Ep 48 Lady Leche
Lactation typically is either a home visit where the IBCLC comes to the client, or an office visit where the client comes to the IBCLC. Holly Johnson saw a problem in her area where too many families lived rurally and choosing one location for an office wouldn't serve each community. So Holly came up with a unique idea of creating a mobile lactation clinic, meaning that Holly comes part of the way, and clients come part of the way. Listen to hear more about how a mobile clinic works for this military wife IBCLC and the communities she serves.

Ep 45 Root Cause
In this episode Katie Oshita discusses how much of medicine in the Allopathic system is a band-aid model and treats everyone the same. If you go in for depression, they go to the same antidepressants regardless of who you are, they just go down a list. This method ignores the fact that there are many different causes for any issue, such as depression- low vitamin D, low Omega 3's, MTHFR, and so many more. Katie discusses how Functional Medicine is not about the disease but the root cause, the cellular function that is impaired, and the individual person. Katie also discusses how this relates to lactation- that instead of starting formula on a baby not gaining well at the breast, Katie discusses how finding the root cause, whether it's maternal hormone/supply related, baby tongue tie related or anything else is how to truly address issues and find wellness.

Ep 42 Dr Gary Myers
Timing of release isn't just a catch phrase, it's the MOST important part of deciding when to have a tongue tie release. Katie Oshita and Dr Gary Myers discuss how he started doing releases (spoiler alert: he was pushed into this space by Jennifer Tow), how his practice grew (crunchy mom referrals at first then eventually got some Pediatrician referrals). Dr Gary talks about what he usually sees with clients, how different babies are from adults and how there isn't 1 right way for everyone. Dr Gary also focuses on what he calls the 3 T's:
Tethers- anatomy- his job
Tension- bodywork space
Technique- Lactation space
Listen here for all the details from Katie and Dr Gary.
Podcast Guest: Dr. Gary Myers is a pediatric dentist in the Jacksonville, FL area. He graduated residency in 2001 from MCV in Richmond, VA.

Ep 38 Avery Young
In this podcast episode, Katie Oshita and Avery young discuss the blinding focus on tongue tie and oral function that is leaving many families in worse shape after support. First by not know know to immediately stop breastfeeding pain, too many families are rushed to release by providers- Avery Young strives to change this by teaching other IBCLC's all about how to engage baby's feeding reflexes for a deeper, pain-free latch. Then many families are still treated in this mono-focused way with other providers who support oral function, but know nothing about how to see and care for a dyad. Avery Young has created a visual to try and bring awareness to the importance of prioritizing parental and infant wellness and breastfeeding relationship above oral function. Listen as this and much more is discussed.
*Podcast Guest: * Avery Young is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant licensed by the state of Georgia who is on a mission to help change the way we latch and feed infants. She has master's degrees in both Biology and Science Education and has been in private practice as a lactation consultant since 2014.
She spent the first half of her career teaching Biology to anyone who would listen, from middle school through college. She began her practice as a lactation consultant in 2014, after the birth of her second child, with the goal of helping to empower families with the resources and confidence to make decisions that were right for their own families.
Her own journey into motherhood and her quest to understand the needs of her own neurodiverse family led her to a deeper study of infant reflexes, neurology, and brain plasticity. It was during this study that Avery began to understand the significance of reflexes and she began to observe and learn from babies during the latching and feeding process.
She began to notice that babies have a highly repetitive and predictable sequence of behaviors that occur during the latching process. She quickly realized that those sequences of behaviors - which she calls the Cascade of Feeding Reflexes - have a far bigger role than just helping an infant to latch. They also establish the foundation of movement.
By helping infants engage their feeding reflexes she believes we can change the developmental trajectory of an infant for the rest of their life, and her mission is to help everyone understand what those reflexes are, and how we can use them to make feeding better.
When she is not working, or researching answers to her own questions, Avery enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time in nature with her husband and three children, in their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.

Ep 34 We are Mammals
All mammals breathe air, all mammals give live birth. All mammals breastfeed their young. Humans are mammals, even tho we tend to forget it. Breastfeeding should be easy (cats don't worry about breastfeeding). Katie Oshita and Shaz Tayebi talk about how remembering that we are mammals can deeply change and impact our breastfeeding practices.
Podcast guest: Shaz Tayebi, IBCLC, brings her midwifery experience from Iran to her lactation career in Canada. She noticed there were much more breastfeeding challenges in her practice in Canada compared to rural areas of Iran, where they trust babies more than books, apps, instructions, etc. That’s why she created the documentary “We’re Mammals”!
“We’re Mammals” helps parents and healthcare providers understand newborn’s innate feeding behaviors*, a*cknowledge that the mammalian approach to breastfeeding is a failproof method (the reason we are not extinct) and identify barriers to trusting baby’s instincts.
