| Morning Sickness: Root Causes + Treatment | #127 | 27 Aug 2025 | 01:12:24 | |
Nausea in pregnancy, or "morning sickness," is a multifactorial issue that we CAN usually affect in a positive way - and today we outline the top contributing factors to what is unlovingly known as "morning sickness." We discuss how, for most women, there is not one single reason that they feel nauseous during their pregnancy - and usually there are multiple pieces that all contribute a different amount to the overall experience - and what's tough is that for each person, this will be individual. The best approach then, is to ensure that all of the factors to talk about today - blood sugar, hydration, histamine, sleep, and more - are in your awareness so you can work on them the best you can. Big hugs if you're in the weeds with this, we really feel you.

| All About Preeclampsia, with Tiffany from Beautiful One Midwifery | #118 | 25 Jun 2025 | 01:16:30 | |
Have you ever wondered how preeclampsia is handled by midwives? Or how you can prevent it from occurring in the first place? Today on the podcast, Dr. Morgan interviews Tiffany Alblinger, a homebirth midwife with Beautiful One Midwifery in San Diego, and we talk all about preeclampsia through a midwifery model of care lens. We discuss the basic things, like what it is, what the symptoms are, and how you might come to be diagnosed - but then we also talk about prevention from a holistic point of view - and what can be done if you'd had preeclampsia in a previous pregnancy and don't want to get it again. Tiffany explains how she uses a functional medicine approach to looking at a woman's whole diet and lifestyle to work at optimizing birth outcomes from before they even become pregnant, and then what she does to support them if the body is showing signs of tracking toward preeclampsia. It's a fascinating conversation, so let's jump in! Resources From The Episode:

| 'Just Relax' and the Wisdom Behind Fertility Energy | #18 | 04 May 2023 | 00:41:45 | |
Are you trying to conceive and tired of hearing people tell you to “just relax”? If so, you are not alone. This phrase is one of the most common and often most frustrating things women hear on their fertility journey. While it can feel dismissive and oversimplified, is there actually some truth behind it? In this episode, we unpack the real meaning behind the concept of “relaxing” when trying to conceive and explore whether stress truly plays a role in fertility. We dive into the emotional and physiological impact of chronic stress, how it can affect hormone balance, and why simply being told to relax is not a helpful or complete solution. We also introduce the concept of the fertility battery and fertility energy, offering a new way to think about how your body allocates resources for reproduction. This perspective can be incredibly empowering as you begin to understand how lifestyle, mindset, and nervous system regulation all play a role in optimizing fertility. If you have ever felt frustrated, overwhelmed, or misunderstood on your conception journey, this episode will give you a fresh, compassionate, and practical lens to approach fertility.

Creating a birth plan is one of the most empowering steps you can take during pregnancy, and in this episode, we break down exactly why it matters and how to do it well. Despite the stigma that birth plans are rigid or unrealistic, we explain how they actually serve as a powerful communication tool that helps you clarify your preferences, understand your options, and advocate for yourself during labor and delivery. This conversation explores both the practical and emotional aspects of birth planning, including how mindset, preparation, and flexibility all play a role in shaping your experience. We walk through the key components to consider when building your birth plan, from labor preferences and pain management options to common hospital interventions for both mom and baby. You will learn how to think through decisions around induction, monitoring, movement during labor, pushing positions, and immediate postpartum care for your newborn. We also discuss how to involve your partner or support team so everyone is aligned and confident in advocating for your wishes, even if things do not go exactly as planned. Because while birth plans are important, the ability to adapt with confidence and clarity is just as essential. Whether you are planning a home birth, hospital birth, or something in between, this episode will help you feel informed, supported, and prepared to approach your birth experience with intention.

