In this episode, we dive into part two of the baby reflux series with Emily Swann, a nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Emily shares her personal journey as a mom navigating silent reflux with her daughter and how it inspired her to integrate holistic practices like bodywork and nutrition into her approach to infant health. We discuss practical tips for addressing posture, movement, and environment to support babies with reflux and empower parents to take a proactive role in their baby’s healing. This episode is a great listen whether you’re dealing with reflux, colic, or just want to learn how to support your baby’s well-being naturally! Emily Swann is a wife, mother, nurse and Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant. What started out as a career as a NICU nurse quickly turned into a love for holistic wellness outside the hospital system and her passion is helping women and babies breastfeed through holistic lactation work. Emily incorporates bodywork and nutrition as key pillars for infant health and looks at the dyad of mother and baby as one rather than two separate parts. We talk about: Emily's personal experience with reflux with her daughter, and what she believes to have been the root of the reflux Explanation of dynamic infant movement How oral restrictions can impact reflux Emily's tips for moms to do bodywork on their own babies/children Outsourcing motherhood with informed decision making Free Healthy Period Starter Guide: https://hormonehealingrd.ck.page/ab86b6faf2 Connect with Emily: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theloveofbreastfeeding Links/Resources: Get Emily's Dynamic Infant Movement course: https://www.theloveofbreastfeeding.com/offers/RLjhVyEL?coupon_code=AMANDAM FAQ’s on Emily’s website: https://www.theloveofbreastfeeding.com/faq Get Emily’s free body work video: https://www.theloveofbreastfeeding.com/freebie-1-landing-page Connect with Me: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hormonehealingrd Free Thyroid Training: https://hormonehealingrd.com/opt-in/free-functional-thyroid-mini-course-podcast/ Feminine Periodical (weekly newsletter): http://bit.ly/2tWOBtw Master Your Minerals course: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/master-your-minerals-course…

In today's episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Therese Dansby, a registered nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). We dive deep into the world of infant reflux, discussing everything from symptoms and challenges to alternative therapies and personal experiences. Therese shared her wealth of knowledge on topics like oral restrictions, bodywork, and the importance of a holistic approach when it comes to helping babies with reflux. This is a great episode if you're a mom struggling with infant reflux or just want to learn more about this common issue. Therese started her career as a NICU nurse in 2007, pivoted to birth center postpartum care in 2013, and became an IBCLC in 2015. Helping moms build confidence in their breastfeeding choices and work through breastfeeding struggles is her dream job alongside homeschooling her own three children, ages 10, 7, and 2. We talk about: Various root causes of infant reflux, including physical factors and chemical factors The range of symptoms from reflux, such as mild "happy spitting" to severe cases requiring medical intervention, such as GERD in NICU settings The value of a holistic approach for addressing feeding techniques, bodywork, dietary changes, and alternative therapies like homeopathy The importance of identifying the underlying issues contributing to your baby's reflux, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach Following your maternal intuition and working with healthcare providers who will listen to your concerns Functional Thyroid Mini Course: https://hormonehealingrd.com/opt-in/free-functional-thyroid-mini-course-podcast/ Connect with Therese: Milk & Motherhood Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0bZdEwtkT96shfLpeKKzGN?si=En1Da6wXRtKL4gONrKT-4w&nd=1&dlsi=00c957b6ca544a16 Allergen free cookbook: https://happymamahealthybaby.freshlearn.com/10729 Online breastfeeding course: https://happymamahealthybaby.freshlearn.com/nourished-beginnings Website: https://theresedansby.wixsite.com/therese Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/happy.mama.healthy.baby/ Handout that we promised on a summary from this episode: https://aympodcast.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Baby+Reflux+Resources.pdf Connect with Me: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hormonehealingrd Free Thyroid Training: https://hormonehealingrd.com/opt-in/free-functional-thyroid-mini-course-podcast/ Feminine Periodical (weekly newsletter): http://bit.ly/2tWOBtw Master Your Minerals course: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/master-your-minerals-course…

In today's episode, we're diving deep into the intricate world of mineral balance and its pivotal role in women's health.

58:46

In this episode, I am joined by Taylor Goldberg to discuss all things hypermobility. This is a diagnosis that I have seen in an increasing number of clients, so I’m excited to have Taylor on and educate more on the topic. We previously discussed hypermobility in the two MCAS episodes with Michelle Shapiro. I’ll link them below! Taylor is a Chiropractor-turned Virtual Hypermobility Coach who helps people struggling with hypermobility (and related conditions) navigate the newness and unknowns of HSD/hEDS, enabling them to understand their body's unique needs and regain a fulfilling life. In addition to assisting clients with hypermobility, she recently launched a course aimed at helping clinicians better understand how to assist their hypermobile patients. Taylor possesses a unique perspective rooted in her education and personal experiences with hypermobility, which has driven her to initiate changes not only within the hypermobility community but also within the chiropractic field. She recently introduced a mentorship program called 'Clinical Concepts,' where they delve into the drawbacks of one-size-fits-all chiropractic practices and underscore the significance of an evidence-based approach to treatment and self-care. This episode covers: Taylor's journey from her background as a chiropractor to pivoting to be a hypermobility coach What is hypermobility and it impacts our health How MCAS impacts hypermobility Taylor's approach to supporting individuals with hypermobility thrive, including tracking flares and lab testing Advice for finding an exercise routine, including what to be careful with Actionable tips to support your hypermobility daily Thyroid Mineral Training: https://hormonehealingrd.com/opt-in/free-functional-thyroid-mini-course-podcast/ Links/Resources: Work with Taylor Clinician course Resource page Clinical Concepts IG MCAS podcast episode with Michelle Shapiro part 1 MCAS podcast episode with Michelle Shapiro part 2 Guava app Connect with Taylor: Website: https://thehypermobilechiro.com/ Instagram: @thehypermobilechiro Connect with Me: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hormonehealingrd Free Thyroid Training: https://hormonehealingrd.com/opt-in/free-functional-thyroid-mini-course-podcast/ Feminine Periodical (monthly newsletter): https://hormonehealingrd.ck.page/d0317056cd Master Your Minerals course: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/master-your-minerals-course…

