About

This top 75 Parenting & Health Politics publication on Substack is about creating the conditions for happier, healthier outcomes in the birthing year—in spite of the many disruptions to our Natural biological processes created by the technology employed in most mainstream maternity care (and even in our own homes and workplaces). Written by yours, truly, Nikko Kennedy, for parents and practitioners who want to improve their experiences with giving and getting pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care.

Brighter Days, Darker Nights is an ad-free Substack publication complete with a 3 year post archive, multiple courses, classes and workshops, and rapidly growing community of parents and perinatal wellness practitioners.

“Such a great first lesson! And I really appreciate the recommended reading list! My ah-ahs: the synergistic relationship of melatonin and oxytocin to support an easier labor and the importance of a strong circadian rhythm in even pair bonding and gender differentiation. My question would be so do you feel like this may be playing a role into why there is such a high divorce rates as well as this emergence of gender fluidity because our circadian balance is so skewed?”
