North Carolina HB 1232 says it is scientific fact that life begins the moment of fertilation. Even before conception. And if you suspect that a woman is trying to prevent pregnancy by blocking the fertilization process can be killed. Yes, killed. Listen for more information.

Is progesterone the same as a progestin? It sounds like it should be. It is absolutely not. And that distinction matters more than most women — and many providers — realize.This is the conversation Dr. Carolyn Moyers has multiple times a day in clinic — especially with women in perimenopause who are trying to understand their options, figure out why a previous hormone regimen made them feel worse, or advocate for a prescription that actually fits their biology. It is also one of the most consequential mix-ups in all of menopause medicine, and it is long overdue for a dedicated episode.Bioidentical progesterone and synthetic progestins are not interchangeable. They have different molecular structures, different receptor profiles, and meaningfully different effects on your breast tissue, your cardiovascular system, your sleep, and your brain. The WHI study — the one that scared a generation of women off hormone therapy — tested a synthetic progestin, not bioidentical progesterone. And the breast cancer finding it reported was not even statistically significant. That context has been almost entirely missing from the public conversation. Until now.In this episode:• What bioidentical progesterone actually is — and how it differs from synthetic progestins at the molecular level• The WHI study: what it actually tested, and why its results have been misapplied for 20+ years• Breast cancer risk: the ESTHER study and what the evidence actually shows• Cardiovascular differences between progesterone and MPA (Provera)• Why progesterone is a neuroactive steroid — and what that means for your sleep, anxiety, and mood• Uterine protection: what it is, why it matters, and whether bioidentical progesterone is sufficient• What to do if you don't have a uterus — and whether you still need progesterone• Perimenopause: why the progestogen conversation is completely different when you still have cycles, variable ovarian function, and potentially need contraception• The levonorgestrel IUD, norethindrone acetate 5mg vs. the minipill, and Slynd (drospirenone 4mg) — what each one does and who it's for• Exactly how to advocate for yourself at your next appointmentResources mentioned:• ESTHER Study (Fournier et al.) — progesterone vs. MPA and breast cancer risk• Women's Health Initiative (2002)• Prometrium prescribing information• Labia Logic (@labialogic) — vulvovaginal specialists | Memorial Day vulvar health post: instagram.com/p/DYqK9uvj2M8• Sky Women's Health Podcast — Episode 158: Progesterone Intolerance | podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/episode-158-progesterone-intolerance/id1541657642?i=1000640152675Work with Dr. Moyers: skywomenshealth.com | In-person: Fort Worth, TX | Virtual: Texas & West Virginia

You asked — Dr. Moyers answered. In this Ask Me Anything episode, Dr. Moyers — board-certified OBGYN, Menopause Society Certified Physician, and Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health — tackles 18 of the most pressing questions she hears from midlife women every day in her clinic.From hormone therapy and blood clots to low libido, vaginal changes, bladder leaks, and medications for desire — no topic is off limits. If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling dismissed, unheard, or more confused than when you walked in, this episode is for you.In This Episode• What to do when you're on hormone therapy and still have symptoms• CombiPatch and progesterone — is it safe?• Blood clots and hormone therapy — is it really off the table?• Breast cancer and hormone therapy — the nuanced truth• Bioidentical vs. conventional HRT — what's the difference?• How to know if you're in menopause when you have an IUD and no period• Options to stop heavy perimenopausal bleeding without a hysterectomy• Why normal hormone levels don't always mean you feel normal• Postmenopausal bleeding — what it means and what to do• Low libido and vaginal dryness — there is more than lube• How labia change during menopause and what a proper vulvar exam should include• How Addyi works in the brain and its interaction with antidepressants• Testosterone in women — normal levels, superphysiologic levels, and side effects

This month Dr Dave teaches Dr Jo about Youth issues, Choking, Sexual violence disparities and Looksmaxxing. There us an update on Insulin and Abnormal uterine bleeding guidance. There is some reassuring news about MHT and all-cause mortality. Brief intersting topics like Dry eye and vitamin D, topical anaesthesia for IUD placement, and  "Jess's rule" aimed at preventing delays in diagnosis are discussed. There is an update on Paediatric asthma and Post vaccination observation and a few laughs along the way.

The Supreme Court says abortion pills can still be mailed… FOR NOW! Which means Lizz and Moji have spent the last several days stress sweating through every twist, loophole, and terrifying little breadcrumb in this mifepristone decision. We break down what the ruling actually means, how Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito continue their quest to become the most divorced-from-reality men alive, and why anti-abortion extremists are still doing everything they can to drag abortion access back to the Stone Age using junk science, legal chaos, and the world's crustiest ideology.   AND because the universe refuses to let us rest for even one second, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is OUT. Depending on which weird little corner of the internet you ask, it's either because he wouldn't let kids rip bubblegum-flavored vape clouds in peace OR because anti-abortion lawmakers were furious he wasn't moving fast enough to ban abortion pills nationwide. Honestly? In this timeline, both sound possible.   GUEST ROLL CALL: The absolutely brilliant Solomon Georgio joins the Buzzkills this week, and trust us, we needed him. The comedian, TV writer, and professional destroyer of bad vibes talks with Lizz and Moji about dealing with hecklers, navigating MAGA comedy crowds, dating disasters, surviving America as a 6'4” Black queer immigrant, and somehow still remaining one of the funniest people alive while the country freefalls directly into the sun.   The news is unhinged, the lawmakers are embarrassing, and the vibes are medically concerning, but knowledge is power, rage is fuel, and we gotchu.   URGENT ACTION: Share Your Medication Abortion Story Now! Telling your story can help protect mifepristone and ensure others have the same opportunity you did to choose their own path.

