Healthy Discourse with Dr. Wiggy and Emily Saunders

What is a doula? How are they certified? What do they do and what do they not do? How do doulas support fathers during birth? Kristian Jordan, Certified Doula, joins the show today to share all about doulas and some fun statistics too! A must listen for all expectant moms, dads, grandparents and anyone who might be a parent in the future!

Kenzie Terry, Thermography Technician, joins the show today to share with us the basics of thermography. Many have heard the term, but few people understand what it's used for, who it's for, what the scans show, and how the information can be used by medical providers to monitor and optimize health. Kenzie shares with us important details, safety data, distinctions, and uses for thermography. It's NOT just for breasts and contrary to popular understanding, is an adjunctive tool for many conditions. Be sure to tune in to this short but useful episode!

Dr. Wiggy is back on the show today to talk about IV Therapies.  Most people are only familiar with IV medications, but not therapeutics including vitamins and minerals.  We share a quick life update and then dive into the types of IV therapies and their indications before finishing the show discussing the state of medicine, how it's changing and the resurgence of private practice as a result of patient demand.  

Adam Draper joins the show to share about his work with Pacific Justice Institute and the cases they are currently handling. We also discuss a recent proposal from the Department of Education that has HUGE implications on Title IX and the definition of "sexuality". Yes, even private schools need to pay close attention.

Women are fed messages around self-care and self-love at every turn.  While self-care IS important, it's definition is too.  It easily becomes a slippery slope for women to fall into a cycle of self-discovery, self-love, self-acceptance, self-reliance and ultimately self as God. Emily Copeland has just released a book, Starving The Fairytale, that dives deep into these themes and how they are causing destruction, even for Christian women.  The messages of "own your truth", "follow your heart", "do more of what makes you happy", and "be true to yourself" might sound good on the surface, but ultimately, lead us away from God.  Emily offers a refreshing and deep perspective on this spiral and how women can instead lean in on the Source of our worth in Jesus. 

Jessica Funk, DDS, concerned mom, and expert and sharing data in layman's terms, joins the show to dive into the data from the COVID-19  Pfizer trials for EUA in babies and young children.  We discuss trial numbers, efficacy, adverse reactions, and holes in the data that are yet to be answered.  Our hope is to provide questions for parents to consider and present to their pediatricians and healthcare providers. 

As parents, we've been told for years that fluoridated water is necessary for children and their teeth.  Today, Rick North, joins the show to share about the history of fluoride research in kids, IQ and neurotoxicity concerns, and a new study in North Carolina through UNC Chapel Hill testing fluoridated bottled water on 3 month old to 4 year old's.  If you aren't familiar with the negative effects of fluoride, this is a must listen.  If you are, it's a must-listen as we dive into the details about this specific details of this new experiment on kids, despite a plethora of research.
