Episode 11 of my "birth series" is here, where I will be highlighting topics surrounding birth, from drugs used during births, to different birthing practices that tend to happen in the new "medical birth model," I am going to break down those topics.

In this episode I cover prenatal nutrition.  Rather discussing the conventional prenatal nutritional diets, we discuss REAL foods for pregnancy and how to get adequate nutritional needs just from food sources.

Earlier this year, I was joined by my dear friend Adrianna to discuss birth control in detail.  We received so much feedback from SO many other women out there that are struggling either on, or off birth control and the side effects that are related to it.  

This topic is clearly a topic that is necessary to talk about so we are back with part two! 

In this weeks episode, we discuss in more detail post birth control syndrome, PCOS and how to advocate for yourself.

11.5 million women are on the birth control pill.

Do you think the millions of women on birth control are TRULY informed on what exactly it is they're taking and how it is effecting their life and their future.

Not only does Adrianna have a very powerful story to share, but she has done incredible research on birth control that she is here to share with everyone.

This is another VERY important episode, and female AND males should all listen to this.

Episode 10 of my "birth series" is here, where I will be highlighting topics surrounding birth, from drugs used during births, to different birthing practices that tend to happen in the new "medical birth model," I am going to break down those topics.

In this episode I men and their fertility.  Did you know that men sperm count has dropped almost 60% since 1973? We spend so much time talking about women and what they need to do to be fertile and conceive and birth a child, but we rarely focus on the mens role with their fertility.  This week we are spending a lot of time talking about men and fertility, especially toxic ingredients including PFAS.

In this weeks episode of our birth series it is my complete honor to have Eyla Cuenca as a guest on the show to share her immense knowledge on the birth space.  She is truly inspiring and is changing lives and has so much to bring to not only this episode, but this podcast.

A little bit about Eyla:

Eyla Cuenca is a holistic birth guide (a term she coined already a decade ago), She is also Childbirth Educator, Lactation Counselor, health freedom advocate and mother. 

She holds a BA in Anthropology from Bennington College, and trained with AAHCC founded by Robert A. Bradley, MD where she became specialized as a Birth Educator. Her work as a Guardian Ad Litem for the 11th Judicial Circuit and attending births as a Doula in both hospital and home settings brought her into health freedom and advocacy work.  She stands behind the idea that it is everyone’s right to have access to empowering education from conception to parenting. Her work is dedicated to offering guidance that supports women and men in the process that is a return to their deepest knowing about birth, individual sovereignty, and the body’s innate intelligence. 

“A conscious birth, builds a conscious world”

She offers 1-1 guidance sessions to assist women and couples at any point in their journey, from conscious conception to processing births years later. She also offers her signature childbirth education program, Uncovering Birth, as well as Doula trainings, and Placenta Encapsulation.

This week is it my complete honor to have one of my best friends, Leanne Nicley, on as a guest of the show.

In this weeks episode, I chatted with Leanne about a treatment that made a huge impact on her husband's mental health and how that treatment has led to forming their own non-profit.

Officers Off Duty is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on mental health awareness and financial support for treatment for active and retired Law Enforcement Officers (LEO), Military personnel, Firefighters, and their families.  This organization was founded by a LEO and his wife who had a real, positive experience with a depression/anxiety treatment called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and have a passion for helping others.  Our goal is to educate, empower and provide.

I truly in my heart and soul did not want to skip any weeks of this show, regardless of what goes on in my life.  But as I sit here, trying to record episodes for you guys, I felt inauthentic, I felt like a robot and I didn't feel fully present.  I do not feel this is serving you guys and your time, and I feel this is doing the topic at hand a disservice.  Therefore I have made the difficult decision to take a two week break this week and next week as I am off getting MARRIED.

Thank you all so much for your love and patience. 

Next time you hear from me, I will be Brooke Bacci!
