Why are so many women screaming through IUD insertions... and being told it's normal? In this episode of Pleasure Pathways, I'm sharing my own experience navigating the medical system to get an IUD—and asking the bigger question: If this pain is so common, why isn't anyone doing more about it? We'll dig into the lack of pain management, the privilege gap in reproductive healthcare, and why men are offered Valium for vasectomies while women are handed ibuprofen and told to “just breathe.” We'll talk about how systemic misogyny, outdated research standards, and class bias all shape the care we receive—and why advocating for our bodies is often met with silence. This episode is personal, emotional, and absolutely necessary—because too many of us have been taught to be grateful for care that ignores our pain. And we're not doing that anymore. Whether you love your IUD, hate it, or you're somewhere in between—this conversation matters.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.com

Unveiling Hormone Secrets: Balancing Health with Dr. Edward Eckert Hormonify.com About the Guest(s): Dr. Edward Eckert is a renowned expert with over 30 years of experience in women's health and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. A board-certified OB-GYN by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Eckert received his training at Emory University, the University of Florida, and New York University's affiliated hospital. He graduated from the Medical College of Wisconsin and founded the Menopause Institute in 1994 to delve into menopause research. Dr. Eckert later created HormoneModify.com to focus on personalized bioidentical hormone treatments. Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of the Chris Voss Show, Dr. Edward Eckert shares his wealth of knowledge on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and the intricacies of balancing hormones for both men and women. The discussion delves deep into the flawed perceptions and misinformation surrounding menopausal symptoms and hormone imbalances that prevail even in today's medical practices. Dr. Eckert candidly demystifies concepts like perimenopause and underscores the critical nature of hormone balance at all ages. Dr. Eckert provides a comprehensive look at the realities of hormone imbalances and the impact on both physical and mental health. He explains how he dedicated years to develop scientifically-backed, individualized hormone treatments. This fascinating dialogue explores how imbalanced hormones can manifest as anxiety, depression, weight issues, and more. Dr. Eckert also shares insights into the influences of external factors like diet and environment on hormone levels, calling attention to modern issues of early menstruation and diminished hormone production due to environmental estrogens. Key Takeaways: Dr. Eckert highlights the inadequacies in traditional hormone treatment methods and emphasizes the need for personalized, well-researched approaches. Hormone imbalances can contribute to a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, mood disorders, osteoporosis, and more, impacting overall health dramatically. The podcast underscores the importance of monitoring hormone levels for both men and women as early as their late 20s if symptoms arise, despite common misconceptions about age-related norms. Environmental influences significantly affect hormone levels, with newer studies indicating the impact of multiple COVID-19 vaccinations on premature hormone deficiencies. Dr. Eckert offers a fresh perspective on menopause and urges individuals to seek expert evaluations to properly address their hormone health concerns. Notable Quotes: "In reality, I see problems that occur could be from adolescent years that progress onto the young reproductive years… there's a trend, and the trend is the ratios of hormones that exist." "What we really do differently is that I spent about 10 years researching the whole aspect of what it takes to balance a woman's hormones." "We have literally tens of thousands of patients all over the world." "We eliminate stage two, three, and four breast cancer. We have zero in 30 years." "One of the most common reasons women come in to see us is that their husbands or boyfriends tell 'em they can't have sex with them."

In this groundbreaking conversation, "The Conscious Gynecologist" Dr. Andrea Salcedo joins Dr. Philip Ovadia to uncover the profound connection between women's reproductive health and metabolic health. Dr. Salcedo shares startling research showing how insulin resistance impacts everything from PCOS and gestational diabetes to uterine fibroids and gynecologic cancers.You'll learn why the same inflammatory processes that cause heart disease also create uterine fibroids, how pregnancy naturally induces a state of insulin resistance to protect the developing fetus, and why morning sickness serves an important biological function.

Second and/or Third trimester vaginal bleeding is a common reason for L&D Triage patient assessment. The evaluation starts with determining the status of maternal hemodynamic stability. This together with IV access are key first steps. This is followed by an assessment of fetal-placental status. Typically this includes bedside ultrasound for fetal position, visual confirmation of FHTs, amniotic fluid determination, and placental location. At the same time, lab data is obtained to guide care: CBC, fibrinogen, type and RH, and possibly type and cross. Do you order a KB test as part of the STANDRAD evaluation for suspected placental abruption?

