  • Biohacking Your Cycle & Balancing Blood Sugar | with Caitlin Cipriano
    Nov 5 2024

    Today, we are talking with Caitlin Cipriano. Caitlin lives in Vermont with her husband, two littles, and their two dogs. She is a graduate of Logan University's Nutrition and Human Performance program and a Certified Perinatal Nutritionist. Her mission is to help women nourish so that they can flourish from conception all the way through postpartum.

    I have been really excited to share this episode with you all because I am so passionate about this topic. Caitlin and I talk about all things cycle-syncing (aka my favorite form of biohacking) as well as the importance of blood sugar regulation. I truly believe these are two of the most important concepts to understand when it comes to fertility and hormone health. Whether you are TTC, currently pregnant, or just looking to learn more about your body, you have landed in the right place. I promise you are going to walk away with so much information that you can literally implement today to majorly improve your health.

  • Tongue Ties & Breastfeeding 101 | with Sarah O'Rourke, IBCLC
    Nov 5 2024

    Today, we are talking with Sarah O’Rourke. Sarah is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and mom of two. She owns a private practice called Milk and Honey Breastfeeding Services located in Travelers Rest, SC and also offers virtual care worldwide. Sarah specializes in prenatal care and oral ties, which is why I was so thrilled to have her on for this conversation.

    In the episode, we start by talking about common hindrances in the early postpartum and how we can prepare prenatally for a successful breastfeeding experience. But then we really get into the meat and potatoes in our conversation about tongue ties. Sarah helps to clarify misinformation around oral ties, including identifying the difference between functional and anatomical ties, which should not necessarily be treated in the same way. We get into why bodywork is so important and why revisions are often overprescribed. My hope is that this conversation equips you with the tools you need to make the best decisions for your baby and your family when it comes to breastfeeding.

  • The Hormonal Cocktail of Birth & Rhythm as Medicine | with Carey Glenn, LM, CPM
    Nov 5 2024

    Today, we are talking with midwife Carey Glenn. In addition to her home birth midwifery practice, Carey is also an educator, bodyworker, mentor and rhythmic therapist. She weaves these passions together into unique offerings for her intimate community of in-person clients, mentorship students, and the wider world through online courses, speaking events and film screenings. She also co-produced the one-of-a-kind undisturbed birth documentary titled These Are My Hours. You can watch the film here.

    In the episode, Carey and I discuss the hormonal cocktail of birth, the concept of embodiment, the importance of communication skills and the powerful practice of using rhythm as medicine throughout pregnancy, birth and motherhood. I hope you gain as much wisdom from this interview as I did!

    You can find Carey on Instagram at @rootedbirth.education!
