Life/Podcast UPDATES w/ Rye… Let us Know What you Think About THESE New Episode Ideas!
In this week’s mini episode, Rye shares some work/life updates, plus some MAJOR podcast news!
As Rye explains in this episode, we are considering switching to 4 new episode styles and would LOVE to hear from YOU (and in exchange for providing your feedback, you'll be entered to win a 20 count Ultima Electrolyte variety pouch, 30 lemonade canister + water bottle!). Tune into the episode for more details!
To recap, these are the 4 episode concepts we're considering switching to (alternating between them every other week)
#1: Coaching style episodes w/ @bodyblissbyjess. Think: 45min episodes, 1 hot topic at a time,pulling from what she’s learned helping hundreds of clients over the past 7 years...to help YOU achieve your health goals. (@ryeburch will interview Jess in some of these interviews)
#2- Stories from women who’ve overcome difficult life experiences that impacted their health/self/relationships, etc…including taboo topics like miscarriage, infidelity, drug / alcohol addiction, postpartum, plastic surgery, grief, divorce, etc. We want to reduce the shame associated with many of these topics and provide helpful advice for anyone going through these experiences!
#3- Monthly solo sister chats, such as our best + worst habits or daily rituals that are working or not working for us!

Exploring Unconventional Approaches to Fertility, Pregnancy and Birth with Nathan Riley, OB/GYN. Including Thoughts on: Male Infertility, C sections, Circumcisions, Home Births and Egg Freezing!
It's time for part 2 with Dr. Nathan Riley, the "Holistic OB/GYN," who helps us explore alternative or "unconventional" approaches to fertility, pregnancy and birth that provide greater autonomy AND support for women, their partners and (future) children.
(If you missed our last episode with Dr Riley from 12/2022, you can listen HERE. That episode reviews the flaws of our current medical system - from Dr Riley's perspective as an OB/GYN, having spent years working in hospitals, tending to women's health issues and delivering over 1000 babies).
IN THIS PART II CONVERSATION WE DISCUSS:
- Concerns regarding surgical interventions in pregnancy (c-sections, vitamin K shot, circumcisions)
- The connection between c sections and gut issues
- The origin story of midwifery
- Benefits of home birth VS. hospital birth (who is right for?)
- Difference between a midwife + doula
- Fertility optimization for women AND men
- Male infertility factors
- Insights on egg freezing
And finally, we talk about Nathan’s incredible new course the “born free method” - which you can check out at bornfreemethod.com. It’s a 12 month mastermind for soon to be parents who want to feel empowered, confident and informed about their pregnancy and childbirth journey (with an emphasis on home births). >> USE CODE "SOLO10" for 10% off the Born Free Method Course

MORE ABOUT DR RILEY
Dr Riley is a board-certified OB-GYN and fellow of ACOG who left the medical industrial complex due to his disillusionment with the “standard of care” within the conventional maternity care model. This was hard because “going with the flow” of hospital-based practice was providing him financial security. On the other hand, standing in his truth from having sat with over 1000 births and connecting with women and their families has provided him a lifestyle more in alignment with fatherhood, deepening his connection with his wife, and caring for people in the way that he had anticipated long before stepping into practice.
Dr. Riley now focuses his time on upholding the traditional practice of midwifery. He supports midwives as a collaborative physician in over twenty states. He is an advocate for home birth and still attends births for those in need. He boasts a c-section rate of
Dr. Riley is the father of two, the second of whom was born at home, and he is proudly married to his highschool sweetheart.

Why the Western Medical Model Often Fails Women, Especially in the Realm of Hormone Health / Fertility and Conception - with "Holistic OBGYN," Nathan Riley, MD.
This week, Jess + Rye are joined by Dr. Nathan Riley (OB/GYN). Despite completing extensive training within the traditional (western) medical model, Nathan's sense of self and independence was destroyed in the process, leading him to explore holistic approaches to patient treatment and care.

- How incentive structures work at hospitals
- How to communicate with your doctor and advocate for your hormone health
