| 10/14/26 | Miscarriage: What No One Tells You About Loss, Recovery & Trying Again | #186 | Going through a miscarriage is heartbreaking, and then you're asked to make a big medical decision while you're still processing the news. In this episode, Dr. Leah Gordon and Dr. Morgan MacDermott walk through the three options for managing a miscarriage: expectant management (letting your body pass the pregnancy on its own), medication (mifepristone and misoprostol), and a D&C (dilation and curettage). They cover the pros, cons, success rates, and risks of each, so you can make an informed choice that feels right for you.They also talk about the things most women aren't told ahead of time. That includes how intense passing a pregnancy at home can be, when bleeding is too much and you need the ER, and why HCG can stay in your system and cause a positive pregnancy test weeks later. They explain retained tissue, how ectopic pregnancy is treated differently, and how testing the pregnancy tissue can give you answers after a loss.Finally, they cover the "mini postpartum" that follows a pregnancy loss. Topics include hormone shifts, when your cycle returns, when it's safe to try again, how to replenish your body, and ways to honor your baby. Whatever you're feeling after a loss is valid. You don't have to go through it alone.0:00 Trailer & Intro3:34 Miscarriage Explained6:10 Why Community Matters After Loss8:04 It's Not Your Fault8:36 The Three Miscarriage Options10:55 The Hard Language of Miscarriage13:24 Grieving a Failed IVF Transfer14:49 Option 1: Expectant Management18:42 What Is a Missed Miscarriage?22:36 You Don't Have to Decide Right Away26:06 Feeling Empowered in Your Choice28:02 Ectopic Pregnancy & Methotrexate32:50 Option 2: Miscarriage Medication36:39 Heavy Bleeding & When to Go to the ER39:28 Medication Success Rates40:51 Option 3: D&C41:54 Testing Tissue for Answers44:55 D&C Pros & Cons46:31 Antibiotics & Anesthesia51:27 D&C Risks by the Numbers53:26 D&C and Future Fertility57:01 Recovering After Anesthesia59:12 The Mini Postpartum After Loss60:37 HCG & False Positive Tests63:54 When to Try Again67:09 Nourishing Your Body After Loss68:08 Your Feelings Are Valid71:19 Asking for What You Need72:14 Ways to Honor Your Baby73:13 Hope After Pregnancy Loss75:46 Natural Support for Grief77:25 ClosingResources From This Episode:Join Dr. Leah's Womanhood Wellness membership - https://drleahgordon.com/join@ihadamiscarriage on Instagram - www.instagram.com/ihadamiscarriage Miscarriage manual - http://www.inciid.org/miscarriage-manualGrief Watch website - http://www.griefwatch.com/symptoms-of-griefAnecdotal natural miscarriage blog - http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/how-to-have-a-natural-miscarriage-no-dc/Healthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond | 1h 18m 02s | ||||||
| 10/7/26 | How to Protect Your Kids From Predators & Grooming: A Survivor's Guide for Parents with Mandi Pagliarini | #185 | How do you talk to your kids about body safety without scaring them? And how do you actually keep them safe? In this episode, we're joined by Mandi Pagliarini (@MandiTalksPredators), a writer, speaker, educator, and mother of two. Mandi is a survivor of sexual assault and child trafficking, and her advocacy focuses on prevention and harm reduction. She gives parents survivor-informed education about grooming and how predators operate.Mandi explains why body safety should be an ongoing series of small conversations, like the way you teach manners, instead of one big talk. She also covers why the words you choose matter: say "share" instead of "tell," and leave out "hurt" and "abuse." She shares her "even if" statements, which let kids know they can come to you no matter who is involved or how the experience felt. We also talk about why boys may be more at risk than we realize, why teaching kids to "say no and fight back" often fails because of the freeze response, and what to teach them instead.We also get into how grooming really works. Predators often groom the parents as well as the child, and they play a long game. Mandi walks through