It's been nearly three years since the Dobbs decision, which the Supreme Court used to strip women of the right to control our own bodies. In that decision—and frequently presented across the ideological spectrum as an alternative to abortion—adoption has been at the forefront of the discussion. But is adoption as benevolent and empowering as it is presented to be?Our guest today argues that it is not—and she's got compelling evidence to back that up. Dr. Gretchen Sisson is a researcher at Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco. Her book Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood received a starred review from Publisher's Weekly and much more acclaim.

However, hPL readily crosses the placental barrier causing the mothers insulin requirement to increase, when the mother's pancreas cannot increase production of insulin to that level needed to counter the effect of hPL they become diabetic, and this leads to gestational diabetes. So, basically the placenta is asking for more glucose for the baby and the mother's pancreas struggles to keep the glucose level within normal limits in the body of the mother. If left untreated, high levels of glucose in the mother can cause glucotoxicity in the mother.“Glucotoxicity” refers to the toxic effect of glucose. Glucose is the main fuel for cell functions, but when it is high in the bloodstream, it causes toxicity to organs. Prevalence of GDM.The CDC reports mean prevenance of GDM is 6.9%. In U.S. mothers the prevenance increased from 6.0% in 2016 to 8.3% in 2021. Many different factors have played a role in increasing gestational diabetes in American mothers, some of those being the ongoing obesity epidemic with excess body weight being a known risk factor for insulin resistance. Another being advanced maternal age (AMA) as more American women have children later in life their body becomes less sensitive to insulin and requires a higher insulin output on top of the insulin that is required for the fetus. The “American diet” is also something that has a big effect in diabetes development. With the increase of high-carb foods that are readily available, the diet of Americans has declined and is affecting the metabolic health of mothers as they carry and deliver their children. Despite ongoing awareness of GDM, 6% to 9% of pregnant women in the United States are diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and the prevalence continues to increase worldwide. It is estimated that in 2017 18.4 million pregnancies were affected by GDM in the world, which then continued to increase to 1 in 6 births to women with GDM in 2019. It was also found that women living in low-income communities were disproportionately affected due to limited healthcare access. Additionally, women with GDM had a 1.4-fold increase in likelihood of undergoing a c-section, with 15% increase in risk of requiring blood transfusion. Screening for GDMGestational diabetes is screened between the 24th to 28th week of gestation in all women without known pregestational diabetes. In women who have high-risk for GDM the screening occurs during the first trimester, these women usually have at least one of the following: BMI > 30, prior history of GDM, known impaired glucose metabolism, and/or a strong family history of diabetes. The screening during the first trimester is to detect “pregestational diabetes” because we have to keep a good glycemic control to improve outcomes of pregnancy. So, if it's positive, you start treatment immediately. If these women are found to have a normal glucose, they repeat the testing again as done normally, at 24-28 weeks of gestation. How do we screen?The screening itself consists of two types of approaches. The two-step approach includes a 50-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), where blood glucose is measured in an hour and if it is below 140 they are considered to not have GDM, however if the reading is greater than 140 they must then do a 3-hour, 100g oral glucose tolerance test. The 3-hour OGTT includes measuring the blood sugars at Fasting which should be less than 95, at 1 hour at less than 180, at 2 hours at less than 155, and at 3 hours at less than 140. If 2 or more of these values exceed the threshold the patient is diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus. The one-step approach includes 75g after an overnight fast. Blood glucose is measured while fasting which should be less than 92, at 1 hour less than 180 and at 2 hours less than 153. If any one of these values is exceeded, the patient is diagnosed with GDM.If the mother is found to be GDM positive during pregnancy she will also need continued screening post-partum to monitor for any development of overt diabetes. The testing is usually 75g 2-hour OGTT at 6-12 weeks postpartum. If this testing is normal, then they are tested using HbA1c every 3 years. If the post-partum testing shows pre-diabetes, annual testing is recommended using HbA1c measurements. Maternal complications Women with GDM are at an increased risk for future cardiovascular disease, T2DM, and chronic kidney disease. GDM is also associated with increased likelihood of developing pre-eclampsia following delivery. Pre-eclampsia is a complication