| You say you want to heal. You say you want to get pregnant. Your subconscious might suggest otherwise, with Teshna Beaulieu, DC | 28 août 2024 | 01:16:33 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal I met Teshna while attending a birth in Albany, NY. My friend for whom I had traveled to Albany to assist with the birth of his fourth child had recommended I check out her practice. It was a very modest chiropractic studio, but the experience with Teshna was anything but ordinary. She introduced me to a unique blend of classical chiropractic care and other techniques meant to help me clear my limiting beliefs. She had me say out loud various phrases about my life and how I perceive love in my life, and then she used muscle testing to determine if I “really believed” what I was saying. As it turns out, I’ve been lying to myself about much that I held in my world. And then the magic trick…She corrected these incongruencies using simple touch, red light, and a few other techniques. It was like magic, and I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t experienced it myself. Meet Teshna Beaulieu, who is likely the most unusual healer I’ve ever met. Visit the show notes for more.

| Your OBGYN Didn't Learn About Nutritional Support for Fertility, with Lily Nichols, RDN, and Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, FAE | 14 août 2024 | 01:11:42 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal Are you ready for a power hour? You are likely already familiar with my guests on today’s episode, but if not, meet Lily and Lisa. Lily Nichols is the author of two of the most important nutritional books ever written pertaining to pregnancy: “Real Food for Pregnancy” and “Real Food for Gestational Diabetes”. Lisa Hendrickson-Jack is the author of “The Fifth Vital Sign”. Lily’s work has been most relevant once you’re already pregnant; Lisa’s work has been beloved by those trying to conceive. Naturally, Lily and Lisa have combined forces to write the new bible for fertility: “Real Food for Fertility”. Guys, when I say I have found my new favorite reference, I mean it with over 2400 citations, “Real Food for Fertility” combined nutritional and metabolic science with fertility awareness tracking. We could have chatted for 6 hours in this interview, but we had to keep it to 60 min, so we dive deep into lifestyle modification and nutrition to improve egg and sperm quality, and you’re going to be wowed!

| Life is finite and there are no mulligans, a conversation on death literacy with end-of-life architect, Tamara MacIntyre, MS, DC, DNM, CEOLD | 31 juil. 2024 | 01:26:21 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal Babies die. Fetuses die. We all die. And yet, we are so death illiterate that even seasoned veterans in the health professions often struggle with how to show up when death inevitably shows up on the doorstep. This topic is especially challenging - but even more important - when the “D” word arises in the context of pregnancy and childbirth. Join me in this very heartfelt conversation with Tamara MacIntyre, an end-of-life architect and retired chiropractor about death, grief, souls, loss, and love. Visit the show notes for more.

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal I don’t think I have prepared for any interview as hard as I prepared for this one. My guest today is Marc Gafni, former rabbi, Hebrew mystic, and author of a number of books, most notably “A Return to Eros”, “Your Unique Self”, and his most recent book, “First Principles and First Values: Forty-Two Propositions on Cosmoerotic Humanism, the Meta-Crisis, and the World to Come”.

| The Aftershock of black women dying in childbirth with Shawnee Benton Gibson & Omari Maynard | 03 juil. 2024 | 01:30:34 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal Shawnee and I met through a 2023 trip to South Africa with Restore Forward and Sevonna Brown. She then introduced me to the film Aftershock, which highlights the ripple effect that results from a woman dying in childbirth, and it was Shawnee’s daughter, Shamony, whose death inspired the film. Shamony is survived by Omari and their two little children. Shawnee and Omari are thus no stranger to the lived experience of losing another black woman at the hands of the most cumbersome and expensive healthcare system on the planet. Why are black families suffering in ways that white families will never have to understand? What can be done to rectify the system? How do we heal as a collective? We do our best to answer these questions in this humbling conversation… Visit the show notes for more.

| There is an awesome OBGYN in Wisconsin offering vaginal breech birth, and his name is Denny Hartung | 26 juin 2024 | 01:22:16 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal I left the conventional medical model because I was worried about being punished for prioritizing patient autonomy over my institution's liability. I thought that the only way that I could reasonably offer vaginal breech birth support for families in need was in the home. But after I met today’s guest, my presumptions were drawn into question. Denny Hartung is an OBGYN and FACOG happily working within a small, community hospital in Wisconsin, and he’s doing just fine. How is this possible? Why aren’t his privileges being questioned? Tune in to find out…And if you want to meet Denny in person and work through some simulations with this walking legend, join us at the 2024 Born Free Twins-Breech. Grab your ticket before we fill up!

