What most moms are eating after birth is actually making recovery harder.

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with postpartum chef Alana Speed to unpack one of the most overlooked pieces of postpartum recovery: nourishment. From surviving on snacks and skipping meals to the pressure to “bounce back,” this conversation challenges the modern approach to postpartum and reveals why so many moms feel depleted, exhausted, and unsupported.

Alana shares her experience working directly with postpartum women and explains why eating enough, especially in those first 40 days, can make or break recovery. Together, they explore the role of warm, nutrient-dense foods, the impact of stress on milk supply and healing, and why the cultural loss of postpartum care is leaving women to struggle through one of the most demanding seasons of life.

✨ Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ Why most moms are under-eating postpartum

✔️ The connection between calories, milk supply, and recovery

✔️ Why stress may be more harmful than specific foods

✔️ The problem with cutting out foods like dairy or gluten too soon

✔️ What traditional cultures get right about the first 40 days

✔️ The role of warm, easy-to-digest meals in healing

✔️ Why “bouncing back” can do more harm than good

✔️ Simple ways to prepare meals before baby arrives

✔️ How to build community support during postpartum

✔️ What an ideal postpartum experience could actually look like

🧠 More About This Episode:

Alana Speed is a postpartum chef based in the DFW area who specializes in preparing nutrient-dense, supportive meals for mothers during the first weeks after birth. With a background in health coaching and a deep focus on women’s health, her work is centered on helping moms recover physically, emotionally, and nutritionally during one of the most critical windows of their lives.

This episode reframes postpartum entirely. Instead of something to “get through,” it becomes a season that requires intentional care, nourishment, and support. For moms who feel depleted, overwhelmed, or unsure how to properly recover, this conversation offers both clarity and practical direction.

What if your exhaustion isn’t just part of motherhood… but a sign your body is asking for help?

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Kristen Files, adrenal expert and founder of Forest Creek Wellness, to unpack what’s really behind the constant fatigue so many moms are experiencing. From “mom burnout” to brain fog, low motivation, and that feeling of being only half yourself, this conversation challenges the idea that exhaustion is just something you have to push through.

Kristen shares her own story of severe burnout and recovery, and explains how what we often label as emotional or mental overwhelm may actually be rooted in physical imbalances, especially within the body’s stress response system. Together, they explore how modern life, blood sugar swings, lack of rest, and constant low-level stress are quietly draining women’s energy, and what can actually be done to rebuild it.

✨ Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ The difference between “normal tired” and true burnout

✔️ What adrenal dysfunction (HPA axis dysregulation) actually is

✔️ Why you might feel like a “half version” of yourself

✔️ The connection between blood sugar, cortisol, and energy crashes

✔️ How burnout is often misdiagnosed as depression or anxiety

✔️ Why coffee, sugar, and quick fixes can make things worse

✔️ The role of protein, minerals, and whole foods in recovery

✔️ Why walking and nervous system regulation matter more than intense workouts

✔️ The hidden impact of isolation and lack of community on moms

✔️ Why some restrictive diets may harm women long-term

🧠 More About This Episode:

Kristen Files is a nutritional therapy practitioner and adrenal health specialist who helps women uncover the root causes of fatigue, hormone imbalance, and burnout. After experiencing severe exhaustion during her own years of motherhood, she dedicated her work to helping others restore their energy through targeted nutrition, lifestyle changes, and functional testing. Through her practice, Forest Creek Wellness, she works with women to rebuild resilience and move from survival mode back to true vitality.

This episode reframes burnout entirely. Instead of something to push through or “manage,” it may be a signal from the body that something deeper needs attention. For moms who feel constantly exhausted, overwhelmed, or unlike themselves, this conversation offers both clarity and a path forward.

What if everything you’ve been told about pork being “unclean” is missing the bigger picture?

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Charles Mayfield of Farrow Skincare to unpack one of the most misunderstood foods in the modern health space. From viral claims about pork being toxic to long-standing religious and cultural beliefs, this conversation digs into where those ideas came from and whether they actually hold up. Charles brings a rare perspective as someone who has raised pigs, studied their history, and built a business around their benefits, both nutritionally and even for skin health.

Together, they explore what makes pork truly nourishing, what went wrong in the modern food system, and how to think more clearly about the meat you’re feeding your family.

✨ Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ Is pork actually bad for you, or just poorly raised today?

