On this episode with Instinctual Mothering’s Andrea, the Truth Moms squad explores the history behind predatory formula marketing and the constant maternal pressure around feeding your baby. How does the intricate web of advertising tactics used by formula brands shape parenting choices? Second-guessing comes with motherhood, because let’s face it—it can’t be taught in a book**—**or a pamphlet. We all agree “fed is best,” but where does that term stem from, and what exactly was the original intent behind the message? The moms explore the history of formula and pediatrics, popular formula brands’ war on breastfeeding, why formula milk marketing might actually place more pressure on mothers, and how community—not shame, blame, or any advertising game—can help you make the best choice for your baby. Trust your gut—you’re going to want to tune into this one.

Truth Moms dive deeper into the world of functional medicine with friend and lifestyle coach Sheeva Rouhanifard Stephens, who through her unique root cause and holistic approach to lifestyle health for both body and brain goes beyond conventional methods, and is transforming lives.

The secret sauce to her success is creating personalized care that considers individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle. Her tailored training programs aim at empowering clients with knowledge and tools to maintain a balanced lifestyle. Sheeva explains from her own experience wellness is not a one-size fits all program, no matter what your favorite influencer says.
