12 Jun 2020FFP 316 | In The Name of The Pill | Mike Gaskins01:18:29

He isn’t a doctor or a woman, but he is passionate about exposing the very real dangers of hormonal birth control. Mike Gaskins is a media writer/producer who began his journey as a women’s health advocate after a world-renowned physician lied to him about birth control side effects. This chance encounter triggered a passion for research that led Mike to discover many shocking levels of deceit and misinformation surrounding these potent drugs.

He recently collaborated with a group of leading physicians and women’s health advocates on a citizen’s petition to the FDA asking for new and stronger black box warnings on all hormonal contraceptives.

He frequently writes for websites like Hormones Matter and Natural Womanhood, and his new book, In the Name of The Pill explores the dubious nature of both the history and science of hormonal birth control.

In today’s episode we talk about hormonal birth control. We get into the history, the safety, and the controversy. Definitely an episode you won’t want to miss!

Dr. Fiona Bethea is a Health Scientist on the Bleeding Disorders Team in the Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch of the Division of Blood Disorders (DBD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). She joined DBD in 2009 and served as the project coordinator and technical advisor for a study of hemophilia inhibitors, a serious treatment complication.

She also collaborates in the monitoring and evaluation of the Community Counts bleeding disorders surveillance program. Dr. Bethea has been privileged to serve this community and contribute to the scientific evidence base to help prevent and reduce complications of bleeding disorders. She received her PhD in Epidemiology at Georgia State University.

Jhon Velasco is the Manager of Education and Training at National Hemophilia foundation, where he focuses on women with bleeding disorders, the Spanish speaking community and mental health. He earned his Masters in Health Education from Columbia University, where he focused on health education focusing on marginalized communities. A consistent theme in his career has been the development, implementation and analysis of new and existing public health projects for a variety of international communities, specifically undeserved populations. A common theme among these projects is his commitment to working with individuals and groups to improve their lives through education, mentorship and empowerment. Jhon is also a certified yoga and meditation instructor, having practiced throughout the Americas, Europe and South East Asia.

15 Jan 2021FFP 347 | Raw Milk & Fertility | Mark McAfee01:06:03

Mark is the founder and CEO of Organic Pastures Dairy Company, a leading California and national brand of truly raw dairy products including milk, butter, cream, kefir, truly raw cheddar cheeses. Founder and chairman of Raw Milk Institute and is an internationally recognized speaker and expert with an emphasis on Raw Milk production standards, gut biome, milk genomics, nutritional benefits, food safety and the medical benefits of raw unprocessed milk and products.

Mark is deeply involved with raw milk food safety research and is associated with the International Milk Genomics Consortium at UC Davis. Since 2018, two peer reviewed research papers now identify the Raw Milk Institute standards, training and testing protocols as causing “The RAWMI EFFECT”. Since 2014, in the USA there has been a 357% increase in raw milk consumption with a decrease of 74% for reported illness associated with raw milk. This positive effect has been associated with the advances in testing technology and the standards and training developed by RAWMI and its PhD board of directors. Thousands of farmers have received RAWMI training on how to produce raw milk for human consumption verses standards for pasteurization.

In today’s episode, we talk all about raw milk, and why it may be worth considering if you’ve had issues with regular, conventional, processed milk products.

Topics discussed in today's episode:
  • How and why raw milk became the center of Mark’s career
  • Why someone would consume milk that is not pasteurized
  • Why pasteurized milk is so allergenic
  • The reason raw milk is illegal or not regulated in certain countries
  • The two different standards for raw milk
  • When most bacteria in milk happens and what the levels typically are from a healthy cow
  • Why pasteurized milk is not good for your gut
  • How a whole food diet supports fertility
  • Why raw milk is so beneficial to your health
  • Three things that will quickly drop inflammation

Topics discussed in today's episode:
  • Sarah’s personal experience with birth control that led her to further research the influence of birth control on your brain
  • How sex hormones work in men vs. women 
  • Why we need to steer away from thinking sex hormones in the brain are threatening to women or feminism 
  • The affects of estrogen on women across the menstrual cycle
  • How our hormones impact our own behavior and influence the behavior of men around us 
  • How at high fertility, women have more interest in genetic compatibility of men via scent 
  • Why women who are on birth control do not get a surge in estrogen and therefore it impacts their partner choice 
  • The importance of remembering there are other factors that will impact your partner choice besides your birth control status
  • Why it’s so important to be aware of the effects of birth control so if you choose to be on it, you know why you may experience changes in your body or mind 
  • Why you should always trust your body and not take no for an answer from your doctor whether you choose to be on or off birth control
