  • Listener Q&A - Something was up with my placenta

    Listener Q&A - Something was up with my placenta
    Aug 1 2024

    In this shorty episode I answer this question from Keri.

    "Hi Dr. Nicole! I love the podcast and have a question for the Q&A. I have a 2 year old daughter. Easy pregnancy and delivery at 40w6d and healthy baby! At the hospital, it is routine to send the placenta to pathology. The report stated that I had “patchy chorangiosis” with a note that it is associated with tobacco or drug use during pregnancy and a bunch of other medical issues. This was alarming to me, but Google did not provide much information, but it seems rare to have with a healthy pregnancy. Thinking about baby #2. Should this be a concern? Thank you for the podcast!"

  • [HOT TOPIC] Newborn Male Circumcision - Yes or No?

    [HOT TOPIC] Newborn Male Circumcision - Yes or No?
    Jul 30 2024

    This episode is one I originally did back in 2020. Since it comes up from time to time and can be a contentious topic, I decided to rebroadcast it today.

    In this episode, I’ll walk you through what circumcision is, its benefits and risks, and why some families choose to have this elective procedure. There are also some ethical questions you may want to consider before choosing to have your baby circumcised, so I talk about those too. My own thinking around this procedure has changed over time and maybe yours will too!

    • Why Dr. Warsh transitioned away from traditional pediatrics to integrative medicine
    • What integrative medicine and integrative parenting refer to
    • How the U.S. medical system falls short
    • Why we should apply a balanced approach to traditional and modern medicine
    • How integrative parenting can help with common infant challenges
    • What constitutes a non-toxic home
    • Why we should shift more focus to preventative care
    • Who makes a good candidate for home birth
