“I’ve been an avid listener for years! I love the quality unbiased education Dr. Rankins provides. I took the birth preparation course and had the unmediated hospital birth of my dreams. I owe it all to the education I received from this podcast and the course. Thanks Dr. Nicole!”

“Love how you are so detailed at explaining everything! Can you please touch on Mast Cell syndrome and management during pregnancy?

For example, Dr....”Read full review »
