Helping Your Mammalian Body (and Baby!) Have an Easier and More Connected Birth: ” Dr. Sarah Buckley and Adriana take a deep dive into the amazing and fascinating hormonal dance that happens during the birthing process, and how interventions such as synthetic oxytocin or an epidural can lead to a cascade of interventions that negatively impact the process for both the birthing person and their baby. They also talk about ways to support the physiology of birth (regardless of what path it takes) in order to help fill any “hormonal gaps” that may occur.” Interview with Adriana Lozada of Birthful

Oxytocin, Hormonal Gaps & Better Birth Outcomes: “In this eye-opening episode, Monica is joined by Dr. Sarah Buckley, a renowned GP and academic researcher specializing in oxytocin and maternal care.

Your Body Through Birth & Creating An Ecstatic Birth: “That powerful activation of the reward and pleasure centres… It’s what I call Ecstatic Birth. Mother Nature wants you to have this incredible euphoric ecstasy when you meet your baby for the first time, because that’s what’s going to guarantee, in biological terms, the survival of the species. The dopamine centres in the brain that get switched on reward and motivate the mother to take care of the baby.” Holistic nutritionists podcast with Natalie Douglas

Maternal mammalian ecstasy: the ancient hormonal blueprint for optimal birth and bonding: “Through untold eons mammals have evolved a beautiful birth-giving physiology based around a complex cascade of hormones that are released during labor. We give both mother and baby the best chance at a peaceful, ecstatic birth and postpartum period when we remember and respect this ancient dance.” Interview with Amber Magnolia Hill of Mythic Medicine

The Amazing Design Hormonal Orchestration and Mammalian Instinct: “If you have ever felt nervous about natural birth or questioned your motherly instincts Dr. Sarah has a way of easing those fears with facts!

Covid-19: Your hormones are your helpers: How can we make the most of our body’s natural hormones to make birth as safe as possible in these times of Covid-19? Youtube interview with Debra Pascali-Bonaro

Love, Sex, Birth. Baby!: Youtube interview with Debra-Pascali-Bonaro for the launch of her book the Ultimate Guide to Sex After Baby!

Mt Isa Birth Stories Podcast: “Sarah discusses fascinating information surrounding our hormones in birth and how they play a role in attachment to our babies, as well as hormonal gaps and how epidurals can interfere with our hormonal flow in labour.” Interview with Sarah Swan

SheBirths: A deep dive into the amazing hormonal orchestration: “Dr Sarah Buckley explains the role of oxytocin and shares some new insights.”When the oxytocin reaches the uterus it finds the receptors, like a key into a lock, and sends a signal to say “contract”. In labour oxytocin levels go up somewhat and that makes labour a bit more receptive.” Interview with Nadine Richardson

The Significance of Nature’s Hormonal Blueprint for Labour & Birth Interview with Emily from Untaming: Rewild the Child

Maternal mammalian ecstasy: The ancient hormonal blueprint for optimal birth and bonding: “Through untold eons mammals have evolved a beautiful birth-giving physiology based around a complex cascade of hormones that are released during labor.

Stop, look and listen- your body is sending you messages!: “Like all mammals, human women have been giving birth spontaneously for millions of years. It is relatively recently that the birthing process has become what it is: complicated, medicalized, and scheduled. Despite much talk about “evidence-based practice,” there is relatively little evidence to justify the cascade of interventions that are imposed upon mothers during a hospital birth. Join Marie and Dr. Sarah Buckley as they discuss the state of modern birth. Stop—or at least hesitate— before you automatically agree to an elective cesarean birth, an artificial induction of labor, or the epidural that will almost certainly follow.” Interview for VoiceAmerica with Marie Biancuzzo of Born to be Breastfed.

Your hormones and the miracle of the first hour after birth “In this episode, we will cover: the 4 main hormones of birth and how each plays a role in “Mother Nature’s Superb Design” for mother-baby bonding and mother healing: how skin-to-skin, the baby’s the breast crawl and cord clamping are hormone mediated and can be affected if the natural hormonal cascade is interfered with during birth; the importance of the “Baby Moon” after birth – for both you and baby” Podcast with Dr Jay Warren

Dr Buckley talks hormones!“This riveting conversation about what a woman’s body needs in order to labour more easily and safely. The scientific evidence of the non-negotaible need for women to feel safe in labour is undeniable – but the advantages of natural labour and the labour hormones go far beyond the birth. “Empowering Motherhood interview for Blog talk Radio
