New episodes are released at the end of every month. Available on Spotify/Apple/Android and more.
Welcome to Cocooned Health, a podcast created by doctors and scientists, designed to empower you with knowledge on infection protective behaviours, medicines and immune boosting interventions during pregnancy and the newborn period. Our mission is to provide detailed information and reassurance, guiding you through the intricacies to understand the latest scientific research.
Cocooned Health is here to support you with clear, trustworthy information across a wide range of health topics. We gently unpack the evidence behind vaccine safety and effectiveness, explain why certain foods like some cheeses are best avoided during pregnancy, and share practical advice for travelling abroad. We also explore how the immune system changes over time, and help you understand when a fever in a child is something to worry about — and when it isn’t.
Everything we share is evidence-led and expert-backed, so you can feel informed, supported, and confident in the decisions you make for yourself and your family.
We believe in arming you with the information you need to make confident choices for yourself and your family.
Dr Eliz Kilich and Dr Lydia Yarlott
