141. THE HOLISTIC OBGYN: Life-changing insights into pregnancy, birth, fertility, circumcision, abortion + more with Nathan Riley, MD.

Societies fall when they don't support women properly. -Nathan Riley

Nathan Riley is a holistic OBGYN and probably the most profound medical advocate for women that we've ever interacted with. A classically trained OBGYN, after years of working in the mainstream medical system, he broke off on his own to provide the heart-centered care women + their partners deserve.

Now he borrows from Eastern traditions like Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and he provides holistic support to fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause long before he recommends surgery, hormonal contraception, or other pharmaceuticals. Above all else, he believes in real informed consent, patient education and autonomy.

In this episode we discuss a bunch of juicy topics like:

  • What prompted him to step away from the mainstream medical model
  • What people overlook with fertility
  • Why he doesn’t really trust most clinical research
  • Why you might reconsider choosing IVF
  • What is statistically safer: hospital or home birth?
  • Is circumcision really necessary?
  • Do epidurals help or inhibit the birth process
  • Are ultrasounds really risk free?
  • So much more!

And some of this MAY trigger you a bit, but we’re okay with that. Because it’s a core value of ours to be able to have difficult, nuanced conversations from a place of love + consciousness. We must if we want to evolve.
