  • #120: The Lowdown on Laryngomalacia
    Jul 9 2025

    When Dr. Morgan's fourth baby was just a few weeks old and started making a sometimes grunty sometimes squeaky noise with each inhale - She didn't know what to think, and she certainly didn't expect the diagnosis her baby would ultimately get. Laryngomalacia is a term that we all became intimately familiar with, and it basically translates to soft or floppy vocal cords. In this episode, Dr. Morgan takes you through all of the information you need to know about laryngomalacia, from the physiology to the symptoms to the levels of severity, and then treatment. She details everything that she can remember from that time and how it affected her daughter's sleeping, feeding, and thus weight gain - significantly. If you're listening to this episode, it might be because you're going through it - and for that, Dr. Morgan gives a big hug.

  • #118: All About Preeclampsia, with Tiffany from Beautiful One Midwifery
    Jun 25 2025

    Have you ever wondered how preeclampsia is handled by midwives? Or how you can prevent it from occurring in the first place? Today on the podcast, Dr. Morgan interviews Tiffany Alblinger, a homebirth midwife with Beautiful One Midwifery in San Diego, and we talk all about preeclampsia through a midwifery model of care lens. We discuss the basic things, like what it is, what the symptoms are, and how you might come to be diagnosed - but then we also talk about prevention from a holistic point of view - and what can be done if you'd had preeclampsia in a previous pregnancy and don't want to get it again. Tiffany explains how she uses a functional medicine approach to looking at a woman's whole diet and lifestyle to work at optimizing birth outcomes from before they even become pregnant, and then what she does to support them if the body is showing signs of tracking toward preeclampsia. It's a fascinating conversation, so let's jump in!

  • #115: Birth Considerations + Prep for Sexual Trauma Survivors with Beth Warren LCSW
    Jun 4 2025

    In this episode, Dr. Morgan interviews perinatal mental health therapist and licensed clinical social worker, Beth Warren on the topic of how past trauma, specifically sexual or reproductive trauma can affect and trigger women when they enter the process of motherhood - from pregnancy through postpartum. She outlines the various obvious and subtle ways this period can cause survivors to relive aspects of their trauma - and what they can do to abate these effects. From understanding the what and why, to developing a true trauma-informed birth team- this is an important topic not often brought to light and I'm honored to be bringing further awareness for how survivors can educate and empower themselves so this experience is the best it can be.

  • #113: Breastfeeding and Trying To Conceive
    May 21 2025

    Trying to get pregnant again while still breastfeeding is something Dr. Morgan gets asked about SO often - so we decided to dedicate a whole episode to the topic. There's a lot to understand about the way lactational physiology differs from fertile or pregnant physiology - and we must understand the hormonal and metabolic interplay to make meaningful and effective changes that can increase our chances of pregnancy while nursing. We hope this clears up some confusion and helps give a guiding path to how you can grow your family while still nursing others- in a healthful way for you AND baby.
