In this episode of The Gossip, Sam (OT) and Mia (birth coach) dive into planning for pregnancy with a grounded, evidence-informed lens. They explore the often-overlooked role of men in conception and placental health, unpack the importance of preconception supplements — including probiotics and their potential influence on GBS — and discuss how nutrients like folic acid may intersect with concerns such as tongue ties.
The conversation also covers understanding cervical mucus as a sign of ovulation and learning to trust your body’s innate rhythms. Woven throughout is a candid reflection on self-regulation in real time — as both hosts navigated recording after a night of poor sleep — modelling the nervous system awareness they encourage in others. This episode is a thoughtful blend of science, embodiment, and practical guidance for those preparing to conceive.
