Informed Pregnancy Podcast

Dr. Elliot Berlin is a Los Angeles-based chiropractor who specializes in prenatal care, and he's been hosting the Informed Pregnancy Podcast since 2014 alongside perinatal psychologist Dr. Alyssa Berlin. Together they've produced close to 500 episodes that aim to deliver unbiased pregnancy and parenting information -- a tall order in a space where everyone seems to have a strong opinion about the "right" way to give birth. The format is interview-driven. Each Thursday, Elliot sits down with pregnancy and parenting experts, birth professionals, and new or expectant parents to discuss everything from prenatal nutrition and exercise to birth trauma recovery and infant sleep. He also brings in the occasional celebrity guest, which keeps the tone varied. What works well is Elliot's genuine curiosity -- he asks detailed follow-up questions and doesn't rush through topics to fit a tight runtime. Beyond the podcast, the Berlins have built out Informed Pregnancy Plus, a streaming platform with prenatal workouts, yoga flows, original series, and birth films. The podcast serves as the free entry point to that broader ecosystem, though it stands on its own without requiring a subscription to anything else. The show's decade-long track record means the archive is enormous. You can search by topic or guest to find episodes relevant to your specific concerns. If you appreciate hearing from a wide range of perspectives -- OBs, midwives, doulas, mental health professionals, and fellow parents -- without being pushed toward a single birth philosophy, this one delivers consistently.