seen in pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure, proteinuria, vision changes, and liver involvement (high LFTs). Pre-eclampsia can then progress to eclampsia or HELLP syndrome, both of which can include end organ damage. Additionally, she can develop polyhydramnios which leads to overstretching of the uterus and can induce pre-term labor, placental abruption, and or uterine atony, all of which additionally put the mother at increased risk for c-section. All of these maternal complications that stem from GDM lead to complications and extended hospitalization. Child's complications Although there is an increased set of risks for the mother, the neonate can also develop a variety of risks due to the increased glucose while in utero. While the fetus is growing, the placenta is the source of nutrition for the fetus. As the levels of glucose in the mother increase so does the amount of glucose filtered through the placenta and into the fetal circulation. Over time the glucose leads to oxidative stress and inflammation with activation of TGF-b which leads to fibroblast activation and fibrosis of the placenta. This fibrosis decreases the nutrient and oxygen exchange for the fetus. As the fetus attempts to grow in this restrictive environment its development is affected. The fetus can develop IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction) leading to a small for gestation age newborn which can then lead to another set of complications. The low oxygen environment can lead to increased EPO production and polycythemia at birth which can then lead to increased clotting that can travel to the newborn brain. Newborns can also be born with fetal acidosis due to the anerobic metabolism and lactic acid buildup in fetal tissues which can cause fetal encephalopathy leading to cerebral palsy and developmental delay. And the most severe of newborn complications to gestational diabetes can lead to fetal demise. Furthermore, the increase of glucose can also lead to macrosomia in the infant which can often lead to a traumatic delivery and delivery complications such as shoulder dystocia and brachial plexus injury. Brachial plexus injury sometimes resolves without sequela, but other times can lead to permanent weakness or paralysis of the affected arm. The baby can be born too small or too big.Additionally, once the fetus is born the cutting of the umbilical cord leads to a rapid deceleration in blood glucose in the fetal circulation and hypoglycemic episodes can occur, that often lead to NICU admission. The insulin that is created by the fetus in utero to accommodate the large quantities of glucose is known to affect lung maturation as well. The insulin produced inhibits surfactant production in the fetus. Upon birth some of the newborns also have to be placed on PEEP for ventilation and some children require treatment with surfactant to prevent alveolar collapse and/or progression to NRDS created by the low surfactant levels. Additionally, neonates who are macrosomic, which is usually seen in GDM mothers, are larger and stronger and when put on PEEP to help increase ventilation the newborn's stronger respiratory effort can lead to higher pulmonary pressures and barotrauma such as neonatal pneumothorax.Long term complications to the child of a mother with GDM also occur. As the child grows, they are also at an increased risk for developing early onset obesity because of the increased adipose storage triggered by the increase in insulin in response to the high glucose in utero. This then can lead to a higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in the child. With diabetes, also comes an increase in cardiovascular risk as the child ages and becomes an adult. The effects of GDM go beyond the fetal life but continue through adulthood.What can be done?Gestational Diabetes Mellitus has many severe and lifelong consequences for both the mother and the child and prevention of GDM would help enhance the quality of life of both. Many of the ways to prevent GDM complications include patient education and dietary modifications with a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. Benefits of some vegetables in the Mexican cuisine that may be beneficial: Nopales, Chayote, and Jicama. Those are good alternatives for highly processed carbs.Mothers are usually offered nutritional counseling to help them develop a tailored eating plan. This and 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily is recommended to increase insulin sensitivity and lower the post-prandial glucose levels. If within 2 weeks of implementing lifestyle changes alone the glucose measurements remain high, then medications like insulin can be put onboard to manage the GDM. If they require insulin, I think it is time to refer to a higher level of care, if available, high risk OB clinic.Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number ###, “[TITLE].” [summary here]. _____________________References:Eades CE, Burrows KA, Andreeva R, Stansfield DR, Evans JM.

On this episode of the #TakeGoodCare podcast, Drs. Williams, Guthrie, and Greene continue the discussion on going from chaos to calm. They specifically discuss their workplace, "what" their business is, and more.

