We kick off Season 4 with Los Angeles Midwife, Bekah DuChateau. We talk about maternal mortality rate in the US, the role midwifery takes on during labor and all the dozens of questions in between. This could end up being a 5 part series, simply because there is so much information and Bekah is fantastic at shooting us straight. Let me know any future questions you have for her and I'll save them for her next visit!#midwife #pregnancy #momlife #midwifery #maternalmortality #postpartum #labor #delivery #laboranddelivery #doula #support #podcast #thefunnythingis

On today's episode of The Funny Thing Is Podcast, I go over my previous judgements and concerns of GLP-1s and then how they helped me thrive through my autoimmune disease. I also talk about how when judging things, people or experiences we need to be careful because karma can deliver a healthy dose of reality, forcing you to come face to face with the very thing you were judging. Like me and Gluten Free people (I am one now). One thing that was not mentioned that people keep asking me about was how much weight I lost. I lost 7 pounds in one year, but like I mention, I was on the lowest dose and never increased. #ozempic #glp1 #zepbound #autoimmune #hashimotos #weightloss

CEO and Founder of Augi Health, Cameron Moulene, joins the podcast this week to talk about the health care industry and the need for change. By creating Augi Health, the idea is fairly simple: build a new foundational layer to healthcare infrastructure, The Patient Layer, and rebuild everything else on top of that. As patients we should have access to all of our information and be able to relay it in a more streamlined, efficient way. Who do you know who is satisfied with the current health care system? The answer to that question, is why Augi Health is needed more than ever. #AugiHealth #cameronmoulene #healthcare #patient #information #medicalsupport #thefunnythingis #podcast
