This episode, my good friend and fellow naturopath Cheree Sheldon, joins us for an episode all about pregnancy – before, during and after. Cheree is incredibly researched based, and we wanted to come together to discuss a listener query regarding “vaginal seeding”, that is, when doctors swab the mother’s vagina and wipe the vaginal fluid on baby’s body, face and mouth following a c-section birth.
We start by playing a clip from the British Medical Journal, introducing vaginal seedings – what they are, what they involve and how it can help. We speak about the ever changing research about microbiome shared between mother and baby and what impact this can have.
Cheree shares her knowledge about influencing microbiome in babies and how vital this is in the first two years of their lives.
Ultimately, it’s your body and your baby, informed consent and this is something we’re very passionate about!
So much juicy info and conversations within this episode, especially for parents or parents-to-be.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
