JOIN ELEVATED GP: theelevatedgp.com Should you perform a pulpotomy, a direct pulp cap, or a full root canal on a mature tooth with deep caries? Endodontist Dr. Judy McIntyre gives general dentists a candid, practical guide to vital pulp therapy, when a preoperative CBCT is essential, what separates a well-done root canal from a compromised one, and how to know your limits and build a real partnership with your endodontist. In this episode, you'll learn: What vital pulp therapy is and isn't, from open-apex teeth to mature adult teeth Why preoperative symptoms matter when choosing between vital pulp therapy and root canal therapy Her pulpotomy technique: diamond bur, hemostasis, sodium hypochlorite, and a bioceramic or MTA cap Why you lose cold testing after vital pulp therapy, and the follow-up system to catch failures early Annual radiographs on endo-treated teeth and pulp testing before crowns When a preoperative CBCT is a must: molars, retreatments, apicoectomies, premolars with fast breaks, and two-canal canines Endo-resolution CBCT versus large field of view scans, and why she dislikes image filters Minimally invasive and ninja access cavities: when conservation stops serving the patient Avoiding the cowboy mentality and building a reciprocal relationship with your endodontist The elements of a well-done root canal: anesthesia, rubber dam, full armamentarium, irrigation, obturation, and a sealed restoration Single-cone technique versus lateral and hybrid obturation, and why bioceramic sealer should not replace gutta-percha Questions answered in this episode: Pulpotomy, pulp cap, or root canal on a mature tooth with deep caries? It depends on symptoms, your true abilities, and whether the patient will return for follow-up. Frank expectations and a recall system are essential. Which endo cases need a preoperative CBCT? Dr. McIntyre recommends it for all molars, retreatments, and apicoectomies, and for premolars or anteriors when 2D imaging shows fast breaks, curvature, or resorption. Is the single-cone technique acceptable? Yes, when the cone intimately fits the prepared canal. Sealer is a vehicle, not the filling, and gutta-percha keeps the canal retreatable. About the guest: Dr. Judy McIntyre is an endodontist and educator who teaches general dentists about CBCT, vital pulp therapy, and endodontic setup, and is known for encouraging GPs to love their endodontists. Hosted by Dr. Melissa Seibert, DMD, MS, FAGD, ABGD. The Dental Digest Podcast is a top 1% podcast for general dentists focused on clinical dentistry: restorative dentistry, occlusion, endodontics, implants, imaging, and practice growth.

The conversation explores how earlier testing can give women more information and more choices.AMH is one piece of the fertility puzzle. Understanding ovarian reserve can help women make more informed decisions about their reproductive timeline and options.Birth control does not appear to cause long-term infertility. Dr. Crawford explains that research has not shown a long-term difference in conception rates after stopping the pill, while noting that hormonal birth control can affect how certain fertility markers are interpreted.You can see a fertility specialist before experiencing infertility. Fertility specialists can help women understand ovarian reserve, discuss egg freezing, and identify potential issues before someone begins trying to conceive.Guest Bio: Dr. Natalie CrawfordDr. Natalie Crawford is a reproductive endocrinologist, fertility specialist, educator, podcast host, and author of The Fertility Formula.

Afzal Haque joins Payman as a specialist endodontist and owner of Stretford Road Dental Practice, along with its referral clinic M41 Indo, in South Manchester, having spent ten years as a general dentist before making the switch.He talks candidly about hating endodontics as a young dentist, the wife who talked him into rotary instrumentation and then, years later, into selling their house to fund three years of specialist training in Liverpool. There's a properly moving stretch on the sacrifice that decision demanded of his young family, and on the culture of fear he encountered as an undergraduate that still shapes how he teaches today.This is also a masterclass in referral dentistry: building trust with generalists, pricing endodontic treatment simply, and why the happiest dentists are the ones who communicate well rather than the ones who never make mistakes.Expect sharp thinking on bioceramics, root canal myths, AI in the surgery, and a properly honest account of growing up as the only brown kid in his primary school class.

If you’ve spent years being told that endometriosis is “just bad periods” or that the pill will fix it, this episode is going to reframe everything.Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and takes an average of 7 to 10 years to diagnose. But what most doctors never tell their patients is that endo is not simply a hormonal imbalance. Research has confirmed it is an autoimmune condition, characterized by impaired natural killer cell function, T-regulatory cell dysfunction, and chronically elevated inflammatory cytokines. It is also a mitochondrial disease — with measurable dysfunction in the energy-producing machinery inside every cell. In this deep-dive episode, Dr. Deb covers: Why oral contraceptives do not treat endo — and how they systematically deplete CoQ10, magnesium, B vitamins, and raise SHBG in ways that can persist long after stopping the pill Why oral estrogen is the wrong HRT choice for women with endo history and what the research actually says about transdermal delivery The truth about hormone allergies — a real, documented, and profoundly underdiagnosed immune condition that Dr. Deb’s clinic is one of only three in the country treating How Low-Dose Immunotherapy (LDI) can restore immune tolerance to your own hormones A comprehensive integrative toolkit: evidence-supported supplements, botanicals, and investigational peptides that address endo at its actual biological roots How to do bioidentical HRT safely and intelligently with an endo history This is the episode every woman with endo or suspected endo needs to hear.

