It's true! I increased my bone density 5% in just two years, without any hormones, medications, or special supplements. All the goodies are in here. Faster Way To Fat Loss Osteoporosis Modifications for Pilates Puff Puff Pilates NEW - Transcript: Hey everybody, it's Lynda Lippin. Welcome back to the Pilates Goddess podcast. I am so thrilled to be here with you in February 2026. Even though you know, things in this world are really hard right now. Things in this country are really hard right now. 0:19 I'm personally having an OK entrance into 2026, so the biggest thing that's happened over the last two years for me is that I did manage to pay off a chunk of debt that I really needed to pay off. 0:44 I worked my little butt off to do that and I also managed to increase my bone density by 5% in the last two years. That's right, 5%, another 3% and I will be back to normal range and not in osteopenia anymore. 1:07 And I also managed to pack on about 20 lbs of muscle but net lose about 20 lbs. So you know, I am just happy with how the body is working right now. And in addition to all of this, because I have so much arthritis in my joints and they are indeed going to need to be replaced, I'm seeing a physiatrist at Mount Sinai and we're kind of working through some stuff. 1:32 But realistically, you know, I can't 'cause my joints any much more harm. And right now it's good for me to be in less pain to kind of reset my nervous system, get my sleep back on point, maybe get off more of the gabapentin because THC seems to be working well for my pain. 1:54 That the injections that I'm getting, steroid injections, in my hip and shoulder and my neck will keep me pain free enough to avoid the joint replacements for another year or two. 2:12 That's all I'm doing. Like I know I need the joints replaced, but I'm not ready to do that now. And the way forward is to basically shoot 3 in 1 oil in there like the Tin Man. But I got to tell you, I had my left hip injected last Thursday and it felt so much better. 2:38 I had kind of a rough Thursday, you know, because the injection site gets sore and I was tired and whatever, But by the time I went out on Saturday, I was feeling like significantly better. I can walk stairs now without having to hold on to the banister, which is really exciting. 2:56 My balance is better. I don't have to limp when I first get up from bed or the couch, which was starting to happen. And I'm getting my shoulder injected next Thursday and I am so excited because my left shoulder is so clunky and so fucked up that if to just have that smoothed out a little is gonna be awesome. 3:21 Now, these things are temporary, right? So an injection might last, you know, three to six months. So I just figure, you know it somewhere between probably two and four times a year, I will need to go get these shots. 3:37 And when I'm tired of that, I'm gonna get my joints replaced and I will then be bionic and even more awesome than I am now. All right, in other news, Puff Puff Pilates is going really well. 3:55 I, as I'm sure you can all imagine, am really enjoying this Stoner Pilates goddess era of my life. I am thrilled to be open about my use of cannabis, about my use of cannabis for pain, for anxiety, regulation, for sleep, for all kinds of things. 4:18 I've been doing it for 47 years, my friends, but it's finally legal, so I talk about it. And if you want to know if I talk about it with my doctors as freely as I do here and with friends and whoever wants to hear about it, yeah, I do. 4:35 My doctors all know what I do. They all know how much plant I use, how I use it, and they're all fans because I'm doing well. So let's kind of deep dive into what I've done for the Osteoporo Osteopenia and why. 4:59 As you may know, if you've been a long time listener of the podcast or you know me or you've read some of my articles, my struggles with endometriosis. For most of my life I had pretty severe endometriosis with bladder and bowel involvement. 5:16 I was in pain, I had to pee all the time, felt like I had a urinary tract infection even though I didn't for like 2 years. That was fun and finally had a total abdominal hysterectomy about 30 years ago after a year of being on Lupron, which is an injection that a monthly injection that essentially stops any kind of sex hormone in your body. 5:47 So it stops estrogen, it stops progesterone, it stops testosterone, all the things, right. I therefore have had low estrogen levels, which are intrinsic, you know, crucial to bone strength for much of my life. 6:09 In addition, I struggled a lot with food when I was like 12/13/14 and and a little bit after that. My mother was bipolar and there was just a lot of dysregulation going on around me and people didn't always notice really what I was doing. 6:34 So I regulated food and I was eating literally 600 calories a day. I remember 600 calories a day. I was writing down my meals, and that's really not enough calories to build bone for an adolescent girl. 6:52 So in addition to the hormonal challenges, you also have kind of the old anorexia challenges. But now I'm good with food, right? And I'm really good with exercise. 7:09 During the two years prior to my last bone density scan, I was in horrible, horrible chronic pain from long COVID. And with that chronic pain, I could not do a lot of strength training or high intensity exercise. 7:31 I had to really stick to very low intensity Pilates, you know, yoga, very low intensity in home, like walking and cardio workouts and such things as that. Pain started to abate. 7:48 I discover that my bone density is like down. I went from normal. I went from like at least 0.3 to -1.8. So I looked at the results of that DEXA scan. 8:06 I saw osteopenia in my lumbar spine and I said hell no, no, no, no, not today. Osteopenia. I am not dealing with this shit. I do not have time. So the first thing that I did is I know of an extraordinarily effective online at based community based resistance training program called Faster Weight of Fat Loss. 8:37 I've talked about it on here before. The founder, Amanda Tress, is a friend of mine. I was a beta coach for her for many moons and knew her before. Faster way. And it's effective and basically half an hour a day, half an hour to 45 minutes. 8:58 So I let my husband know that I was signing back up for the program. I reached out, I signed back up, and because I'm a pretty talented personal trainer who knows you know how to do things, I was easily able to translate all of the resistance workouts where they were using kettle bells or dumbbells into one dumbbell and bands and tubing. 9:36 I live in a studio apartment with my husband. All of my workout equipment fits into a small drawer. I use heavy tubing. I mean, I have metal doors so my my doors can take the weight. I overhead press, you know, 30 lbs of tubing. 9:56 I chest press 60 lbs of tubing off the door right now. It you know, I'm using heavy stuff and I use also looped mini bands for things like preacher curls and concentration curls. I've really broken down the entire program into doable band and tubing and I just started working out. 10:24 Now, when I first started back on faster way, I was certainly not using this level of resistance. I think I was using maybe a 10 LB tubing and maybe a 20 LB tubing and that was like as far as that was going. And then I, you know, as things get easier or sometimes I can tell, you may think this is funny, but I connect my tubing to the bottom of my bathroom door, which faces my galley kitchen and my microwave. 