Mastitis is one of the most painful and frustrating challenges that can come with breastfeeding, but the good news is that care guidelines have evolved significantly and for the better. In this episode, we break down everything you need to know about mastitis using the most up-to-date, evidence-based approaches. We go far beyond the basics and walk you through how to identify the different types of mastitis, why that matters for treatment, and how to approach care in a way that actually supports healing rather than making things worse. You will learn what causes mastitis, how to prevent it from happening in the first place, and what to do if you find yourself dealing with recurrent or chronic cases. One of the most important parts of this conversation is understanding what to do and what NOT to do when symptoms arise. Many of the commonly recommended strategies are now outdated and may actually worsen inflammation or prolong recovery. We unpack these myths and replace them with practical, effective tools you can confidently use. This episode is especially meaningful as we share personal experience navigating recurrent mastitis and the lessons learned along the way, so you do not have to feel alone or confused if you are going through it. Whether you are currently breastfeeding, preparing for postpartum, or supporting someone who is, this episode will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to manage mastitis in a way that promotes healing and long-term breast health.

| A Deep Dive into Lip and Tongue Ties | #12 | 08 Mar 2023 | 01:00:58 | |
Tongue ties are one of the most talked-about and controversial topics in infant health right now, and for good reason. In this episode, we take a deep and honest look at what tongue ties actually are, how they impact your baby, and why this conversation has become so complex in recent years. We break down how oral ties, including tongue ties and lip ties, can affect far more than just breastfeeding. From difficulty latching and feeding to challenges with starting solids, speech development, oral hygiene, breathing patterns, and even facial structure, the function of the tongue plays a critical role in both short- and long-term health. This episode also explores the rapid growth of the tongue tie industry, including the benefits of increased awareness as well as the potential downsides. While more families now have access to helpful resources and solutions, there is also a concerning trend of overdiagnosis and profit-driven care that can leave parents feeling confused and overwhelmed. We walk through how to recognize signs and symptoms of oral ties, what proper functional assessment should look like, and how to approach treatment decisions with confidence. Most importantly, we emphasize the importance of looking at the whole picture and focusing on function, not just diagnosis. Whether you are navigating feeding challenges with your baby, exploring oral tie revisions, or simply wanting to better understand how early oral function impacts lifelong health, this episode will give you clarity, perspective, and practical guidance.

| Postpartum Sex: What to Expect and How To Improve It | #11 | 01 Mar 2023 | 00:49:54 | |
Postpartum sex is one of the most real and rarely talked about parts of life after having a baby, and in this episode, we are going there. We dive into what actually happens to your body, hormones, and desire after birth, and why sex can feel completely different in the postpartum season. From physical healing and hormonal shifts to emotional changes and relationship dynamics, we unpack what is normal, what may feel surprising, and why so many women feel disconnected from intimacy during this time. We also talk about how to communicate with your partner about these changes in a way that fosters understanding, connection, and support rather than pressure or confusion. If you have ever felt unsure how to explain what you are experiencing or how to navigate intimacy after baby, this conversation will help you feel seen and supported. You will walk away with practical tools to support your body’s recovery, rebuild trust with your body, and ease back into intimacy in a way that feels safe and aligned for you. This is not about rushing the process, but about understanding it. As always, we are keeping it real, raw, and honest so you can feel less alone in this season and more empowered in your postpartum journey.

| Breastfeeding: What to Know BEFORE Your Baby is Born | #10 | 23 Feb 2023 | 00:43:10 | |
Breastfeeding may be natural, but that does not mean it comes naturally. Both you and your baby are learning a brand new skill together, and without the right support, it can feel overwhelming fast. In this episode, we break down the foundational principles of successful breastfeeding and how you can begin preparing during pregnancy to set yourself up for a smoother experience postpartum. From understanding how milk supply works to learning proper positioning, latch techniques, and recognizing what is normal versus what may need support, we cover it all. We also dive into common challenges many new moms face, including tongue ties, letdown reflex, building and regulating supply, and navigating issues like clogged ducts and mastitis. With so many steep learning curves in the newborn phase, having education ahead of time can make a massive difference in your confidence and outcomes. One of the biggest gaps modern mothers face is lack of exposure. In past generations, women were surrounded by breastfeeding examples from a young age, but today many mothers have never even seen a baby latch before their own. This episode aims to bridge that gap by giving you both knowledge and reassurance. Whether you are planning to breastfeed, currently pregnant, or already in the early days postpartum, this episode will help you feel more prepared, supported, and empowered to build a positive breastfeeding experience for both you and your baby.

