What if the nutrients a mother consumes during pregnancy could program her child's stress response, cognitive potential, and mental health resilience before that child is even born? That's not a hypothesis. It's the emerging science of epigenetics.

  • Great podcast!

    If you’re in the women’s or perinatal health space, this is one of those podcasts that actually teaches you something.

    It’s not surface-level, trendy wellness content. The episodes go deep, but in a way that still feels easy to follow and actually useful. You can tell it’s built for people who want real information, not fluff.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nutritional Foundations for Fertility, Egg Freezing, and IVF with Dr. Leah Gordon, ND
Q: What are some common myths about fertility nutrition that practitioners should address?
Myths include delaying prenatal vitamins until pregnancy, assuming weight loss alone will fix fertility, and that plant-based diets are inherently superior for fertility; the reality is that nourishment and a well-planned diet with adequate animal-based nutrients are important for both fertility and offspring health.
Nutritional Foundations for Fertility, Egg Freezing, and IVF with Dr. Leah Gordon, ND
Q: How should couples approach nutrition when considering ART like IVF or egg freezing?
Nutrition should support mitochondrial function and oocyte quality, with attention to nutrients such as CoQ10, omega-3s, vitamin D, folate, B vitamins, zinc, selenium, and a well-rounded antioxidant profile, while avoiding overly restrictive diets and ensuring adequate energy availability.
Nutritional Foundations for Fertility, Egg Freezing, and IVF with Dr. Leah Gordon, ND
Q: What does the standard workup look like for a couple seeking fertility support?
A typical workup includes comprehensive blood work for both partners, semen analysis for the male, imaging as needed, and awareness that clinics vary; the emphasis should be on a broad metabolic and hormonal panel to identify root causes and guide both medical and nutritional interventions.
Perinatal Mental Health and Nutritional Support with Dr. Melissa Drake, MD, FACOG
Q: What role does self-advocacy and self-screening play in perinatal mental health care?
Encourage patients to keep symptom journals and bring findings to their providers, fostering a collaborative care model where patients are informed and engaged in decisions about screening and treatment.
Perinatal Mental Health and Nutritional Support with Dr. Melissa Drake, MD, FACOG
Q: How do you approach the decision-making process around antidepressants during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
We use shared decision making, weighing risks and benefits within the individual context; milder symptoms may be first managed with therapy and nutrition, while more severe cases likely require medication alongside therapy, with careful consideration of both maternal and fetal/baby outcomes.