This episode looks at bisphenols and the thyroid, asking questions such as: What is BPA? Where is it found? And what do we know about the possible health risks regarding exposure to it? Host Aaron Lohr talks with Kailey Caroland, a cancer biology PhD candidate at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, about her ENDO 2026 abstract on the topic titled, "Bisphenol A, and Alternative Bisphenols S, F, Increase Proliferation and Growth of Thyroid Follicular Epithelial Cells and Disrupt Thyroid Histology."

Episode Title: Demystifying Molar Endo: Metallurgy, Apex Locators, and Safe Canal Negotiation Host: Dr. Melissa Seibert (Dental Digest Podcast) Guest: Dr. Matt Chesler, DDS, MS (Board-Trained Endodontist & Resident Faculty at Spear Education) Episode Summary For many general practitioners, molar endodontics presents high anxiety before ever reaching a canal . Staring into an access preparation, searching for the pulp chamber, and worrying about over-drilling or ledging can cause significant stress . In this episode, Dr. Matt Chesler breaks down these fears by sharing practical, evidence-based approaches to modern instrumentation, glide path creation, working length determination, and retreatment decision-making . Dr. Chesler discusses why hand files are often the true culprit behind ledges, how modern reciprocating files offer a safer envelope of motion, why apex locators far outperform 2D radiographs, and why coronal sealing and high-quality restorations dictate long-term success . Key Discussion Topics & Timestamps — Introduction & Elevated GP Study Club Overview of Dr. Matt Chesler's background and the Elevated GP virtual study club . — File Metallurgy & The Hand File Myth Debunking misconceptions around rotary file ledging . How active-tip C-files create apical zips, ledges, and transportation . — Glide Path Formation & Reciprocating Files Transitioning away from hand files as early as possible (#8 or #10 hand file) . Using reciprocating glide path files (e.g., WaveGlider) and dynamic movement protocols . — Orifice Openers & Hunting for MB2 How orifice openers (e.g., Dentsply Gold Sx) straighten 45-degree entry angles . Techniques for brushing outward toward line angles and locating tight MB2 canals . — Working Length: Apex Locators vs. Radiographs Why the anatomic apex and radiographic apex fail to coincide in 88% of cases . Modern Electronic Apex Locator (EAL) accuracy (100% within $pm 1text{ mm}$) vs. 2D radiographs (65%–84%) . Why obturation outcomes are 15% higher when kept short or flush rather than long . — Chemical Negotiation & EDTA Usage Using liquid EDTA early in calcified canals to deliver files without damaging root dentin . Viewing endodontics simply as "a really deep Class 1 filling" . — Orifice Barriers & The 45-Day Re-Contamination Rule Material choices for coronal seals (Fuji Triage / dual-cure Glass Ionomer) . Managing exposed gutta-percha and why 45 days is Dr. Chesler's go/no-go threshold for retreatment . — Selective Retreatment & Restorative Priority When to perform selective retreatment (treating the MB root alone for missed MB2s) . Why good restorations with suboptimal endo out-perform good endo with bad restorations . — Systemic Health Impacts & Closing Remarks Research from King's College showing endodontic treatment lowers systemic biomarkers (blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol) . Key Takeaways 1. Hand Files Are Often the Cause of Ledging, Not Rotaries Ledges and apical transportation frequently result from improper hand file use (e.g., using active-tip C-files without pre-curving) rather than modern rotary or reciprocating files . Moving to mechanized instrumentation early creates a safer and more forgiving outcome . 2. Trust Your Apex Locator Over 2D Radiographs Radiographs fail to show the true anatomic apex in roughly 88% of cases . Modern electronic apex locators offer near 100% accuracy within $pm 1text{ mm}$ . Keeping obturation short or flush is 15% better for outcomes than overextending past the apex . 3. Orifice Openers Save Time and Dentin An orifice opener combines multiple Gates Glidden sizes into one file . Brushing outward toward line angles straightens canal entry and facilitates MB2 location without excessive tooth structure removal . 4. The Coronal Seal Drives Success A well-restored tooth with average endo has a higher long-term success rate than perfect endo with a leaking restoration . Exposed gutta-percha re-contaminates quickly; if open to oral fluids past 45 days, retreatment should be strongly considered . 5. Systemic Health Benefits Resolving endodontic infections directly improves systemic biomarkers, including measurable reductions in blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels .

PelviCon '26 speaker Amy Stein has been one of the pioneers of modern pelvic health.She founded Beyond Basics Physical Therapy, one of the largest cash-based pelvic health practices in the country, authored the groundbreaking books Heal Pelvic Pain and Beating Endo, and has spent more than two decades helping shape the future of pelvic rehabilitation. In this conversation, we talk about how far our profession has come—from a time when there were only a handful of pelvic health courses available to today, where thousands of clinicians are entering the field every year.We also dive into:✅ How Amy built Beyond Basics into one of the country's premier pelvic health practices✅ Why collaboration—not competition—is the future of pelvic health✅ What's changing in our understanding of endometriosis✅ Why every patient deserves a multidisciplinary team✅ The importance of mentorship and lifelong learningAmy will also be joining us at PelviCon 2026 to present two incredible sessions:

Estrogen receptor positive breast cancer (ER+ BC) is the most frequently diagnosed subtype of BC with consequent highest mortality. For patients with ER+ BC, standard of care treatments are endocrine therapies targeting ER expression and activity or aromatase inhibitors that block synthesis of estrogens from adrenal androgens. However, it is estimated that nearly 33% of all patients with ER+ BC will relapse within 15 years, underscoring the need for additional therapeutic optionsThis episode focuses on the role of androgen receptors in breast cancer, as it takes a look at an abstract presented at ENDO 2026, titled, The Impact of Androgen Receptors on Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer Microenvironments. Host Aaron Lohr talks with the presenter of that abstract, Dr. Dillon Boulton, PhD, Postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Jennifer Richer at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

This program reviews challenges in diagnosis and management of acromegaly, with an emphasis on earlier recognition and informed clinical decision-making. Faculty discuss heterogeneity of disease presentation and key triggers that should prompt biochemical testing. Guideline-informed strategies for treatment selection, sequencing, and optimization are reviewed for patients with partial disease control, persistent symptoms, or comorbidities. The activity also examines disease burden, therapeutic inertia, and emerging treatment options, including oral therapies, with a focus on individualized care for patients with acromegaly in endocrine practice.=

Dr. Mike Hart welcomes Ksenia Petrushkina back for a wide-ranging conversation about using hormones, GLP-1 medications, and peptides more thoughtfully. They explore why lower, individualized doses of tirzepatide may improve tolerability, which blood markers should be monitored during treatment, and how progesterone may support sleep through its effects on GABA. They also discuss women's hormone replacement therapy, personalized testosterone dosing, TRT and fertility, thyroid treatment, low-dose naltrexone, and the difference between evidence-based peptide use and exaggerated online claims. Ksenia Petrushkina is a clinician whose work focuses on hormone optimization, peptide therapy, metabolic health, and highly individualized treatment. Through comprehensive blood testing, symptom assessment, careful dose adjustments, and ongoing patient monitoring, she helps men and women better understand how hormones, medications, and peptides may affect their energy, sleep, inflammation, fertility, body composition, and long-term health. Her approach challenges standardized protocols and social-media biohacking trends, emphasizing personalized medicine, responsible prescribing, and evaluating one intervention at a time.   Quick Coherence Technique — HeartMath https://help.heartmath.com/introduction/quick-coherence-technique/ The Levels of Ghrelin, Glucagon, Visfatin and GLP-1 Are Decreased in the Peritoneal Fluid of Women with Endometriosis — Aleksey M.

For years, women with endometriosis were told their pain was normal. By the time they try to conceive, the disease can have progressed to be a real problem.Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Dr. Farideh Bischoff, Chief Medical Officer, and Penny Wan, co-founder and chairwoman of HerAnova, to talk about their new innovative blood test that can detect endometriosis without surgery.You'll learn why 40% of infertility cases are linked to endometriosis.Retrograde menstruation happens in every woman, so why do only some develop endo? Dr. Bischoff gets into what we still don't understand about this disease.A big takeaway is to realize that pain is not normal. We talk about what happens when it gets dismissed and what that costs women later on.We also get into what the HerResolve test looks for in your blood and why a 97% accuracy rate is a big deal.And why catching this early, even in your teens, can change everything about a woman's reproductive future.This episode is for you if:you've had painful periods and been told it's normalyou've had failed IVF transfers with no clear explanation whyyou've been bounced between specialists and still don't have a diagnosisyou're heading into a frozen embryo transfer and wondering if your body is readyyou're a provider who wants to offer your patients something more you know someone who is suffering Support your fertility journey with Preconception Plan at Health Youniversity.

