“As a person who is intentional about growing my family, I find Dr. Stu and Midwife Blyss to be informative, passionate, and deeply rooted leaders in the birth world. There is truly nothing more vital to a society than women being free to birth in their power. This podcast will help you awaken...”Read full review »

“I love how Dr. Stu and Blyss are not afraid to challenge the norms of conventional medicine. I appreciate the information being delivered in a way that allows the listener to think for themselves and make a judgment call based on their own circumstances. It would be difficult to find this...”Read full review »

“Ugh! Dr. Stu defaulted to using inclusive language on episode #330 but then took back people to say “women.” Here’s a radical notion you can say “birthing women AND birthing people.” Also their insistence on “health freedom” is so eerily close to the Birch Society (super racist and problematic...”Read full review »

“Some of the conversation is interesting, however I find the lack of actual research on topics is just not professional. For example: the reason why NIPT doesn’t replace a nuchal translucency is because they’re different tests with different findings. An NT measurement of >3.5mm at 11-13+6...”Read full review »