| Body Image from Womanhood to Motherhood with Dr. Cerra Kelly | #9 | 16 Feb 2023 | 00:26:21 | |
Body image during pregnancy and postpartum is one of the most deeply felt yet rarely discussed aspects of motherhood, and in this powerful episode, we are bringing it into the light. Joined by Dr. Cerra Kelly, naturopathic doctor and women’s reproductive health expert, we explore the emotional and physical realities of how a woman’s body changes through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. In a culture that pressures women to “snap back” and erase the visible signs of motherhood, we challenge that narrative and open up a more compassionate and realistic conversation. We dive into the concept of body neutrality and how it can be a more accessible and healing approach than striving for constant body positivity. For women with a history of disordered eating or body image struggles, pregnancy and postpartum can be especially triggering, and Dr. Cerra shares how she supports patients through these challenges with practical tools and mindset shifts. We also discuss the importance of adequate nourishment for fertility, pregnancy, and breastfeeding, including why weight gain can be protective and supportive of both baby development and milk supply. This episode highlights the connection between physical health, emotional healing, and self-perception. A particularly powerful part of this conversation is the idea of re-parenting and healing the inner child, addressing where body image struggles may have first taken root and how to begin rewriting that narrative. This episode is an invitation to shift from criticism to compassion, and to cultivate a deeper sense of respect and appreciation for the incredible work your body is doing in creating and nurturing life.

IVF can be both a miracle and a deeply complex decision, and in this episode, we are having an honest, nuanced conversation about it all. Dr. Leah shares her personal story of needing IVF to become a mom and the immense gratitude she has for the role it played in building her family. At the same time, we explore a critical question that many couples are facing today: is IVF always the right next step, or are too many people being funneled into this path without fully exploring other options? We unpack the current fertility landscape, including gaps in the conventional system that may lead to premature recommendations for IVF, and where a more comprehensive evaluation could make a difference. This conversation is not about fear or avoidance, but about empowerment and informed decision-making. You will learn practical steps you can take right now to assess and support your fertility, whether you are just beginning your journey or have been trying to conceive for some time. We discuss foundational factors like hormone balance, lifestyle, and testing, as well as how to approach your fertility in a proactive and personalized way.

| Postpartum Healing: No More Mothers Left in the Dust | #7 | 01 Feb 2023 | 00:52:52 | |
The postpartum period, often called the fourth trimester, is one of the most important and under-supported seasons in a woman’s life, and this episode is dedicated entirely to caring for YOU. While so much attention is placed on the newborn, many mothers are left depleted, overwhelmed, and underprepared for their own recovery. In this episode, we shift the focus back to where it belongs by exploring what true postpartum care should look like and how to intentionally prepare for it. We draw on traditional practices from cultures around the world that prioritize rest, nourishment, warmth, and community support for new mothers. These time-tested approaches offer a powerful contrast to modern expectations of “bouncing back” and doing it all alone. You will learn how to create a postpartum plan that supports deep healing, including practical ways to incorporate warming foods, prioritize rest, limit stress, and build a support system that allows you to fully recover. We also discuss how reconnecting with nature and slowing down can play a key role in emotional and physical resilience during this transition. This episode is your invitation to approach postpartum with intention so you can enter motherhood feeling nourished, supported, and truly cared for rather than burnt out and depleted.

| Sperm Matter: Why We Should Care About Male Fertility | #6 | 25 Jan 2023 | 00:41:23 | |
Male fertility plays a far bigger role in conception than most people realize, yet it is often overlooked in the fertility conversation. In this episode, we shine a light on why sperm health matters just as much as egg quality and how it can impact not only your ability to conceive, but also pregnancy outcomes and your child’s long-term health. We break down how sperm are made, what influences their quality, and why male fertility is declining at an alarming rate worldwide. From lifestyle factors and environmental exposures to nutrition and stress, we explore the key drivers behind sperm health and what may be working against it in modern life. Most importantly, we provide practical, actionable steps you or your partner can take to optimize sperm quality and improve your chances of conception. Whether you are just beginning your fertility journey or have been trying for some time, understanding and supporting male fertility can be a game changer. This topic is deeply personal and powerful, and our goal is to empower couples with the knowledge and tools they need to take control of their fertility and support the healthiest possible future for their children.