IT'S BEEN A WEEK!!! Lizz and Moji have been chugging Imodium the last seven days as they follow the twists and turns of the Fifth Circus Court ruling that created a federal ban and put the mail distribution of the abortion pill mifepristone on the chopping block. Between Sam Alito giving us a week of reprieve to dial back our panic to 23/7 and the FDA assessing the fate of abortion medication using a debunked “study” (really just a forced-birth fever dream scribbled on fishwrap), we were already hanging by a thread. Then Oklahoma decided to do the absolute most by funneling money to FAKE clinics. So yeah, you're gonna need an emotional support drink, spliff, snack, or whatever survival instincts you have left for this episode.   GUEST ROLL CALL:   We had to call in backup for this one! We are joined by Michigan-based OGBYN PA-C, Author, and Creator, Nikki Sapiro Vinckier – the ultimate reproductive health sherpa! Nikki is going to talk about her new book, “We Deserve More,” her latest citizen-led repro win in Michigan, and guide us through EVERYTHING that is happening to access to medication abortion right now. Can we still get pills? How do we get pills? What pills can we still get? Will Sam Alito give me pills? WE NEED ANSWERS, AND NIKKI IS DELIVERING!   PLUS! THE ONE AND ONLY, RaeShanda Lias is here and queeeeer, babay! The absolutely fabulous Digital Creator & Diversity Advocate joins the Buzzkills to fill our joy cups back up by making us laugh, reminding us that Black queer love is indeed thriving, talking to us about clapping back online, her new podcast, and checking the board about RFK Jr. being absolute trash.

Dr. Natalie Crawford, MD, is a double board-certified OB-GYN and reproductive endocrinologist. We discuss how to improve hormone health at any age and the importance of fertility markers not just for pregnancy, but as a powerful window into overall health, vitality and longevity. We discuss hormone replacement therapy, egg freezing, IVF, and what biomarkers like AMH really indicate. Plus, how anti-inflammatory diets and specific supplements can be beneficial and the impact of microplastics and certain fragrances on hormones. We also discuss lesser-known factors that deplete male and female fertility, vitality and health. This conversation highlights how better understanding of hormones and your reproductive markers can empower better informed choices at every stage of life. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

{12:1} Iesus ergo ante sex dies Paschæ venit Bethaniam, ubi Lazarus fuerat mortuus, quem suscitavit Iesus.{12:1} Then six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethania, where Lazarus had died, whom Jesus raised up.{12:2} Fecerunt autem ei cœnam ibi: et Martha ministrabat, Lazarus vero unus erat ex discumbentibus cum eo.{12:2} And they made a dinner for him there. And Martha was ministering. And truly, Lazarus was one of those who were sitting at table with him.{12:3} Maria ergo accepit libram unguenti nardi pistici, pretiosi, et unxit pedes Iesu, et extersit pedes eius capillis suis: et domus impleta est ex odore unguenti.{12:3} And then Mary took twelve ounces of pure spikenard ointment, very precious, and she anointed the feet of Jesus, and she wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.{12:4} Dixit ergo unus ex discipulis eius, Iudas Iscariotes, qui erat eum traditurus:{12:4} Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was soon to betray him, said,{12:5} Quare hoc unguentum non væniit trecentis denariis, et datum est egenis?{12:5} “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the needy?”{12:6} Dixit autem hoc, non quia de egenis pertinebat ad eum, sed quia fur erat, et loculos habens, ea, quæ mittebantur, portabat.{12:6} Now he said this, not out of concern for the needy, but because he was a thief and, since he held the purse, he used to carry what was put into it.{12:7} Dixit ergo Iesus: Sinite illam ut in diem sepulturæ meæ servet illud.{12:7} But Jesus said: “Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.{12:8} Pauperes enim semper habetis vobiscum: me autem non semper habetis.{12:8} For the poor, you have with you always. But me, you do always not have.”{12:9} Cognovit ergo turba multa ex Iudæis quia illic est: et venerunt, non propter Iesum tantum, sed ut Lazarum viderent, quem suscitavit a mortuis.{12:9} Now a great multitude of the Jews knew that he was in that place, and so they came, not so much because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.[8] "Me you have not always": Viz., in a visible manner, as when conversant here on earth; and as we have the poor, whom we may daily assist and relieve.

