The moms are joined by Dr. Kalstein, a licensed naturopathic doctor and mom-favorite holistic health expert, for a deep dive into natural medicine, starting with the difference between naturopathic, integrative, and allopathic medicine, and why so many are looking beyond the prescription pad for root-cause therapy for hormones, energy, anxiety, and burnout. Plus—Dr. Kalstein shares insight on ketamine therapy, its growing role in mental health treatment, and how it can fit into a holistic plan. 

For our moms juggling family, hormones, and questions about health options, we’ve got a must-listen.

On this episode with Instinctual Mothering’s Andrea, the Truth Moms squad explores the history behind predatory formula marketing and the constant maternal pressure around feeding your baby. How does the intricate web of advertising tactics used by formula brands shape parenting choices? Second-guessing comes with motherhood, because let’s face it—it can’t be taught in a book**—**or a pamphlet. We all agree “fed is best,” but where does that term stem from, and what exactly was the original intent behind the message? The moms explore the history of formula and pediatrics, popular formula brands’ war on breastfeeding, why formula milk marketing might actually place more pressure on mothers, and how community—not shame, blame, or any advertising game—can help you make the best choice for your baby. Trust your gut—you’re going to want to tune into this one.

Truth Moms dive deeper into the world of functional medicine with friend and lifestyle coach Sheeva Rouhanifard Stephens, who through her unique root cause and holistic approach to lifestyle health for both body and brain goes beyond conventional methods, and is transforming lives. 

The secret sauce to her success is creating personalized care that considers individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle. Her tailored training programs aim at empowering clients with knowledge and tools to maintain a balanced lifestyle. Sheeva explains from her own experience wellness is not a one-size fits all program, no matter what your favorite influencer says.

They deep dive on why the integration of genetics into patient care can be leveraged to improve health outcomes, from uncovering hidden risks to tailoring treatment plans. Dr. Chad and his colleagues are revolutionizing medicine through one simple idea: using your genetic makeup as a blueprint for your health, because standardized care needs a more personalized approach.

Spring forward with a new season of Truth Moms. School might be out this week, but the Moms are BACK. Before we get in deep with guests and gossip, Brit & Court recap what they’ve been up to since the first season. A small sabbatical for some big events, so postPARDON the interruption. Let’s get into birth stories, life lessons, organized chaos, and as always, truths. 

In this episode, Courtney sits down with Brittainy to dive into the art of finding your “scrunchy squad”—a group of like-minded moms who share your values, quirks, and parenting vibes. 

They share tips on how to break the ice, build genuine connections, and navigate the world of “mom dating” without the awkwardness. From striking up conversations at the park to figuring out if someone shares your take on holistic living and parenting, this episode is all about finding your tribe and creating a support system that truly gets you. 

Whether you’re new to motherhood or just looking to expand your circle, this chat is packed with relatable stories, practical advice, and lots of laughs. Don’t miss it!

Court and Brit discuss parenting styles and discover they may not fit in one box: parenting à la carte, if you will. With every parent and every child on their own journey, the moms also discuss parenting in the wild: how to maneuver different styles and respect everyone’s path to parenthood while simultaneously being mindful of their own boundaries. One thing is for sure: there are many different approaches to raising littles, and not one path is the only way to do it.

Brittainy breaks down the history of breastfeeding coupled with her own experience. Having extended from EBF (exclusively breastfeeding) after learning her milk was high in lipase and the two week recommended bottle feeding wait period turned her baby off bottle feeding and into a boob barnacle. B gives her thoughts on breastfeeding, formula feeding, and why mothers should throw out the book and go with their gut, because fed is truly best. 

Join Truth Moms for the first official guest episode! Jaimeé Arroyo is a Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Nashville’s most sought-after Integrative Health Clinic.

Listen in as Jaimeé explains integrative health, navigates challenges, and discusses a full-blown investigation over supplements, PancakeGate, facts over fear with other leaders in the crunchy community, and more.

For all Jamieé does and continues to do on her quest for better health care solutions for whole families, Brittainy and Courtney are very proud to be not only fans of Hopewell but also patients of the practice along with their littles.
