About Us

Our Podcast

Needed Experts was created to bridge the gap between emerging research and clinical practice in women's health and perinatal nutrition. This podcast and continuing education platform exist independently from Needed’s product line.
 
Too often, practitioners are left to navigate complex, evolving topics without accessible, evidence-based professional development. That’s why we’ve brought together leading researchers, clinicians, and specialists for in-depth conversations that translate science into practice.
Each episode is designed with practitioners in mind, with actionable insights, clinical knowledge, and nuanced discussions that deepen your ability to support clients through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

By offering free continuing education credits, we're making it easier for busy practitioners to stay current and provide truly informed care without the barrier of cost or time-consuming conference travel. Education that fits into your life and directly enhances your clinical practice is needed.