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. I've been trying to conceive for a year for our third child. We're both 35, live a very health-focused lifestyle, and I've done five rounds of letrozole without success along with extensive testing. What should the next step in evaluation or treatment look like? When using letrozole, does it make a meaningful difference if it's taken on cycle days 3–7 versus 5–9, especially depending on whether you ovulate regularly? I have high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, and am about 50 pounds overweight, with two miscarriages in the past year. How do metabolic factors like these actually impact fertility and miscarriage risk, and what should be addressed first? I've been on birth control since my teens and currently have a hormonal IUD. Does long-term use affect future fertility, and how far in advance should I stop contraception if I want to plan for pregnancy?

We dive into the often-overlooked topic of amenorrhea: the absence of menstruation. Biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Dr. Jeannette Loram unpack the science with a focus on Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA) linked to energy deficiency in athletes. They explore how intense training and and sport pressures around leanness or weight can disrupt regular hormonal signals, affecting long-term bone density, cardiovascular health, and performance. They also discuss the original concept of the Female Athlete Triad (low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and low bone mineral density) and its evolution into RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), a more holistic model encompassing many aspects of health and wellbeing.The conversation expands into evolutionary perspectives, comparing Western menstrual experiences—from menarche to menopause—with those of hunter-gatherer populations like the Hadza, and questioning what “normal” really means. Ultimately, this episode reframes intense athletics as a nuanced practice that must be supported by adequate nutrition and recovery.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript00:00 – Intro & Sponsors02:45 – What Is Amenorrhea?05:40 – Primary vs Secondary Amenorrhea09:00 – Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA): Energy deficiency and hormonal suppression11:10 – Female Athlete Triad → RED-S: Evolution of understanding in sports science21:30 – The Hadza perspective: menarche to menopause25:25 – Negative consequences of amenorrhea: Bone Health  29:15 – IUD induced amenorrhea 37:00 – Historical and modern timelines for menarche compared to the Hadza 50:45 – Closing thoughts on ancient humans Links & Research Mentioned:Substack article that prompted this episode Dr Jen Gunter's article on the hormonal IUD and bone health Foraging & Menstruation in the Hadza of Tanzania Comparison between The Female Athlete Triad & RED-SConnect, Move & Learn:Join Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesFollow Katy on SubstackTry Katy's Virtual Studio Free for 7 days!Made Possible By Our Wonderful Sponsors:Ikaria Design: The Soul Seat® offers height-adjustable, multi-position sitting—get 10% off new chairs and desks with code DNA10.Smart Playrooms: Beautiful playroom design and movement-rich equipment—save 10% on monkey bars and rock-wall items with code DNA10.Peluva: Five-toe minimalist shoes that move like you do—take 10% off with code NUTRITIOUSMOVEMENTMovemate: Active standing boards with smoothly articulating wooden slats.

This week, Will and Kristin sit down with Dr. Jen Lincoln, OB-GYN, educator, advocate, and author of The Birth Book, for a conversation that goes way beyond the usual pregnancy advice. Together, they unpack the internet's favorite birth myths, from epidurals and exercise in pregnancy to IUD fearmongering and the idea that eating the “right” foods can somehow control how big a baby gets. Dr. Lincoln explains where so much of this misinformation comes from, why outdated practices still hang around, and what pregnant people actually deserve instead: context, evidence, and honesty. They also get into the bigger picture, how little time patients often get in real appointments, how easily fear fills that gap, and why advocacy inside medicine can come with a real cost. Along the way, Dr. Lincoln shares stories from her own training, her experience speaking out during Oregon's Providence strike, and what pushed her to write a book focused entirely on labor and delivery. Takeaways: Not all “common wisdom” about birth is actually backed by evidence and some of it should've been retired a long time ago. Epidural myths are still everywhere, even though the real story is a lot more nuanced than the internet makes it sound. Pregnant people are often expected to make huge decisions with incomplete information and that gap gets filled fast by fear. IUD misinformation is still thriving online, even when the data says something very different. Advocacy in medicine matters, but sometimes speaking up comes with consequences most people never see. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

"Hormones—what is the deal with them?"In this special solo episode, Dr. Rachel Pope pulls back the curtain on the world of hormone therapy (HT). While we know that hormones are vital for cardiovascular health, bone density, and quality of life, there is still so much the medical community is uncovering about the "perfect" dose and duration for the average woman.Dr. Pope gets personal in this episode, sharing her own recent experience with perimenopausal symptoms—from heart palpitations to her first-ever migraine—and how tracking her cycle led her to a life-changing realization about estrogen fluctuations.In this episode, we break down: The "Extreme" Ends of Menopause: Why early menopause (POI) and late menopause both carry significant health risks and what they teach us about the power of estrogen. Hormone Breakdown: What do Estradiol, Progesterone, and Testosterone actually do for your sleep, mood, anxiety, and libido? Systemic vs. Topical: Why a patch might help your hot flashes, but you might still need a cream or ring for vaginal and bladder health. The Perimenopause "Storm": How the week before your period reveals the first signs of hormonal decline (and why you might not need a million different medications to fix it). The Safety Debate: A candid look at the Women's Health Initiative data, breast cancer risks, and why Dr. Pope isn't "batting an eye" at low-dose transdermal estrogen for healthy women. The DEXA Scan Dilemma: Why waiting until age 65 for a bone density scan might be too late, and why Dr. Pope advocates for earlier screening.Key Takeaways: You are an individual: There is no "one size fits all" for how long you should stay on hormones. It requires a yearly conversation with your doctor to weigh your unique risks vs. benefits. Prevention is key: Hormone therapy isn't just about stopping hot flashes; it's about protecting your heart, brain, and bones for the long haul. It's not the "Fountain of Youth": While hormones are underutilized, they aren't a cure-all. Balanced medical care still means addressing mental health and lifestyle alongside HRT.Are you curious if your symptoms are "just aging" or actually perimenopause?

