This episode is part 1 of an interview all about gestational diabetes with registered dietitian and well-known author, Lily Nichols. We discuss the ins and outs of how pregnancy metabolism changes insulin function and levels, and what happens when this process results in elevated blood sugar levels over time. We discuss risk factors for developing gestational diabetes, prevention, early screening that should be taking place but is not, lab lists, the risks to the baby if the mom's blood sugar continues to stay elevated, and the problems with certain testing methods. We also go on an all-too-important rant about vitamin D3 supplementation that you'll not want to miss. Be sure to check out part 2 next week as well - and now let's jump in!

A man's fertility plays 50% of the role in conception and staying pregnant (yes, sperm issues can affect miscarriage too) yet there is so little support out there on how to evaluate male fertility. This is why we recorded today's episode, which are the top 10 tips on testing male fertility. We dive into how to test and when, the semen analysis, testing hormones, other markers, and so much more. This is an episode every woman, couple, and man should listen to who wants to be a parent someday.

In this episode, Dr. Leah interviews Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, author of The Fifth Vital Sign and co-author of Real Food for Fertility. They talk all about our monthly cycles, how they are considered our fifth vital sign, and how we can use them as a form of birth control, before and even after pregnancy. We also discuss how cycle tracking and the fertility awareness method is a great choice to prevent pregnancy and help you conceive when you are ready, without the side effects or transition time of hormonal contraceptives.

Induction of labor is an increasingly more and more common birth intervention that many women experience today. There are several medically indicated reasons for induction, as well as many situations where women may be offered or even coerced into induction - where there isn't beneficial evidence to back it up. This week on the podcast Dr. Morgan got to interview Dr. Rebecca Dekker of the well-known blog and podcast called Evidence Based Birth, all about various aspects of labor induction. We discuss the Arrive trial, big babies, risks for postpartum hemorrhage, the evidence on eating and drinking, and more. Enjoy!
