The NaturalBirth Talk
Many women desire to reconnect with their body and natural instincts through the entire perinatal period, including natural birth. Unfortunately, the American culture (and most mainstream cultures) do not teach young women about any natural ways to care for their bodies and, in fact, teach that the body and childbirth cannot be trusted. In this podcast by Rachel Mans, Doula and The NaturalBirth Site, co-hosted by Tiffany Muniz, we explore all aspects of natural, physiological birth, as well as natural pregnancy and early postpartum. Our topics are inspired by a range of evidence, the wisdom of our ancestors, and traditional cultures. Many topics will help you to trust your body, your baby, and all of the wise women who birthed before you. We will talk with midwives, doulas, chiropractors, health professionals, and anyone else involved in birth work. The goal is to help you become educated and trust the birthing process so you can have the most empowering, educated, and beautiful pregnancy, birth, & postpartum possible!

Carbs, Proteins, Fats, AND Enzymes with Dr. Jeanne Sandheinrich, DC, CACCP
Nutrition and proper diet are often a second thought for most people when it comes to health, including pregnant women. But Dr. Jeanne and I discuss the importance of healthy food intake, specifically addressing carbohydrates, proteins, fats, enzymes, AND the role stress plays in absorbing and using these nutrients.
- Don't be afraid of good Carbs or Fats, and eat LOTS of protein!
- Stress affects our digestion, so often enzymes are required so our bodies can use the macro-nutrients properly.
- We chat about the role each macro-nutrient plays in pregnancy and why they are all SO important. Examples include:
- Fats help your gallbladder and breastmilk production
- Carbohydrates give you energy
- Protein helps prevent pre-eclampsia and other pregnancy problems
- We share lots of little personal stories about our and our clients' experiences with healthy eating changes.
