Ashley was such an awesome guest that she's the first to appear on the Toxin Free Mom To Be podcast for a second time! Last week, Ashley taught us all about how to introduce first foods. But, since she also has additional training in pediatric feeding and picky eating, she was also the perfect gal to tell us which foods are good to start feeding with. The Importance of Iron One fact brought up by Ashley that really stuck out to me, was the importance of iron - especially during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and childhood. In fact, iron is one of the top nutrient deficiencies in children (source). She also pointed out how one role of iron is to aid in absorbing nutrients. So you could theoretically be consuming enough nutrients  but not actually absorbing them if you don't have enough iron. And since children go through so much growth, they are especially vulnerable to negative effects of not having enough micronutrients. Interestingly, liver (yes, like the actual organ from a cow or chicken!) is not only a potent source of bio-available vitamin A, but also heme-iron.  If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and the idea of eating organs isn't the most appealing (trust me, I get it!) I have linked my favorite freeze-dried and encapsulated liver supplement below in the 'Resource' section.  Other topics discussed during this episode: Top nutrient dense first foods recommended by a pediatric feeding specialist Why it is especially important for children of this age to eat calorically dense foods (especially ones high in fat). Foods to stay away from as first foods or how to serve them so they do not pose a choking hazard Why it may actually be better to serve first foods as stick shapes vs. cubes or purees Reasons to ditch the rice cereal How to approach picky eating and to realize it is a normal phase children go through Top tips from a feeding specialist on how to create positive food experiences for little ones What a "no thank bowl" is and why it can be so helpful Resources: Ashley's website: helpinghandsOT.com Book for extreme picky eaters: Just Take a Bite Instagram: @helpinghandsOT ; @chemistkarma (host) Ancestral Supplements - Also supported by the Weston A Price foundation, this is my favorite high quality beef liver. The product is freeze dried and encapsulated (so you get all the benefits, without having to actually eat it!) This company even gets 3rd party testing done to ensure it is pesticide free and they never add fillers of any sort. Treat Yourself Inc. - My favorite non-toxic toothpaste and deodorant.

Ashley, a pediatric OT known as @helpinghandsOT on Instagram (*hint - you should totes follow her there) spoke with me this week about all things first foods related.  Ashley was the perfect person to educate us on this as not only has she been a practicing pediatric occupational therapist for over a decade, but she's holistically minded and also has additional specialities in pediatric feeding and picky eating. Needless to say, I learned a whole bunch during our convo! During the interview we discussed: Signs + cues to look for that your baby is ready to try out some foods The age range that typically happens at Downsides to feeding too early How the mouthing of items is an actual developmental stage for babies + parents should not be overly protective during this time (obviously not saying to be neglectful either!) Tips for when first introducing the solids Why it's important for the infant to join the family during meal time Why purees may not actually be the best food for babies Resources: Highly recommend reading this blog post by Ashley about the Top 10 first foods  You can find her website as a whole here: https://helpinghandsot.com/ I had a past podcast episode (Ep. #7) with speech language pathologist, Shandy titled How to De-escalate Mealtime & Get Your Child to Try New Foods that I think you'll enjoy if you found this one relevant.

My goal with this episode was not only to highlight some dangers associated with ultrasounds, but I also aimed to teach how to read a study. Throughout this episode, I will be reading through a study titled: "Effect of transvaginal ultrasound on human chorionic villus cell apoptosis during pregnancy" . I highly recommend having it pulled up as I read along. About the Study One of the most telling parts of the study was that they found a programmed cell death rate of 76.89% in the placenta after being exposed to a 30 minute ultrasound. On the other hand, the control group (no ultrasound) had a placental cell death rate of 16.79%. This particular study only included 60 women, so it doesn't definitely prove anything. However, more and more science is starting to point toward the fact that these routine procedures may not be as safe as they are portrayed. While I'm not saying women should have zero ultrasounds during a pregnancy, after reading this study, I don't think they should be done willy nilly every month just to see a picture of the baby. In any case, this is a decision I believe every women is capable of making herself. This is why I also aimed to teach how to read scientific studies in general so each mother can come to her own informed decision.