Audrey DeGuerrera was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2022 while working as a management consultant at McKinsey, averaging 80-hour weeks and traveling four days a week. The physical demands were a lot, but it was the mental load of suddenly living with a chronic condition that hit hardest. When she turned to her endocrinologist for support, they offered antidepressants. That's when she started questioning whether the healthcare system was built to actually support people with T1D, or just manage them.Now pursuing her MBA at Stanford's Graduate School of Business and a former Risely coaching client, Audrey attended this year's American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions and left with a lot of insights and questions she brought to the conversation. In this episode, she and Lauren dig into why 70% of US counties have no endocrinologist, why only 1 in 4 people with diabetes are meeting their care targets, and why insurance companies aren't incentivized to fix any of it. Audrey also shares what's giving her genuine hope, and why she believes team-based care could be the most important shift the diabetes world makes in the next decade.WHAT WE COVER:Being diagnosed with T1D in the middle of 80-hour weeks at McKinsey, and what happened to her insulin needs when she finally leftThe statistics from ADA 2026 that stopped Audrey in her tracksWhy the endocrinologist shortage isn't just a rural problem, and who it's actually affectingThe reason insurance companies aren't built to care about your long-term T1D outcomesThe single change Audrey believes could shift the entire diabetes care ecosystemWhere AI fits- and where it doesn't-in the future of T1D careWHAT'S NEXT:

Sugar-Free Diets Disrupted Gut Microbiome and Metabolism A 16-week sucrose-free, low-fat diet study presented at ENDO 2026 found mice developed insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, gut microbiome imbalance, intestinal inflammation, and fatty liver disease signs despite no weight gain or calorie difference. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why eliminating sugar entirely may be more detrimental than previously thought, the gut-bacteria-to-metabolism cascade that explains the metabolic damage, and why balanced nutrition matters more than simply removing sugar from your stack. Sources: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260614011843.htm https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/how-eliminating-sugar-may-alter-the-gut-microbiome-mouse-study https://nypost.com/2026/06/13/health/going-sugar-free-can-mess-with-your-gut-and-metabolism/ ~~ Taurine Did Not Boost Acute Aerobic Performance A randomized, triple-blind, cross-over study of 16 physically active young adults found acute 1-gram taurine ingestion one hour before exercise produced no significant improvements in peak oxygen consumption, time to exhaustion, respiratory compensation point, or lipid/glycolytic metabolism variables. Host Dave Asprey explains why taurine remains popular in energy drinks and pre-workouts despite limited scientific evidence, what dosages and activity types future research should test, and why a reality check on a billion-dollar supplement category is exactly the kind of truth biohackers need. Sources: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42268287/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260611024609.htm ~~ Copper Therapy Improved Memory and Reduced Alzheimer's Proteins in Mice Lab trials from Monash University published in ACS Chemical Neuroscience found Cu(ATSM), a copper-delivery compound, increased P-glycoprotein abundance by 24.1 percent at the blood-brain barrier, reduced toxic amyloid-beta by 42 percent over 56 days, and improved spatial learning by nearly 44 percent in an Alzheimer's mouse model. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why repairing the brain's waste-clearing pump is a potential new therapeutic avenue for neurovascular dysfunction, why Cu(ATSM) has strong potential to fast-track into human clinics since it's already tested for Parkinson's and ALS, and why biometal therapies like this could be the next frontier in Alzheimer's treatment.

Host Dave Asprey explains why socioeconomics became “biologically embedded” in preteen brains, how sleep-stress-screen circuits alter wakefulness and alertness, and why earlier studies focusing on IQ or mental health without accounting for environment may require reevaluation. Sources: https://www.npr.org/2026/06/11/nx-s1-5849937/child-brain-development-stress-sleep-neighborhood-economics https://abcdstudy.org/ ~~ Strength Training Sweet Spot for Longevity Is 90–120 Minutes Per Week A 30-year observational study of 147,374 participants published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found 90–119 minutes per week of strength training delivered 13 percent lower all-cause mortality, 19 percent lower cardiovascular mortality, and 27 percent lower neurological mortality, with no additional benefit above 120 minutes. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why more isn't always better when it comes to resistance training, why combining strength with aerobic exercise dropped mortality risk by 45–58 percent at highest levels, and why 15–20 minutes a day or 30–40 minutes three times weekly is the minimum effective dose for longevity.