Introduction“A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.” — Irina Dunn, 1970I heard about the movement of decentering men on TikTok. With zero expectations, I decided to try it out for a month. It was October 2025. I was sick of dating apps and about to publish my second book. I'd been single for three years, but this was something different. I'm here to tell you everything about it and share all the reasons why I'm never going back.I wrote this article to give us, women, a blueprint for how to be the main character in our own lives. Our mothers and grandmothers couldn't teach us this; they depended on men (financially) to survive, and had to center them accordingly. This article is not about hating men; it's about unlearning the ways that the patriarchy has trained us to prioritize making men happy. This pressure comes just as much from the women in our lives (aunties, influencers, our mother), as from men. After all, it was my mother who let my brother get away with never doing the dishes after dinner.Starting this process for the first time scared me. I was worried that if I stopped trying to date men, I was giving up on my dream of becoming a mother. Yet as I began to decenter men, I realized that my idea of motherhood was purely a fantasy. Facing the reality of motherhood, those statistics scared me much more. In this article, I will cover everything I've learned from the internet, economists, and my own experience, so that you can decide whether decentering men and trying it for a month to start is right for you. Let's begin!

In episode 616, Tina and James discuss the issue around the evidence for using topical anesthetics to reduce the pain associated with IUD insertion. To help with this discussion, we bring in Jessica Kirkwood and Caitlin Finley to provide practical information and insight. The evidence is really interesting and worth knowing. So have a listen […]

In this episode, Lisa sits down with registered nurse and endometriosis advocate Jenneh Rishe to explore her experience with diaphragmatic endometriosis — a form of the disease that presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and right upper abdominal pain rather than the classic pelvic symptoms most practitioners associate with endo. Jenneh shares how years of hormonal suppression, including being prescribed the pill on top of an existing IUD, delayed her path to a confirmed diagnosis. This episode underscores the importance of specialist care, early diagnosis, and a multidisciplinary approach to endometriosis treatment.

Lionel dissects the bizarre "formulaic" coverage of the Savannah Guthrie kidnapping case, roasting the sheriff for attending a basketball game mid-investigation and questioning the "weird" background of the brother-in-law. The show takes a dark turn into the suppressed Epstein files before lightening up with hilarious, true tales of linguistic mishaps—from a "DUI vs. IUD" confusion to a grandmother screaming for "penis" instead of "peanuts" on a flight.

Some of the biggest advances in women's health start with a simple question: why hasn't this been fixed yet? In this episode of BackTable OBGYN, Dr. Tess Kim, a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital and the founder of Fruits of Labor, a women's health medical device innovation company, joins host Dr. Amy Park. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Kim's educational journey began with medical school at Emory, followed by residency at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, and fellowship training at MGH. She discusses the founding of Fruits of Labor, which began with the Perry Peach—a warm compress device designed to reduce severe perineal tearing during childbirth and now acquired by Medicines360. Dr. Kim also talks about her creative process, the importance of addressing historically neglected areas in women's health, and the potential impact of her new project, Mellomallows, which aims to reduce discomfort during gynecological procedures such as IUD placement. The conversation concludes with a discussion of the challenges and opportunities in women's health innovation, the significance of supportive networks, and the role of passion and commitment in driving meaningful change. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction02:03 - The Birth of PeriPeach: Addressing Severe Tearing06:51 - New Medical Devices: Mellomallows08:41 - The Creation and Mechanism of PeriPeach 11:11 - Company Development: Mentorship and Resources17:37 - Pitching Practice and Experience 19:26 - Project Funding and Working with Medicines36021:51 - Advice for Aspiring Innovators23:52 - Concerns About AI in Healthcare26:48 - Innovations in Women's Health29:06 - Challenges in Academic Medicine32:01 - The Importance of Female Innovators34:00 - Forming a Startup in Women's Health36:10 - Parting Advice for Future Innovators37:37 - The Future of Women's Health Innovations40:10 - Conclusion --- RESOURCES Fruits of Labor website:https://www.fruitsoflabormed.com/home PeriPeach website:https://www.peripeach.com/

I metodi contraccettivi aiutano a prevenire le gravidanze indesiderate, intervenendo sull'ovulazione o impedendo agli spermatozoi di entrare in contatto con l'ovulo. Ne esistono di diverse tipologie: di barriera (preservativo maschile e femminile, diaframma, coppetta cervicale), ormonali (pillola e minipillola, cerotto transdermico, anello vaginale e impianto sottocutaneo), intrauterini (IUD ormonale e IUD al rame), chirurgici (vasectomia e sterilizzazione tubarica) e di emergenza. Ma qual è il contraccettivo più efficace? E come funzionano dal punto di vista scientifico? In questo video vedremo quali sono i principali metodi contraccettivi e come funzionano gli anticoncezionali. Learn more about your ad choices.