red flags to watch for, like an adult seeking time alone with your child or your child suddenly talking about one adult all the time. She shares practical steps for reducing risk, including open-door playdates, never leaving a child alone with an adult, and avoiding sleepovers. She also talks about how to stay body-positive with little ones without creating shame.Mandi also shares parts of her own story, and why emotional regulation is the foundation that makes kids feel safe enough to come to you.00:00 Trailer & Intro02:00 Welcome Mandi Pagliarini04:29 Why Body Safety Matters Today06:30 Why Boys May Be More at Risk09:17 Who Abusers Really Are10:00 Small Talks, Not "The Big Talk"11:30 Playdate Reminders12:14 Risk Mitigation for Playdates15:55 Say "Share," Not "Tell"17:48 Don't Talk About Consequences20:42 Using "Even If" Statements23:25 Drop the Words "Hurt" and "Abuse"25:44 How Grooming Escalates27:45 How Predators Groom Parents and Kids29:50 Red Flag: Seeking Alone Time31:47 Signs Your Child Is Being Groomed33:14 My Track Coach Story37:00 Body Positivity With Little Kids40:38 Keeping Sex Private Without Shame43:44 What Age to Start the Conversation48:30 How Much Information Is Enough51:04 Sleepovers, Babysitters and Supervision54:43 Mandi's Story57:52 Why "Say No" Doesn't Work61:12 Teach Kids to Fake an Excuse61:50 The Freeze Response and Shame64:44 The Gift of Fear and Intuition67:26 Why Grooming Is So Confusing71:07 "I Didn't Know There Was Anything to Tell"72:40 Books and Resources75:29 Key Takeaways Recap78:37 Why Parents' Emotional Regulation Matters80:26 Wrap UpResources From This Episode:Mandi's Free Body Safety Guides for young kids - https://still-river-23314.myflodesk.com/freeguidetoprotectyourchildrenMandi's Free Body Safety Guides for Teens - https://still-river-23314.myflodesk.com/freeguideforparents?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabT2PVIe_Nq31TE1eMdOVtJ44GKI-COxfMMPIowXJp6-ewevDMmcCNrYLE_aem_LOcKJP_DXi-IkYka2FHLMACheck out Mandi's website - https://www.mandiptalkspredators.com/Follow Mandi on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mandiptalkspredators/The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker - https://a.co/d/0bM0XMT0Good Pictures Bad Pictures by Kristen A.

| 9/30/26 | Women’s Health Labs Your Doctor Isn’t Running but Should Be | #184 | What labs should women actually be asking for, and what do those numbers really tell you about your health? In this episode of Healthy As A Mother, Dr. Leah Gordon breaks down the key labs she believes women should understand, from blood sugar and fasting insulin to thyroid, iron, inflammation, reproductive hormones, vitamin D and more. She explains what these markers can reveal about metabolic health, fertility, energy, hormones, symptoms and overall health, and why looking at a single lab without the right context can sometimes miss the bigger picture.The conversation also dives into reproductive hormone testing, including estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, AMH, testosterone, SHBG and DHEA, with a major emphasis on understanding where you are in your menstrual cycle when certain labs are drawn. Leah and Morgan discuss why cycle tracking and understanding ovulation can give women important context about their own health, whether they are trying to conceive, trying to avoid pregnancy, navigating postpartum or breastfeeding, or approaching perimenopause.They also cover thyroid markers, ferritin and iron studies, hs-CRP and inflammation, cortisol, vitamin D, ANA, and the importance of considering a partner’s semen analysis when trying to conceive. The episode ultimately comes back to one central idea: learning the basics of your own health can help you ask better questions, recognize when something deserves further investigation, and become more informed about what is happening in your body.00:00 Trailer + Introduction03:26 Understanding Women’s Health Labs04:58 Why Testing Matters for Women’s Health09:29 Blood Sugar, Insulin & Metabolic Health16:34 Thyroid Labs: TSH, T3, T4 & Antibodies23:18 Iron & Ferritin: What Women Should Know29:10 