Seven years. That is the average time it takes for a woman to receive a correct endometriosis diagnosis while being told her debilitating pain is "normal". I lived this story from the age of 12, becoming an expert not in HR, but in the invisible management of my own suffering while performing "normal" for the world. After 10 surgeries and a hysterectomy at 30, I've learned that this isn't just a reproductive issue; it's a systemic, whole-body inflammatory condition that rewires the brain and nervous system. It's a biological strain that many of our high performers are carrying quietly in the background of your organizations every single day. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the intersection of health and change management. We talk about the "invisible labor carriers"—the women in your teams who absorb the emotional weight of organizational uncertainty while managing chronic pain and neuroinflammation they haven't even named yet. If we want to keep our best people, we have to stop asking them to push through the impossible. It's time to move beyond standard wellness perks and start designing organizations that actually hold the human experience in all its complexity.

'Why Do I Still Have Pain After My Endo Surgery?' This can be such a frustrating (and complex) situation that so many people with endometriosis find themselves in...but why?I'm sharing this excerpt from the endometriosis updates in my online Female Pelvic Pain Rehab course - mainly because I've heard it so many times over the years, both from patients and the clinicians who are trying to help them.There's actually been some interesting new research looking at why this happens and how we can actually help people restore quality of life and improve THEIR functional goals, so I really wanted to make this available even if you're not a student on this course (but if you work with people who have pelvic pain diagnoses like endometriosis, vulvodynia, dyspareunia...I hope you'll consider joining us!)There are so many potential drivers of abdominopelvic pain that can amplify endometriosis associated pain, along with central sensitisation and pelvic floor dysfunction, including issues like IBS, neuropathic pain, hernias, hip problems and more.I hope you find this excerpt from the course helpful AND if you're listening to this episode before the end of June... you can use the code JUNE26 at checkout for a €100 discount on any of my online courses, from Female Pelvic Pain Rehab to The Menstrual Detective, The Menopausal Toolbox and more.

***SPOILERS*** If you haven't seen the movie yet, this episode is full of spoilers! But for those of you who have seen the movie, this is a very special recap with a very special guest host! We discuss our thoughts and opinions on the movie as a whole, some of the characters we see (both new and old), some of the movie's easter eggs, as well as share personal stories about our love of Mando and his faithful sidekick, Grogu. This is a shorter episode, and the audio may sound a little different at times, but we promise it's a fun one! SHOW NOTE: after this episode is released, MTK will be going on a brief hiatus (about 2 weeks). We'll be back with more bi-weekly content once we return. Additional show note: LeeAnn mistakenly says "Endo" instead of "Embo", so don't hold it too much against her. Between saying Mando and Embo a dozen times, it was bound to get jumbled up at some point!

Model, entrepreneur, and new mom Analicia Chaves (aka Ana Montana on socials) joins Ali to share the fertility journey that led her to motherhood—and the mission that grew from it.Ana opens up about her experience with infertility and IVF, revealing how little she knew about fertility challenges before facing them herself. "I didn't even know infertility was a thing until it happened to me," she says. While her friends seemed to be getting pregnant naturally, Ana found herself navigating a world of uncertainty, fear, and overwhelm.She shares her struggles with endometriosis, heavy bleeding, and painful periods—symptoms she once assumed were simply a normal part of being a woman—as well as the many lifestyle changes she made while trying to conceive, from giving up alcohol and changing her diet to acupuncture, lymphatic massages, and finding support and education through TikTok's TTC community.Ana also discusses launching I AM FERTILITY, a foundation dedicated to supporting others on their family-building journeys. She shares details about the foundation's first initiative, the HOPE Grant Program, which will award two hopeful mothers $5,000 each toward IVF treatment.For more info, go to https://iamfertility.co/IG: @iamfertilitynonprofitEPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.