| Helping Your Baby Navigate the Pelvis with Nicole Morales and Gail Tully | 19 juin 2024 | 01:50:21 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal My guests today are some of the more important voices in birthwork in the United States today. Gail Tully is the founder of Spinning Babies®. Nicole Morales is a Spinning Babies® instructor and author of several books. Both of these women attend home births, and both fully embody informed consent and an individualized approach to maternity care. In this conversation, we get into positioning, movement, and breath to have a more easy birth, methods for getting your baby situated in the pelvis appropriately, and we even get into a soft debate around dogmatic concepts like “cardinal movements” and breech being a “variation of normal”. I love both Gail and Nicole so dearly, and I’m so excited that they’re going to be educated at the upcoming 2024 Born Free Twins-Breech. Grab your ticket before we fill up!

| Roots, Race, Colonization, and African Spirituality of Childbirth with Dr. Mmatshilo Motsei, PhD | 12 juin 2024 | 01:34:37 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal Dr. Motsei was one of my guides during a recent trip to South Africa to sit in a ceremony with Indigenous midwives through a program offered by my friend Sevonna Brown, National Director of Restore Forward. Sevonna has also been on the podcast. Mmatshilo is a prolific author, healer, and educator, and she will be a keynote speaker at the upcoming Born Free Twins-Breech Conference in Louisville. I am enrolled in her online program “African Spirituality of Childbirth”. In this flowing conversation, we talk about racism, colonization, and spirituality on her continent, using these themes to explore issues within maternal health and birthwork. This was one of my favorite interviews so far… Come, see, and hear from Dr. Motsei and a range of other educators at the 2024 Born Free Twins-Breech. Grab your ticket before we fill up!

| Birthwork: The Intersection of Birth, Death, and Ceremony with Sevonna Brown and Haize Hawke | 05 juin 2024 | 01:11:27 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal Guests: Sevonna Brown is a doula and national director of Restore Forward Haize Hawke is a midwife in southern California and co-founder of The Victoria Project and The Bridge Midwives This conversation is exactly what the birth community needs to hear. Birthwork is the ultimate expression of some of human life's scariest yet most rapturous moments. One becomes the other, and, as such, birthwork itself is an initiation to sitting with the rite of passage of childbirth. In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss initiation rites, ancestral lineages, and steps toward resolving horizontal violence in birthwork. A part of this requires we seek a definition of “expertise” beyond labels and credentials alone. Remember: death is on the line in any true rite of passage. What is the role of discomfort as we sit with birth? For us? For the families whom we serve? Sevonna and Haize will be MCing ("weavers of resonance") the upcoming Born Free Twins-Breech Conference in Louisville this August. Come meet them in person!

| Mothering the mother holistically, with authors Heather Harvey and Karina Krepp | 22 mai 2024 | 01:43:33 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal Heather and Karina are both parents, and their age gap has provided them sufficient life experience to see the glowing gap in care provided to new mothers in our society. Meeting this need is unlikely to come through allopathic medicine and its myriad of resources because they argue - as do I - that a holistic approach is required. After working for years with women utilizing skills they have picked up in the life and health coaching industry, they then turned their attention to writing a book, “The Way Holistic”, to help new moms (and dads) work with their own stories to become better parents and raise charismatic, healthy kiddos. If you are a mother (or plan to be a parent in the future!) there is a lot of wisdom shared in this conversation! Visit the show notes for more. Connect with Heather and Karina:

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal Fadwah is a midwife practicing in Florida. She has attended countless births and has served in numerous local and national leadership committees to improve clients' births. As a result, she has been supporting the upcoming Born Free Twins-Breech Conference in Louisville, specifically by maximizing CEUs for attendees.

