her mental health, and she found herself involved in an organisation which offered courses in magical healing. The following year, Hannah was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She's since retired from acting and written a memoir about those turbulent times, called The Make-Believe – A Memoir of Magic and Madness. Women's rights charity FiLiA has launched a new national campaign to get Sexual Entertainment Venues, commonly referred to as strip clubs, off the streets. This is informed by new research examining how the venues are viewed and experienced by women living, working and moving nearby. They spoke to more than 700 women across Cardiff, Edinburgh and Manchester, with 55% of women opposed to the venues, and 8% expressing supportive views. Dr Laura Favaro, Director of Research at FiLiA, joins Kylie to discuss their report. The female CEO of dating app Hinge has said that Gen Z "need AI to start conversations on dating apps because they lack the confidence of older generations". Jackie Jantos told the BBC that daters in their 20s are spending less time with other people, compared to two decades ago, has affected their ability to meet and chat in person. To discuss whether AI could help or hinder dating, and the challenges of meeting people IRL, Kylie is joined by author and journalist Olivia Petter and Jessica Evans, founder of events company BODA, which stands for Bored of Dating Apps.And BBC Music correspondent Mark Savage joins us to discuss the breaking news that Kayna King, the entrepreneur and founder of the Mobo awards, has died aged 57 from colon cancer. The Mobo Organisation called her one of the UK music industry's "most fearless champions". Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Sarah Jane Griffiths

In this MamasteFit Podcast: Birth Story, Hanna shares her home VBAC story after two C-sections, delivering a 9 lb 11 oz baby despite being told her pelvis was “too small” in previous births. She recounts a first pregnancy shaped by COVID stress, a long induction ending in C-section, and a discouraging postpartum comment about never birthing vaginally. Her second pregnancy included deep VBAC research, doula support, a 42-week induction attempt, painful positioning, a partial epidural, a repeat C-section, and alarming (later contradicted) claims of uterine rupture. After reviewing her op report with her provider, Hanna pursued a third pregnancy with improved nutrition, fitness using Training for Two, and spontaneous labor at 42 weeks; after 2.5 hours of pushing, an OB and midwife resolved a shoulder dystocia, and postpartum was physically tough but emotionally healing with smooth breastfeeding.Find Hanna here!: @hanna_elisabeth_turner  on Instagram@joysofbirth doula page on Instagram00:00 Welcome and Episode Preview00:48 Meet the Hosts and Mission01:35 Introducing Hanna's HBAC Story02:08 First Pregnancy During COVID03:54 Induction to First C-Section05:36 Pelvis Comment and Postpartum07:16 Second Pregnancy and TOLAC Plan10:12 Labor Struggles and Walchers13:07 Repeat C-Section Trauma16:03 Uterus Scare and Grief17:57 Second Opinion Changes Everything25:02 Choosing Home Birth Support27:20 Training for Two and Pain-Free Pregnancy32:41 Choosing Gentle Induction34:07 Pelvic Mobility Theory35:45 Membrane Sweep Plan38:17 Active Day Sparks Labor41:31 Early Labor and Support46:12 Water Breaks Intensity Hits48:20 Two Hour Push Marathon52:35 Shoulder Dystocia Emergency58:09 Big Baby Aftermath01:00:01 Postpartum Recovery Reality01:05:09 Advice After Two C Sections01:07:23 Final Thanks and Resources————