Rotary or reciprocating files — which should you actually be using? Is one safer than the other? Does reciprocation really reduce file separation? Are you choosing your system because it suits the canal anatomy, or because it is simply the one you were taught? Endodontic file systems can feel like a maze of brands, tapers, alloys, motions and marketing claims. But beneath all that noise, the real question is much more practical: what is your file doing inside the canal, and what compromise are you accepting? In this episode, Dr Samuel Johnson returns to unpack the Endo Showdown: rotary versus reciprocating files. We cover file motion, glide paths, shaping philosophy, NiTi metallurgy, cyclic fatigue, torsional fatigue, and why no system is perfect. https://youtu.be/HfWDBbNgjsA Watch PDP270 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl A palliative root canal can be useful for an unrestorable tooth if disinfecting the canal allows infection to heal and natural bone to recover before extraction and future implant planning. ⚠️ Do not dismiss root canal treatment purely because the tooth is not a long-term functional restoration. ✅ Where appropriate, consider whether endodontic disinfection could improve the future implant site by allowing natural bone healing. Key Takeaways The purpose of shaping is not simply to scrape canal walls; it is to create space for irrigant flow. Irrigation is the most important part of root canal disinfection. Rotary files move in a continuous 360-degree rotation. Reciprocating files cut in one direction and reverse before excessive stress builds up. Modern reciprocation is designed to cut, release and gradually progress apically. File choice is not just about motion; metallurgy, taper, design and operator experience all matter. NiTi hand files with strong shape memory may be problematic in curved canals because they want to straighten. Martensitic heat-treated files are more flexible and can better follow canal curvature. Unwinding flutes are a warning sign that a file may be close to separation. Inspect files regularly during treatment, especially in curved, calcified or difficult canals. A glide path is essential before introducing larger rotary or reciprocating files. Without a glide path, a shaping file may create its own path, risking ledging, transportation or perforation. “Grabby” files pull themselves into the canal; this can be useful in experienced hands but risky if forced. Reciprocating systems can feel simpler and safer, but they are not foolproof. Cyclic fatigue happens when a file repeatedly bends around a curve until microcracks form. Torsional fatigue happens when part of the file binds while the motor continues to turn.

If you're listening to this episode, chances are you or someone you love is struggling with a hormonal, inflammatory, reproductive, or chronic pain condition like endometriosis or PCOS/PMOS… I know firsthand how exhausting and frustrating it can be to get proper care, and how much these conditions can impact your life, from pain and fertility struggles, to metabolism issues, bloating, and the impact on your physical and mental health. The good news? Women's health conversations are finally starting to change around conditions that have historically been dismissed, minimized, or misunderstood. In this episode, I'm joined by renowned gynecologist and gynecologic surgeon Dr. Karen Tang to unpack the truth about endometriosis and PCOS (now more accurately named PMOS — Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. This interview is packed with validating, practical, and empowering information that every woman deserves to hear. We dive deep into the symptoms, root causes, inflammation, hormones, fertility struggles, diagnosis delays, treatment options, and evidence-based lifestyle interventions that can actually help women living with these issues. Dr. Tang explains why endometriosis is far more than “bad period pain,” how it can affect the entire body, and why it often takes women an average of 7–11 years to receive a diagnosis. We also cover PCOS/PMOS as a metabolic and hormonal disorder (not just a fertility condition) including insulin resistance, blood sugar dysregulation, and long-term health risks. Dr. Tang is a leader in reproductive health, has taught medical students and residents at institutions like Harvard and University of Pennsylvania, and she reaches millions of viewers on her social media channels where she explains gynaecology, pelvic pain, and reproductive rights. She's the author of It's Not Hysteria, Everything You Need To Know About Your Reproductive Health (But Were Never Told). Tune in to learn about: The signs and symptoms of endometriosis and PCOS/PMOS Why women's pain is so often normalized or dismissed in healthcare The stages and severity of endometriosis Common triggers for endometriosis flare-ups Anti-inflammatory diets, supplements, and lifestyle changes that may help Fertility considerations for women with endometriosis and/or PCOS Why doctors prescribe birth control as a treatment Non-hormonal treatment options that can help address the root cause How to advocate for yourself when doctors dismiss your symptoms Follow Dr. Tang: https://thrivegyn.com/  https://www.instagram.com/karentangmd/?hl=en  Subscribe to my Substack:teachmehowtoadult.substack.comFollow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube

Hablo con la dietista-nutricionista Joana Segovia Olmo sobre el SIBO (Sobrecrecimiento Bacteriano en el Intestino Delgado)—qué es el SIBO y como se diagnostica y trata—como el SIBO es una condición comórbida común de endometriosis y por qué hay tanta prevalencia en las personas con endo

