  • Not much substance

    Listened to sleep episode and it was not helpful at all. Lacking substance just a bunch of platitudes like “don’t compare yourself” and “all kids are different”

  • BEST podcast for expecting mamas!

    I discovered Trish’s podcast early on in my pregnancy and started BINGEING every episode. I wanted to learn as much as I could as a first time mom and boy, I did just that! Because of how amazing this podcast is, I also decided to join the birth course, which provided me with even more knowledge to prepare me for my birth. I’ve never felt more calm and prepared as a first time mom! Definitely give this podcast a listen!! You won’t regret it!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Low Iron in Pregnancy: Why ‘Normal’ Labs Could Still be Wrong | 274
Q: What practical steps can listeners take to support mineral balance during pregnancy?
Move toward whole-food mineral sources, consider comprehensive testing beyond standard panels (including HTMA), address copper and magnesium balance, and work with a practitioner to tailor a plan rather than relying solely on traditional prenatal vitamins.
Low Iron in Pregnancy: Why ‘Normal’ Labs Could Still be Wrong | 274
Q: What is iron dysregulation, and how is it different from being simply labeled as anemic?
Iron dysregulation refers to how iron is moved and utilized in the body, which depends on other minerals (like copper) and factors beyond just blood iron levels; it can cause symptoms even when standard iron tests look only at hemoglobin or ferritin.
Let's Talk Pelvic Health: Common, But Not Normal with Dr. Brooke Kalisiak | 268
Q: How can breathing techniques help during labor?
Breathing techniques coordinate the diaphragm, belly, and pelvic floor to regulate abdominal pressure and help manage fear and anxiety, offering a simple, effective mindset tool that many patients underestimate but find powerful when practiced regularly.
Let's Talk Pelvic Health: Common, But Not Normal with Dr. Brooke Kalisiak | 268
Q: What does a postpartum visit typically involve?
A postpartum visit is a one-on-one assessment with a pelvic physical therapist, starting with a conversation about symptoms and goals, followed by a postural and breathing evaluation, diastasis check, scar mobility, strength tests, and a hands-on examination of the pelvic floor with consent and privacy, often including home-care instructions.
Let's Talk Pelvic Health: Common, But Not Normal with Dr. Brooke Kalisiak | 268
Q: What is a common misconception about pushing during labor?
Many people think you should tense the pelvic floor or push as if you're squeezing tight; in reality, the pelvic floor should relax and elongate while the uterus does the pushing work, and finding the right pushing position through practice with a therapist makes pushing more effective.
