#51: Trimester Breakdown: Focus Points + Tips

02/28/24 • 49 min

This week I take you on a little adventure through the trimesters of pregnancy. I break down common symptoms you might feel and offer ideas on how to manage those from a natural, integrative medicine perspective, as well as highlight various focus points for each 3-month period - whether that be the types of labs you might want to ask your provider for, or the types on information that would be smart to begin researching. I help answer some of the common questions I get all the time: What can be done about morning sickness? When do I start supplementing, and with what? Can you manage a UTI naturally during pregnancy? When do I need to change my exercise routine? And so much more!

#52: Vaccines from a Neurodevelopmental Perspective with Dr. Ari Calhoun

You asked, and we answered. Today on the podcast we have Dr. Ari Calhoun, a Naturopathic Doctor, and pediatric neurodevelopmental specialist, on to talk about vaccines from a brain development point of view. Our goal was to tease apart the tough decision-making parents either want or have to make for various reasons, and Dr. Ari shares an individualized approach that we wish all families received. Assessing risk factors for illness, as well as using other methods of risk mitigation, are important parts of this conversation. We discuss vaccination during pregnancy, the immune system's role in normal neurodevelopment, how the brain gets primed for inflammation, the problems with the current schedule and ways to optimize a delayed schedule, detox, autism, testing, measles, and more. Here we go!
