  • Wisdom for the community that is lacking in modernity

    I am so grateful that I came across this podcast. Pregnant people are some of the most preyed upon in this capitalist world- everyone wants to sell you the method that worked for them, but NOT these two amazing women who want to demystify birthing/ postpartum and parenting and make it more accessible. They genuinely want to share their knowledge and experience to help pregnant people with the journey. Their passion and freely shared knowledge is a rare gem in these times.

  • Thank You!

    I truly appreciate your show and the well rounded view you give on topics! I have particularly found your potty training episode, your episode about choices you will make for baby in the hospital, and your episode on preeclampsia (which I have had twice) quite useful! I look forward to continuing to listen as a postpartum mama!

  • Impeccable!

    Truly a cut above the rest. I haven’t found anything else that compares. Thank you for the impeccably researched content and accessible approach! Agree the audio needs to be tinkered with.. i’ve got to crank this so high up to hear. But it’s my only complaint.

Q: What is your approach? Like how does one, how does a naturopathic doctor do healing, like gut healing, and can you kind of walk us through that?
Dr. Paria often starts with stool testing to identify microbiome patterns, gut lining health, and bacterial byproducts. She then tailors care using diet and lifestyle changes, probiotics, prebiotics, and other treatments based on the results.
Vasectomy & Vasectomy Reversal: Risks, Pain, Testosterone & Success Rates with Dr. Philip Werthman | #187
Q: And then what about any supplements to help or anything else that you would put a patient on if they're really, really wanting to have another baby and they're doing this process?
Werthman recommends sperm supplements, saying they may improve sperm quality, reduce DNA fragmentation, and support natural pregnancy and IVF success. He names Megaspermin, Proxseed, and Profertile.

How to Protect Your Kids From Predators & Grooming: A Survivor's Guide for Parents with Mandi Pagliarini | #185
Q: What are some of the best ways that parents can help mitigate these risks?
Parents should practice open, ongoing conversations, ensure kids are in public spaces or with another adult present, replace tell with share, use non-scary language, and provide clear boundaries and reassurance that they will be believed and kept safe. It's about risk mitigation first, and then equipping children with tools should something happen.
