Did you know that midwives can provide gynecological care outside of pregnancy and postpartum? While this used to be the standard practice, more and more medicine has moved inside of hospitals and toward physicians, but the role of midwife to the local community shouldn't be overlooked. Because of their unique skills and training, they can provide gynecological care that may better meet your preferences and needs. Certified Nurse Midwife, Hamilton Yarbrough, joins us to talk about her midwifery practice and the services she offers to women who are not pregnant or postpartum.

NOTE: This episode is appropriate for most audiences but does mention birth and trauma.

GUEST BIO: Hamilton Yarbrough is a wife to her wonderful husband Jordan of 10 years; they have two wild little boys Charlie and Lewis, both born at home (which is what sparked her desire to move into midwifery model with Homebirth). She has been practicing as a midwife for 8 years now and has had her own clinic for 5. She has helped over 500 mothers, sisters, and friends navigate the ups and downs of GYN care, pregnancy, loss, birth, and everything in between and loved every second of it!

Let's talk about period blood clots. Are they normal? A problem? Why doesn't your OBGYN seem to know what to do with them? As a Certified FertilityCare Practitioner, I get these questions a lot. Western medicine doesn't have a lot to offer, though. So, what about eastern medicine? Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has long focused on the quality of menstruation and has developed patterns related to period clots. This episode with licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist, Emily Kuentz, explains this eastern perspective and how it can provide resources to women struggling with blood clots. In this episode, we explore:

⭐️ The five reasons women may have period clots, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine

⭐️ The eastern vs western explanations for period clots

⭐️ One surprising thing you can start doing to potentially help blood clots like this

NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.
