Episode 02.04.2026 - How to Prevent Prenatal Infections with Michelle Rowton (Part 1)

SUMMARY

This week on The Dr. Ardis Show, Dr. Bryan Ardis is joined by pediatric nurse practitioner and birth advocate Michelle Rowton to kick off a critical conversation during International Prenatal Infection Prevention Month.

They dive deep into the fear-based messaging around prenatal infections like Group B Strep (GBS), Hepatitis B, toxoplasmosis, and listeria, and how much of what pregnant women are told is outdated, incomplete, or driven by pharmaceutical agendas.

Michelle unpacks the risks, the realities, and the natural support options available to expecting mothers, including colloidal silver, zinc, probiotics, and other immune-supporting tools. She also challenges widespread hospital protocols that rely on blanket antibiotic use and unnecessary interventions, often without informed consent.

If you're pregnant, planning to be, or simply want the truth about protecting mom and baby, this episode is essential.
