BDA Baby (Before, During and After Baby)

PCOS is now known as PMOS — but what does that actually mean for women who have been diagnosed or suspect they may have it?
Today, Katherine sits down with registered dietitian and physician assistant Hannah Muehl, author of the upcoming book Thrive with PMOS, to break down what PMOS is, why the name changed, and what women should know about the symptoms and underlying hormone and metabolic issues associated with the condition.
They talk about everything from irregular periods, acne, hair loss and weight changes to insulin resistance, fertility and ovulation. Hannah also shares the first areas she encourages women with PMOS to look at — nutrition, lifestyle and their home environment and why understanding your own cycle can be especially important if getting pregnant is a goal. Plus, they discuss strength training and muscle, GLP-1 medications, blood sugar balance, and how to sort through the overwhelming amount of PMOS advice online.
Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed, are trying to understand unexplained symptoms, or simply want to learn more about PMOS, this conversation is a helpful place to start.

Breastfeeding can be beautiful, exhausting, frustrating, emotional and sometimes all of those things at once. I sit down with Legendairy Milk founder Luna Aziz to talk about her own difficult breastfeeding journey, struggling with low milk supply, triple feeding, pumping around the clock, and eventually realizing that the advice she was getting simply wasn’t working for her. 
  
Luna shares how an adverse reaction to fenugreek pushed her to explore the herbal remedies used by women in her own family and cultures around the world — ultimately leading her to create Legendairy Milk. 
  
We also talk about the pressure and guilt so many moms feel around breastfeeding, pumping and formula, why postpartum support still falls short, and the importance of giving moms the education and tools to make the feeding choices that work best for them. 
  
Plus, we get into milk supply, pumping, clogged ducts, mastitis, flange sizing and some of the things no one really prepares you for before breastfeeding.

As kids get back into the swing of a new school year, it comes with lots of adjustments for them and us. Today, Jon Fogel returns to talk through some of our top questions about navigating change with kids.

Jon explains that transition moments are when kids tend to struggle, and that preparing for these transitions can help make things easier. He tells us that while the routine might change, we can be the constant that our kids can rely on while they adjust to new schedules or environments. Jon also reminds us that children are so adaptable. They might need a week or two, but they will get used to new routines and continue to thrive!

We all want to feel joy, but what does it really mean to be joyful? Kate Bowler joins us today to break down what joy really is.

Kate’s new book, Joyful, Anyway, explores what it means to be joyful and the fact that joy often comes into our lives alongside other emotions like grief and sadness. Today, Kate shares her definition of joy and happiness as well as how we can recognize the difference. We also dive into happiness as parents, and how moms don’t always need to be joyful to be good parents.
