In this Ask Me Anything episode, I tackle three hot-button questions sent in by my audience — and nothing is off-limits.

From bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy to the controversial link between ultrasounds and ADHD, and finally how I biohack flights with a baby in tow, I dive deep into what the research says, what worked for her personally, and what to consider if you want a more holistic, informed pregnancy journey.