✔️ The real difference between pasture-raised pork and grocery store pork

✔️ Why pigs have been a foundational food source throughout human history

✔️ The truth about parasites, toxins, and “dirty meat” claims

✔️ How modern farming practices changed the quality of pork

✔️ Why our ancestors relied heavily on pork for survival and nourishment

✔️ Proper ways to prepare pork, from curing to cooking

✔️ The surprising role pigs have played in medicine, exploration, and civilization

✔️ Breaking down labels like “organic,” “humanely raised,” and “vegetarian-fed”

He is the founder of Farrow Skincare, an animal fat-based skincare brand that launched following his unique experience as a regenerative farmer and health enthusiast. Through his work, Charles has become a strong voice in the movement to restore traditional food systems, challenge modern health narratives, and reconnect families with truly nourishing sources of food. This episode challenges common assumptions and invites listeners to rethink what “clean” food really means, and how much of what we believe is shaped by modern systems rather than ancestral wisdom.

What happens when a mother is told there may be no hope for her child, and starts looking beyond modern medicine for answers?

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Bethany Van Der Harst of Van Der Harst Homestead to talk about trauma, chronic illness, nervous system dysregulation, and the long road of healing. Bethany shares her family’s extraordinary story after her son survived a self-inflicted gunshot wound, lost his sight, later battled COVID, bacterial meningitis, and sepsis, and faced severe neurological and memory challenges that left doctors with few clear answers.

Bethany explains how that journey led her deep into the world of microbiome restoration, nervous system support, ancestral nutrition, sunlight, grounding, rhythm, and what she calls the Ancestral Regeneration Protocol. She shares why she believes so many modern health struggles are rooted in a profound disconnection from nature, and why healing often begins by making the body feel safe again.

They explore how these ideas apply not only to severe illness, but also to modern motherhood, family rhythms, emotional regulation, and the everyday ways women and children are being shaped by the pace and pressures of modern life.

📚 Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ Bethany Van Der Harst’s story of walking her son through devastating trauma and complex illness

✔️ What happened after her son lost his sight and later developed major neurological symptoms

✔️ How COVID, bacterial meningitis, and sepsis affected his health and recovery

✔️ The connection between the microbiome, nervous system, and chronic symptoms

✔️ What dysautonomia, POTS, mast cell activation, and chronic fatigue can look like

✔️ Why Bethany believes many modern illnesses are rooted in disconnection from nature

✔️ The nutritional strategies she used, including meat stock, ferments, and cultured dairy

✔️ What “die-off” can look like when changing the microbiome

✔️ How sunlight, grounding, rhythm, reverence, and rest support healing

✔️ Bethany’s Ancestral Regeneration Protocol and why she offers it freely to others

🧠 More About This Episode: Bethany Van Der Harst is the founder of Van Der Harst Homestead and the creator of the Ancestral Regeneration Protocol, a free resource and support community focused on helping people rebuild health through ancestral nutrition, nervous system support, and reconnection with nature.

This episode is especially for mothers walking through chronic illness, parents caring for children with complex needs, and anyone who has been told that healing is unlikely or impossible. Bethany’s story is a reminder that even when the road is long, the body was made to move toward repair when given the right support.

What happens when a doctor raises ethical concerns about a medical policy and loses his job?

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with bioethicist and physician Dr. Aaron Kheriaty to discuss what happened after he challenged COVID vaccine mandates at his university. What began as a debate about workplace policy quickly became a national conversation about medical ethics, informed consent, and the role of public institutions during a public health crisis.

Dr. Kheriaty shares the story of his dismissal from the University of California system after refusing the COVID vaccine mandate on medical and ethical grounds. Drawing from his experience as a psychiatrist and bioethics scholar, he explains why he believed the mandate raised serious concerns about medical autonomy, natural immunity, and the doctor–patient relationship.

This conversation is not about telling people what medical decisions they should make. It is about examining the ethical framework behind modern medicine. What should informed consent actually look like? What role should institutions play in personal medical decisions? And what lessons should we carry forward from the COVID era?

Corey and Christine explore how these questions affect families, parents, and anyone trying to navigate a healthcare system that often feels complex and difficult to question.

📚 Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ Dr. Aaron Kheriaty’s story of being fired after challenging a vaccine mandate

✔️ The role of informed consent in modern medicine

✔️ Why natural immunity became a controversial topic during COVID

✔️ How public health policies are developed and enforced

✔️ The ethical questions surrounding medical mandates

✔️ The relationship between physicians, institutions, and patient autonomy

✔️ Why some doctors spoke out during the pandemic

✔️ How the COVID era reshaped public trust in medicine

✔️ What families should consider when navigating medical decisions

✔️ The broader conversation about medical freedom and responsibility

🧠 More About This Episode:

Dr. Aaron Kheriaty is a physician, psychiatrist, and medical ethicist who previously served as Director of the Medical Ethics Program at the University of California, Irvine. During the COVID pandemic, he challenged the university’s vaccine mandate policy and was ultimately dismissed from his position.