EP:174 In this episode, I'm finally taking you behind the scenes of my Hashimoto's journey—from being told I was “in remission” to hitting a full-blown flare that looked a lot like grief, burnout, and perimenopause all rolled into one. I'll walk you through the timeline of my diagnosis, the scary symptoms (brain fog, hair loss, fatigue, joint pain, irregular cycles, sudden weight loss), and how I slowly realized this wasn't “just stress” or “just motherhood”… it was my thyroid and my nervous system screaming for help. I'm sharing exactly what I tried, what I quit, and what I still use today: low-dose naltrexone, why I chose not to start thyroid meds (for now), getting my IUD removed, my experience with functional and holistic doctors, parasite cleanses, Candida protocols, coffee enemas (spoiler: hard pass), and the vitamins, supplements, and Standard Process cleanse that actually help me feel human again. Most importantly, I'll talk about how learning to read my own body—my flares, fatigue, mood, sleep, and stress—has turned me into my own best advocate, not a passive patient waiting for someone else to “fix” me. If you're dealing with Hashimoto's, thyroid issues, perimenopause, hormone chaos, or you just feel “off” and dismissed by doctors, this episode will help you feel seen, give you language for what you're experiencing, and remind you that you're allowed to trust yourself, ask questions, and choose what feels right for YOUR body. If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who's struggling with unexplained symptoms, and leave your questions or takeaways in the comments/review—I'd love to do a follow-up episode answering what I didn't get to here. And if you're ready to support your nervous system and body on a deeper level, make sure you're subscribed to the podcast and my newsletter so you don't miss future episodes and resources. #Hashimotos #ThyroidHealth #AutoimmuneDisease #HashimotosJourney #Perimenopause #HormoneHealth #WomensHealth #HolisticHealth #FunctionalMedicine #ThyroidSupport #NervousSystemRegulation #ChronicFatigue #BrainFog #HairLoss #GutHealth #AntiInflammatoryDiet #GlutenFree #DairyFree #WomenOver35 #BurnoutRecovery #SelfAdvocacy #ListenToYourBody #BrookeWeinstein #ThriveLikeAParent #PodcastEpisode

New supply of oil is coming into the US, prices are going to drop. Trump is shutting down the [CB] plan down, no institutional investors in real estate, prices are about to come way down. Newsom wants to confiscate Bitcoin. The [DS] is feeling pain, their drug, human and oil trafficking system is being dismantled. The [DS] have lost the information war, common sense has now taken over. The [DS] will now being moving to physical war. This is the trap Trump has set to use the Insurrection Act. Slowly but surely the [DS] will become more violent and Trump and team will have to call the ball. Buckle up, the storm is approaching. Economy Trump’s Tariffs Are Sinking The Eurozone  German trade surpluses are shrinking, with 2025 exports to the US projected down 7% and overall trade surplus far below 2024 levels. Structural challenges—especially Chinese competition in automotive—compound short-term pressures, threatening Germany’s role as Eurozone anchor. A German recession risks Eurozone-wide contagion, potential ECB stimulus, and euro depreciation, clouding the outlook for 2026. Since tariffs stepped in, the Eurozone has struggled with exports and hasn’t even retaliated to them. A passive approach that shows off all its weaknesses and, above all, is sinking the economy of its major member: Germany. Germany was already stuck with a negative GDP growth before tariffs, but the latter are acting as a final blow for the third economy in the world. A couple of weeks ago I pointed out the main risks that concern Japan (the fourth economy in the world); now it is time to assess the shape of the German economy. How tariffs are hitting Germany Germany's total exports in 2024 amounted to $1.63 trillion, and 11% of these goods were exported to the US, the main trading partner. Just this data says a lot; in fact, Germany used to rely on the US to generate billions and billions of trade surpluses. A sort of Chinese approach, but at a lower scale. Now, almost every European good exported to the US is subject to a 15% tariff, which is making German goods less convenient for US companies. We know that the latter pay most of the tariffs, and this means bearing higher costs of goods sold, therefore lower profits. Companies don't like to reduce their net profit margin, so it is not a surprise they are looking around to find new trading partners. On top of this significant issue, the currency fluctuations are adding further pressure on German exports..

