Over The Push Podcast

Welcome to the Push Pod, where we are pushing through the noise of women’s health with research, education, and compassion. Hosted by two Canadian healthcare professionals, Labor & Delivery Nurse, Sydney, and OB/GYN Dr. Meghan McGratten, this is your go-to women’s health show for real talk about women's health and zero shame. We tackle the most viral misconceptions and the overlooked health topics with science, empathy, and a fair bit of humor. Each week, we break down the facts behind women’s health issues across obstetrics, gynecology, reproductive health, and beyond, debunking myths, pushing back outdated norms, and correcting misinformation. We’re here to help you understand your body on your terms, because women’s bodies deserve clarity, not chaos.If you are a curious patient, a science nerd, girl mom, girl dad, or just a girl who has been personally victimized by TikTok science and wants real and honest information, we’re the pod for you!Disclaimer: The information shared in The Push Podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

aflevering How Medical Evidence Becomes Medical Advice with Dr. Fran artwork

How Medical Evidence Becomes Medical Advice with Dr. Fran

Why does medical advice sometimes seem to change, especially online? In this episode, Sydney and Dr. Meghan are joined by Dr. Fran Haydanek, from ⁨@PagingDrFran⁩ [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCXaxsdzo-HJ1NXNv0bFp9fw] , to break down how medical evidence actually becomes the recommendations your OB makes in the clinic. Together, they dive into why one study can go viral on social media, why different creators may interpret the same research differently, and how medical organizations develop guidelines over time. The conversation covers everything from the hierarchy of evidence and why not every study is created equal, to how professional societies like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada evaluate research before making recommendations. They also unpack why guidelines evolve, why two patients with the same condition may receive different care plans, and how listeners can better evaluate medical claims online. If you’ve ever wondered why medicine can feel confusing on TikTok or why your provider recommends something different than what you saw online, this episode is for you.

Swaddling, Safe Sleep & Postpartum Support: A Motherhood Story with Swaddelini Founder Liz Hilton

Safe newborn sleep is one of the most important—and overwhelming—topics for new parents. In this episode of The Push Podcast, we’re joined by Liz Hilton, mom of four, founder of Swaddelini, and creator of the documentary Holding Mother, to break down what safe sleep really looks like in real life. We talk about the gap between safe sleep guidelines and the reality of caring for a newborn, including sleep deprivation, anxiety, and the pressure parents feel to “get it right.” Liz shares her personal journey through four babies, how her approach to sleep evolved, and why supporting the mother is one of the most important (and overlooked) factors in safer sleep. This episode also covers the essentials every parent should know, including the ABCs of safe sleep, common mistakes, and how to create a safe sleep environment without fear or shame. We take a deeper look at swaddling—what’s safe, what’s not, when to stop, and how products like Swaddelini fit into current recommendations. If you’re expecting, in the newborn stage, or feeling overwhelmed by sleep advice online, this conversation will help you feel more informed, supported, and confident in making safer choices for your baby.

aflevering Twin Mom Life Unfiltered: Pregnancy Risks, Newborn Chaos & The Truth About “Bouncing Back” artwork

Twin Mom Life Unfiltered: Pregnancy Risks, Newborn Chaos & The Truth About “Bouncing Back”

What is it really like going from zero to two babies overnight? In this episode of The Push Podcast, I sit down with a Canadian creator, twin mom, and founder of Active Girls TO, Kristen, to talk about the unfiltered reality of twin pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. She shares her experience navigating a mono-di twin pregnancy, the challenges of a higher-risk journey, and what no one tells you about delivering and caring for two newborns at once. We also get into the mental load of motherhood, identity shifts, and the pressure to “bounce back”—especially in the fitness space. We unpack how social media shapes expectations versus what motherhood actually looks like behind the scenes, and what it’s really like balancing a business while raising twins. This is an honest, relatable conversation for anyone navigating motherhood, postpartum, or the transition into becoming a mom.
