Ep. 11 All the Things You Want to Know about Baby Formula with Dr. Bridget Young PhD

Send us a text

When it comes to infant formula, a lot of questions are raised by concerned parents who are always aiming to give their babies the best nutrition available alongside breastmilk.
**This episode was recorded before the national formula recall**
In today's episode, we have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Bridget Young, Doctor of Perinatal Nutrition and creator of the Confidently Find the Best Baby Formula for Your Unique Angel course.
Dr. Young is a pediatric nutritionist who conducts academic research in human milk composition. She has worked with countless families working through formula tolerance issues, helping them find the perfect feeding solution for their baby.
As a mom of two boys herself, Dr. Young understands how stressful infant feeding (and all the gassy messy issues that come along with it!) can be. She is passionate about reducing some of that stress so parents can just focus on bonding with their baby.
Through her website: BabyFormulaExpert.com, she uses her expertise to educate both parents and pediatricians about the nutrition science behind infant formula with the goal of helping all parents feel empowered and confident in the feeding decisions they make for their special baby.

Ep 13: The Episode That WILL Save Mother's Life with Dr. Crystal Berry-Roberts

Send us a text

This life-threatening hypertensive disorder is responsible for the thousands of women and babies who get very sick each year.
May is preeclampsia month and we want to stress the importance of how this dangerous condition could affect the lives of women and babies out there.
The goal of this episode is to educate parents & birth professionals on what preeclampsia is, and why pregnant women (especially women of color) should listen to their bodies and learn about the signs & symptoms of preeclampsia, including postpartum preeclampsia.

Dr. Crystal Berry-Roberts is a Board Certified OB/GYN physician with more than ten years of experience. She makes listening to her patient's voices a valued priority in the healthcare process. Recognized as one of Austin's Top Doctors for Women (2020); a Texas Super Doctors 2021 Rising Stars; and a Central Texas Top African American Doctor (2021), Dr. Roberts recognizes how women often put themselves last on the list which sometimes results in negative health. She provides gynecological exams and treats reproductive system disorders emphasizing that nothing is routine about a woman’s health. She helps patients have confidence in their care whether this is their first visit to the gynecologist, a first or subsequent pregnancy, they’re starting to think more about family plans, or it’s their annual exam while approaching menopause.