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. We cover lots of topics, delving into stealth and AI systems, objectives and their communication, and other thoughts. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Another mission Issues covered: whether it was designed for a controller, graphic fidelity holding up, the fixed function shading pipeline, the crossover between audio and visual meters, what's going on with the light meter, ambient noise affecting how quickly you can move, adjusting eyesight, layering mechanics into a mini-game, sprinklers everywhere, hose extraction, trip lasers, using a body as a laser avoider, a key that isn't a key, interrogation mechanics, consequences for not interrogating, multiple paths to information, forgetting the vision modes, the marketing targets for particular consoles, dynamic mission objectives, motivating spaces through pattern language, having to mark up the world to tell you what's important, a digression into climbing anywhere, "what map?," not wasting space, clockwork levels, a globetrotting set of ops vs single-location games, Brett has a good point, contrasting flavors, just jumping in and having the briefings paper over travel, the attract mode, benefitting pacing. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: XBOX, Pulp Fiction (obliquely), PlayStation 3, Clint Hocking, NOLF 2, Max Payne, Metal Gear (series), Three Men and a Baby, Poltergeist, Eternal Darkness, Mission: Impossible (series), Entrapment, Sean Connery, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dishonored, Prey, Hitman, Die Hard, Assassin's Creed, Crazy Climber, Cairn, Jusant, Hideo Kojima, Reacher (series), The Gray Man (series), The Hunt for Red October, Quiller (series), Shadowlord-72, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia. Next time: More TCSCCT! Errata: Apparently there were in fact multiple shader units on the original Xbox, and supported Pixel/Vertex 1.1 shaders. We regret the error. (Fixed function was still a thing, though, I'm just not remembering the details correctly.) Twitch: timlongojr and twinsunscorp YouTube Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com 

You're stretching wrong, and I didn't believe it either until Garry Lineham put his hands on me and corrected a decades-old flat arch, a torn bicep tendon limitation, and my hip rotation in 5 minutes! In this episode, the founder of Human Garage walks me through why every time you stretch a muscle your nervous system dumps adrenaline for four hours, how he reverse-engineered the answer in 17 months of solitary confinement after $2.5 million and 300 practitioners couldn't fix him, and why fascia, not your brain, is where your body actually stores trauma.

In this episode of Church History Matters, hosts Scott Woodward and Casey Griffiths explore the Latter-day Saint perspective on the divinely inspired nature of the United States Constitution as taught in the Doctrine and Covenants. What did Joseph Smith and early Church leaders think about the Constitution? What does it mean that God “established” the Constitution? Why is it applicable to all nations? And how should modern disciples understand these revelations today? Together, Scott and Casey dive into key passages from the Doctrine and Covenants, including Sections 98 and 101, while unpacking the historical context surrounding religious liberty, agency, and the role of constitutional government in God's plan. They also address common misunderstandings, modern political assumptions, and how faithful Saints can approach these teachings with both conviction and nuance. Whether you're interested in Church history, constitutional principles, or restored doctrine, this episode offers thoughtful insights into one of the most discussed themes in Latter-day Saint scripture.

The concluding sections of AI Valley analyze the shift toward an "accelerationist" political landscape. While the Bidenadministration proposed testing rules for safety, the Trump administration favors rapid development to maintain a competitive edge over China. This environment has led Sam Altman to retract his earlier calls for regulation. Instead, tech companies now advocate for "fair use" policies to train models on copyrighted works without compensating authors. Mark Zuckerberg's Meta has also pivoted to "open source" AI to challenge the gatekeeping of Apple and Google. Currently, accelerationists hold the advantage, viewing the trillion-dollar race for AI supremacy as a vital national priority. (8/8)1906 STANFORD

299: I'm joined by Dr. Stuart Fischbein to have an honest conversation about modern pregnancy, birth culture, and why so many women feel fearful going into labor. We talk about the rise in C-sections, inductions, epidurals, and the cascade of interventions that can happen in hospital births. Dr. Stu also explains the history behind “geriatric pregnancy,” the differences between midwifery and the medical model, and why informed consent and individualized care matter so much for mothers and babies. Whether you're currently pregnant, planning to have children someday, or simply curious about how birth has changed over time, this episode offers a deeper look at the modern birth system and the importance of trusting women's bodies.Topics Discussed: → Pregnancy After 35 & “Geriatric Pregnancy” → Home Birth vs Hospital Birth → Fear-Based Birth Culture → C-Sections, Inductions & Medical Interventions → Midwifery Model of Care → Epidurals, Pitocin & Birth Outcomes → Informed Consent & Choosing the Right Birth Provider → Trusting Nature's Design During Birth Sponsored By: → Function | Check your health the way I do — 160+ lab tests a year for $365, plus the ability to dive deeper into your results with Function's trusted connections to platforms like ChatGPT and Claude.

It's a wrap up for the final week of the MS turkey season. It's tales of giant snakes and hoards of crawfish swimming upstream like salmon. It's a brand new segment of people arguing on the internet about wildlife conservation. It's a little bit of everything. Check it out!
