podcast guest
Nathan Riley, MD, is a board-certified OBGYN and hospice and palliative care physician. Through his holistic OBGYN practice, Beloved Holistics, PCA, he serves women and their families who are dissatisfied with the conventional medical model. He also has a collaborator program for coaches and alternative health practitioners to provide easy, affordable access to an MD consultant on women’s health and primary care issues. He specializes in fertility, pelvic pain, home birth, and health optimization at all stages of life, from birth to death, working with nature rather than against Her. He is a staunch advocate for medical freedom and personal responsibility, and his podcast is called The Holistic OBGYN.
It’s so rare to meet a gynecologist speaking the same language as myself and others in the holistic women’s health space, and I’ve been really looking forward to this conversation. In this episode, we talk about why Nathan felt called to shift to holistic practice, the problems with the conventional medical model, shocking statistics on pregnancy and birth interventions, modern-day witch hunts, how you can become your best healthcare advocate, and so much more!

A Nutrisense CGM is an incredible way to monitor your blood sugar levels in real-time and their app helps you see exactly how your diet and lifestyle specifically affect your blood sugar. I recently tried a Nutrisense CGM and it was a game-changer. It was amazing to see how my meals and specific foods were affecting me positively or negatively. There was a whole lot of experimentation while using it to see what worked best for me and some foods were real shockers. Now you can get a Nutrisense CGM and take $25 off your first month of service. This includes two CGMs to be used for two weeks each, the app, and a month of free dietitian support. That support is invaluable and the best part of the service.