11:01 So if I'm doing chest pressing and I get super close to the microwave, I know it's time for me to up the resistance and get something new. And then I start further back so that I am consistently challenging myself. 11:19 If you've ever used looped mini bands at all the colored ones, I now deadlift with the extra heavy. The heavy and the light. So you know, it's it's a lot it's a lot of poundage, but being consistent and doing the work has led to me having 5% more bone density without having to take medication. 11:54 I didn't start any hormone therapy. I haven't taken any shots. There's nothing else is going on. I'm resistance training and if you don't do classical Pilates, but you're doing some other form of of Pilates that might be a little faster paced, that might use slightly lighter resistance. 12:19 I want you to understand that that work is not necessarily going to give you bone strengthening benefits in the way that working on classical Pilates equipment will. Now why is that? Because the springs are heavier, there's no ball bearings in the wheels on the reformers, so a lot more strength is required and a lot more strain through the larger muscles. 12:46 And every single exercise is modifiable for osteopenia or osteoporosis. I don't give a shit what anybody says. You can go on my website, go to lintalippman.com/everything and you will see teacher workshops that I recorded, very simple ones for Matt and for all of the apparatus just talking about osteoporosis modifications. 13:15 So I started doing more Pilates. I added in the faster weight of fat loss resistance training and I'll put a link to all these things in the show notes. But doing the consistent work led to me increasing my bone mass and my strength and my muscle mass. 13:37 Now it was very interesting and I want to talk to you about this because I think this is important for everyone to hear. OK, this is not just me patting myself on the back. It is important for everyone to hear is that we can all do this. 13:54 It just requires the work. If you're not the kind of person who wants to exercise with an app then and or you are comfortable with working out at home, but you want somebody say on Zoom to be watching your form and help put you through that, then you know, contact me, contact some online trainers and get somebody to do that with you. 14:19 OK, That's a thing people do that if you are not comfortable working out at home, but you want to go to your gym, then go to your gym. There's also a gym track actually in faster way to fat loss. So if you want to go to the gym, they take you through the whole workout using the equipment you would commonly find any any gym. 14:42 But again, if you want to use tubing, if you want to use free dumbbells or free weights, if you want to use kettle bells, that's, you know, easy, easy, easy to do. So when I went to see the physiatrist at Mount Sinai for my intro visit, we kind of talked about my joints and my body. 15:03 And he saw where I could move and where I couldn't move. And, you know, we started talking about injections and joint replacements and things. So when I came back into him after I had had, you know, the X-rays and the MRI of the neck and I came back in to get my hip injected, he said to me, do you want to have a phone call in two weeks about this hip injection? 15:33 Or would you rather come back in and let me do your shoulder? And I of course, was like, let me come back in and do my shoulder. So I'm doing that next week. But he said to me that my range of motion and my strength were remarkable. 15:51 That was the word he used - remarkable. He he informed me that my hypermobility has both hurt me and helped me over the course of my life. And that I know! We discussed the fact that I was right over the past few years in prioritizing strength and protection around my joints as much as I could instead of prioritizing mobility. 16:16 That I was right in prioritizing strength so that now I have the bone mass if I need to get joint replacements. Yeah. Hello. And he was like, you have done remarkably. You have the most mobility and the most strength in these really horrible joints. 16:40 He's like, if I, if I looked at you move and I looked at your X-rays and didn't know they were connected to the same human, I wouldn't necessarily believe that they were connected to the same human. So I was thrilled. I was thrilled with that because frankly, my friends, this is what I do. 17:00 This is what I do for my clients. This is what I do for, you know, my loved ones and this is what I do for myself. What I'm really good at is binding those areas of weakness in the body, getting the nervous system to calm down enough so that the body is able to move in a better way and then really work on strength and mobility. 17:33 I view it almost as trying to put, say, a badly arthritic shoulder in the best place. I envision where the bones could be or should be for the best movement. And then what I do strength-wise is basically try to build enough scaffolding around that joint using some of the muscles that maybe aren't there or overstretched or aren't working so well. 18:06 Build scaffolding around that so that the majority of the time the joint holds in place and functions properly. There are a few positions which some of my Pilates teachers have seen over the past six months where that shoulder is clearly not, not able to work properly. 18:27 And I and I, I can picture Melissa Castro at Real Pilates just going, "don't do that. I don't like that shoulder!" when I was on the chair. So this happens. But you know, we age or if we are prone to arthritis, our joints get arthritic. 18:50 If we were prone to hypermobility, sometimes we moved our joints in inappropriate ways, dislocated things, had things popped back in. We've had car accidents, we've had boat accidents, we've had falls. We've, you know, lived and I view the role of exercise, the role of Pilates, the role of anything that we're doing literally to keep us feeling and functioning at our highest levels for as long as we can. 19:23 Feel and function at your best for as long as you can. OK, That's all I'm asking. That's all I wish for you. So, my friends, you know I love you so much. I know life is really hard right now in these United States and in this world, OK? 19:46 I am feeling for the people in Maine and Minnesota and and California and Chicago, and like everywhere, I am feeling deeply, deeply for all of us. 20:04 And I wish you all the best, but I'm telling you right now, if you can get your body to feel and function as best as it can, and I promise you that is at a much higher level than you may think. 20:22 Because I am feeling and functioning at a much higher level than even my like Mount Sinai physiatrist thinks I should be. That is a great place to start because if you're doing better, then you can help other people do better. 20:41 So I leave you with that.

Ep 311: What Is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome: Exploring OHSS

  Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. What is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)? OHSS is a condition that can occur after ovarian stimulation, most often during IVF cycles, when the ovaries respond excessively to fertility medications. Who is at highest risk for OHSS? Patients at increased risk include women with a high egg count, younger patients, and patients with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). Does pregnancy increase the risk of OHSS? Yes; a fresh embryo transfer can increase the risk because the pregnancy hormone (hCG) may worsen or prolong OHSS symptoms. How has the risk of OHSS decreased in modern IVF treatment? The use of GnRH agonist (Lupron) trigger shots has dramatically reduced the risk by quickly lowering estrogen levels and preventing severe symptoms. How is OHSS treated? Treatment focuses on symptom management; medications such as cabergoline (Dostinex) and letrozole may be used to lower estrogen levels and shorten symptom duration. When should patients call their doctor about OHSS symptoms? Patients should call immediately if they experience low urine output, an inability to drink fluids, severe abdominal pain, shortness of breath, or pain or swelling in the arms or legs. Why is it important to call your doctor if you are concerned? OHSS can be serious, and early evaluation and treatment are critical. Patients should always contact their doctor if they are worried about symptoms. This podcast was sponsored by U.S. Fertility.

La bambina trans di National Geographic ora dice: "mi hanno rovinato la vita"