This week I chatted with Mark Ritz about shopping beneath the label. Mark is the founder of Ritzfit, an online platform that aims to connect concerned consumers to brands sourcing and processing their products with integrity. Every brand that is Ritzfit approved, goes above and beyond on every detail of it's sourcing and processing. For example, a nut butter that is featured is made with wild, organic pecans that are sprouted to remove phytates and then stone ground for 48 hours to produce an end result customers refer to as "liquid gold". To top it off, every Ritzfit approved product is vetted by a team of sourcing and ingredient experts and the company must also show heavy metal reports with certificate of analysis. As you can see, each product they feature is top of the line in terms of purity and nutrient density. I am so grateful that Mark has created a platform like this since there are so many deceptive marketing practices out there making it tough for even the most discerning of consumers. TOPICS DISCUSSED DURING THE EPISODE: Why and how to shop beneath the label Problems with buyers completely letting their guards down in stores like Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Thrive Market, ect. and thinking EVERYTHING in there is inherently healthy The rigorous process each product goes through to get Ritzfit approved Why sourcing is so important Dirty secrets the natural food industry doesn't want you to know Could vegetable oils actually be the main driver of obesity and chronic illness?! (yes, more so than sugar!) I learned so much during the conversation! At one point, my jaw was basically on the floor and I was left speechless when Mark shared some of the practices that many brands participate in to keep costs low. This is definitely an episode you won't wanna miss!

Post Partum and Why it Matters This week's conversation centered all around the postpartum phase and why it is so important. To learn all about this topic, we were lucky enough to be joined by Kayla Levine, a postpartum expert and doula. Her offerings to the world include: Postpartum Doula Care  Placenta Medicine Making  Vaginal Steaming for Womb Health  Postpartum Education & Planning  Birth Worker Support Groups All of her offerings are holistic in nature. She looks at the whole body, mind, and spirit in her approach to helping you remember your body’s innate healing abilities. Also be sure to head over to tucsonplacentaencapsulation.com to download a FREE 10 page ebook Kayla has created for us all about 4th trimester planning for the modern mama. OUR CONVERSATION To me, I was most surprised to learn that the postpartum phase could actually bring about radical healing if just a couple of important factors were focused on. Many women also experience the onset of autoimmune conditions and other chronic illness after birth - basically the opposite of radical healing. However, Kayla says two key factors contribute to which side of the story you are on: 1.) nutrition and 2.) community support She also said that she believes postpartum depression should really be called postpartum DEPLETION. As the root of what is wrong is micronutrient deficiencies and lack of support. Pregnancy can be quite taxing on the body and much higher quantities of nutrients are needed during that time. If those needs are not met, the body pulls from stores that it has saved up. This is why after pregnancy many women are extremely depleted of certain nutrients that are not common in a standard American diet. OTHER TOPICS WE DISCUSSED INCLUDE: The difference between a midwife and doula How the postpartum phase should really be seen as the fourth trimester and what is meant by that Importance of mom and baby being together during the first three months Specific things we can do to support other women who are in the postpartum phase Why cold things must be avoided (both literally and energetically) Post natal depletion: what it is and how to avoid it Possible benefits of eating the placenta (don't worry - placenta encapsulation is a thing so you don't have to literally eat it with a fork and knife!)

This week's episode is so special to me because I know how profound of an impact switching to natural products can make both in overall health and fertility. To really bring this convo to light I had Ariel Welch, a natural ingredient expert and co-owner of Treat Yourself Inc., come on to tell us the top 5 ingredients to avoid in products like deodorant and toothpaste.  But don't worry, we didn't leave you high and dry without alternatives! Ariel told us some of the best ingredients to look for instead. *spoiler alert* her products contain all of them (without the hormone disrupting additives) and she was kind enough to give the listeners of this podcast a 20% discount with code: toxinfree The science has shown us again and again that the ingredients found in conventional products can lead to epigenetic changes in at least two generations down the line so this is definitely not something to take lightly! Luckily, all it takes is knowledge of what to avoid and a simple switch in products. By the end of this episode you'll know how to do just that.
