June 01, 2023 22:00 - 41 minutes - 28.9 MB

There is a lot to think about when finding support for your baby’s birth. The first thing to understand is the different roles that people play in a birth setting.

We sat down with Stephanie Heintzeler, a German educated midwife and acupuncturist as well as US-educated doula and Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). She is the founder of the New York Baby where she puts expecting parents/mothers in touch with...

How To Breastfeed Optimally For You & Your Baby

May 25, 2023 19:00 - 39 minutes - 27 MB

In our society today, we don’t quite learn how to breastfeed by observation as we once did in the past. You might think that it is completely natural for you and your baby, which it is to some extent. However, without coming into contact with the techniques involved with breastfeeding, it can truly be a foreign concept to most of modern society. And the unknown can often be scary! This is why it’s always beneficial to take a breastfeeding class prior to giving birth. LaShanda Dandrich, an I...

May 04, 2023 21:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MB

The Principles of Ayurveda: Preconception to Generational Longevity

April 27, 2023 13:00 - 47 minutes - 32.5 MB

Ayurveda is an age-old tradition originating from India around the 2nd millennium BCE (a very very long time ago!). “Ayur” in Sanskrit means “Life” and “Veda” means “Science” or “Knowledge”. The Vedas, or Hindu scriptures, are one of the oldest pieces of text on the planet that contain scientific knowledge that is gradually only now being proven by modern empirical methods. Ayurveda is a practice that is deeply studied by scholars, scientists, and practitioners today and is rooted in the spi...

Birth Justice & Advocating for the Birthing Parent

April 20, 2023 16:00 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MB

What is birth justice anyway? Sometimes it might feel like there are too many voices in that room and the birthing individual’s wants and needs aren’t heard.

March 30, 2023 10:00 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MB

Here’s a bold statement. Dancers, while extremely great at moving their bodies, sometimes don’t actually know how to do it optimally. Getting injured on and off the stage is not uncommon for dancers.

March 16, 2023 10:00 - 37 minutes - 25.6 MB

March 02, 2023 11:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MB

The process of preparing for birth, giving birth, and recovering can be described in many ways. Some might say incredible, others might say life changing, and still others might say horrific.

Trauma-Informed Care: You Are Not Broken

November 10, 2022 11:00 - 31 minutes - 21.6 MB

There are different ways of looking at trauma, or the harm you have experienced in your life (physically, mentally, and/or emotionally). Sometimes it can feel like a long and daunting road to overcome this trauma, or various microtraumas, to live a fulfilling life. But what if we could shift our mental framework around trauma to serve us better? Instead of “overcoming” it, we could instead “understand” and “integrate” it. What if we were to step away from the concept of needing to “repair” o...

Healing is a Relational Process: Insights from Psychology and Neuroscience

November 03, 2022 10:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MB

It’s not just about knowing exactly what the diagnosis is, what treatment to provide, or in what dosage. In order to optimize a patient’s health, we must go beyond that. Whether you are a medical doctor, physical therapist, acupuncturist, or any other clinician that offers care to patients, there is a deeper level to patient centered care that involves mindset, communication and empathy. By becoming cognizant of this as healthcare practitioners, we can not only serve our patients better, but...

The Business of Peace: Healing from Trauma and Promoting Nonviolence

October 06, 2022 10:00 - 42 minutes - 29.6 MB

It’s true. A bomb sets off, school children get shot, and an innocent man is murdered, and THEN we all rally to fight for justice. But we don’t always think of how we can prevent violent actions from happening in the first place, let alone invest time or money to get to the bottom of solving these issues. To commemorate Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday this week, Mandar Apte joins us to tackle these tough conversations.   Mandar is a former chemical engineer and Shell executive who started off he...

After a bit of a break, we resume season 6 on our podcast on Fit As A Fiddle! Today I give you a deep dive into some of the raw conversations I have with my patients regarding expectations from physical therapy, how movement (of some kind) is ALWAYS the answer, why it’s important to know the why behind what you are given to do during your course of care, and… “negative space.” Negative space is the time you don’t think you have, but it literally pops out of thin air when you start paying at...

June 09, 2022 11:00 - 46 minutes - 32 MB

When you don’t have the answers from trusted sources, or the answers seem to conflict, you often turn to Dr. Google and social media for advice.

Instead, we can draw from ancient cultures that often have almost the same advice: trust your intuition and evidence based research (what tends to work!).  That’s exactly what we do on this show with Dr. Patricia Ladis, PT, CBBA, a licensed ...

May 12, 2022 14:00 - 52 minutes - 35.8 MB

While it’s easy for some of our listeners to understand that there is inherent social injustice in the public school system in America, it is still a topic that is fraught with intense political, economical and ethical conversation.

Phoebe: Supporting Mothers From Conception to Work-Life Balance

April 28, 2022 10:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MB

The last 2 years shed light on how lack of childcare acutely hurt working mothers. It showed there is no gender equality. It showed that 2 million women left the workforce. But none of this is new.  The US has policies that do not support working mothers. We have no universal childcare, and women still do most of the physical and mental work of parenting. Half of the gender pay gap is due to motherhood. Fathers still get a pay bonus while 1/3 of US births result in trauma and 1/4 of women e...

What Is Yoga Anyway?

March 03, 2022 11:00 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MB

If you think it’s a workout, well my dear, it most certainly is not. And the reason you might think so is because of the misuse of the word in the money-making Western world. Yoga is a broad term that originates from the Indian spiritual tradition well before 1000 BC that simply cannot be boiled down to a paragraph or even a book, let alone a word. The ancient Hindu texts written in Sanskrit and archeological evidence from South Asia suggests that our ancestors have been practicing aspects o...

February 10, 2022 11:00 - 35 minutes - 24.4 MB
