In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

FullWell Fertility: Raising the Bar on Fertility Testing 1:25:45

3 dni temu1:25:45

1:25:45

Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Host Caitlin Johnson speaks with Ayla Barmmer of FullWell. Ayla founded FullWell as an adjunct to her clinical practice at Boston Functional Nutrition because she wanted to make the evidence-based, effective, and high-quality supplement they created for their clients available to the rest of the world. After almost two decades working on thousands of complex fertility cases, she learned that no two are alike. In fact, fertility is arguably one of the most common yet perplexing health issues. The vast majority of people receive the most frustrating diagnosis of all: “unexplained infertility.” Popular medical interventions have notoriously poor success rates and often yield tremendous physical and emotional stress, not to mention the financial and relational impact. Ayla synthesized decades of findings, looking at the needs that have emerged from the most straightforward to the most complex cases. Her approach looks at the whole person, in the context of their environments, peeling back the layers until we grasp root issues. Over time, She has observed as many external and systemic causes of fertility issues as internal and specific concerns. For this reason, She believes in addressing the pursuit of fertility health as both an individual and collective need, carefully supporting a wide variety of inputs to build the optimal foundation for conception, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery. This episode also speaks about FullWell coming out with fertility testing! A new test kit that will check your Vitamin D levels, TSH, AMH and more! Head to their website for more exciting details!

Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Hosts Caitlin and Sophia chat with Dr. Rebecca Dekker from Evidence Based Birth. Evidence Based Birth® was founded by Rebecca Dekker, a mother of 3 and registered nurse with her PhD, who got fed up with how the system treats birthing families.

In contrast, she felt awed and empowered by the respectful and evidence based care she received at the home birth of her second child. After several years of writing at Evidence Based Birth® and working as a nursing professor and research scientist, Dr. Dekker found the courage to leave academia and focus on advocating for change full-time.

Rerelease: PCOS and Fertility: How to Approach Treatment 1:10:39

13 weeks temu1:10:39

1:10:39

PCOS is treatable! Here’s how to start: Personal Baseline: What do your labs say? What symptoms are you dealing with? Have you had any imaging done? These are all the first things to start looking at when it comes to PCOS. It’s important to note that while Caitlin and Sophia love working with women with PCOS, and we have many years of experience, we are dietitians, not doctors. We don’t diagnose! So what to do with nutrition: Balance blood sugar Make sure that there is a higher quality and quantity of protein at each meal and snack “Quality” means it’s not inflammatory and provides more protein than it does any other macronutrient. Examples: meat, cheese, nuts, and seeds Most women with PCOS tolerate high protein dairy products like greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and cheese! SOME women do have fewer symptoms when they eliminate gluten and dairy, but it’s not the magic answer to PCOS management that it’s often believed to be Not everyone needs to be dairy free! Veggies, fruits, nuts, and seeds are your best sources of fiber! Pro tip: artichoke hearts have a ton of fiber! Fiber is great at filling your plate and filling your belly! You’ll find that you get to eat a lot of food while managing your PCOS Eating real food, vs. a protein bar or shake will keep you full for longer. It will help you slow down and feel full, versus slamming down a protein bar in under a minute To succeed, you have to eat enough to feel full! Fiber and protein are keys in making that happen FIBER! Starting your day with nutrients and blood sugar balancing protein! Even though it might seem like a lot of calories to have 3 egg scrambled with spinach and feta, a slice of toast with nut butter, and with a cup of coffee; you will feel full for so long and it will keep your blood sugar steady for hours! Swapping sweet for savory when possible. Eating sweet makes you crave sweet! It’s not your fault, its PCOS! Eating the right fuel first thing in the morning will keep your cravings at bay. Breakfast Try cronometer.com! Plug in what you’re eating and let’s look at your vitamin/mineral/fiber intake in a day! Sometimes you can be eating “healthy” but missing key pieces for PCOS fertility Take a peek at your protein/carb ratio! Typical American diets can have way more carb to protein than is helpful for PCOS fertility Check out your current nutrition status Keto, Atkins, and other super restrictive diets are not needed to boost fertility with PCOS Food is slow medicine; sometimes it takes several months of eating right to balance your cycles and get pregnant! You need to do something that can be sustained long term, not another crash-diet plan. Sustainability Supplements Remember to check with your doc!! Some of these supplements can interact with medications or are contraindicated for certain medical issues. Is there insulin resistance present? How about high testosterone? Or high stress? How’s the thyroid? That’s where we start to dig into what supplements can help. We recommend myo-inositol and not d-chiro. PCOS ovaries can make too much d-chiro, so we are careful not to exacerbate that Inositols Helps improve insulin sensitivity and can boost egg quality, plus helps you make great cervical mucus NAC Another powerful blood-sugar/insulin supportive supplement Berberine Wherever you live in the world, most of us are vitamin D deficient. As levels of vitamin D rise, insulin resistance lowers! It’s also important for maintaining a healthy pregnancy! Vitamin D Support egg quality and improve insulin resistance Zinc Common mineral of deficiency in PCOS, helps with gut health, insulin resistance, and ovulation Magnesium You don’t want to wait until you’re pregnant! Start on a quality prenatal ASAP! (And stay tuned for our episode on prenatals dropping soon!) Prenatal We’re here for the omega-3’s! Omega-3’s are essential fatty acids that are vital for reducing inflammation and supports your body in building new tissues. Eggs, endometrial lining, and babies are all new tissues your body grows! DHA/EPA are the omegas you want! Don’t be seduced by algae oils! They don’t have the same DHA/EPA ratios as fish-based supplements Fish oil Movement and Exercise Sleeping 6-7 hours vs. 4-5 hours is a game changer for PCOS Blackout curtains or a sleep mask can help you stay asleep longer. Here is a link to Sophia’s fave sleep mask Meditation apps and sleep stories can help you quiet your thoughts and get into a deeper sleep Blue-light blocking glasses can help if you’re using screens prior to bedtime Sleep environment is key Sleep and stress management Many times women with PCOS have been told to lose weight in order to get pregnant, that they’re total exercise junkies! All that effort can be misplaced when it’s cranking up your stress hormones and stressing your immune system If you’re dreading your workout and coming up with every excuse not to go, find something else! Keep your own body in mind - if you’re 280 pounds, putting weights on your back and trying to squat is only going to put more strain on your body. Bodyweight exercises can be a lot more helpful! Cardio isn’t always the answer. Strength training and resistance workouts can do wonders for building muscles and changing insulin Find something that you like Stretching and breathing can lower your stress and help your body relax. Quality ovulation is dependent on your body feeling safe enough to become pregnant. Lowering stress hormones can be a big key in this Yoga Exercise Check out Caitlin's program: Find Fertility with the PCOS+ Method.…
