UPDATE: You may have noticed a slowdown in new episodes of the podcasts, because there are a lot exciting things going on in the background.
I am actively hiring a social media manager who can transcribe the work from Substack onto X/Instagram accounts. This seems particularly appropriate since we will be clipping podcast episodes for other platforms
The more I read and research, the more I want to read. I don’t want to waste time trying to figure out how to translate this important work into the formats the other platforms thrive on. Time to evolve!
I’ve also been recording many episodes in the background, just getting around to editing them has been challenging.
Also in the market for someone who can edit/clip the material. If you know anyone, send them my way! Foundationalhealthllc@pm.me
Future Podcast Guests:
Dr. Stu Fischbein - an Ob/Gyn of 40 years who long ago shifted his practice from the hospital to the home. Advocating for midwife-led, low-intervention and home birth approaches. He’s known for supporting spontaneous vaginal delivery of breech and twin births.
Dr. Nathan Riley - a young Ob/Gyn who left the standard hospital system to practice more holistic, integrative and autonomy-focused approach to birth. He collaborates with midwives and emphasizes childbirth as a natural and spiritual process, with low-intervention home birth approach.
Bryce Hanna - known on twitter as photobiogenesis, and I would describe him as a biochemist above anything else. But, he is unique for several reasons including a deep understanding of nutrition, pharmacology, herbalism, and naturalism. I’m drawn to his work for his attention to detail and nuance when discussing all of the above.