What actually happens in your body when labor begins? And how can understanding that process help you have a smoother, more empowered birth experience? In this episode, we take you through a foundational crash course in birth physiology so you can better understand what is happening inside your body during labor and delivery. We break down what triggers labor to start, how key hormones work together to create contractions, and why your environment and mindset can either support or stall the process. You will learn how to work with your body rather than against it by understanding the natural flow of labor. We also explore why contractions can feel painful, what is happening on a physiological level, and practical ways to reduce that pain through movement, positioning, and nervous system support. We also discuss common reasons labor may slow down or stall and what you can do to help get things moving again in a natural and supportive way. Plus, we dive into the incredible and often overlooked transitions your baby goes through during birth, including what happens in their body when they take their very first breath.

| The Birth Control “Cure”: Why Birth Control Is Not the Answer | #3 | 10 Jan 2023 | 00:39:09 | |
Birth control is one of the most commonly prescribed medications for women, but how much do we really understand about what it is doing inside the body? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the history and origin of birth control so you can better understand how it became such a widespread solution in women’s health. From there, we break down exactly how hormonal birth control works and what it is actually doing to your hormones, ovulation, and natural cycle. We unpack a major misconception around birth control bleeds and explain why the “period” you experience on hormonal birth control is not a true menstrual cycle. This distinction is key when it comes to understanding your hormone health and fertility. We also explore why birth control is so often prescribed as a quick fix for symptoms like acne, irregular cycles, and painful periods, and why it may not address the root cause of hormonal imbalances. Most importantly, we share practical ways to support your body both on and off birth control. You will learn how to protect your hormones, support your natural cycle, and preserve your fertility through simple lifestyle, nutrition, and holistic health strategies. Whether you are currently on birth control, considering coming off, or just want to better understand your body, this episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and equipped to make the best decisions for your health.

| The Birth System Trap: Pitfalls of Modern Birth | #2 | 09 Jan 2023 | 00:43:47 | |
Is the modern birth system truly designed to support the natural process of labor? In this episode, we take an honest and eye-opening look at the realities of the industrialized birth system and how it often works against the physiology of labor rather than supporting it. We break down how standard practices in many hospital settings can lead to unnecessary interventions and how this impacts outcomes for both mothers and babies. We explore key topics such as due dates and how they are often misunderstood, the cascade of interventions that can begin with induction, and the rising rates of cesarean births. You will learn why physiological labor requires specific conditions to unfold properly and how those conditions are frequently disrupted in modern medical environments. We also highlight the lack of individualized care in today’s system and how this contributes to many women feeling disempowered during their birth experience. Most importantly, we walk through common “trap points” where women may unknowingly be guided toward interventions that may not always be necessary. This episode is not about fear, but about awareness and education. Our goal is to help you understand your options, ask better questions, and feel confident advocating for the birth experience you want. Whether you are planning a hospital birth, home birth, or just beginning your research, this conversation will leave you feeling informed, prepared, and empowered.

| Truth is Your Medicine with Janne Robinson | #114 | 28 May 2025 | 01:02:25 | |
What does it actually mean to live in your truth — and why is it so hard to access? In this episode, Dr. Leah sits down with poet, author, and coach Janne Robinson for a deeply personal conversation about truth — how we lose it, how we find it, and what it costs to live in alignment with it. Janne shares her own journey of coming back to herself, and how that path led her to help others reconnect with their truth in a world that often pulls us away from it. Together, they explore the courage it takes to be honest with yourself, the layers that keep us disconnected, and what becomes possible when you start listening inward again. This is an intimate, reflective conversation — one that invites you to slow down, get honest, and reconnect with what’s real for you.

| Breastfeeding and Trying To Conceive | #113 | 21 May 2025 | 00:53:49 | |
Trying to get pregnant while still breastfeeding can feel confusing — and often frustrating. In this episode, we break down what’s actually happening in your body when you’re nursing and trying to conceive at the same time. From hormonal shifts to metabolic demands, breastfeeding creates a very different physiological environment than a typical fertile cycle — and understanding that difference is key. We walk through how lactation impacts ovulation, what might be delaying your return to fertility, and what you can do to support your body if you’re hoping to grow your family while still nursing. If you’ve been wondering why it’s taking longer to conceive while breastfeeding — or what you can do to improve your chances — this episode will give you a clear, grounded path forward.