The petition outlines explosive allegations regarding Sheriff McFadden's conduct over House Bill 10, a controversial state law mandating cooperation between local sheriffs and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Rep. Cunningham, a fellow Democrat who provided a critical vote to override the Governor's veto of the bill, alleges McFadden threatened her safety to influence her vote. According to the petition, McFadden told Cunningham that if she continued to support the bill, the “people of Mecklenburg County would ‘come after' her.” The filing claims McFadden added, “I don't want to see you get hurt. You live in my county.” Cunningham described the interaction as “akin to a mafia boss demanding money by saying ‘nice little store you've got there; it would be a shame if anything happened to it.’”   District Attorney Merriweather confirmed he has asked the SBI's Professional Standards Unit to investigate the claims before his office decides whether to proceed with the removal petition.

Brilliant Restitution Plan – President Trump Announces Interim Venezuela Oil Payment of $2 Billion  This is way beyond winning, this is stunningly brilliant strategy.  Not only has President Trump successfully apprehended Venezuela dictator Nicolas Maduro, but the remaining interim government officials have acquiesced to fund a civil restitution plan to pay for their malfeasance. The government that stole from its people is being forced to pay restitution for their own fraud, abuse and misconduct. [SOURCE] The 30 to 50 million barrels of oil is approximately a $2 billion self-created reconstruction effort. Compare and contrast this approach with the trillions of U.S. taxpayer funds that were used in the failed efforts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etcetera….  or even Kuwait, albeit the Kuwaiti's offered, but prior U.S. leadership chose influence over restitution. In this example, almost immediately the funds now in the control of President Trump can be deployed to the greater benefit of the Venezuelan people. Another way to look at this is like a type of ‘sovereign wealth fund' created by the corrupt Venezuelan officials, using the resources that belong to the Venezuelan people, to support the interim needs of the same citizens they victimized. Well done President Trump and Secretary Rubio! Source: theconservativetreehouse.com   The second phase will be a phase that we call recovery. And that is ensuring that American, western, and other companies have access to the Venezuelan market in a way that’s fair, also at the same time, begin to create the process of reconciliation nationally, within Venezuela, so that the opposition forces can be amnestied and released from prisons, and brought back to the country, and begin to rebuild civil society. And then the third phase, is of course will be one of transition. Some of this will overlap. I’ve described this to them (Venezuela) in great detail. We’ll have more detail in the days to follow. But we feel like we’re moving forward here in a very positive way. https://twitter.com/Matt_Bracken48/status/2008704247341183281?s=20   with a long-term secret IUD program, where Inuit women and young girls visiting Danish clinics for “health checks” were for unknowingly fitted with dangerous coil IUDs that were left in for years, leaving many sterile and in chronic lifelong pain.

His agency is auditing all 14 Medicaid programs that Minnesota flagged as vulnerable to fraud; that excludes 73 other Medicaid programs Minnesota runs. The agency also will “claw back that money” from current Medicaid payments that were to be made to Minnesota, Oz told Fox News. “This is a major problem for the state, because they've got to own the fact that they have been bilking the federal taxpayer [because of] their sloppy behavior for years,” Oz said. Oz said his agency has had difficulty tracking at least $500 million in Medicaid payments to Minnesota. Available data makes it hard to figure out how it was billed and “where it went,” he said.      Source: zerohedge.com President Trump's Plan https://twitter.com/JudgeJeanine/status/2008642273991393473?s=20  Today?

Just send them our way. […] We have great, common-sense policy. They have horrendous policy. What they do, is they stick together. They never have a no vote. Trump wasn’t whining that he is afraid of impeachment — he was spitting facts: if Democrats win, impeachment is inevitable; so, don’t let them win and show them this is how you do it. Trump made clear to Republicans that they must hammer home their common-sense, America-forward policies and contrast those against the truly terrible schemes of the Democrats. Trump said, “You can own health care. Figure it out.

On this episode, Jared and Jen break down one of the most misunderstood hormone issues affecting both women and men: estrogen dominance. This isn't always about having “too much estrogen”—it's about a ratio problem, driven largely by low or depleted progesterone. You'll learn how estrogen is metabolized through different liver pathways, why some forms of estrogen are far more disruptive than others, and how liver health, gut function, stress, blood sugar, and environmental exposures all shape hormone balance. The episode also explores how estrogen dominance shows up differently in women and men, why symptoms often persist even when labs look “normal,” and how modern lifestyle factors quietly stack the deck against hormonal health.Jared and Jen also take an honest look at hormonal birth control, endocrine disruptors, seed oils, and genetic factors that can impair estrogen clearance—without fear-mongering or oversimplification. The episode closes with a clear, practical framework for supporting estrogen metabolism, restoring progesterone balance, and addressing the root causes naturally.Products:LiverVitalityEndoCleanseBack on TractVital D3/K2Ultimate Vitality MultiActive B ComplexMagnesium BisglycinateAdditional Information:#588: The Hidden Epidemic Part 1: How Endocrine Disruptors Are Hijacking Your Health#589: The Hidden Epidemic Part 2: The Complete Endocrine Detox Strategy#595: The Estrobolome Explained: How Your Gut Shapes Your HormonesCheck out all five“Jen's Story” Episodes!Dirty Genes - Book by Dr. Ben LynchVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Join Patreon to get access to HTMA case studies here!Some of your loudest hormone symptoms are actually mineral problems in disguise.In this episode, I pick up our December mineral series and move from the foundation minerals into the tiny trace players that run the control panel. Minerals like copper, zinc, iron, manganese, chromium, selenium and boron act as cofactors for hormones, thyroid and blood sugar, and they can make or break energy, mood and cycles even when the basics look ok. On paper, a lot of women are told everything looks “normal” while their bodies are clearly not ok. I get into what it feels like when minerals are out of balance, from emotional spikes and wired-tired nights to heavy, painful cycles and those nagging aches that never quite go away. Instead of chasing every new fix, I zoom out to show how your system compensates and what that reveals about where support actually needs to go.This is part 2 of 3 of my Mineral Series.

At my monthly Ask Me Anything Webinars,  I always get questions about hormone therapy- when to start, when to stop, if the dose should be changed as women get older, and what to do if someone continues to have symptoms or continues to bleed…  In this episode, Dr. Risa Kagan and I answer submitted questions.  We start by briefly running through the established indications for starting menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), and then Dr. Kagan and I discuss the “what ifs” of hormone therapy.   Do you have to wait for 12 months without a period before starting MHT? If someone is taking birth control pills for control of perimenopause symptoms, at what point should they go off? And can they immediately transition to MHT or do they need to take a break and make sure they are no longer making estrogen? A  woman with severe hot flashes is having all day, all night hot flashes- how long is it going to take to get some relief?  Does it matter if it is oral or transdermal as far as the onset of action?  What are the chances of getting 100% relief?   If someone has started MHT but is still having flashes, how long should they wait before adjusting it?  What is the best starting dose if someone has severe flashes? High or low? A woman wrote in that she has been using a 0.75 patch, but continues to have severe flashes.  She got a serum level, and it is 10. Her doctor is reluctant to increase her dose. What would you tell her? A woman has tried four different protocols and has nuisance bleeding with all.  She had an ultrasound and biopsy, and it was all normal. She wants to continue MHT, but is tired of the bleeding. She wants to know which protocol is the least likely to cause bleeding An internist told a woman that after 5 years, it is time to go off her MHT.  What about if she is primarily taking it for hot flashes- how likely is it that her hot flashes will return?  What about if she is primarily on it for bone health (known osteopenia) and joint pain-? What about if she is primarily taking it for sexual benefits? (Libido, lubrication, orgasm) ? What about if she is primarily taking it because she is worried about dementia A woman decided to go off HT since she was only taking it for hot flashes and is now 10 years out. Her manicurist told her that she should taper; otherwise, her flashes will come back. Her gyne says, stop. What does Dr. Kagan say? A 60 year old woman started estrogen when she had a hysterectomy and ovary removal. She was told by her internist that there is no way she will still be having hot flashes in her 60s, and therefore no reason to continue her estrogen. Is that correct? What is the likelihood that she will still be having hot flashes in her 60s or 70s?  The next question is from a woman who increased her oral estradiol to 2 mg to get rid of her flashes,  but is still taking her original Prometrium dose 100 mg. Is that enough to protect the lining of her uterus? When do you increase it? A question from a Substack reader- “I used estradiol gel for 8 years at the start of menopause. I decided to stop it and did so for 3 years; however, my hot flashes (sleep, mood, etc) were relentless and violent. I decided to start again after a 3-years hiatus and at the age of 65. I feel so much better. Is this a problem having stopped and then started again a few years later?”  How can you tell the effectiveness of the HRT you're taking (other than no more hot flashes?) I still feel lack of motivation, low libido, joint aches and I'm so much slower running (1 min+/mile).  (What this really comes down to, is what are realistic expectations for what HT will do?)  How long can a postmenopausal woman stay on testosterone, estrogen and Progesterone?  Let's say a woman has been using a .05 estradiol patch but her skin is really irritated and has decided to try the spray instead.  What is the equivalent dose? A woman with a hysterectomy who is taking estrogen alone has been taking a 1 mg estradiol pill. She has decided to switch to conjugated equine estrogen since she would like breast protection.  Is that correct thinking? If she is going to make the switch, what is the equivalent dose?  A 51 year old is no longer having hot flashes but wants to continue her transdermal estrogen since she has low bone mass and is worried about progression to osteoporosis. What is the minimum dose of estradiol to ensure that she is getting maximum bone protection?  Many questions came in about initiating hormone therapy after age 65...

Actinomyces species are considered part of the normal vaginal and urogenital tract flora. The percentage of Pap smears containing Actinomyces-like organisms varies but is most commonly reported as approximately 7% among women using IUDs. That number is supported by multiple sources, including the Infectious Diseases Society of America guideline and several clinical studies. The incidence can be higher or lower depending on the type of IUD; for example, copper IUDs have been associated with rates up to 20%, while levonorgestrel-releasing IUDs show lower rates around 2.9%. In women with an IUD, who are found to have this finding on their liquid-based Pap smear, what is the appropriate management? In this episode, which comes from one of our podcast family members, we will discuss this topic and it's management in both symptomatic and symptomatic (pelvic pain) IUD wearing women. 1.

What happens when a type‑A, high‑achieving doctor slowly loses her period, her sense of safety in her body, and eventually her fertility, only to discover she is the one pushing her hormones to shut down? In this raw and hopeful episode, Dr. Ashley Burton traces her path from childhood body image and disordered "health" habits through years of irregular cycles, the pill, an unexpected pregnancy and termination, and a cascade of IUD complications that ended in full‑blown hypothalamic amenorrhea. Ashley pulls back the curtain on her HA journey and how true preconception prep was a game‑changer in helping her get and stay pregnant.  Episode Highlights: How growing up in a Northern Ontario First Nations community, body image pressure, and "healthy habits" quietly set Ashley up for missing periods and HA.​ The truth about her late first period, years of sparse cycles, and what seven years on the pill really did to her hormones.​ An unexpected pregnancy on the rhythm method, a difficult at‑home termination, and the Mirena IUD decision that changed everything.​ The terrifying hemorrhage that became her rock‑bottom moment and the doorway into real body literacy and cycle awareness.​ The one line on a fitness podcast that made her realize she was overtraining, and how easing up finally opened the door to pregnancy.​ Why she is so grateful for preconception nutrient loading now that she is 10 weeks pregnant with first‑trimester food aversions in full swing.​ The sneaky "goal clothes" trap that keeps so many women stuck in HA and what freedom on the other side can look like.​ A client story where a frightening PCOS label turned out to be HA that shifted in two months with breakfast, stress work, and charting.​ Ashley's countercultural reframe on movement, timing, and why building fertility foundations now pays off well into perimenopause and beyond.​ If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below.

Lane 9 co-founder, and dietitian, Heather Caplan RDN takes on two more listener questions in this episode. 1) How do clinicians navigate what may be REDs, with an athlete who has an IUD and doesn't get periods?  2) If I'm undertrained and experiencing symptoms of REDs (haven't had a period in about a year), but I want to run marathon, what should I do? As always, remember that all of our episodes cover these topics to raise awareness and engage in the converastion around REDs and women's health in sport, but they are NOT intended to (nor do they) provide individualized medical, nutrition, or mental health care. Please check in with your clinicians before you make any changes. If you are looking for a healthcare team to support you as a woman in sport, navigating REDs or not, go to Lane9Project.org/directory to match with a clinician in our Women's Sport and Health Directory.  Connect with Lane 9 Project via Instagram @lane9project, or visit Lane9project.org.

After revealing she failed the bar exam, Kim Kardashian's new legal drama All's Fair has also been panned by critics as the worst TV show to ever exist. So, when you’re one of the most successful women in the world, what does it feel like to fail? And do we all need to embrace the humour in our own ‘flop’ eras? And, the New York Times asked a very simple question: Did women ruin the workplace? The Internet had a lot of thoughts, and we’re here to dissect them. Plus, can you be friends with someone who has a very different political view to you? For many young people, the answer is increasingly no. And, with celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence choosing to keep their politics to themselves, we unpack whether revealing your political leaning is becoming a no-go zone.

In this episode, Audrey sits down with registered dietitian and founder of Nourished by Taylor, Taylor Lechner, to talk about what really happens when you've been on birth control for 10+ years and decide you're done. They get into why so many women lose their period, come off the pill, and suddenly have acne, anxiety, mood swings, gut issues, or no ovulation — and why it's not just “your hormones being crazy.” Taylor breaks down post–birth control syndrome, the labs she runs (HTMA, gut, minerals, thyroid), how copper and mineral depletion play into PMS and anxiety, and why testing > guessing. If you're thinking about coming off the pill/implant/IUD — whether or not you want to get pregnant — this is the one to listen to.Connect with Taylor:Taylor has a free gift for you all!!! :  Breakup with Birth Control MasterclassIG: nourishedbytayWebsite: https://nourished-by-taylor.com/Taylor Lechner, MFN, RD, LD, is a Registered Dietitian and founder of Nourished by Taylor.

Harry Jowsey is here and he's not holding back! We have the reality TV star and podcaster join us for a wild conversation about everything from having threesomes with friends (does it make it awkward afterward?) to what he's looking for in a partner (or is he not looking at all?) to why he's faked orgasms before (yes guys do it, too). He defends his fuckboy reputation and offers advice to the ladies for how not to get love bombed, and we find out what he actually knows about women's bodies, from what we like in bed to what an IUD is for. And then we break down two juicy listener emails and decide whether the guys in question are boyfriend material. Before Harry joins us, we're offering advice for a tough situation submitted from a listener – her partner made plans to propose (still hasn't) and she's struggling with staying in the relationship.