His experience sparked a broader discussion about medical mandates, natural immunity, and the balance between public health policy and individual rights. Dr. Kheriaty now continues to write and speak about medical ethics, institutional power, and the lessons learned from the COVID era.

Whether you are a parent making decisions for your family, someone interested in medical ethics, or simply trying to better understand the debates that emerged during the pandemic, this episode offers thoughtful perspective on a complicated moment in recent history.

What if the symptoms people experience when trying to stop psychiatric medications are not a relapse of mental illness at all, but withdrawal?

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Nicole Lamberson and Lynn Cunningham from the film Medicatinɡ Normal to talk about a hidden reality affecting millions of people: psychiatric drug dependence and withdrawal. What begins as a prescription for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, or postpartum struggles can quietly become something much harder to leave behind.

Join our Patreon community for ad-free episodes, early access, and bonus conversations with guests. https://www.patreon.com/c/ModernAncestralMamas

Nicole and Lynn share their personal stories of being prescribed psychiatric medications, the severe withdrawal symptoms they experienced when trying to stop, and why so many patients discover too late that coming off these drugs can be far more complicated than they were told. They also explain how withdrawal symptoms can mimic mental illness, which often leads doctors to increase medications rather than recognize what is happening.

This conversation is not about shaming medication or telling people what choices they should make. It is about informed consent. What should patients actually know before starting psychiatric drugs? Why is tapering off them so difficult for some people? And what questions should families ask before beginning treatment?

If you or someone you love has ever been prescribed antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, ADHD drugs, or sleep medications, this episode sheds light on a conversation that is only just beginning to reach the public.

📚 Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ The real experiences behind the documentary Medicatinɡ Normal

✔️ How psychiatric medications are commonly prescribed and why many people stay on them long term

✔️ Why withdrawal symptoms are often mistaken for a return of mental illness

✔️ What patients are rarely told about dependence and tapering

✔️ How quickly medications can become difficult to stop

✔️ The difference between relapse and withdrawal symptoms

✔️ Why medical training often does not include clear tapering protocols

✔️ The emotional and physical toll withdrawal can take on individuals and families

✔️ What informed consent should look like before starting psychiatric drugs

✔️ Why this issue is affecting more people than most realize

🧠 More About This Episode:

Nicole Lamberson and Lynn Cunningham are patient advocates featured in the documentary Medicatinɡ Normal (https://medicatingnormal.com), a film that explores the growing issue of psychiatric drug injury, dependence, and withdrawal. Through their advocacy work, they aim to raise awareness about the importance of informed consent and to support individuals navigating psychiatric medication withdrawal.

The film brings together patients, doctors, and researchers to examine how psychiatric medications are prescribed, why withdrawal can be so severe for some people, and what changes may be needed in the medical system to better support patients.

Whether you are someone who has taken psychiatric medication, a parent trying to make informed decisions for your family, or simply someone interested in understanding this complex topic more clearly, this episode offers perspective and an important starting point for the conversation.

What if childhood eczema isn’t a skin problem at all, but the body’s first warning sign that something deeper is off?

In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with holistic pediatrician Dr. Ana-Marie Temple (https://www.dranamaria.com/) to unpack what’s really driving the dramatic rise in childhood eczema. From early antibiotic exposure and gut disruption to food sensitivities, stress, and the cycle of topical steroids, this conversation reframes eczema as a whole-body issue rather than something to simply “manage” on the surface.

Dr. Temple shares her journey as a traditionally trained pediatrician who changed the way she practiced medicine after watching her own children struggle with chronic illness. Together, Corey, Christine, and Dr. Temple explore why so many parents feel dismissed, why “they’ll grow out of it” can be a dangerous narrative, and what it actually looks like to support healing from the inside out without chasing every new remedy or playing “eczema whack-a-mole.”

📚 Topics Covered in This Episode:

✔️ Why eczema is often the first sign of deeper inflammation

✔️ The connection between antibiotics, reflux meds, and eczema in babies

✔️ How gut health, food sensitivities, and sugar impact skin

✔️ Why topical steroids work fast but often don’t resolve the root issue