Inflammation & hs-CRP33:59 Why Preconception Lab Testing Matters38:57 Reproductive Hormones & Cycle Timing40:52 Estradiol: When to Test Estrogen42:17 Progesterone: When to Test It45:37 Cycle Tracking & Knowing When You Ovulate49:46 FSH & LH: What They Tell You54:42 AMH & Ovarian Reserve57:54 Testosterone, SHBG & DHEA61:14 Cortisol, Vitamin D & Stress62:38 ANA, Fertility & Partner Testing63:56 Understanding Your Labs & Advocating for Your HealthResources From This Episode:Dr. Leah's Free Fertility Lab Guide - https://drleahgordon.com/fertility-lab-guide-freebieDr. Leah's Free Fertility Masterclass - https://fertilitymasterclass.drleahgordon.com/Dr. Leah's Taking Back Fertility Program - https://takebackfertility.drleahgordon.com/Dr. Leah's Womanhood Wellness Membership - https://drleahgordon.com/joinHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond | 1h 06m 30s | ||||||
| 9/23/26 | Eczema in Babies & Kids: Gut, Food, Mold & More with Abbie Bradford | #183 | Eczema is incredibly common in babies and children, but what if the skin is only showing us part of the story? In this episode, Dr. Morgan MacDermott sits down with holistic nurse, clinical herbalist, and pediatric eczema practitioner Abbie Bradford to unpack the many factors that can contribute to eczema and why there isn't one universal cause or solution. They discuss the connection between eczema, gut health, food allergies and sensitivities, the microbiome, antibiotics, C-sections, breastfeeding, environmental exposures, and mold. Abbie also explains why the last thing that happened before a flare isn't necessarily the root cause, when food-based topicals may be problematic for babies, how to think about probiotics and stool testing, and which practical changes parents can start with at home. They also cover mold testing, breastfeeding and elimination diets, allergy testing, topical care, red light, bathing, and why some children may eventually "grow out" of eczema without actually addressing what was happening underneath. Most importantly, this conversation gives parents a framework for thinking about eczema without getting overwhelmed by the endless list of possible triggers. Rather than chasing one cause, Abbie explains how to look at the whole picture and identify the factors that may be contributing to a child's individual presentation.00:00 Trailer + Introduction02:47 Why Eczema Is More Than a Skin Problem06:00 How Common Is Childhood Eczema?09:40 Eczema Is a Symptom, Not the Root Cause11:00 Can Food-Based Lotions Make Eczema Worse?13:28 Vaccines, Immune Reactivity & the “Bucket” Analogy19:42 Are Food Allergies Causing Eczema?21:44 When Baby Rashes Are Normal vs. Concerning23:09 The Gut-Eczema Connection25:47 Mold & Environmental Triggers32:04 How to Test Your Home for Mold38:00 Why Indoor Mold Can Become a Problem40:32 Can Eczema Happen Even Without Antibiotics or Medical Interventions?42:54 Probiotics & Gut Testing for Eczema44:16 Tiny Health vs. GI Map: What Parents Should Know47:55 When Probiotics Can Make Eczema Worse49:57 Gut Healing, Herbs & Why “Killing” Too Soon Can Backfire54:44 The First Things Parents Can Do at Home61:01 Breastfeeding, Elimination Diets & Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy67:57 Will My Child Grow Out of Eczema?72:17 Are Allergy Tests Helpful?74:36 Topicals, Red Light & Caring for Eczema-Prone Skin77:21 Bathing, Moisturizing & Why It Depends79:23 Final Thoughts for ParentsResources From This Episode: Check out Abby's Website - https://www.myvibranthealth.net/Follow Abby on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_abbiebradford/ERMI Mold Dust Test - https://moldtesting.com/IEP (Indoor Environmental Professional) List - https://iseai.org/iep-list/Tiny Health Stool Test - https://tinyhealth.myshopify.com/?rfsn=8737966.461e18&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=8737966.461e18Evivo Probiotic - https://www.evivo.com/ION Biome Gut Support - https://intelligenceofnature.com/products/gut-health-supplementCheck out Free to Feed on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/free.to.feed/Dairy Free Breastfeeding Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/dairyfreediet.breastfeeding/ Lumebox Red Light Therapy Device, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER - https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=4336&discount=healthyasamotherpodcastActive Skin Repair - https://shop.bldgactive.com/discount/HEALTHYMOTHERAlba Un-Petroleum JellyDr. Morgan's Pediatric Sickness CourseHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreDr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond | 1h 27m 11s | ||||||