If you have endometriosis and you're thinking about your fertility, this is one of those conversations I really want you to hear.In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Shirin Khanjani, Consultant Gynaecologist and accredited subspecialist in reproductive medicine and surgery, to properly unpack what's actually going on when endometriosis and fertility collide.This chat comes off the back of the government's Renewed Women's Health Strategy, which has once again highlighted just how many women are still being dismissed, delayed, or left without answers. And when it comes to endometriosis, the reality is still pretty shocking. On average, it takes seven to eight years to get a diagnosis.So this episode is about what happens next. Once you finally have that diagnosis, what do you actually need to know?We talk through everything, from how surgery can affect your egg reserve, to why IVF isn't a one-size-fits-all approach for endometriosis patients, to the emotional weight of trying to navigate all of this at the same time.What we cover in this episodeWhy endometriosis has been one of the biggest gaps in women's health and how that is slowly starting to shift The many different ways endometriosis can show up, from period pain to IBS, fatigue, back pain and infertility Why diagnosis still takes years and what you can do to advocate for yourself What to ask for at GP level and how to push for proper investigations The nuance around surgery and when it can help fertility or potentially reduce egg reserve What happens to ovarian reserve when chocolate cysts are removed Why fertility preservation, like egg or embryo freezing, should be considered before surgery in some cases How endometriosis changes IVF protocols and why specialist care matters The impact of fluid-filled tubes on implantation and when surgery becomes necessary The emotional and psychological toll of managing endometriosis alongside fertility treatment Why continuity of care makes such a difference to outcomes Common misconceptions around natural conception with endometriosis Why waiting too long without investigation can cost valuable reproductive time The impact of endometriosis in the workplace and why awareness still matters Why endometriosis and IVF is not one-size-fits-allOne of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that standard IVF pathways don't always apply if you have endometriosis.Dr. Khanjani explains that specialist protocols often need to include:Managing oestrogen levels carefully during stimulation Navigating more complex egg collections due to scar tissue or cysts Using antibiotics during egg collection to reduce inflammation risk Supporting the body after collection to keep endometriosis under control Her advice is simple but important. When you walk into a clinic, ask directly if they have specific protocols for endometriosis patients. If they don't, that tells you something.Misconceptions we really need to clear upThere are a few things Dr. Khanjani is very clear on:You can still fall pregnant naturally with endometriosis. The chances may be lower, but it's not impossible Egg quality is not automatically worse. IVF outcomes can be comparable once eggs are retrieved Surgery is not always the first step. In some cases, it can delay treatment or reduce egg reserve Being told to “just keep trying” without investigation can waste valuable time There isn't one perfect pathway. Everything needs to be individualised About Dr. Shirin KhanjaniDr. Shirin Khanjani is a Consultant Gynaecologist and accredited subspecialist in reproductive medicine and surgery.She holds a PhD from Imperial College London and is an Honorary Associate Professor at University College London. In her NHS role at UCLH, she focuses on low ovarian reserve, recurrent implantation failure and endometriosis.She is also a co-founder of Fitzrovia Fertility, a London clinic built around genuinely personalised, evidence-based care.Find out more: https://fitzroviafertility.co.uk https://fitzroviafertility.co.uk/about-usWhy this conversation mattersI hear from so many of you who've been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or passed from one specialist to another for years.By the time you get to a fertility clinic, you're often already exhausted, anxious, and unsure who to trust.This episode is about helping you feel more informed and more prepared. So when you walk into those conversations, you know what to ask and what to look out for.This episode is for you if you are:Newly diagnosed and trying to understand what this means for your fertility Considering surgery and want to understand the impact on your egg reserve About to start IVF and unsure whether your clinic has the specialist knowledge needed Trying to conceive and being told to wait without investigation Supporting someone navigating all of the above Support and resourcesThe Fertility Podcast is the official podcast for Fertility Action, a charity providing education, support and campaigning for fairer access to fertility treatment.Fertility Action runs free drop-in support sessions twice a week.

Endo Kazutoshi spent decades climbing to the top of the culinary world, only for a devastating fire to threaten it all.

Tolkien famously described world history as a “long defeat,” since human efforts to overcome evil are ultimately doomed to failure. But the gospel still offers hope because of Christ’s ultimate victory. Endo’s novel, Silence, depicts the crushing challenges of bringing the gospel to Japan; Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev buckled under the horrors of Stalin’s Soviet regime and expresses his pain through his 7th Symphony. However, in different ways, both articulate hope against the odds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Does diet really make a difference for Endo? Let's bust a big myth: Endometriosis symptoms are not just hormonal — they are inflammatory. And that means diet does matter. A lot. In fact, the right foods can help ease pain and inflammation — and I'll explain exactly how in this episode, which is a recording of a webinar I ran at the beginning of 2026. 

Hello and also HOW can we be at the end of March already??!! In today's podcast, we are going down a nerdy research rabbit hole - ready? Let's go!As you probably know, March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and although we are only a quarter of the way through the year, there are already some noteworthy papers out there, from acknowledging the many issues people with endometriosis face, from dismissal and gaslighting to clinical diagnosis, assessment and pelvic rehab strategies - what the evidence actually is showing (some of it may surprise you!I'm going to talk through what these research papers are saying, why they matter and how we can use their findings to improve the care of people dealing with pain, fatigue, GI, MSK, urologic and neurological issues, as well as including nociplastic changes - and how the evidence is really supportive of a multimodal pelvic rehab approach, which we're talking about pelvic floor therapy, tens, movement or manual therapy - there's also some interesting implications for including telehealth options as part of our psychologically informed care...I'm in the middle of doing my regular research updates for my online Female Pelvic Pain Rehab course - I'm starting with the Endometriosis module but expect updates on vulvodynia, pudendal neuralgia and bladder pain syndrome...as well as how we can include a bio psychosocial approach to assessment and differential diagnosis, as well as an integrated treatment toolbox - if you're already enrolled, you'll get all the updates as they are released and if you're not...come and join the pelvic pain rehab conversation!

