In this eye-opening conversation, Tom speaks with birth and postpartum doula Eyla Cuenca about the hidden crisis in modern birth culture—what happens after the baby is born.

Together, they explore:

• What a doula really does (and how it differs from midwifery)
• Why postpartum care is missing from conventional models
• How birth trauma, tech culture, and convenience parenting disconnect women from their babies
• The rise of postpartum depression and its real root causes
• How to support mothers in restoring their intuition, confidence, and bond with their child
• The importance of inner healing for doulas and mothers alike
• Why well-baby visits, milestone charts, and feeding schedules may do more harm than good

Eyla also shares details about her postpartum doula training program, which is as much a journey of self-reflection as it is a practical course in mother and baby care.

Tom held a Q&A. Topics included:
-Can you please talk about ways to detox the body of aluminum from vax? One way our provider at the NBC recommends certain waters containing certain minerals, but we’re hesitant because they come in plastic bottles. Are there other ways?
-As a regular attended to the Wednesday webinar, which I enjoy immensely, I would like to know from a New Biology perspective what are stem cells, are they really a thing, and if so what is meant by stem cell therapy?
-With regards to the New Biology Clinic, does someone need to live in the United States to become a member or receive a consultation?
-Would strophanthus help with “peripheral venous insufficiency” as dx from medical system. I thought maybe since if heart is not a pump- then veins not too? if supplement will strengthen heart will it help to “suction” vortex blood back from lower extremity -legs to heart?
-Are different blood types real?
-Is there an alternative to blood transfusion in the event of an emergency?
-We hear a lot about high blood pressure, but what about people with low blood pressure? Are there ever reasons to be concerned, or does this indicate anything happening in the body that should be addressed?
-What would include in a New Biology approved first aid kit, and "emergent" tools to use and have on hand?
-Question about the analemma water wand. Can it be used when structuring wine, or when I add diatomaceous earth to my water? Are there benefits to using the wand in liquids other than water?
-what should be the first practical step of someone diagnosed with cancer? can they heal on their own or they need to find a so-called holistic healthcare professional?
-Per the "pure food and drugs act" that is enforced on small mom and pop operation, putting them in prison, but not large corporations, it is illegal to poison food and drugs with substances once it is known to be poisonous. Why is this happening?
-parasites and cancer - your view
-If someone is having signs of heart attack, what should they do?
-Bio identical progesterone? Any good for post-menopausal stress?
-We have started sourcing our drinking and cooking water from a local spring that gets excellent ratings. However, I'm not sure I feel 100% comfortable not filtering the water given I can't test it regularly. What is the "harm" in putting my spring water through a Berkey filter before I use my analemma wand to charge my water? Does the filtering process due more harm than good when it comes to natural spring water?
-What type of pots and pans are good to cook with in accordance with the new biology beliefs?

In this special session on his 69th birthday, Tom opens with a personal story reflecting on his early childhood experience with stuttering—and how a recent Smithsonian article attempts to explain it through genetics. He challenges the genetic determinism behind this theory and shares a powerful reminder that true healing starts with honoring the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of our lives.

Then, Tom reads Chapter 5: “Stagnation” from his upcoming book New Biology Principles. This chapter explores how vitality is linked to our environment and the internal state of our tissues—where stagnation, both external and internal, gives rise to disease.

Tom answers two audience questions:
- Oral sex and oral cancers – Why HPV is not a valid explanation and what else might be at play
- Hashimoto’s and thyroid issues – A story that reframes "autoimmune thyroid disease" as a brilliant adaptive strategy, not a malfunction
