#271 It’s Everyone’s Business! A Conversation with Abby & Ricki

About this episode

Today on the show, Dr. Stu and Blyss chat with documentary filmmakers, Ricki Lake & Abby Epstein. The two share their wisdom and passion in a timeless discussion about two of their most prominent documentaries, The Business of Being Born & Business of Birth Control. Although the former was released in 2008, many of the themes within the film still ring true today. Recognizing that younger generations are more conscious about what they put into their bodies, and that they often question the motives of the medical establishment, Ricki and Abby feel poised that the impact of their work will sustain for years to come.

  • The genesis of “The Business of Being Born”
  • The inspiration behind “Business of Birth Control”
  • How Stu’s practices have developed over time