| 9/16/26 | Birth Control & the War on Female Biology: How We Learned to Suppress the Menstrual Cycle | #182 | What happens when we stop viewing the menstrual cycle as an essential part of female biology and start treating it as something to suppress? In this episode, Dr. Leah Gordon and Dr. Morgan MacDermott take a deeper look at the history and culture surrounding hormonal birth control, how women came to view their cycles as inconvenient or problematic, and what can happen when symptoms like painful periods, PMS, acne, irregular cycles, or heavy bleeding are suppressed instead of investigated. They discuss the difference between contraception and treating the root cause of hormonal symptoms, fertility awareness and modern cycle tracking, potential side effects and risks of hormonal birth control, informed consent, fertility, and why individualized care matters. Most importantly, this isn't an argument that every woman should avoid birth control, it's a conversation about understanding your body, knowing your options, and making intentional decisions about your reproductive health.00:00 — Trailer & Introduction03:38 — The War on Female Biology07:05 — The History of Birth Control11:08 — Is Birth Control Fixing the Problem?13:58 — The Fire Alarm Analogy16:40 — Informed Consent & Birth Control19:21 — When Birth Control Has a Place24:22 — A Personal Experience With Birth Control30:21 — What Is “Woman Essence”?34:54 — Fertility Awareness vs. Birth Control40:10 — The Truth About the Rhythm Method41:58 — Public Health vs. Individualized Care44:42 — Can Birth Control Mask Fertility Problems?45:32 — The Potential Risks of Hormonal Birth Control47:46 — Depo-Provera & Emerging Safety Concerns49:09 — How Much Do We Really Know About Long-Term Risks?51:37 — Birth Control & Fertility: What We Know53:03 — Why Did Male Birth Control Studies Stop?53:59 — Birth Control, Responsibility & Choice56:09 — Feminism, Motherhood & the Modern Woman60:39 — Is Our Culture Designed for Mothers?63:15 — Know Your Why Before Taking Birth Control63:44 — Your Cycle Is a Vital Sign64:57 — What Real Reproductive Freedom Looks Like65:50 — Learning to Value the Female Cycle67:47 — Finding Joy in Your Womanhood71:09 — ClosingResources From This Episode:Download Dr. Leah's Free Fertility Lab Guide - https://drleahgordon.com/fertility-lab-guide-freebieJoin Womanhood Wellness membership - https://drleahgordon.com/joinPeriod as 5th Vital Sign - https://youtu.be/HIKr1R3iYKo?si=mLjYzAPYON15ArM0Preparing Body for Pregnancy After Birth Control - https://youtu.be/THaoCkFAxWk?si=787HpG-E06M4L5AqHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond | 1h 15m 22s | ||||||

| 7/1/26 | Hospital Transfer During Birth: Why It Happens, What to Expect & How to Stay Empowered | #171 | Planning a home birth or birth center birth? While most out-of-hospital births go as planned, hospital transfers are more common than many families realize. In this episode, we break down the most common reasons a transfer may happen before or during labor, including prolonged labor, maternal exhaustion, fetal positioning concerns, post-dates pregnancy, ruptured membranes, and more.We also discuss the emotional side of transfer, why it is not a failure, how to prepare mentally and practically for the possibility of a hospital birth, and ways to stay empowered if your birth plan changes. Whether you're planning an out-of-hospital birth or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable education, reassurance, and practical tools for navigating unexpected changes during birth.00:00 Trailer & Introduction02:21 Why Hospital Transfer Isn't Failure05:46 Letting Go of Guilt & Self-Blame11:49 Home Birth Transfer Statistics15:11 Most Common Reasons for Transfer16:54 Reasons You May Transfer Before Labor19:36 Going Past Your Due Date21:41 Fear of Hospital Births & COVID Experiences24:20 Why You Should Prepare for Transfer26:31 Low Fluid, Blood Pressure & Other Risks28:23 Breech Babies & Other Pregnancy Complications33:16 Reasons for Transfer During Labor33:45 Water Breaking Without Labor35:40 Stalled Labor & Baby Positioning37:35 Maternal Exhaustion & Pain Relief Requests41:56 Medical Complications During Labor43:20 Fetal Concerns & Meconium44:44 How to Mentally Handle a Transfer46:46 What Happens When You Arrive at the Hospital53:56 Practical Tips & Your Hospital Backup Plan55:59 Processing Your Birth Experience Afterwards58:13 Homeopathic Support for Fear & Shock58:46 Healing, Perspective & Birth Trauma59:39 Final ThoughtsOther Related Episodes:#32: The Vital Importance of Baby's Position During Birth with Ann Gilligan - https://open.spotify.com/episode/2IMXN6PmYDZBUcm78G3QeX?si=yNNZH5-sQDG3OaKeRlXD6A#40: The Wisdom in Waiting - https://open.spotify.com/episode/19MTWQjyEHl804m4UEcvT8?si=KuMgrblvSmy3HzQHKO9pGw#136: How The Hospital System Manipulates Moms with Dr. Stuart Fischbein MD - https://youtu.be/iKj69MpgmD0?si=ADEsze8RNtRCKkqO#168: Hospital Birth 101 Part 1 - https://youtu.be/8AohlC6Rc_E#169: Hospital Birth 101 Part 2 - https://youtu.be/Zracs5-cytEHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHMOTHER and save 10% at Ninni Co.Use code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond | 1h 05m 48s | ||||||
| 6/24/26 | Low Progesterone & Fertility: Luteal Phase Defects, Miscarriage Risk + Natural Hormone Support with Sophia Pavia | #170 | Progesterone is one of the most important hormones for fertility, healthy ovulation, and sustaining early pregnancy, yet so many women are never taught how it actually works.In this episode, Dr. Leah and Dr. Morgan sit down with fertility nutritionist Sophia Pavia to break down the truth about low progesterone, luteal phase defects, ovulation quality, and why so many women today are struggling with hormone imbalances, infertility, and pregnancy loss.We unpack how progesterone is made, why ovulation is essential for healthy hormone balance, what “unopposed estrogen” really means, and the signs your luteal phase may need support.

| 5/20/26 | Tongue Ties in Babies: Is Your Baby Just Tight or Truly Tied? with Lynnelle King | #165 | Tongue ties are one of the most misunderstood topics in infant feeding and airway health and many parents are left confused, dismissed, or unsure what to do next.In this episode, Dr. Morgan sits down with IBCLC and craniosacral therapist Lynnelle King to break down the difference between babies who are simply “tight” versus babies who are truly tongue tied, why oral function matters far beyond breastfeeding, and how ties can impact everything from milk transfer and nipple pain to palate development, breathing, sleep, and long-term airway health.They discuss common signs of oral ties, including clicking while nursing, blistered lips, white-coated tongues, poor milk transfer, gas, tension patterns, and recurring breastfeeding struggles. The conversation also dives into craniosacral therapy, fascial tension, healing after tie releases, timing of releases, and why individualized care matters so much for both mom and baby.This episode is packed with nuanced discussion for parents trying to decide whether bodywork alone is enough, when a release may actually be necessary, and how to better advocate for yourself if you feel something isn’t right with your baby’s feeding experience.00:00 Trailer + Intro00:42 Why Tongue Ties Matter02:55 Meet IBCLC Lynnelle King05:40 Finding Lactation Support Before Birth07:48 What Craniosacral Therapy Is11:04 Tight vs Tied Explained12:37 Are Tongue Ties More Common Today?14:00 Airway Health & Modern Facial Development15:38 Early Tongue Tie Releases17:03 Why Tie Releases Aren’t a Quick Fix18:44 Long-Term Effects of Tongue Ties21:06 Common Signs of Oral