It’s honest, messy, and probably more relatable than most people admit out loud.

| Vaccine Dilemmas: Hesitancy, Studies, & Alternative Schedules with Dr. Joel Gator Warsh | #109 | 23 Apr 2025 | 01:11:35 | |
Vaccines are one of the most talked-about — and often polarizing — topics in modern medicine. But what happens when we step outside of black-and-white thinking and make space for a more nuanced conversation? In this episode, Dr. Morgan sits down with integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh to explore the growing conversation around vaccines, parental decision-making, and the challenges of navigating this topic in today’s medical landscape. They discuss the factors contributing to declining vaccination rates, what’s driving vaccine hesitancy among parents, and the gaps many feel exist in long-term safety data and individualized care. From alternative schedules to vitamin K and beyond, this conversation aims to open up dialogue — not shut it down. This is not about telling you what to think — it’s about helping you think more deeply, ask better questions, and feel more empowered in your role as a parent. Resources From This Episode:

| Abortion: Nuance + Challenge with Dr. Nathan Riley OBGYN | #126 | 20 Aug 2025 | 01:36:18 | |
Dr. Morgan and Dr. Nathan Riley have an open, and most importantly, nuanced conversation about abortion. Dr. Riley is an OBGYN and is dual board-certified in hospice and palliative care, so he offers an interesting perspective of expertise in both the beginning AND the end of life. Our goal in this episode is not to take sides, but to explore the shades of gray in a topic that is often painted in black and white. This conversation may not be for everyone - and that’s okay. It isn’t a perfect discussion, but we hope you’ll find something in it that resonates, challenges, or simply helps you understand the realities others face - realities you may never have had to think about, which in itself can be a kind of privilege.

Ectopic pregnancy is something many women don’t fully understand — until they’re faced with it. In this episode, Dr. Leah sits down with Sophia Pavia, The TTC Nutritionist, to share her deeply personal and recent experience with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy — a life-threatening condition that often comes as a complete shock. Sophia walks us through the early signs, the unexpected diagnosis, what she went through physically and emotionally, and what she wishes more women knew. They also discuss potential contributing factors, what to watch for if something feels off, and how to advocate for yourself in moments that matter most. If you’re trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or simply want to be more informed about your body, this is an important and eye-opening conversation — one that could help you recognize the signs and take action sooner. Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of pregnancy loss. Resources From This Episode:

What does life actually look like with nine kids — and how do you make it work? In this episode, Dr. Morgan sits down with Arianna Alloway (“Oh That Hippie Mom”) to explore the realities of building a big family — from the emotional and spiritual decisions behind having more children, to the very real logistics of making daily life function. Arianna shares her experience navigating everything from “spirit babies” and family planning decisions to vasectomy reversal, postpartum mental health, and handling judgment from others. They also dive into the practical side of life with many kids — managing schedules, sleep, space, sibling dynamics, and the systems that keep it all running. This is a raw, fascinating, and deeply human conversation about motherhood at scale — and the intentional choices behind creating a life that looks different from the norm.

| The Motherhood Shift: Embracing the Pain, Growth & Power | #106 | 02 Apr 2025 | 01:06:15 | |
Motherhood is often painted as something purely joyful — but the reality is far more complex. In this episode, we get honest about the real process of becoming a mother — the identity shift, the discomfort, the unraveling, and the transformation that can happen when we’re actually supported through it. Using two powerful frameworks to guide the conversation, we explore why the pain, challenge, and emotional intensity of motherhood aren’t signs that something is wrong — but often signs that something meaningful is happening. And how, without proper support, expectations, and cultural acknowledgment, that transformation can feel confusing, isolating, or even lost altogether. This is a deeper conversation about what motherhood asks of us — and what it could become if we allowed space for the full experience. Resources From This Episode:
