Howard and Antonia explore the evidence behind pit breaks in labor, cannabis use in pregnancy, and IUD options for hormone replacement therapy.• Pit breaks in labor lack substantial evidence of benefit when used in active labor• Current research suggests stopping oxytocin during active labor may slightly increase cesarean rates rather than decrease them• Long pit breaks (up to 8 hours) in latent labor may be beneficial by allowing rest and promoting patience• Recent systematic review shows prenatal cannabis use increases risk of low birth weight by 75%, preterm birth by 50%, and perinatal mortality by 29%• Cannabis use during pregnancy (7.2% of pregnant women) now exceeds tobacco use• Retrospective studies on doula care show association with better outcomes, but can't establish causation due to inherent differences in patients who seek doulas• 52mg levonorgestrel IUDs (Mirena/Liletta) are suitable for endometrial protection during HRT, but evidence only supports use up to 5 years• Most systematic reviews combine heterogeneous studies and shouldn't be considered level 1 evidenceWe'd love to hear your questions!

If you've ever wondered whether your thyroid condition should influence your birth control choices, you're not alone. The good news? Having hypothyroidism usually doesn't prevent you from using most forms of contraception. But that doesn't mean it's one-size-fits-all.In this episode, we're taking a deep dive into the topic of birth control and hypothyroidism. We'll walk you through the different birth control options—from IUDs and hormonal pills to barrier methods and sterilization—and explore how they might interact with your thyroid health. We'll talk about why it's essential to share your full medical history with your doctor, especially when you're on thyroid medications, and why monitoring your hormone levels after starting a new contraceptive could help you avoid unwanted surprises. Plus, we'll shine a light on some lesser-known concerns—like how certain hormonal methods might contribute to weight gain, mood changes, or other symptoms familiar to thyroid patients. And, as always, we'll be drawing on guidance from trusted thyroid experts, including clinicians from Paloma Health, to help you better understand the intersection of reproductive and thyroid health. Need more information? Learn more at the Paloma Health blog:Choosing The Right Birth Control With Hypothyroidismhttps://www.palomahealth.com/learn/choosing-birth-control-hypothyroidism Hypothyroidism and Birth Control Pillshttps://www.palomahealth.com/learn/hypothyroidism-birth-control-pills Copper IUD, Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto'shttps://www.palomahealth.com/learn/copper-iud-hypothyroidism-hashimotos About Paloma Health:⁠⁠Paloma Health ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is an online medical practice focused exclusively on treating hypothyroidism.

Many women don't realize there's a big difference between synthetic progestins and natural bioidentical progesterone when it comes to hormone support. In this short episode, Tara breaks down the key distinctions between these two types of progesterone, explaining why bioidentical forms are the safest and most effective option for women in midlife. Tara highlights the potential harms of synthetic progestins—which are commonly found in birth control pills, certain IUDs, and some hormone replacement therapies—including increased risks of breast cancer, negative cardiovascular impacts, mood disturbances, and more. In contrast, natural bioidentical progesterone supports sleep, mood, brain health, and overall well-being, without the risks associated with its synthetic counterparts. If you're on hormone therapy or using birth control, Tara encourages you to check what type of progesterone you're taking and consider making a switch if necessary. This episode is full of clear, empowering information to help you make the best choices for your long-term health as you navigate perimenopause and beyond.   Here's what you'll learn in this episode: What's REAL progesterone and what's FAKE? Tara breaks down the difference between bioidentical (aka body-identical) progesterone and synthetic progestins—and why you should absolutely care. Why progestins (the fake stuff) can be harmful Learn about the potential risks progestins carry, including higher chances of breast cancer, cardiovascular issues, and unwanted mood disturbances. How natural progesterone actually supports your health From better sleep to improved mood, bone strength, a happier heart, and even better hair—Tara reveals why this hormone is your BFF in midlife. Where these progestins are hiding Birth control pills, IUDs (hello, Mirena!), and even some outdated hormone replacement therapies are common culprits. Tara drops key brand names and what to watch out for (don't worry, she's listed them in the show notes too). What to do if you think you're on a progestin Tara offers concrete advice on how to talk to your healthcare provider about making the switch—and why there's almost always a natural, better alternative.   Commonly Used Progestins (synthetic forms): • Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) – used in Prempro, Provera • Norethisterone (Norethindrone) – found in some birth control and HRT pills • Levonorgestrel – used in IUDs (e.g., Mirena, Kyleena, Skyla, Liletta), birth control pills • Norgestrel – in some oral contraceptives • Drospirenone – in pills like Yaz, Yasmin • Desogestrel, Etonogestrel, Dienogest – in various contraceptive options   You may also enjoy these episodes: Episode 96: What is "estrogen kickback" when you start on progesterone HRT?

Birth control is a helpful option for many people, but it's good to understand how it might affect the body over time. Hormonal methods like estrogen and progesterone can change how your body produces certain hormones, which might make it harder to get pregnant later on. Some people also notice changes like weight gain or shifts in how their body handles insulin after long-term use.Non-hormonal options like copper IUDs work differently, but they can still cause inflammation in the uterus, which might affect things like implantation or fertility for some. If you're using birth control for reasons like acne or hormone balance, there may be other ways to support your body too. Knowing how these methods work can help you make choices that fit your long-term health and goals.Highlights of the Podcast00:00 – Intro & Disclaimer00:41 – Hormonal Birth Control & Fertility04:29 – Weight Gain & Hormonal Disruption07:08 – Copper IUD Effects12:28 – Preparing for Pregnancy & Health Tips

In this episode, Dr. Eleanor Bimla Schwartz and Dr. Kelly Treder discuss the misconceptions of tubal sterilization, including debunking notions that is it 100% fool-proof, that the surgery is reversible, that it is more effective than other contraceptive options, or that there is little to no pain post-surgery. “I think we do have fairly widespread misunderstanding of what it means to have your tubes tied. A lot of people seem to have the understanding that that would be something you could easily untie and that it would be a procedure that you could undo,” Dr. Schwartz says. They highlight how important it is for providers to be transparent with patients about long-acting contraception options (arm implant, IUD, vasectomy) and their effectiveness with preventing pregnancy, side effects, cost, accessibility, and longevity compared to surgery. Because of this, it is crucial for providers to be informed about the nuances of different contraceptive options. Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Treder provide firsthand insight into what difficult conversations surrounding contraceptives with patients can look like. “I think it's just our obligation to make sure that they know about all available options, that they're not arriving at this decision that they need to have a surgery because they think it's the only thing that's safe for them or the only thing that will work well for them,” says Dr. Schwartz.   This episode is a follow up to S4 E5 Lesser-Known Forms of Birth Control and Downplayed Side-effects: Providing Empowering Contraceptive Carewith Dr. Karlin and health educator Mariana Horne.

Mary Beth Cicero, co-founder of Three Daughters, shares how her passion for women's health led to the development of a new frameless, self-assembling magnetic IUD designed to significantly reduce the pain of insertion and retrieval. The device, inspired by embryo transfer techniques and using copper as its active ingredient, aims to improve comfort, eliminate strings, and offer a more body-conforming contraceptive option—especially for younger women deterred by current IUDs. As the product moves through clinical trials, the team is focused on both efficacy and ease of use, with hopes to expand into treating other uterine conditions in the future.

We live in an era where misinformation spreads faster than ever—shaping our beliefs, fueling our anxieties, and making it nearly impossible to separate fact from fiction. Why are our brains so susceptible to false narratives even when we know better? How do we resist falling for this stuff? And also, where is the line separating misinformation from harmless ~lore~ anyway? In this special episode, host Amanda Montell (@amanda_montell) reads an exclusive excerpt from her new book, The Age of Magical Overthinking, diving into the psychology behind misinformation, revealing some mistakes of her own, and exploring the linguistic tricks that make debunking a falsehood so much harder than believing it in the first place.

Overthinker Corrections: From our episode on toxins, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has faced controversy over the years, with critics arguing that it overstates chemical risks, relies on flawed methodologies, and promotes an organic marketing agenda. Despite these concerns, EWG defends its work as being rooted in a mission to protect public health and empower consumers to make safer choices. For those seeking alternative resources to the EWG, consider exploring Consumer Reports for independent product testing and safety insights, and Made Safe for certified non-toxic product recommendations. A couple of points made in our fertility interview—namely, the study about birth control pills disrupting pheromones and the implication that hormonal IUDs and birth control pills can cause the same side effects—are debated. Listen to Science Vs the Pill to learn more. Thanks for your listenership and thoughtful engagement!

She is an actress whose credits include Chicago Med, Good Trouble, and the reboot of MacGyver. She's a passionate unionist and serves on the board of directors of the Los Angeles local of SAG-AFTRA. Her story isn't just about making it in the entertainment industry—it's about breaking through barriers, both systemic and personal, and redefining what success looks like when life throws you curveballs. For over a decade, Kate silently struggled with endometriosis, a chronic condition that affects millions of women but is notoriously difficult to diagnose. Like so many others, she was dismissed by doctors, told that her pain was “normal,” and forced to keep pushing forward—because when you're trying to build a career in Hollywood, there's no calling in sick.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Endometrial ablation has become a cornerstone procedure in the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding, but is it the right solution for every patient that meets the indication? In this episode of the BackTable OBGYN Podcast, Dr. Ted Anderson from Vanderbilt University joins host Dr. Mark Hoffman to discuss the evolution of endometrial ablation and its contemporary utilization, including patient selection, technical considerations, and alternative treatments for abnormal uterine bleeding. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Anderson begins by detailing the history of abnormal uterine bleeding alongside the evolution of the endometrial ablation techniques that have been used to treat it. Shifting focus to current day practice, he then shares his approach to endometrial ablation, covering patient selection and the technical aspects of his approach. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Anderson emphasizes the importance of how we define success in endometrial ablation, explaining that eumenorrhea (normal bleeding that no longer interferes with life events) is the goal, as opposed to the more traditional view that amenorrhea is the target outcome. The episode closes with a discussion on the role of alternative treatments, such as the Mirena IUD and hysterectomy for abnormal uterine bleeding. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 09:29 - History of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding and Endometrial Ablation 23:31 - Evolution of Endometrial Ablation Devices/Techniques 31:11 - Selecting the Right Patient for Ablation Success 34:38 - Post-Tubal Sterilization Ablation Syndrome 38:27 - The Role of IUDs in Managing AUB 44:07 - Reevaluating Endometrial Ablation Success Metrics 49:55 - Innovative Ablation Techniques: Cryoablation and Steam 51:48 - Adenomyosis and Fertility-Sparing Treatments 57:28 - Final Thoughts

Medicine has traditionally been practiced “in silos”. But compartmentalization of medical practice/interventions can leave gaps in patient care. Patients win when they have increased access to a variety of medical therapies or contraceptive options. In this episode, we will review a brand new publication (released ahead of print) from the AJOG. We've decided to call this episode, “Internists, IUDs, and Inspiration”. Listen in for details.

Modern IUDs - intrauterine devices - are a safe form of contraception for most women. But this wasn't always the case. Author Chikako Takeshita traces the history and development of these devices, originally created for population control in 1960s, and talks about one IUD in particular, the Dalkon Shield, which would cause widespread harm to the women who used it, and in some cases, had lethal consequences.Click the 'Follow' button for more women's health stories.Show notes:The Global Biopolitics of the IUD: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262547840/the-global-biopolitics-of-the-iud/Chikako Takeshita: Associate Professor at the University of California Riverside - https://profiles.ucr.edu/app/home/profile/chikakotMore information about IUDs: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/24441-intrauterine-device-iud   New to Overlooked?

IUD's are called the most effective form of contraception, but women in this province say the procedures aren't always the same. Some say the issue is transparency in women's healthcare. The CBC's Sarah Antle looked into this.

I am excited today to connect with my friend and colleague, Jackie Piasta. Jackie is Vanderbilt-trained and has been board-certified as a women's and gender health nurse practitioner. She has been practicing since 2010. She serves on medical advisory committees for several foundations and co-hosts the justASK Podcast.  In our conversation, we dive into the challenges and complexities surrounding menopausal hormone replacement therapy and FDA-approved formulations, looking at the minute percentage of women currently on menopausal hormone replacement therapy. We discuss supraphysiologic-dosing of hormones and lab work strategies regarding prescribing lifestyle, and Jackie clarifies how she differentiates hypoactive sexual disorder from low libido and dysfunctional uterine bleeding from early menopause. We explore IUDs, ablations, and other long-term bleeding therapy options, explaining how endometriosis can impact the onset of menopause. Jackie also shares her approach to managing patients who have had ablations or are using IUD therapies and not getting regular menstrual cycles, helping them to determine when they transition into menopause. This conversation is full of valuable insights, and we look forward to having Jackie back for a further deep dive into this pivotal stage of women's health. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Jackie compares the varying information and lack of a one-size-fits-all approach in HRT with that of other medical treatments. Overwhelming options and fear surrounding HRT can make it challenging for clinicians to prescribe those treatments. How compounded HRT formulations differ from commercially available formulations The difference between a normal physiologic and a supraphysiologic dose How low libido differs from hypoactive sexual desire disorder Challenges of diagnosing menopause in women who have had ablations or hysterectomies or use long-acting reversible contraceptives   Importance of evaluating postmenopausal bleeding to rule out endometrial cancer Transparency and open communication with patients about the benefits and risks of HRT Other health interventions to be addressed alongside HRT How endometrial biopsies confirm the presence of uterine disease rather than ruling it out Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Jackie Piasta On her website   My Monarch Health on Instagram Jackie on Instagram The justASK Podcast

Hormonal birth control increases breast cancer risk in women with a BRCA1 mutation, but not women with a BRCA2 mutation. Levonorgestrel IUDs increase risk, but how much? The long-term risk of breast cancer coming back — recurring — as metastatic disease has gone down in the last 20 years, but younger women still have a higher risk than older women. What does all this mean? Breastcancer.org Professional Advisory Board member Dr. Kathy Miller discusses the details of these studies and how they may affect you. Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Miller discuss these studies: hormonal birth control ups risk of breast cancer in women with a BRCA1 mutation levonorgestrel IUDs increase risk breastfeeding after breast cancer seems safe the long-term risk of late, distant recurrence has gone down but age affects that risk

Questions answered this episode: I'm a part of a pro-life non-profit organization. Even though my journey began in 2015, it was only recently that I discovered the potentially abortive nature of many contraceptives leading me to remove my IUD. I'm married to a good husband. Unfortunately, he believes society's message that even within marriage the responsible thing to do is to use contraception when not ready. He understands that contraception and IUDs are immoral because they can be abortive. When I told him that I want to eliminate all forms of contraception, he got mad at me and told me that I'm becoming an extremist. I'm a victim of sexual abuse as a child and as a young adult. I know I'm called to marriage but I worry that when I do get there I will be less of a gift to my bride and that the marital embrace will not be what it should be due to the innocence that was taken from me. What advice do you have for me as a man to face this with Mary and continue to open myself to Jesus' redemption when I feel almost unredeemable? I got married 3 years ago and we have a little boy. I became pregnant soon after we were married and while the pregnancy wasn't incredibly difficult, it did have its challenges. Because of this, I fear looking back that my husband and I didn't learn to communicate or how to love each other well physically. Going into marriage, I believe that it was right to make love when the woman wasn't fully ready, and I certainly never was during pregnancy. However, after giving birth, it became extremely difficult and almost traumatic. And it became nearly impossible to come together. I actually felt terrible sadness, resentment and anger. I have overcome much of this but I still feel hurt form those years. For women who dread making love or don't enjoy it, how can a husband and wife help each other understand the other and approach this problem lovingly? Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II's beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.

