Is there anything dietary on top of like the supplementation and herbs? Like what do you, I guess, especially considering how hard it can be for new mothers to find the time to come into the clinic, how do you get that support into their home for them?

Yeah.

So, you know, first things first, no skipping meals.

I think postpartum is rife with skipping meals and living on toast and tea.

So foundationally, nutrition is so important.

Having a very nutrient dense diet, getting enough protein, getting enough fiber, getting enough fats.

I'm always explaining about how like protein and fat or like the logs on a fire, they're going to give you that extended energy and blood sugar stabilization for the entire day.

And I'm just curious, have you noticed any connection between like vaginal dysbiosis and rougher postpartum experiences? And if so, what are they?

What happened at self checkout?

Oh (beep) Walmart.

Don't get greedy.

Look confused when you're looking at that receipt walking out those doors now and if you get stopped, "Just wondering why this only cost this." What? I'm fallible.

When I first met her in 2023, she was part of a community of drug users who lived around Rankin County who knew what it was like to be on the other side of the sheriff's department drug raids.

By June of 2024, Andy's health had taken a turn for the worse. Her cancer had spread, her legs had stopped working, and she was stuck in a hospital bed in Jackson. She knew that most of the deputies whose abuses we reported on hadn't been held accountable. Some even still work in law enforcement today. So for Andy, the guilty pleas, the sentencing, the added pressure on Bailey to resign, all of that wasn't enough. Do you feel satisfied with what you've done?

I just can't wrap my mind around certain (censored) you know, like, do the right thing. And I think that's what's wrong. Like, facing my mortality, I feel like, um, uh, Rankin County, they wanna say like, "We all have our moral compasses." I was a (censored) junkie. Excuse my language. There's certain things I'm not gonna do, certain things I would do. But be accountable, be responsible. You know what the (censored) is right and what's wrong.