His latest publication is An End to Upside Down Medicine, which, like all of his books, is heavily cited and beautifully written. In this conversation, we touch on a few topics that can be a little confronting: vaccines, germ theory, healthcare economics, and materialism.

| A High-Risk OBGYN (MFM) Who Supports Home Birth? Damn right. Meet Kia Lannaman, MD | 01 mai 2024 | 02:06:59 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal Dr. Kia and I met on social media, not the old-fashioned way. Interestingly, my experience with MFMs in my career was bittersweet. I valued their opinion and support in managing high-risk births, but their involvement almost always necessitated intervention by having gotten them involved. But Dr. Kia is different. What stood out to me was her advocacy for home birth. Yes, I’m just as shocked as you! This interview was longer than most because my online community fired dozens of questions that they hoped she would answer, and, in typical brilliant MFM fashion, she took them one by one in this frank, challenging conversation.

| Mini-Sode: Carol Gautschi, a classical midwife, needs midwives to re-member the essence of midwifery | 26 avr. 2024 | 01:05:35 | |
Carol Gautschi has been attending births in the Pacific Northwest for 48 years. Over this time, she has developed a truly holistic view of birth, including unique inquiries into the “why” behind malpresentation to begin with. I invited her onto the podcast for an exclusive audio interview ahead of her presentation at the 2024 Born Free Twins-Breech Conference to better understand her approach to "holistic nutrition", which is as much about food as it about other means of "nourishing" our persons, through emotional, mental, and spiritual means. She has continued teaching and attending births due to her calling to help birthworkers re-member the essence of this work. This one was a real honor to record! Come meet and learn from Carol at the 2024 Born Free Twins-Breech Conference happening in Louisville, KY, from August 8-11, 2024! She'll be joined by international keynote speakers Mmatshilo Motsei, PhD, and Doña Angelina Martinez Miranda, Kristine Lauria, CPM, the team from Breech Without Borders, the team from Spinning Babies, Stu Fischbein, MD, Tracey Vogel, MD, Hermine Hayes-Klein, JD, and many more presenters and speakers.

| Women are being harmed by transvaginal mesh for prolapse repair, with attorney Adam Slater | 17 avr. 2024 | 01:28:10 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal The FDA has rescinded its approval of mesh placed vaginally for uterovaginal prolapse, yet many gynecologists continue this practice, and it comes at the cost of many women’s long-term health. My guest in this episode is not a healthcare provider and had no interest in women’s health until he started hearing stories of women injured by these procedures. He then started litigating on their behalf and made some friends in high places along the way, including gynecologists, urogynecologists, and many other women’s health practitioners trying to right the ship of history towards healing prolapse and healing the women who bring life into the world. Unlike many attorneys, Adam seems to be very empathetic towards women as a consequence of a career highlighted by innumerable “wins” through the legislative process for women harmed by vaginally-placed mesh procedures for prolapse.

| When Fetuses, Babies, Children, and Other Loved Ones Die w/ Blyss Young, LM, CPM | 03 avr. 2024 | 01:46:22 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal Birthwork is a sacred calling. And as we accumulate life experience we can become more comfortable and present with birth, particularly when we begin to accumulate direct experience with the death of loved ones. Death and dying aren’t words that are typically used in a conversation about birth, but many women and their partners don’t experience as radical a confrontation with their own mortality outside of birth, which is a sacred rite of passage. Blyss Young is one of my closest mentors, and she was present for my first home birth, while I was in residency. Having gone through deep losses in succession in recent years, she was gracious enough to share her experiences with me in this very vulnerable and heart-opening conversation <3 Visit the show notes for more.

| Infant Formula is Bullsh*t w/ Kaleb Valdez | 20 mars 2024 | 01:18:54 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal Kaleb Valdez, DC, author of “Starving Babies”, rightfully argues that infant formula is the equivalent of feeding your kiddo junk food. Unless necessary, run as fast as you can away from the formula aisle at the store, and head in the direction of your local raw dairies and breast milk donation station before you inadvertently wreck your newborn’s physical and mental health. The importance of breastfeeding goes way beyond the nutritional components. It’s also critical for co-regulation between a mother and her new baby, the structure of the baby’s jaw and palate, and so much more.

| The many uses of cannabis for women, from the reproductive years through menopause with Michelle Sexton, ND | 06 mars 2024 | 01:33:20 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC & WeNatal Since the 60s, cannabis has been deeply stigmatized, but my work as both an OBGYN and end-of-life doctor has helped me to appreciate the various therapeutic uses for “weed”. Fortunately for you, Dr. Sexton is an expert in the neurochemistry of this wildly misunderstood plant, unfortunately still very stigmatized.

