In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Adam Urato, a practicing Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist and Harvard-trained physician who is breaking the silence on what he has seen over decades of working with pregnant women and their babies.
Dr. Urato has been on the front lines of high-risk pregnancies, and what he has witnessed compelled him to compassionately speak up. He is now actively challenging the FDA to update the labeling on SSRIs (commonly known as antidepressants), due to their potential impact on fetal development.
But keep in mind, this conversation is not just for pregnant women.
It is for anyone who has ever trusted a prescription, followed medical advice without question, or wondered why our healthcare system continues to spend more while producing some of the worst outcomes among developed nations.
In this episode, we explore:
• The real risks of antidepressant use during pregnancy
• What the science actually says and why it is often buried
• How regulatory bodies and pharmaceutical companies shape the narrative
• Why informed consent is more critical than ever
• How the system is working for profits, not health
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to make truly informed choices about their body, their healthcare, and their family.
