In this Podcast, Dr. Ghadir speaks with birth doula and owner of clean skincare company C & The Moon, Carson Meyer. Carson explains the many roles a birth doula fills for expectant parents, with so much of her work happening before conception. Dr. Ghadir and Carson explore the many ways a doula can help intended parents with fertility and increase chances of pregnancy through various practices and support. Carson also explains how nutrition, environmental factors (such as the dangers of endocrine disruptors), mindfulness, and self-care play a role before, during, and after pregnancy.

Carson Meyer is a certified birth doula and birth photographer from Malibu, California. She graduated from New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study where she pursued studies in child development, art therapy, and holistic health. In 2016 Carson returned to Los Angeles and began her journey as a doula. She has been dedicated to supporting parents through a healthy and peaceful pregnancy, birth and postpartum period ever since.  With a passion for environmental health, Carson recently launched an all natural and sustainable skincare line called C & The Moon, founded on the belief that the way we care for ourselves has a direct impact on how we care for the planet. She is proud to serve as a co-chair on the NRDC Leadership Council.
