  • Literally THE BEST Resource

    I’m 26 and not pregnant yet, but my husband and I are starting to prepare because we hope to begin growing our family soon. For years, I’ve been terrified of pregnancy and birth because of all the horror stories I’d heard, along with my own experiences in the medical field where it often felt like providers didn’t truly listen, educate, or care about what patients were going through.

    In 2023, one of my friends gave birth with a midwife at a birthing center and absolutely raved about her experie... more

  • Great Resource!

    I started listening after the birth of my first baby (I wish I had found it before I got pregnant the first time) and now that I am pregnant with my second, I am still finding so much value in the information presented. Highly recommend!

  • If You Want to Be Prepared - LISTEN

    I was searching for any and all information related to pregnancy, birth, postpartum, motherhood, breastfeeding ALL things mom and baby. I had multiple books and other resources I was trying to cram when I found out I was pregnant in July 2025.

    As a FTM (very type A) I was met with horror stories and push back when asking for advice or guidance from those around me. THIS PODCAST became my steady encouragement that allowed me to be prepared for just about any topic pertaining to what I was exper... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Eating for Your Cycle, Gut Health & Fertility with Nora DeBora
Q: What practical steps can someone take now if they are trying to conceive?
Stabilize blood sugar with a robust breakfast, start seed cycling, begin a high-quality prenatal with an antioxidant, and run baseline blood work to assess vitamin D, B12, lipids, and cycle-day hormones; involve partner testing for sperm as part of the planning.
Eating for Your Cycle, Gut Health & Fertility with Nora DeBora
Q: Why are gut health and the microbiome important for fertility?
Gut health affects nutrient absorption, estrogen metabolism, and systemic inflammation; a healthy microbiome supports hormone balance and can influence egg quality and implantation, making stool tests and microbiome analyses valuable in fertility work.
Eating for Your Cycle, Gut Health & Fertility with Nora DeBora
Q: What are the main phases of the menstrual cycle and what should women expect in each?
The follicular phase involves the period and the buildup of the uterine lining with rising estrogen, followed by ovulation, after which the luteal phase with rising progesterone occurs; each phase has different energy, cravings, and hormonal targets, and both phases require balanced blood sugar and targeted nutrition.
Placenta Encapsulation: Should You Eat Your Placenta? Benefits, Risks & Postpartum Recovery w/Dr. Sophia Johnson
Q: What are the practical options for moms who are considering placentophagy?
Options include consuming raw placental tissue, dehydrated or steamed dehydrated capsules (TCM-style), or choosing not to consume but considering ritual aspects like burial; mothers can decide based on safety, personal beliefs, and observed effects, with guidance to minimize infection risk via proper processing.
Placenta Encapsulation: Should You Eat Your Placenta? Benefits, Risks & Postpartum Recovery w/Dr. Sophia Johnson
Q: What did your lab study show about how different placenta preparations affect hormone content?
We found that hormones are highly sensitive to heat; raw tissue contains the highest concentrations, while dehydration and especially steaming reduce hormone levels, particularly estrogens; progesterone is somewhat more heat-stable, and different preparation methods yield different hormone profiles.
