Join Dr. Stanton Hom as he welcomes Nidhi Seth, a traditional birth companion and registered herbalist from Toronto.

This episode is essential for anyone interested in natural birth, medical freedom, personal transformation, and understanding the challenges faced by birth workers during the pandemic.   Highlights: "Your family's health and freedom is your greatest investment."   "I was lucky to bring my ego down and say, you have to come back home, because you're going to lose your life."   "Birth was before all of this medical stuff. So we were kind of lost and indoctrinated."   "You get to see how strong a woman is. And I had never seen that, ever like. I've never seen this."   Timestamps:   0:00:00 introduction  0:09:35 Transition from Medical Education 0:22:21 COVID-19 Censorship 0:29:36 The Placenta Video 0:35:00 Vaccine Impact on Placental Health 0:44:28 Spiritual Awakening 0:48:04 Sovereign Birth Community 0:54:30 Speaking Truth 1:07:45 Future of Birth Work   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About   Nidhi Seth is the founder of Pure Sacred Roots, a sanctuary for women seeking a sovereign, informed, and sacred birthing experience, where the feminine is deeply nurtured through holistic care, spiritual wisdom, and luxurious aesthetics.