| Chiropractors are doing more than OBGYNs for women’s rights in childbirth (with Elliot Berlin, DC) | 21 févr. 2024 | 01:20:42 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC I met Dr. Berlin at a lunchtime presentation while I was an OBGYN resident. He screened his film “Heads Up: The Disappearing Art of Vaginal Breech Delivery”, and I was discouraged to realize that if I didn’t pursue training in vaginal breech maneuvers, I couldn’t call myself an expert in childbirth. Elliot’s advocacy set me off on a radical path, which ultimately resulted in my being able to offer vaginal breech birth to my birthing clients. I’m so grateful for his work that I should probably offer him my first-born child. Just sit back and enjoy this one. Elliot is a delight! Visit the show notes for more. Reference from the show:

| Mini-Sode: Kristine Lauria tells the story of her recent home birth TRIPLETS!! | 15 févr. 2024 | 00:46:12 | |
Kristine Lauria is a CPM working almost entirely abroad nowadays, but her skillset is occasionally required and called upon in the United States, and this exact set of circumstances arose a few weeks ago.

In this short episode, Kristine shares the birth story.

| You co-created your birth experience (whether you liked it or not) with Eyla Cuenca | 07 févr. 2024 | 01:24:11 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC Eyla is a pretty radical woman. In this episode, she and I riff on radical accountability in birth. After all, you aren’t entitled to having your dream birth, let alone a living baby at the end of the journey. But this isn't meant to discourage you; it’s meant to empower you. Certain things are in your control, and the likelihood of something catastrophic happening in your birth will be much lower if you do your best to control what’s going into your body and how you are showing up in your birth. For too long, women have been gaslit around what’s right for their bodies and babies, yet if you aren’t getting a “hell yes” intuitively to interventions in your pregnancy, then why appease the powers that be and nod along with the program? Nobody will be rushing to your rescue if somebody bad happens at the hands of doctors or midwives, so the decisions ultimately fall to you, not to them. This is a big part of Eyla’s work. She also specializes in pregnancy loss, which our society does an inferior job of supporting. You’re going to be amped as f*ck after listening to this one! Visit the show notes for more.

| Not happy? Not fertile? Feeling unwell? Get your hormones dialed in with Berrion Berry, FAE | 24 janv. 2024 | 01:30:27 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC Berrion has a variety of certifications and credentials under her belt, but her practice focuses on fertility. Anybody who has helped clients struggle with fertility will recognize that subfertility is not the primary issue but a consequence of an upstream issue leading to suboptimal fertility, and there’s no better place to start investigating this problem than the endocrine system. Your hormones are in delicate harmony with one another, and Berrion’s guidance will help them reharmonize, but you’ve ultimately got to be willing to do the work. I’m stoked for you to hear this one!

| Mini-Sode: You are not your body. Birth is not a medical procedure. | 16 janv. 2024 | 00:46:55 | |
In this solo-cast, I revisit a couple of common themese - and controversies - in the birth and "natural health" world. You aren't your body, so why are we investing ALL of our time and energy into "hacking" the physical? This tendency is no different or better than our outdated medical system's approach to birth with the promise alone of "healthy mom, healthy baby". Sara Rosser, CPM, and I created the Born Free Method as an alternative means to view this sacred process, and the various community members that have given birth after taking our program are a testament to us having found a better path forward. The waitlist for the Born Free Method is open! And if you enroll during this launch, you'll enjoy some freebies:

According to Jung, an archetype is “a universal, inherited idea, pattern of thought, or image present in the collective unconscious of all human beings.” Seana’s book, “The Way of Inanna: A Heroine's Guide to Living Unapologetically”, focuses on the archetype of Inanna, one archetype of the Goddess. This conversation is a rollercoaster, and you’re going to be baffled by how casually Seana and I flow into all things related to femininity, vulvas, and the warrior Goddess. Pro tip: Episode 72 on this podcast is a perfect companion to “A Brief-ish History of Western Medicine, Witches, and Women Healers”. Visit the show notes for more.