After our initial discussion in the last episode about how these conditions relate to one another, today we are diving into conventional treatments and functional approaches for MCAS, POTS, and hypermobility.

Michelle is an integrative and functional registered dietitian who has helped over 1,000 clients reverse their anxiety, heal longstanding gut issues and immune issues, and approach their weight in a loving way. Together, we discuss the complex world of long Covid, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and histamine issues and Michelle shares her personal journey and insights on how chronic stress, gut health, and hypermobility intersect with these conditions.

In this episode, I’m going through some of the most helpful areas to focus on for an enjoyable postpartum season with your new baby. Before I dig in, I want to acknowledge that there are many times when things happen that make our postpartum experience less enjoyable that are completely out of our control. I also think we can recover and heal from a stressful postpartum experience. Both us and our babies. I share: The difference in my postpartum experiences with each of my daughters Tips for building sustainable postpartum habits How to prioritize self-care & postpartum support Focus on nervous system health practices to help regulate emotions and build resilience The importance to simplify, adjust expectations, and let go of perfectionism during the postpartum season Thyroid Mineral Training: https://hormonehealingrd.ck.page/e5aa246b68 Links/Resources: Prenatal blog: https://hormonehealingrd.com/blog/prenatal-nutrition/ Adrenal cocktail: https://hormonehealingrd.com/blog/adrenal-cocktail-recipes/ Irene Lyon nervous system episode: https://hormonehealingrd.com/podcast-episode/s5-e9-nervous-system-101/ Pregnancy adrenal cocktail: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZuFOjfLWOT/?img_index=1 Circadian rhythm episode: https://hormonehealingrd.com/podcast-episode/s5-e22-light-your-circadian-rhythm-your-hormones-with-carrie-bennett/ Breastfeeding accounts: https://www.instagram.com/happy.mama.healthy.baby/ https://www.instagram.com/theloveofbreastfeeding Connect with Me: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hormonehealingrd Free Thyroid Training: https://hormonehealingrd.ck.page/bc89ec6723 Feminine Periodical (monthly newsletter): https://hormonehealingrd.ck.page/d0317056cd Master Your Minerals course: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/master-your-minerals-course…

Amaia's Birth Story 51:39

In this episode, I am sharing my second daughter, Amaia’s birth story. I will also be answering questions this community submitted on IG! This is my birth experience and I will say, I had a beautiful birth at home, it could not have gone better. My first birth was very painful, I thought about giving up multiple times, and had a lot of fear in the beginning. I held a lot of resentment for a while about the pain I went through but I’ve come to change my tune and be grateful for that birth. Katelyn from Happy Homebirth Podcast once told me you have the birth you need. Making the transition from maiden to mother the first time is a lot, at least it was for me. The painful birth prepared me and gave me a little taste for what was ahead. I love being a mom and my entire life revolves around my girls, but it doesn’t mean it’s not hard. It has changed me in ways I couldn’t imagine. If your birth was challenging, I hope it changed you for the better too. I share: How and when my contractions started Tools I used for pain management during labor Not tensing my uterus or pelvic floor during contractions to make progress How my husband supported me the most Comparing the births of both daughters What I did and used after birth for recovery and healing Minerals 101 Guide: https://hormonehealingrd.com/opt-in/mineral-101-freebie-pc/ Links/Resources: Sitz bath: https://www.momandme.com/products/organic-herbal-sitz-bath?variant=39366246400094¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgJyyBhCGARIsAK8LVLMvJjGSB7dm5FYhRfGWAeW1CIjECKvKNn7u84ueQIRPBbRkkYp9LBoaAhWgEALw_wcB Bao Bei Body (Use code mamastefit for 25% off): https://www.baobeibody.com/products/bloomers-maternity-postpartum-undie-black Herbs from milk moon herbs: https://www.themilkmoon.com/shop/milk-moon-collection Silverettes: https://silveretteusa.com/ Connect with Me: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hormonehealingrd Free Thyroid Training: https://hormonehealingrd.ck.page/bc89ec6723 Feminine Periodical (monthly newsletter): https://hormonehealingrd.ck.page/d0317056cd Master Your Minerals course: https://www.hormonehealingrd.com/master-your-minerals-course…
