As an OBGYN in an allopathic medical model, you’re doing incredible sacred work but constrained by rules, regulations, policies, and procedures that prevent us from prioritizing the people most matter.

Practicing home birth doctor, Stu Fischbein, MD joins me to talk about what informed consent should look like, the ridiculous number of C-sections being performed in the United States, how the midwifery model of care has been vilified, the increasing focus on fear around birth, and how practitioners can upskill so they can better support their clients. Stu is a rare breed, and I'm super grateful to bring this one to you. Enjoy the episode!
