Bettina had experienced recurrent miscarriage and even though her OBGYN "thought he knew why," he wouldn't do testing until she had lost three babies. Instead of waiting for that to happen, Bettina went in search of another opinion and discovered NaProTechnology. In this episode, Caitlin talks with one of her Woven Natural Fertility Care clients, Bettina, to hear what the NaProTechnology physician found that her local OBGYN didn't and how it not only allowed her to successfully carry a twin pregnancy, but also improve her cycles and quality of life moving forward.

NOTE: Recurrent pregnancy loss is mentioned in this episode.

It's not easy being a woman in the world, especially physically. As much as we would like to pretend it doesn't make a difference, it impacts our lives, not only on a physical level, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. And especially when that physical reality is painful or broken or abusive, where is God to be found? For author Hannah Miller King, it was in the simple act of communion. Today's episode looks at the beauty and power of communion for connection with Jesus and healing the broken places we feel in our bodies as women.

NOTE: Please be aware that this episode does mention sexual abuse and trauma.

Why is there a Christian book about women's health and fertility? What does faith have to do with PAP smears and endometriosis?? Too often, the only time we see religion take part in conversations around reproductive health is when there's controversy or debate. That is not what we're about, or what our book is about. If you're interested in hearing just a hint of why we talk about faith alongside women's health, this episode is for you.

NOTE: This episode is appropriate for most audiences but does mention sex ed.

There's a problem in women's healthcare today, but what can we do about it as women? It can feel disheartening and frustrating to see the gaslighting and 10-minute appointments and feel like there's nothing you can do. But patients have the power to encourage progress. In today's episode, Caitlin talks with medical school professor, Dr. Anita Showalter, about: 

- why the standards for women's healthcare feel so low 

- what every day women can to do raise the bar 

- the importance of setting your physician up for success 

- how we can get access to health and wellness resources even outside of the doctor's office

If you're feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or stuck by the status quo of reproductive healthcare, this encouraging episode is for you.

GUEST BIO: Anita Showalter, DO, MA, FACOOG (D) serves Duquesne University Nasuti College of Osteopathic Medicine as Chair of Specialty Medicine and Division Chief of OBGYN. She applies whole person philosophy to patient care by focusing on nutrition and lifestyle and using hands-on Osteopathic Manipulation to reduce pain and speed healing. She is dedicated to train the next generation of physicians to look for root causes of disease and not only focus on symptoms. 

NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.

Hanna prefers holistic medicine and homeopathy to modern medical advancements so when her doctor recommended a laparoscopy for possible endometriosis, she wasn't thrilled. This began a journey of determining whether or not this surgery would be right for her specifically and she shares that honest journey with us in today's podcast. Whether or not you suspect endometriosis, many of us will face some tough medical calls in the midst of the unknown and it's hard to make a decision when we don't know the future. Yet, we have to make a decision one way or another because even choosing not to act is a choice in and of itself. So how do we choose? What things do we consider? How do we find peace with the next step forward? We discuss these and more in today's episode.

NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.

FemTech is a big industry but how helpful is it to "the little people" especially those trying to conceive? We talked with NaProTechnology trained PA, Naomi Davis, from Vivify Fertility & Health, about how she's seen FEMTECH support and restrict women trying to grow their families. She lays out the major types of FemTech devices, some pros and cons, and her best advice for those trying to conceive. We live in a technology-driven age, which means we have to be EDUCATED about what helps us vs what doesn't.

I'm thrilled that Naomi came on the show today because she is a part of The Fertile Hive, an online community led by NaProTechnology-trained medical professionals who want to provide support, encouragement, and education to those struggling to conceive. The Fertile Hive is one of our partners during the book launch of Woven Well: A Christian Woman's Guide to Reproductive Health, Fertility and Wholeness.

The Fertile Hive is an educational community led by Dr. Kristina Pakiz and Naomi Davis, PA-C, offering expert guidance and sisterly support for women navigating infertility. Together, we cut through the noise to create clarity, confidence, and hope on the fertility journey.

GUEST BIO: Naomi Davis is a board-certified physician assistant dedicated to providing holistic women’s healthcare that honors the body’s natural design. Inspired by her own experience with irregular cycles and PCOS, she practices NaProTechnology under the mentorship of Kristina Pakiz, integrating nutrition, exercise, and evidence-based medicine to help women find answers for pain, irregular cycles, infertility, and menopause-related concerns. Naomi trained at the St. Paul VI Institute and University of Nebraska Medical Center, and lives in Omaha with her husband and three children, where she enjoys sourdough baking and spending time outside.