Testosterone plays a critical role in women's health and shouldn't be overlooked! In this episode, Amy Stuttle is joined by Kristi Hales, R.Ph. to discuss the trans-formative role of hormone education in women's health. They discuss the key stages of perimenopause and menopause, highlighting how hormones like testosterone, progesterone, and estradiol impact everything from cognitive function and mood to bone density and cardiovascular health. Kristi educates on the benefits of compounded hormones, the role of hormone therapy in addressing migraines and UTIs, and the importance of personalized treatments for long-term well-being. This episode also touches on the overlooked role of hormones in postpartum depression, the efficacy of oral versus patch estradiol, and why hormone-informed care is essential for improving women's quality of life. Takeaways: WorldLink Medical provides evidence-based hormone education for healthcare providers. Perimenopause symptoms can begin as early as the 30s. Common menopause symptoms include hot flashes, brain fog, and sleep disturbances. Estradiol is essential for cognitive health and memory. Testosterone plays a critical role in women's health and shouldn't be overlooked. Progesterone has calming effects, improves sleep, and reduces anxiety by stimulating GABA receptors. Hormonal imbalances can contribute to postpartum depression. Hormonal therapy can help prevent recurrent UTIs, migraines, and bone density loss. Compounded hormones offer personalized dosing for optimal results. Cardiovascular protection may be better with oral estradiol versus transdermal patches. Statins may not lower cardiovascular risk effectively in women compared to hormone therapy. IUDs can be a preferable birth control option to maintain hormonal function during therapy. Quality of life is a crucial aspect of longevity.

Nikki is a reproductive rights advocate, licensed Physician Assistant, and founder/CEO of Take Back Trust, a platform empowering individuals navigating reproductive healthcare. With over a decade of gynecological expertise, 60,000+ social media followers, and experience as a Progressive News Correspondent and abortion fund board member, Nikki combines innovation, advocacy, and education to expand access to equitable care and inspire change. Today's Topics: What are the biggest concerns women face since recent election results? Should you stock up on birth control or switch to long-term options like IUDs or implants? How funding cuts to reproductive health programs may strip access to affordable routine care like pap smears and STI testing. Addressing the growing gap in healthcare access for women across socioeconomic lines. Will policies further limit family planning options, like IVF or egg freezing? Preparing the next generation: How can we protect the rights of daughters, nieces, and mentees? They called us hysterical when we warned about Roe. They said we were crazy when we fought to protect abortion rights. And yet, here we are. We can't afford to wait. We can't afford to be silenced. When it comes to our bodies, our futures, and our freedom, our voices matter more than ever. Let's turn “hysterical” into unstoppable.

Modern IUDs have been used for decades to prevent unwanted pregnancy and have been extremely effective at doing so. But they're not without side effects. With few places to turn, many patients have resorted to TikTok to describe their experiences of painful insertion and removal as well as cramping, changes in menstruation, and mood shifts. But patients don't have to be left in the dark. If there was more research into how different bodies react to IUDs, there's a chance patients can get the care they need without as drastic of side effects. On this week's episode of Well, Now Maya and Kavita talk with Dr. Kavita Nanda, the Director of Medical Research for FHI360, on why there is so little research into IUDs, what we do know about them, and how you or a loved one can prepare for a conversation with your doctor about them.

Modern IUDs have been used for decades to prevent unwanted pregnancy and have been extremely effective at doing so. But they're not without side effects. With few places to turn, many patients have resorted to TikTok to describe their experiences of painful insertion and removal as well as cramping, changes in menstruation, and mood shifts. But patients don't have to be left in the dark. If there was more research into how different bodies react to IUDs, there's a chance patients can get the care they need without as drastic of side effects. On this week's episode of Well, Now Maya and Kavita talk with Dr. Kavita Nanda, the Director of Medical Research for FHI360, on why there is so little research into IUDs, what we do know about them, and how you or a loved one can prepare for a conversation with your doctor about them.
