Description:
That’s right, there’s a new Mother of Dragons- many, in fact. This episode the Green Docs honors expectant mothers in this Chinese "Year of the Dragon" with a special guest – Nate’s wife, Kyndell, who is expecting their little fire-breather this summer. She talks about what it’s like to be married to an Ob/Gyn (her OB FOB), how to navigate the new digital marketplace for pregnancy and parenthood, and the best time to discuss environmental topics with moms-to-be. Sneak preview: it’s not at 6 AM before coffee.
Nate and Bruce steer you through the latest headlines your OB might have missed: like what it really means to be born under the auspices of the dragon zodiac; dissecting new analysis on how the United States truly ranks among global maternal health (probably better than you think); and good news for moms who want to avoid that sugary diabetes test – a new gene study that could make us sour on the sweetener challenge. Tune in to the Season 2 Finale for all this plus Bruce’s recommendation to Nate and Kyndell for a baby name: Brucina? A little dragonian.
