#118 - Kyle Kingsbury: Exploring parenthood with a retired UFC fighter, from natural birth to unconventional parenting

Kyle Kingsbury is a retired mixed martial artist, husband, father of two children, and a Fit For Service facilitator who helps individuals reach their full potential. He is also a former Chief Optimization Officer at Onnit and has the same mentor as Paul Chek, founder of the CHEK Institute. Kyle and his wife Natasha opted for natural birth and avoided unnecessary ultrasounds for their first child's delivery despite being in a hospital setting. Kyle actively participated in the birthing process and helped the doctor position the baby's shoulders, which he recommended other fathers do. He emphasizes the importance of having a solid support system, including a doula, midwife, and experienced family members present during childbirth. Kyle acknowledges the challenges of the early weeks of fatherhood, including the constant demands of caring for a newborn, lack of sleep, and feeling overwhelmed. He shares the importance of caring for oneself to be a better father and partner and the lessons he learned about balance and patience. Kyle's experience as a new father has been transformative. The family initially struggled with sleep-training their first child, Bear, and decided to sleep with him, which helped them bond but was challenging for the first six weeks. Kyle's journey towards finding a balance between ancestral living and modern science led him to discover O Dil, a prescription that allowed him to work, spend time with his son, and maintain his health. This newfound balance led him to start podcasting and move his family to Vegas through a series of synchronicities.
