Can you expand on this?
Your book is fascinating and I see you don't just lay out the facts of how women in labor are treated in the U.S. today, but you also offer options and solutions for doctors, nurses and women to consider. Can you name a few here?
"Natural Labor and Birth" is written for both women who are expecting or planning to get pregnant and the medical community. It's a great crossover book. Tell our listeners where to purchase this book?

Melinda J. Kelly, who after a life in publishing took the step to put her own thoughts to ink. Finding Your Coach Diving Deep Within is her new book and she joins eHealth Radio and the Personal Development Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Melinda J. Kelly discuss the following:
What is a 'coach resister' and how do you know you are one?
What are examples of things we do that are counter intuitive to working with someone?
What differences do you see within volunteer organizations and corporate or business entities?
Why do be believe people resist when they say they want to work with someone or want change?
Why do you talk about success and happiness as two different things?
Tip: By embracing questions as we encounter them, we give ourselves permission to consider other ways to live, to be, who we are. We give ourselves power, comfort, clarity, that what we are doing is for us and what we believe in. Those are powerful things to know.
With a successful career in Melinda’s family business, it would have been easy to continue and gently ride into the sunset. But a combination of major life events – reviewing the future for the business, the direction of a key relationship, and a family member’s health issues - derailed those plans, lead to a reassessment of Melinda’s life as she had known it, had planned it.
Suddenly, there were new questions before Melinda. Lots of questions.
On her journey toward answers, Melinda was able to work with many thought leaders, coaches, as well as draw upon her experiences in non-profit volunteer work. Patterns and traits began to emerge, for herself, with others. As Melinda started to question herself, she found that the questions often brought great comfort and understanding. It is Melinda’s observations that became Finding Your Coach Diving Deep Within.

Annie Vonheim, the creator of Smart Pressed Juice, a juicing company that strives to make phytonutrients accessible to everyone joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Nutrition Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Annie Vonheim discuss the following:
How did Smart Pressed Juice originate?
What differentiates your brand from other choices consumers face?
How are the flavor combinations chosen?
What are some of the benefits of doing a detox cleanse?
What’s next on the superfood and ingredients horizon?
Annie Vonheim has a lifelong passion for healing. She worked alongside some of the top researchers in functional medicine to design health protocols for chronic disease management for medical clinics and hospitals all over the world. It was after 15 years of work in this field that she discovered that no matter how complex the protocol, the most powerful medicine in the world came from within the humble green vegetable. This is why she created Smart Pressed Juice- to make phytonutrients accessible to everyone.
Phytonutrients, or the superpowers within plants that protect them from disease and predators, translate to extraordinarily powerful health benefits when we consume them. All the research in health science will eventually point to phytonutrients, because at the end of the day, it's plants that heal us.
Smart Pressed Juice was created for those of us who don’t have enough time to get the widest variety of plants- because the vast array of the 25,000+ existing phytonutrients in nature don't all come in kale. Annie’s goal is to harness the extraordinary power of plants and to make a simple, organic solution for everyone to access, no matter where they are at in their health journey.
