An unhealthy first marriage resulted in an unhealthy, overweight, stay-at-home mom of 3 boys for our guest Melinda for years. As a divorcee, she then became responsible for caring for and financially supporting her sons and she didn’t know what to do. Unhappy with her own physical appearance, Melinda lacked the self-confidence to even go out and apply for a job. Determined to change that though, Melinda transformed not only her body, but her life altogether. At 40 years old she was in better health than she had ever been and was involved with a great man to whom she married shortly thereafter. Melinda’s amazing health journey led to increased fertility and she conceived shortly after getting married to the love of her life. Tune in to this episode to hear Melinda’s truly inspiring transformation and her entire “Pregnancy After 40” Journey and Story. ______________________________________________________________________ Melinda’s Contact Information: FB: https://www.facebook.com/mkmacedo IG: @melindakatemomboss Website: coach.optavia.com/melindakate __________________________________________________________________ Mark your calendars and be sure to save the date for the upcoming "FERTILITY & PREGNANCY EXPO" on April 30, 2022 in Atlanta, GA!

While both of Mary Beth’s pregnancies were relatively healthy at 38 and 41, she is very candid in this “Pregnancy After 40” episode about the mental and physical toll that pregnancy had on her which prevented her from truly enjoying the time she spent carrying her daughters. During this journey, Mary Beth talks about how her initial reluctance in having to visit both her OB and MFM Specialist on different days during her 3rd trimester ended up being a lifesaver for her daughter and led to her being induced. She also shares how chiropractic treatments helped alleviate some of her pregnancy-related ailments, both of her traumatic deliveries, and destigmatizing Postpartum Depression (PPD).

Brief Summary: An easy natural conception for her first child at 39 years old led Leann and her husband to believe that it would not take that long to conceive their second child. Several years later with a miscarriage along the way, Leann shares her “Pregnancy After 40” story and journey, including an emergency induction due to high blood pressure which turned into preeclampsia. Many hours later, Leann’s daughter was born several weeks early and had to return to the hospital days after being discharged because their pediatrician initially disregarded the seriousness of their newborn’s jaundice, which required an admittance to the hospital again where their baby almost needed a blood transfusion. To hear more, tune in to this episode for Leann’s entire “Pregnancy After 40” Journey and Story. ______________________________________________________________________ Women's First presents the...

In this episode, Dr. Emily Kiberd shares how she helps women struggling with Postpartum thyroiditis, Hashimoto’s and how to workout without burning out as a new mama so you can feel your best and show up for the people that matter the most. ABOUT DR. EMILY T. KIBERD: After having her first baby, Dr. Kiberd was chronically sick and didn’t feel like herself. She was: *Exhausted even after sleeping 14 hours a night *Gaining weight no matter how much she worked out *Struggled to finish her sentences *In chronic pain with full-body joint and muscle aches *Constantly injuring herself when she tried to workout Even 12 years as a Doctor of Chiropractic medicine, Emily had to look past her current knowledge of biomechanical joint and muscle pain to heal her body. The major factor that helped heal her Thyroid was working out smarter, not harder, to lose the stubborn weight and beat the fatigue. She learned how to feed and train the muscle to feel strong, beat fatigue, and get her confidence back. Since then, she has helped thousands of women do the same…lose weight, reclaim their energy, and feel empowered in their body!

Join us this episode as Ryan Kipping, a clinically trained Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Lactation Educator, and Author of "The Feel-Good Pregnancy Cookbook" shares how she helps women feel confident in their ability to properly nourish a growing baby through a real food approach. ABOUT RYANN KIPPING: Ryann is the founder of The Prenatal Nutritionist, a virtual nutrition private practice, which focuses on preparing women for pregnancy and conquering nutrition during and after pregnancy. She is also the founder of The Prenatal Nutrition Library, an online community for evidence-based nutrition information before and during pregnancy. Ryann has helped hundreds of women escape confusing and outdated nutrition information to find a happy, feel-good pregnancy. Simply put, advice to “take a prenatal vitamin” is not enough. If there is any time in your life to make nutrition a priority, it’s now. Eating for two people is different than eating for one. Appetite changes, intense cravings, morning sickness, and heartburn comes in winds and you’re forced to lean into your body’s cues like never before. During pregnancy, you have to eat intentionally and I’m here to make it easy for you. I’ve done all the research, so you don’t have to spend another minute debating your every bite. Having the “pregnancy glow” is great and all, but feeling that glow (confidence, nourishment, and energy) on the inside is what matters the most. Ryann also creates content daily for her popular Instagram account @prenatalnutritionist.
