168. [Women’s Health Series] Prepping for Momhood - Pregnancy, Birth, Postpartum with Dr. Morgan MacDermott
03/18/25 • 64 min
Welcome to the Women's Health Series! We're going beyond our usual focus on nutrition and fitness with five special guest interviews covering a range of holistic health and well-being topics.
In this episode, Dr. Morgan MacDermott discusses key factors to prepare us (especially high-achieving females) for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I love how she keeps it real while giving helpful insights and tips beyond what a typical clinical setting would provide or acknowledge.
Dr. Morgan is a rising leader in women’s reproductive health committed to helping modern mothers transform their daily struggles into stepping stones toward a more supported, balanced, and confident state of being. In a broad sense, she believes that the health of the mother is the health of the community, and it is imperative we treat her as such.
As a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and mother of four young children, she blends functional medical expertise, clinical skill, and first-hand experience to help women navigate wellness for themselves and their families.
She is the founder of Milk MedicineTM, a comprehensive online community of educational resources guiding women through the many transitions of motherhood - from pregnancy, through birth, and throughout postpartum. Dr. Morgan co-hosts the Healthy as a Mother podcast with Dr. Leah Gordon, a weekly educational conversation around becoming and being a mother.

167. [Women's Health Series] Pelvic Floor Health with Dr. Lauren Mallari-Snyder
Welcome to the first episode of our Women's Health Series! We're going beyond our usual focus on nutrition and fitness with five special guest interviews covering a range of holistic health and well-being topics.
In this episode, we delve into the often-overlooked topic of pelvic floor health with specialist Dr. Lauren Mallari-Snyder. We discuss causes and symptoms of pelvic floor issues, the correlation between stress and pelvic health, and the importance of muscle mobility. Lauren provides insight into both pain and pleasure aspects tied to pelvic floor health while offering practical evaluation and improvement tips. Whether you're dealing with related symptoms or just looking to prevent future issues, this episode is packed with valuable information.
Lauren is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, specializing in pregnancy, postpartum, and pelvic floor. She helps people strengthen their pelvic floor, core and orgasms, stop leaking, eliminate pain with sex and prep for birth! She got into this specialty 12 years ago after, frankly, being pissed off that there wasn’t better care for the Mothers in our world. Though she works primarily with pregnant and postpartum women, she wants you to know that everyone with a pelvis, has a pelvic floor!
