It's time for part 2 with Dr. Nathan Riley, the "Holistic OB/GYN," who helps us explore alternative or "unconventional" approaches to fertility, pregnancy and birth that provide greater autonomy AND support for women, their partners and (future) children.

(If you missed our last episode with Dr Riley from 12/2022, you can listen HERE. That episode reviews the flaws of our current medical system - from Dr Riley's perspective as an OB/GYN, having spent years working in hospitals, tending to women's health issues and delivering over 1000 babies).

IN THIS PART II CONVERSATION WE DISCUSS:

And finally, we talk about Nathan’s incredible new course the “born free method” - which you can check out at bornfreemethod.com. It’s a 12 month mastermind for soon to be parents who want to feel empowered, confident and informed about their pregnancy and childbirth journey (with an emphasis on home births). >> USE CODE "SOLO10" for 10% off the Born Free Method Course

MORE ABOUT DR RILEY

Dr Riley is a board-certified OB-GYN and fellow of ACOG who left the medical industrial complex due to his disillusionment with the “standard of care” within the conventional maternity care model. This was hard because “going with the flow” of hospital-based practice was providing him financial security. On the other hand, standing in his truth from having sat with over 1000 births and connecting with women and their families has provided him a lifestyle more in alignment with fatherhood, deepening his connection with his wife, and caring for people in the way that he had anticipated long before stepping into practice.

Dr. Riley now focuses his time on upholding the traditional practice of midwifery. He supports midwives as a collaborative physician in over twenty states. He is an advocate for home birth and still attends births for those in need. He boasts a c-section rate of <5%, which is one of the best in the U.S. 

Dr. Riley is the father of two, the second of whom was born at home, and he is proudly married to his highschool sweetheart.