| Josh Dech takes Nathan to school on gut stuff | 27 déc. 2023 | 01:06:39 | |
The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC Ahh…the gut. Twenty years ago, somebody like Josh Dech would have been quacked right on your friendly social media platform. But now, over 6,000 peer-reviewed papers have been published on the gut microbiome alone. Josh is one of those characters who isn’t an MD, a chiropractor, nor the president of a 3- or 4-letter organization, yet he is every bit of an expert on the topic of gut health and its myriad connections to health and lifespan as any physician. Josh even specializes in the hard stuff: Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis; and other digestive issues that most doctors say can’t be helped. Visit the show notes for more. Connect with the guest:

| The real science from real practitioners on the safety of childhood vaccines with retired pediatrician Paul Thomas, MD | 13 déc. 2023 | 01:22:07 | |
The Episode was made possible by: Immune Intel AHCC. Paul Thomas, MD, is a retired pediatrician who has battled for sovereignty as a physician, fighting endless battles with the medical board of Oregon throughout his career. The point of contention has also been his unwillingness to compromise informed consent related to vaccine schedules. He is the author of The Vaccine-Friendly Plan (co-authored with Jennifer Margulis), and he has otherwise published various studies and papers confronting the narrative that pumping kids full of vaccines is invariably a “good” approach. A study from his own pediatrics practice of over 3000 children, some of whom were fully vaccinated and many others who were variably or fully vaccinated, provides the luxury of comparing the long-term health and behavioral outcomes for parents considering taking the route of vaccinating versus forgoing vaccines altogether. Unfortunately, this original research paper was retracted from the peer-reviewed journal that initially accepted it for publication… and the reasons were what you might expect: “Defy the mainstream narrative, and you will suffer the consequence”. Science be damned. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did! Visit the show notes for more. Watch the interview on RUMBLE! Special offer from Paul Thomas:

| When and How to Intervene in Vaginal Breech Birth with Bada$$ Midwife Kristine Lauria, CPM, LM | 11 oct. 2023 | 01:26:48 | |
The Episode was made possible by BIRTHFIT | WeNatal Kristine Lauria is back on the podcast! Kristine wasn't able to attend the 2023 Born Free Twins-Breech Conference. So I figured...why not bring her onto the podcast to fill in some gaps around breech birth? After nearly two decades attending births in the States, she took her skills abroad working with Médecins Sans Frontières (aka Doctors Without Borders). This is where the magic of Kristine is obvious. She has attended hundreds of breech births due to the lack of access to operating rooms in a variety of resource-poor settings in which she has worked. As a result, she brings some deeply insightful knowledge into how and when to intervene while attending vaginal breech births! If you missed out on this year's conference, 2024 is going to be bigger and better! Pre-register now to save a lot of money and secure your spot! (Kristine will likely be there, wink wink!)

| Mary Holland, JD, and Kim Mack Rosenberg, JD: Unveiling Litigation on HPV Vaccine Injuries | 23 août 2023 | 01:32:14 | |
Mary Holland takes center stage to discuss her extensive involvement in vaccine-related matters alongside her collaborator Kim Mack Rosenberg. Having delved into these concerns long before the release of their book: HPV Vaccine on Trial: Seeking Justice for a Generation Betrayed. Mary’s legal perspective uncovers a significant facet of the vaccine landscape. Notably, the pharmaceutical corporations behind vaccine production seemingly enjoy minimal liability, primarily due to a government compensation program and restricted avenues for civil court recourse. Shedding light on the potential risks of medical interventions, particularly vaccines, which hold the potential for injury and even death. Kim functions as a lawyer and holds the position of acting general counsel at Children’s Health Defense, a non-profit organization with the core objective of safeguarding the progressively vulnerable health and rights of children and other individuals. Alongside this role, she manages a personal law practice that specializes in addressing insurance-related challenges confronted by families dealing with individuals on the autism spectrum disorder and medical service providers catering to those with ASD.

| Dr. Mike DeBord, DC: Is blood flow restriction training the trick for those who can't find time to exercise? | 16 août 2023 | 01:37:30 | |
In fitness innovation, some adhere to traditional routines, while visionaries like Dr. Mike DeBord, President of B3 Bands, defy the norms. As a renowned sports chiropractor, Dr. Mike's venture into blood flow restriction workouts revolutionized exercise perceptions.

