365: Trusting Birth, Questioning the System and Supporting Parents and Birth Workers with Dr. Nathan Riley - a podcast by Independent Podcast Network | Sarah and Matthew Bivens

How do you truly honor birth?
Dr. Nathan Riley joins us for the second time on the podcast. First time was back in 2019, and a lot of life has changed for him.For one thing, he’s welcomed both of his daughters into the world. And today we talk about the home birth of the youngest (about 5 weeks old at the time of this interview). Nathan shares his perspective of the experience, as a father, partner and physician.
Nathan also talks about the space he holds for birth and how he has evolved from an OBGYN practicing in the hospital to a more lifestyle medicine approach where he supports both parents and birth workers.The nuggets in this episode are too many to count and drop at such a rapid rate. You might need to hit pause and rewind a few times, that’s how powerful it is!Things we talk about in this episode: hospital model of care, hospital birth, home birth story, fast labor and delivery, trusting and bearing witness to birth, awesome resources around holistic birth, Nathan’s journey as a doctor, questioning the medical system