Ties22:24 High Palates & Airway Development25:10 Understanding Fascial Tension32:32 Can Bodywork Alone Fix Tongue Ties?35:22 Why Lynnelle Only Did Bodywork for 4 Years36:36 Are Tongue Tie Releases Harmful?37:50 Why Some Tie Releases “Don’t Work”41:35 How Tongue Tie Healing Actually Works44:47 How Providers Assess Tight vs Tied46:32 Best Timing for a Tongue Tie Release53:37 The Ideal Window for Treatment56:32 What Happens If You Wait Too Long58:29 Why Early Lactation Support Matters63:00 The Mental Health Impact of Feeding Struggles64:47 Trusting Your Mother’s Intuition65:28 Final Thoughts & ResourcesResources From This Episode:Breath by James NestorIntake Magnetic Airway StripsStrolling Under The Skin YouTube VideoLynnelle's team at Family SeasonsFollow Lynnelle on InstagramOther Related Episodes:Episode #12: A Deep Dive into Tongue and Lip TiesEpisode #133: Low Milk SupplyHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond | 1h 15m 50s | ||||||

| 5/6/26 | Birth Mindset for Unmedicated Birth: Practical Tips & What Actually Matters | #163 | Birth preparation is often focused on the physical side of labor, including breathing techniques, birth positions, and what to expect during delivery. But for many women planning an unmedicated birth, the biggest factor influencing their experience is not physical at all.In this episode, we explore birth mindset and how your mental and emotional state can impact labor, pain perception, and your overall birth experience. If you are preparing for an unmedicated birth, learning how to shift from control into surrender may be one of the most important skills you develop.We discuss how modern culture conditions women to fear birth and how those beliefs can show up during labor. We also explore why high-achieving and type-A women often struggle more during birth, not because they are unprepared, but because they are wired to rely on control in situations that require trust and surrender.You will learn how mindset influences the body’s natural ability to give birth, including the role of stress, fear, and the nervous system. We also introduce the concept of the "birth goddess" and explain how understanding the intuitive process of labor can completely change the birth experience.This episode also unpacks the balance between preparation and surrender, and how your environment, support system, and energy in the room can either support or disrupt labor.0:00 - Trailer and Introduction1:55 - Why Birth Mindset Is Overlooked3:00 - How Culture Creates Fear Around Birth5:00 - Birth Is Mental and Physical7:00 - Why We Fear Pain9:00 - The Missing Rite of Passage in Modern Birth11:00 - Birth as Transformation13:00 - Why Control Makes Birth Harder15:00 - The Birth Goddess Concept18:00 - Surrender vs Control21:00 - Preparation vs Surrender24:00 - Why Knowledge Still Matters27:00 - The Role of Your Support Team30:00 - What a Spiritual Epidural Means34:00 - How Environment Affects Labor38:00 - Why High Achievers Struggle More42:00 - Masculine and Feminine Energy in Labor46:00 - Trust and Letting Go50:00 - Rewiring Beliefs About Birth55:00 - Preparing for the Unexpected58:00 - Staying Grounded When Plans ChangeResources From This Episode:Dr. Morgan's Pregnancy Call LessonsHealthy As A Mother Epidurals EpisodeLabor Like A Goddess bookRent Tent book Healthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond | 1h 15m 17s | ||||||

In this episode, we break down what detox actually means in the body, why it matters for fertility, and how to approach it safely without creating more harm than good.You’ll learn how toxins impact hormones, ovulation, and pregnancy, and why your body’s ability to eliminate toxins matters more than simply “detoxing.”We also walk through the most important systems involved in detoxification including the liver, lymphatic system, and organs of elimination, plus the biggest mistakes people make when trying to detox while actively trying to conceive.If you’ve ever wondered whether you should detox before pregnancy, this episode gives you a clear, realistic framework.0:00 Trailer & Introduction 2:44 What Is a Toxin?
