Please remember that the views on this podcast and website are not meant to be substituted for medical advice, shouldn’t be used to diagnose, treat or cure any conditions, and are intended for general information purposes only.

Dr. Elana interviews doula, Carson Meyer, to help inspire birth options. Whether you choose a home birth or hospital birth for your birth experience, there truly is no right or wrong way. Knowing your options and making choices based on education is what will truly end in an empowered birth! Carson happened to be the doula for our friends over at Needed, one of our podcast partners. One of the founders, Ryan Woodbury, worked closely with Carson and learned so much from her wisdom that going into her birth with her daughter was free from fear and anxiety and she wants that for every mama!

Carson is also a certified nutrition consultant and recommends Needed to her clients as well. Not only do you have options with birth, but you also have many options when it comes to preconception, prenatal, and postpartum nutrition. We are honored to partner with such a high-quality company like Needed we can really stand behind their formulas and overall mission to bring the best nutrition to women around the world!
