In this episode of The Right Room, Hilary Phelps welcomes Morad Fareed — the first (and only) male guest ever featured on the podcast. Morad, co-founder of FC Mother, shares how his work is reshaping maternal health by placing the wellness of mothers — from which every one of us comes — at the center of public health, community, and generational well-being.

Through groundbreaking research, FC Mother is revealing one staggering truth: 80% of chronic health issues in mothers can be traced back to lack of social support. It’s a statistic that’s both unbelievable and deeply solvable — and yet, it’s rarely addressed.

This episode dives into how we can close that gap: by quantifying the life years lost due to unhealthy pregnancies, addressing cultural blind spots, and building community systems that ensure mothers don’t have to heal or thrive alone.

Takeaways:

• Morad Fareed is the first male guest ever on The Right Room.
• 80% of chronic health issues in mothers are linked to lack of social support — a solvable crisis that demands action.
• Social connection and community care are as vital as medical care in maternal outcomes.
• FC Mother is quantifying life years lost due to unhealthy pregnancies to drive funding and policy change.
• Maternal health must move from the margins to the center of public health conversations.
• Community and collective care can transform outcomes for families and generations.
• It’s time to build a new playbook for how we support mothers.

Sound Bites:

• “We need to honor our creators.”
• “Mothers are the most powerful humans.”
• “You’re the first male on The Right Room.”
• “Eighty percent of chronic health issues in mothers stem from lack of support — and we can change that.”
