“Starting listening when my wife got pregnant and I find a lot of the information helpful and really interesting. I try to go out of my way to listen to episodes that present views I don’t think I will agree with because I want to hear all sides but it frustrates me that she claims to present the information as unbiased when it is evident that she does not.
The longer I listened to the show the more apparent it became that the host leans away from hospitals, doctors, vaccines, etc. and towards unmedicated home birth; no amount of her tacking on “but you should do whatever you think is best” covers up her slanted viewpoint.
The episode about bringing your newborn infant child to the chiropractor was the straw that broke the camels back for me. No pun intended. There is simply no evidence that chiropractic care provides long term healing benefits especially when compared to the costs and risks.
Furthermore the entire conversation that a baby would need such care because it was “smooshed” while coming through the birthing canal was at odds with her overarching premise that the human body is design for birth. If the body is designed for birth and thus we don’t need typically need medical intervention, why on Earth would an infant need medical intervention after being birthed???
As a final thought, I find it annoying that she routinely makes comments suggesting that only women would be interested in birth or listening to her podcast unless prodded by a birth partner. Seems like a very old fashioned view of pregnancy and birth.”
