Unlike conventional medicine, which largely follows a standardized educational framework, functional medicine focuses on understanding each person and creating a treatment plan to meet their specific needs. Another key feature of functional medicine is its proactive approach; it aims to address general complaints before they escalate into crises. Throughout this conversation, you will discover how functional medicine can be beneficial before, during, and after pregnancy as well.About Sarah ThompsonSarah Thompson...2024-11-271h 42Birthing InstinctsBirthing Instincts#387 High Risk - What Does It Really Mean?Obstetricians regularly use terms like high risk, safer, evidence based and standard of care as if they all have an agreed upon definition. THEY DON'T! Today Blyss & Dr. Stu discuss the use and misuse of language and the corruption of definitions in the maternity care world. What or who determines the standard of care? Are labels of high risk indicative of high risk? Who should determine what safe means? We offer some explanations and strong opinions, shockingly, as to the motivation behind the manipulation of these terms and suggest alternative definitions that we think just makes more sense.2024-11-131h 30YOUR BIRTH, GOD’S WAY -  Christian Pregnancy, Natural Birth, Postpartum, Breastfeeding HelpYOUR BIRTH, GOD’S WAY - Christian Pregnancy, Natural Birth, Postpartum, Breastfeeding HelpEP 117 \ Breech Birth with Dr. Stuart Fischbein - Part 3: Obstetrical Expertise, What Would Happen if Modern Obstetrics Went Away, Twins, Safety, and MORE!Show Notes: Today's show is the conclusion of my follow up interview with Dr. Stuart Fischbein.  I brought him back on to talk about vaginal breech birth and how it came to be the normal policy to deliver all breech babies by c-section.  As usual, the conversation with him is full and rich and covers so much more than just breech.  In this final section of our interview you will learn about: Are obstetricians really experts?
