How To Birth Easier & Quicker

Geez, sure wish I’d known/thought about this before birthing mine!

Here’s one of the many birth stories shared on this natural birthing site.

Go have a look at the short video on the site too, they’ve even got the famous Dr. Christiane Northrup on it:

Orgasm a Tool for Birth – By Shiraz Ariel Drori

I am a mother of three great kids, birth coach and doula and want to share with you a special story.

The idea that there is a connection between the womb and orgasm had emerged in my head when I was 8 months pregnant with my first baby. I had experienced a sensual pregnancy and enjoyed a very good sex life with my husband. I decided to try to use this powerful tool at my birth. The first labor was difficult due to the fact that I had a placental abruption and hadn’t realized it. At the end I gave birth naturally with no epidural and a small tear that required 4 stitches. At the time I didn’t think that the orgasm helped me but then I realized that maybe it did, maybe it saved me from a c-section.

Good Healthy Fats

If you haven’t already, read my blog on vegetarianism vs. animal fats to see why your body needs good fats. We also talked about good fats in my teleseminar with renowned holistic dentist, Dr. Hal Huggins.

Since this is SUCH a maligned topic, I’m gonna keep talking about it!

Remember, the cell membrane is 40% fat – what does that say to you about your body’s need for fat? And of course, it has to be bioavailable fat, in the right forms, that your body can use. Here’s my video where I show you which fats to eat and how to work them into your diet:

More Evidence

Dr. Joe Mercola once posted an excellent article on this topic (it has long since been archived), but here’s the summary:

  • The hypothesis that saturated fat causes heart disease was based on cherry-picked statistics that have long since been refuted and proven incorrect, but the dogmatic belief that fat is bad for you still persists with nearly all physicians and the media
  • Saturated fats from animal and vegetable sources provide the building blocks for your cell membranes and a variety of hormones and hormone-like substances that are essential to your health. They also act as carriers for fat-soluble vitamins, and are required for mineral absorption and for a host of other biological processes
  • There are more than a dozen different types of saturated fat, but you predominantly consume only three: stearic acid, palmitic acid and lauric acid. It’s been well-established that stearic acid (found in cocoa and animal fat) has no effect on your cholesterol levels. The other two, palmitic and lauric acid, raise “good” cholesterol as much or more than “bad” cholesterol; thereby actually lowering your risk of heart disease
  • Healthful fats include olives, olive oil, coconut oil, butter from raw grass-fed milk, raw nuts, organic eggs, grass-fed meats, and avocados, just to name a few

Here are the forms of fat that your body CANNOT use:

Should You Avoid Lectins?

Ever since Dr. Steven Gundry came out with his book, very slick videos, and pervasive marketing campaign about the evils of lectin-containing foods... I've been suspicious. I didn't change any…

Remove Toxins From Your Environment & Heal Faster

I have an entire chapter (Ch.4) in Listen To Your Gut devoted to guiding you through your whole house, clothes, eating, etc. showing you how to remove all those “hidden” toxins that are sabotaging your health and making it harder to heal.

This latest news report is just more confirmation of the importance of removing all these toxic chemicals from your environment. Researchers at the Department of Epidemiology at UCLA’s School of Public Health determined that:

“Women in the study with high levels of perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) took longer to get pregnant.

Recent animal studies have found these chemicals may have a variety of toxic effects on the liver, immune system and developmental and reproductive organs.

In addition, previous studies by the same researchers found that PFOA may affect the growth of fetuses. In addition, two other studies linked PFOA and PFOS to impaired fetal growth, Olsen said.”

These chemicals are pervasive in food packaging, pesticides, clothing, upholstery, carpets and personal care products.

As I say in Chapter Four of Listen To Your Gut, page 259:
