Hormone Puzzle Podcast: Fertility, Hormones, & Women's Health

Because getting pregnant is only half the battle, staying pregnant is the other half. For this season, we've decided to add a special episode every month dedicated about how to have a healthy happy pregnancy, birth and postpartum. If you are still in the process of fighting infertility and you feel triggered by this episode, please skip it until you are ready.

Episode #276 of The Hormone P.U.Z.Z.L.E Podcast is a special episode where our guest speaker Katelyn Fusco talks about Homebirth Preparation.

Each month one episode is dedicated for pregnant women to teach them how to have a healthy happy pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Katelyn Fusco is a homebirth mother, a childbirth educator, and an experienced homebirth attendant. She has seen birth from many angles (literally), and knows the impact this transformative event can have on you, your baby and your entrance into motherhood for the first, second or fifteenth time. This knowledge is what spurred Katelyn to create Happy Homebirth: A brand dedicated to supporting, educating and encouraging homebirth mothers. Through birth stories and expert interviews on the podcast to intimate education and coaching inside of her childbirth education programs, Katelyn's goal is to provide mothers with the tools to empower themselves in their birthing experience.

In episode #269 of The Hormone P.U.Z.Z.L.E Podcast, our guest Susan Salenger talks about How Not to Be Sidelined When It Comes to Your Health When TTC.

More about Susan:

Susan Salenger is the author and researcher behind SIDELINED: How Women Can Navigate A Broken Healthcare System. Sidelined examines the many ways in which some women manage and sometimes mismanage their healthcare.

Susan explores how women, typically the medical gatekeepers for their families, tend to be extremely conscientious about taking care of themselves, yet at the same time inadvertently undermine their own care. They often hesitate to call the doctor when they don't feel well and worry that their doctor visit will take time away from their families or work. They may hesitate to ask doctors the necessary questions and don't always comply with the doctor's instructions. Salenger's research reveals how conflicted many women are about the medical decisions they ultimately make.