In 2014, the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health together with the North American Menopause Society introduced the term “Genitourinary syndrome of menopause” to replace the prior term vulvovaginal atrophy. Ten years after that, in 2024, a related term “Genitourinary Syndrome of LACTATION, was introduced to better capture the genitourinary issues lactating women may experience. A new systematic review, soon to be released in the journal obstetrics and gynecology, provides new data on GSL prevalence and characteristics. This is a good reminder for any clinician who evaluates postpartum/lactating women to ask about GSL. How does sexual dysfunction fit into this question? Listen in to the next episode of Dr. Chapa's Clinical Pearls Podcast for more details.

Alice Rothchild's path to becoming an anti-Zionist Jew took many years, many hard conversations, and required a lot of critical self-reflection. But she is part of a growing, powerful chorus of Jewish voices around the world speaking out against Israel's Occupation of Palestine and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians—and she is urging others to join that chorus. “The time is long overdue for liberal Zionists to find the courage to take a long hard look at their uncritical support for the actions of the Israeli state as it becomes increasingly indefensible and destabilizing, a pariah state that has lost its claim to be a so-called democracy (however flawed) that is endangering Jews in the country and abroad as well as Palestinians everywhere,” Rothchild writes in Common Dreams. In the latest installment of The Marc Steiner Show's ongoing series “Not in Our Name,” Marc speaks with Rothchild about her path to anti-Zionism, the endgame of Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza, and the need to liberate Jewish identity from the Zionist state of Israel.Alice Rothchild is a physician, author, and filmmaker with an interest in human rights and social justice. She practiced ob-gyn for almost 40 years and served as Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Harvard Medical School.

Alice Rothchild's path to becoming an anti-Zionist Jew took many years, many hard conversations, and required a lot of critical self-reflection. But she is part of a growing, powerful chorus of Jewish voices around the world speaking out against Israel's Occupation of Palestine and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians—and she is urging others to join that chorus. “The time is long overdue for liberal Zionists to find the courage to take a long hard look at their uncritical support for the actions of the Israeli state as it becomes increasingly indefensible and destabilizing, a pariah state that has lost its claim to be a so-called democracy (however flawed) that is endangering Jews in the country and abroad as well as Palestinians everywhere,” Rothchild writes in Common Dreams. In the latest installment of The Marc Steiner Show's ongoing series “Not in Our Name,” Marc speaks with Rothchild about her path to anti-Zionism, the endgame of Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza, and the need to liberate Jewish identity from the Zionist state of Israel.Alice Rothchild is a physician, author, and filmmaker with an interest in human rights and social justice. She practiced ob-gyn for almost 40 years and served as Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Harvard Medical School. She is the author of numerous books, including: Broken Promises, Broken Dreams: Stories of Jewish and Palestinian Trauma and Resilience; Condition Critical: Life and Death in Israel/Palestine; Old Enough to Know, a 2024 Arab American Book Award winner; and Inspired and Outraged: The Making of a Feminist Physician. Rothchild is a member of the Jewish Voice for Peace Health Advisory Council and a mentor-liaison for We Are Not Numbers.Producer: Rosette SewaliStudio Production: David HebdenAudio Post-Production: Alina NehlichHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecologic condition that affects approximately 10–15% of women of reproductive age worldwide. For endometriosis related pelvic pain, continuous combination birth control pills have long been the first-line pharmacologic intervention of choice. But new data published May 15, 2025 (ahead of print) in Obstetrics and Gynecology is challenging that tradition. In this episode , we will summarize the key findings of this brand new network systematic review and metanalysis. Plus, we will also review what is missing from the ACOG PB 114 regarding the management of endometriosis. Listen in for details.

The DOJ is investigating top medical journals for biased editorial practices, alleging they suppressed studies on COVID-19 vaccine risks and alternative therapeutics for partisan reasons. NBC reports the science publications (including CHEST, New England Journal of Medicine, and Obstetrics and Gynecology) were sent letters “questioning their editorial practices.” In response, medical journal The Lancet called the letters “harassment” and claimed science in the USA was being “violently dismembered” by all of these annoying questions being asked by the peasants. “This corrupt web of suppression, fraud, and retractions demands a legal reckoning,” writes epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher. Dr. Ram Yogendra, MD, MHP, is a board-certified anesthesiologist with a public health background. He advocates for vaccine injury research, highlighting issues like the persistence of S1 spike protein in monocytes post-COVID-19 vaccination.
