About This Podcast
Hello and welcome to our podcast, The Doula & The Doc hosted by Vanessa Salerno, a birth and postpartum doula, as well as Dr. Joseph Sgroi, an obstetrician gynaecologist and fertility specialist. Together we'll be discussing a range of topics from pre-conception, pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. Together we combine holistic insights and medical expertise as we dive into women's and men's health with honest information and sometimes unexpected conversations. This podcast is where evidence meets experience so let's start the conversation.