| Leedia Riman, DDS: Exploring the interconnections of oral and overall health | 02 août 2023 | 01:26:45 | |
Dr. Leedia is a skilled biological dentist who takes a comprehensive approach to dental care. She aims to address dental problems while also identifying and addressing their underlying causes to prevent future issues. Dr. Leedia focuses on women's dental health, recognizing the unique needs of the female body and considering hormonal fluctuations during different life stages, such as puberty to menopause, by achieving optimal dental health throughout. The connection between the mouth and the body is significant, and there is a very close relationship between these different parts. For instance, dentists often encounter women who experience tooth movement after giving birth multiple times due to the hormone relaxin, which affects ligaments, including those around the teeth. The similarities between oral and vaginal tissues in terms of histology, receptors, and healing processes are truly remarkable. Visit the show notes for more.

| What the hell happened in Canada during COVID? An interview with Mary Sharpe, RM, MEd, PhD, and Deanna McLeod, HBSc, of the Canadian Covid Care Alliance | 29 juil. 2023 | 01:19:53 | |
Sponsored by: Organifi, WeNatal, biOptimizers, BIRTHFIT, Immune Intel AHCC, Rosemary Meran We thought it we had it bad in the U.S. during the COVID "moment", but Canada had its socks rocked off. Fortunately a group of scientists and healthcare workers turned freedom fighters in our mighty neighbor to the North have joined forces to provide much-needed data and insights from what we know (and don't know) about the new mRNA vaccines advertised to "halt the spread of SARS-CoV-2" in order to support family autonomy and re-boot truly informed consent. This alliance is called the Candian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA) In this mini-sode, you'll hear from two of the CCCA freedom fighters. Mary Sharpe, RM, MEd, PhD, is a highly experienced midwife and an original rebel in the renaissance of midwifery in Ontario, Canada, as well as a professor of midwifery. Deanna McLeod is the principal and founder of Kaleidoscope Strategic Inc., an independent medical research firm that supports Canadian clinicians in preparing world class evidence-based reviews that advance patient care nationally and internationally in the areas of oncology, premed immunology and psychology. In March 2021, she launched COVID Sense to equip the non-scientific person with the skills required to interpret COVID-19 data and make informed choices for themselves and others. She has authored over 46 scientific publications. Ms. McLeod is also the Chair of the Strategic Advisory Committee of the CCCA.

| Germ theory and the collapse of medical science? | 22 juil. 2023 | 00:36:29 | |
With viruses "all the rage" in the media, a true scientist must ask themself, "What is a virus?" The next logical question: "Can I be sure that viruses cause disease?" I don't have the answers to these questions, but curiosity abounds. It's not so much the need of the medical sciences to have the answers, but it should would be helpful if there were incentive structures in place to help us find our way. This isn't a solo cast focused solely on SARS-CoV-2. This is a solo cast focused on the sad path that the medical sciences have taken, particularly as scientific inquiry pertains to germ theory and viruses as the sole perpetrator in disease. And my concerns here are not just applicable to infectious disease. They're equally applicable to any of the medical specialties, not least of which is birth. If we aren't able to ask questions, then we'll never be presented with answers. If we continue to demonize pathogens as the sole perpetrators on human health, and fail to emphasize the importance of personal responsibility for one's health, we are doomed.

Sponsored by: WeNatal, BIRTHFIT, Rosemary Meran, biOptimizers, Organifi Kemi Johnson, a passionate mother, birth keeper, and activist, fearlessly challenges the flawed system in maternity care perpetuated by certain healthcare professionals. She questions the mainstream approach, lamenting the loss of autonomy among midwives who conform to what she calls the "toxic jab" of the COVID-19 vaccine. Kemi criticizes the Chief Midwifery Officer for allegedly coercing pregnant individuals into taking the experimental vaccine without sufficient safety data. She admires the few midwives who prioritize principles over conformity, expressing concern about external control over the profession. Kemi calls for radical change and independent thinking to restore respect and integrity to the field. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Kemi's mission is to create a supportive and nurturing community. She understands the impact of fear and isolation on individuals and believes in fostering togetherness despite differing opinions. Recognizing the vital role of birth workers in ensuring future generations' well-being, she responds to the call for unity and support.