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we're digging into four common myths in the endo world that sound helpful but can actually keep your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight mode, making healing harder, not easier. If you've been doing everything "right" and still feel tense, inflamed, or reactive, this episode is for you.What We Cover:We start by breaking down what survival mode actually looks like: hypervigilance around food and symptoms, constant symptom tracking, fear of flare-ups, feeling like your body is the enemy, and muscle guarding. We also explore how chronic sympathetic nervous system activation contributes to pain, inflammation, and even fertility struggles.Then we tackle the four big myths:Myth #1: If you just eat clean enough, your endo will calm down. Myth #2: More discipline equals better results. Myth #3: Pain means something is wrong right now. Myth #4: You have to push through to stay strong. We wrap up with practical, actionable ways to start moving out of survival mode: eating with less fear and more gratitude, calming your nervous system when symptoms arise, building restorative habits, gentle consistency over perfectionism, and leaning on a support system rather than isolating.Resources mentioned:Ep. 129: Why Endometriosis Pain Doesn't Improve (Even With a Clean Diet) Subscribe to the Aligned to Rise Podcast: Apple | SpotifyConnect w/ Alyssa:InstagramWebsiteWork w/ Alyssa:Free Period Pain PlaybookAligned Period ResetWork with me 1:1Learn more about AlyssaDisclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.

It's Endometriosis Awareness Month. Ali's guest this week, Holly Abel, was eleven years old when her debilitating periods started. For decades, doctors told her it was “normal.” That she was dramatic. Hormonal. Sensitive. It wasn't normal. In early 2023, Holly was finally diagnosed with severe stage 4 endometriosis — affecting multiple organs throughout her body. Shortly after, she experienced a miscarriage. In December 2023, she underwent major surgery. Then in March 2024, after a routine HSG, everything began to unravel. By early May, she was in septic shock and given a 10% chance to live. In July, a total hysterectomy saved her life… and ended her ability to carry children. Holly talks about all of this and more in an educational, emotional episode about medical trauma, advocacy and survival.

"I think we're reaching a breaking point where people are starting to reflect and say, 'Man, I don't know if the juice is worth the squeeze anymore.'" — Dr. Paul Etchison Recorded live at Voices of Dentistry 2026 in sunny Gilbert, Arizona, Alan sits down with a VOD favorite, Dr. Paul Etchison of the Dental Practice Heroes podcast. They dive deep into the staggering reality of modern dental school debt, the "juice vs. the squeeze" of ownership, and why dentists should probably stay away from the restaurant business. The Debt Wall The financial landscape for new dentists has shifted dramatically. Alan and Paul compare the "then vs. now" of education costs: The 1997 Reality: Alan graduated with roughly $85,000 in debt. The 2009 Reality: Paul finished with around $235,000. The 2026 Reality: In-state tuition at schools like the University of Michigan can exceed $400,000 before living expenses, often resulting in $4,000–$5,000 monthly loan payments right out of the gate. Ownership: The Only Way Out? While ownership comes with "headaches," Paul argues it remains the most viable path to outrun massive debt. The Associate Cap: Even high-producing associates (doing $2M/year) are limited by their percentage. An owner doing the same production sees a significantly higher return. Value Creation: To be a top-tier associate or a successful owner, you must move beyond "bread and butter" dentistry and master communication and case presentation. Building Skills and Getting "Reps" Deep Dive vs. Scattershot: Instead of taking random weekend courses, find a specialty you enjoy (Endo, Ortho, etc.) and commit to it. The Endo Struggle: Paul and Alan discuss the importance of "reps" and why waiting for the "perfect" case often prevents you from ever getting good at the procedure. The Microscope Factor: Using a scope can find the MB2, but it doesn't necessarily make you faster without the volume of experience. The "Curated" Business Model If dentistry vanished tomorrow, what would these guys do? The Sausage and Bread Theory: Alan highlights small businesses in Northern Michigan that succeed through curation rather than volume. The Bourdain Warning: A nod to Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential, which famously warns dentists against buying restaurants just because they "throw a good party." Some links from the show: Paul's 3-Day Freedom Practice Workshop The Dental Practice Heroes Podcast Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain