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8376LA BAMBINA TRANS DI NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ORA DICE: ''MI HANNO ROVINATO LA VITA'' Forse ricorderete Avery Jackson, il volto simbolo dell'ideologia gender infantile. E ricorderete quando, a nove anni, finì sulla copertina del National Geographic come "prima bambina transgender". Oggi, a diciassette anni - secondo quanto riportato su X dall'attivista Diana Alastair, femminista "old school" e "gender critical", impegnata da anni a difendere spazi, sport e istituzioni riservati alle donne - Avery avrebbe annunciato di identificarsi come non binario e asessuale, ma senza nessun risvolto positivo. Anzi. Avery Jackson, infatti, avrebbe dichiarato di non provare più alcuna attrazione sessuale verso nessuno ed è - tra l'altro - una condizione che non sorprende chi conosce gli effetti del Lupron, il farmaco usato per bloccare la pubertà e che negli Stati Uniti viene somministrato anche ai minori che si "dichiarano" trans.Avery ha ricevuto il cosiddetto "gold standard" delle cure di affermazione di genere: ovvero iniezioni di Lupron, lo stesso principio attivo impiegato per castrare chimicamente i criminali sessuali. Un modus operandi sui bambini che definire drammatico è poco, se pensiamo anche alle parole della presidente della WPATH (la World Professional Association for Transgender Health), il chirurgo transgender Marci Bowers che ha ammesso pubblicamente che questi "bloccanti" provocano una castrazione chimica, impedendo per sempre le capacità sessuali. Nei delinquenti adulti l'effetto è reversibile, nei bambini e adolescenti no. Il farmaco, infatti, ha fermato la crescita ossea, lo sviluppo cerebrale e la maturazione emotiva di Avery, rendendolo sterile e privandolo di un'intera fase della vita. Lui stesso ha dichiarato che la transizione «ha rovinato la mia vita», parole che pesano come un macigno su chi ha celebrato la sua storia come esempio di "liberazione".Su questo tema si sta muovendo drasticamente il Regno Unito, anche se bisogna sottolineare come il pericolo di trasformare i minori in "cavie" sia sempre dietro l'angolo. Il paese d'Oltremanica, infatti, ha già annunciato e ha già limitato drasticamente i bloccanti della pubertà per i danni irreversibili documentati su fertilità, funzione sessuale e sviluppo cognitivo. Allo stesso tempo è stato annunciato uno studio che dovrebbe coinvolgere almeno 220 bambini, anche di soli 11 anni, per il quale la dottoressa Hilary Cass ha dichiarato: siccome «clinici, bambini e famiglie credono con passione» ai benefici dell'approccio affermativo, serve uno studio per chiarire e avere evidenze scientifiche. L'intera vicenda - soprattutto la storia di Avery Jackson - conferma quanto possa essere pericolosa un'ideologia quando viene vista quasi come una "fede", più solida delle evidenze scientifiche e mediche. La prova, insomma, che l'industria della transizione infantile non si ferma davanti a nulla, nemmeno davanti al dolore di chi, come Avery, oggi porta sulle spalle una vita spezzata e ingannata.

Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this episode, our docs take a deep dive into one of the most pivotal decisions in an IVF cycle: when and how to trigger for egg retrieval. They break down the thought process behind choosing between an HCG trigger and a Lupron trigger, explaining why the choice isn't one-size-fits-all. One of the biggest advantages of a Lupron trigger is its ability to dramatically reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a key consideration for patients with a high response to medication. But Lupron doesn't work for everyone. The docs explain why patients with hypothalamic amenorrhea must use HCG to ensure proper follicle release, and why a fresh embryo transfer also requires an HCG trigger for optimal luteal support. The docs also discuss the many clinical clues that guide trigger timing. These include a patient's historical response to stimulation, whether they're planning a fresh or frozen transfer, and crucial hormonal cues such as a drop in estrogen that can signal impending ovulation. They even share how sometimes they bring patients into the office for an ultrasound on retrieval day to confirm that spontaneous ovulation hasn't occurred. Finally, they cover the selective use of combined HCG + LH triggers, and which patients benefit most from this approach.  This is a must-listen for anyone wanting a behind-the-scenes look at how reproductive endocrinologists make one of the most important calls in an IVF cycle.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Suzanne: Thank you for your time in advance. In late 2021, my husband was diagnosed with Stage IV prostate cancer. He underwent six rounds of chemo along with Eligard injections. After his last scans, whole body and bone, we were told the cancer is "stabilized". He is currently on 300 mg of Nubeqa 2x a day (down from 4 x because I asked about it) and Lupron injections every 3 months. We have consciously changed our diet (no added sugar, no alcohol, no processed foods) and he is doing pretty well, although, he does fatigue and sweat easily. My question is whether you believe that taking a couple of your home tests would be beneficial for him? I worry about these powerful drugs he is being given and have noticed a reluctance from the doctor about reducing his drugs any further. Thank you again!                                                Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I recently went for blood work. I fasted for 14 hours and was wondering what your thoughts are specifically regarding my Lipid Panel and Iron Panel. My triglycerides is 1.83, Total 4.05, HDL 1.72 and LDL 1.63 (all mmol/L). For iron my levels are 37 umol/L, iron binding 0.70 umol/L, and ferritin 44 ugL. My Dr says she's concerned with my triglycerides. How can I lower it? And shes concerned with my ferritin and iron levels so shes sending me for a Hemochromatosis blood test to see why the levels are off. (My fasting glucose is 4.9, hbA1c is 5.2, TSH is 1.04 and Auto CBC is 3.8). Would love your thoughts and any food and supplementation recommendations would be appreciated! Love you and all the best to everyone on their health journey!                                                            Madhia: Hello My Dr is giving me a hard time to prescribe MRI for my breast exam.

Now his wife has also been diagnosed with it. I am aware it is caused by a tick bite. He constantly has mass cell inflammation including breathing and allergy issues. Could you please explain specifically how this disease affects the body's immune system and which of your protocols should be used to bring the body back into balance.

Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this listener Q&A episode, the docs take on an emotionally tough but important topic: what to do after a failed IVF cycle. They dive deep into strategies to improve egg numbers, enhance embryo quality, and increase the chances of implantation success in future cycles. The conversation includes how a hysteroscopy can help detect fibroids or polyps that might create inflammation in the uterus, the impact of bacterial inflammation, and diagnostic tools like the ReceptivaDx test, which checks for the inflammatory marker BCL-6. BCL-6 may be linked with inflammation from endometriosis. The docs also touch on evaluating sperm DNA fragmentation and exploring the uterine microbiome. For those with positive signs of inflammation, treatment options such as Lupron or even laparoscopy to remove endometriosis are discussed. And don't miss the discussion on progesterone timing for frozen embryo transfer cycles—why the number of hours of exposure to progesterone can be critical for opening the window of implantation at just the right time. Tune in for a practical, science-based guide to navigating next steps after IVF doesn't go as planned. This episode was sponsored by ReceptivaDx.

Diana Ash had suffered from irritable bowel syndrome much of her life, but in 2019, she believed the IBS symptoms she felt were something altogether different.  Her concerns were proven correct when an ultrasound indicated a mass near her abdomen the size of a “mini football.”  Not long after that, she was diagnosed with Stage 1C Ovarian Cancer.  Diana underwent an oophorectomy, a surgical procedure that successfully removed one ovary and one fallopian tube.  After the surgery, she had to undergo BEP chemotherapy, an extremely aggressive regimen.  However, she achieved survivorship and has written a book about her experience.   Diana Ash led an active lifestyle in her hometown of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  She enjoyed hiking, running and diving; but ever since she was a small child, Diana dealt with irritable bowel syndrome.  In 2019, in addition to IBS' typical symptoms, she experienced fatigue and loss of appetite.  When she sought medical attention, she was told her problem was IBS and nothing more.  To Diana, that was not a satisfactory response.   She insisted on blood work and an ultrasound.  The latter revealed a mass near her abdomen.  It measured 10 X 16 cm, or as she said, “the size of a mini football.” Diana pressed doctors for more information and accurate information, and she was eventually diagnosed with Stage 1C ovarian cancer.  She was shocked with the diagnosis, but relieved that her cancer had been caught at an early stage, which is not typical for those diagnosed with ovarian cancer.   Diana underwent an oophorectomy, a surgical procedure which removed one of her ovaries and one of her fallopian tubes.  The surgery was a success, but her surgeon said the procedure was the easy part of her treatment.  Next up was an extremely aggressive chemotherapy regimen.  BEP chemotherapy includes cisplatin, bleomycin and etoposide.  Diana experienced the usual side effects, but was even more difficult was her being told that she would no longer be able to run or dive.   There was also the matter of childbearing.  She received a Lupron injection, which meant she had to deal with its side effects while dealing with the side effects from her chemo regimen.  She was eventually able to freeze some of her eggs, which will enable her to have kids.   Diana Ash achieved survivorship and wants to help others diagnosed with cancer.  Fueled by a message emphasizing optimism and self-advocacy, she wrote “Take Back The Power,” available on Amazon.  The book was written in English, but as a bilingual Canadian, she hopes to one day translate the book into French.   Additional Resources:   Diana's Book: “Take Back The Power,” a guide for young women with cancer

There is a fantastic piece done by Nathaniel Blake at The Federalist titled, Strangling For Sexual Sport Is Exactly The Kind Of Thing We Should ‘Kink-Shame'. The percentage of young women who have been choked during sex is horrifyingly high. This is happening because it is what porn is showing young men to do. In his piece, Blake critiques an article written by the New York Times in which the writer seems genuinely concerned that young women are being choked during sex. But, the writer can not bring herself to criticize it, for fear of kink shaming, and instead advocates for porn literacy. We also take a look at how Graham Linehan was canceled for speaking out against the lie of transgenderism and now is receiving some justice after his career was destroyed for speaking the truth. What does God's Word say? 1 Peter 3:7 ESV  Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.Proverbs 31:10-11 ESVAn excellent wife who can find?

Dive into the intricate world of fertility treatments in this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday with your host, Dr. Mark Amols. This week, we're zooming in on trigger shots—those crucial injections that help synchronize ovulation with reproductive procedures like IUI and IVF. But what are trigger shots exactly, and why are they so important? Dr. Amols will guide you through the different types of trigger shots, including hCG and Lupron, and explain how each one functions to optimize fertility treatment outcomes.Discover why hCG is favored for its longer half-life and lower cost, and how it mimics natural hormones to kickstart ovulation. We'll also explore the strategic use of Lupron to reduce the risks of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and why sometimes, a combination of both is used. Dr. Amols will shed light on the biological processes involved, from how trigger shots lead to the resumption of meiosis in eggs, to their role in ensuring egg maturation and readiness for fertilization.Packed with scientific insights and peppered with Dr. Amols' straightforward explanations, this episode is not just for those undergoing fertility treatments, but anyone interested in the science of human reproduction. So, grab your taco and settle in for a detailed exploration of how timing truly is everything in the world of fertility medicine.

Dr. Berg’s Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast

In this podcast, I'm going to share an incredible potential natural alternative to help slow the signs of dementia. The drug Lupron works to suppress certain cancers because it suppresses certain sex hormones. New research has also shown that Lupron can decrease dementia symptoms. Lupron is a potent suppressor of luteinizing hormone. Luteinizing hormone is made by the pituitary gland and signals the body to produce hormones like progesterone and testosterone. As we age, luteinizing hormone increases significantly. Patients with Alzheimer's have higher amounts of luteinizing hormone than people with normal cognitive function. High levels of luteinizing hormone significantly decrease progesterone. Progesterone is a very powerful neurosteroid, so it supports the development of neurons. Women have more progesterone, so they often have fewer adverse effects if they experience a traumatic brain injury. Progesterone minimizes inflammation in the brain cells, enhances serotonin, prevents apoptosis, and decreases blood-brain barrier leakage. After menopause, progesterone significantly decreases in women. For men, this decline can happen around 70 years of age. Melatonin can suppress luteinizing hormone, which indirectly increases progesterone. Research on mice has shown that melatonin and exercise may help halt dementia symptoms. DHEA and pregnenolone also work to suppress luteinizing hormone and increase progesterone. DHEA also suppresses cortisol. To decrease luteinizing hormone with melatonin, you'll need a much larger than average dose. You can also stimulate melatonin by going to bed with the lights turned down, increasing sun exposure, or sitting by a campfire. Around 95% of melatonin can be obtained from the sun's infrared rays.

“Intersex” is often considered part of the “LGBTQIA+” community. But how do people with this condition feel about their inclusion that category?The more accurate and respectful term, “disorders of sexual development,” encompasses more than 40 different medical diagnoses. Today's guest, James Linehan, has one such DSD. Undiagnosed until age 16, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism prevented James from experiencing normal puberty. James had to undergo extensive treatment, and will forever remain a lifelong medical patient, causing a cascade of impacts on his mind, body, and relationships.James' lived experiences give him a unique perspective on today's fraught gender wars. After decades of living with his condition, James learned that his unique form of suffering is now being needlessly inflicted on vulnerable, otherwise physically healthy youth. Puberty blockers (GnRH agonists, such as Lupron), which are now commonly prescribed off-label to gender-questioning youth, induce conditions like James', raising major ethical concerns.Today we break down myths vs facts of DSDs and address what happens when identity politics and culture wars seek to appropriate real medical conditions faced by truly disadvantaged minorities. James expresses his frustration with the politicization of these conditions and the misrepresentation of the experiences of individuals with disorders of sexual development. We discuss the impact of his condition on fertility, relationships, and mental health.Throughout the episode, James challenges misconceptions and encourages listeners to approach these topics with empathy and a willingness to learn. James's story sheds light on the complexities of living with a disorder of sexual development and the resilience required to navigate the medical and emotional challenges associated with it.James Linehan is an IT and AI consulting professional with a background as an instructional resource specialist and an adjunct lecturer in sociology. He has a disorder of sexual development called hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, which he has been managing, medically, and learning about for over 40 years. James is passionate about raising awareness and understanding of diverse disorders of sexual development beyond the limited representation commonly discussed. He emphasizes the exploitation of individuals with DSDs and advocates for informed consent and ethical medical practices. He criticizes the politicization of intersex conditions and the distortion of narratives by trans activism. He wishes to share this long-term study about his condition, emphasizing that it is important to understand that Lupron causes iatrogenic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4380912/Episode mentioned:30.

October 13, 2023 Ray, Mark, and Scott discuss questions from the Urology Coding and Reimbursement Group.Are injections like Lupron and Prolia and the administration given by an advanced practice provider subject to the 85% reimbursement or are these reimbursed at 100% even if given by a nurse practitioner?Are 11006 and 97606 appropriate here for wound vac?OPERATION: Debridement of Fournier's gangrene.DRAINS: Wound VAC, 16-French Foley catheter.OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE: The patient was brought into the operating room, placed in supine position on the operating room table. After administration of IV antibiotics and anesthesia, the patient was repositioned in dorsal lithotomy position, prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. The wound measured approximately 30 cm x 14 cm and went from the left inguinal region through the left perineum and to the posterior left buttocks. Using a curettage, we proceeded with additional debridement of all the raw surfaces. Spot electrocautery was used as needed for hemostasis and the wound was irrigated copiously with antibiotic irrigation. The sharp debridement was done to the level of the dartos fascia and Colles fascia. Once we had finished the sharp debridement, we went ahead and decided to place a wound VAC. A black sponge was placed into the wound and then carefully placed using the sticky plastic and put it to suction. Given the location, it was a bit challenging but we were able to place the wound VAC to suction. Given that the wound extended near the posterior buttocks, it was near the anus which would likely be an issue for maintaining suction if the patient had a bowel movement. The patient tolerated the procedure well.Mark Painter and PRS ConsultingSchedule a call with Mark Painter / PRS ConsultingUrology Documentation, Coding, and Billing CertificationFor Urologists and APPs (Click Here for Pricing, More Information, and Registration)Documentation, Coding, and Billing Fellowship - Urology (DCB-FS) For Coders, Billers, and Admins (Click Here for Pricing, More Information, and Registration)Documentation, Coding, and Billing Specialist Certification (DCB-SC)Documentation, Coding, and Billing Master Certification (DCB-MC)Urology Advanced Coding and Reimbursement Seminar(Click Here for More information and Registration) Las Vegas, December 1 & 2, 20238 am - 4:30 pm Friday, 8 am - 3:30 pm SaturdayNew Orleans, January 26 & 27, 20248 am - 4:30 pm Friday, 8 am - 3:30 pm SaturdayReserve your spot and save!As a Urology Coding and Reimbursement Podcast listener, you get access to a discount (expires 8/31/23).Use code: 24UACRS733Get signed up today and get peace of mind knowing you will be prepared for all the upcoming changes.The Thriving Urology Practice Facebook group.The Thriving Urology Practice Facebook Group link to join:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ThrivingPractice/ Join the discussion:Urology Coding and Reimbursement Group - Join for free and ask your questions, and share your wisdom.Click Here to Start Your Free Trial of AUACoding

In this two-part journey, Shauna and Rosalina detail the mental, emotional, financial, and physical struggle of hormone therapy through — and following — treatment. At points, Shauna felt like she was one continuous experiment, fighting fire with fire and piling on medications that put her in a dark place for the better part of a year. Rosalina and Shauna are on their five-year medication regimen, with Rosalina having experienced menopausal-like symptoms of insomnia, hot flashes, brain fog, and joint pain that lasted over a year and a half.With the help of a new workout regimen, Rosalina no longer experiences joint pain, but her other symptoms vary from week to month. She has found other coping mechanisms to help with insomnia and shared them with Shauna, who has also been having sleepless nights and hot flashes. Shauna shifted gears with a new oncologist at the end of 2022, who — along with a newfound support group — guided Shauna with empathy and compassion as she navigated the oftentimes treacherous lanes of hormonal therapy.Episode Timestamps:[00:01:35] Housekeeping Items/Updates[00:02:18] Rosalina's Update - Side Effects of Hormone Therapy[00:07:19] Rosalina's Brain Fog and Fatigue[00:11:28] Shauna's Joy of Having a Period Again[00:15:39] Shauna's Update - Revisiting Hormone Therapy[00:20:13] Starting Verzenio[00:24:52] Diarrhea and It's Many Joys[00:28:54] To Guinea Pig or Not To Guinea Pig[00:35:59] Side Effects and Symptoms[00:39:51] Advice to Your Former SelfListen to Our Hormone Therapy Part 1 episode in S2Click here to leave us a voicemail about what advice would you give to individuals or organizations who are considering supporting breast cancer awareness and research efforts through donations or other means?Resources:The Monarch Trial: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32954927/Verzenio Copay Assistance: https://www.verzenio.com/savings-supportIf you enjoy this episode, please share it with your friends.

Fertility clinics are dealing with an especially high volume of patients these days. Some centers in NYC, for example, are telling patients they can't see them for a few months. It's now become the norm to do multiple IVF cycles before achieving success. That said, many doctors are so busy that they don't have time to think about the protocol they are designing for you. While the standard medication protocols work well for many,  some ladies require more creativity than others. Generally, this is the case with women who have low ovarian reserve and/or mysterious issues with implantation failure. As always, my goal is to get you to realize your dream of a baby, and fast. I love to emphasize the importance of integrative medicine to get you to your goal in no time. And part of that is getting in the know about your options for IVF treatment. In today's session, we dive into a more Western approach to IVF protocols and inform you on how to get the most out of these treatments.

Correcting the Actual Misinformation About Gender Ideology

A recent CBS News article claims, in its very title in fact, to separate “medical facts from misinformation” around so-called “gender-affirming care.” However, rather than separate the facts from the falsehoods, the article peddles lies and half-truths, assuming the conclusions it claims to prove in a thinly veiled piece of progressive propaganda. And that's about the nicest thing that can be said about it.  The first dead giveaway about the piece is how it smuggles transgender ideology into its chosen language and terminology. Rather than refer to boys and girls, or young males and females, the author refers to “kids with testes” and “those with ovaries.”   The piece then claims to set the record straight about what is involved in diagnosing gender dysphoria and administering “gender-affirming care.” Here, too, its claims could not be further from the truth. According to the author, “the process informing these treatments is a long and intensive one.” This directly conflicts with an increasing number of testimonies from whistleblowers and de-transitioners who sought out this kind of care, not to mention the information given by providers like Planned Parenthood.   According to a whistleblower and former case manager at Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital, “[T]he majority” of young people who came to them “received hormone prescriptions.” Likewise, Helena Kirschner, a young woman who detransitioned, received testosterone as a teenager after her very first visit to Planned Parenthood.    It's notable that Planned Parenthood doesn't even cover up this information. On some office webpages, the abortion giant happily promotes that “[i]n most cases your clinician will be able to prescribe hormones the same day as your first visit. No letter from a mental health provider is required.” Getting high-powered, life-altering drugs on your first visit hardly involves a “long and intensive” diagnosis process.   The piece also falsely presents the effects of chemical “transition” interventions as reversible and harmless, peddling the lie that puberty blockers are like a “pause button” for puberty, which can be stopped and restarted with no long-term effect. Contrary to this claim, recent studies have found that the lasting adverse effects of the puberty-blocking drug Lupron, which is used to halt puberty primarily in young girls, include brittle bones and faulty joints. The piece also tries to soften the truth about cross-sex hormones by saying that some of their effects are reversible. However, changes caused in secondary sexual characteristics, such as deepened voices, facial hair, breast growth, and infertility are not reversible in the least.   At the heart of most transgender propaganda is the claim that transitioning children has mental health benefits and can save them from suicide. Unsurprisingly, this piece repeats that claim while ignoring the facts that do not line up. The piece cites a popular but deeply flawed study among trans-advocates that those who received cross-sex hormones as minors had better mental health outcomes than those who received them as adults.   However, the study's flawed design makes it impossible to sufficiently isolate cross-sex hormones, or lack thereof, as the determining factor of mental health outcomes. In fact, better research shows the opposite conclusion. For example, in states where youth were able to access chemical “transition” interventions without parental consent, youth suicide rates were higher than those who required parental consent. Additionally, the longest-term study on the effects of transitioning has found that those who transition are over 19 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population.   Far from causing harm, denying irreversible and sterilizing chemical and surgical interventions actually helps children who are distressed by their bodies. Granted time and space, many learn to accept their bodies and God-given identities. However, propaganda pieces like this one published by CBS confuse those called to care for children and only contributes to their harm. If journalists and media outlets really want to dispel misinformation and help vulnerable children, they should stop blindly repeating the lies of gender ideologues.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Jared Eckert.

The transgender phenomenon is fast becoming the concern of parents worldwide, and a big problem is that those who question its validity get labeled transphobic, especially if they're a conservative Christian. The shooting in Nashville, TN has even furthered the debate, as the shooter identified as trans. The controversy has pitted supporters of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones against those who call those drugs dangerous and believe that gender is immutable. Now stepping into the fray, is Dr. Jeff Myers, head of Summit Ministries. His new book, co-authored by Brandon Showalter of The Christian Post, endeavors to expose the truth. On the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Myers talks about "Exposing The Gender Lie: How To Protect Children and Teens From The Transgender Industry's False Ideology." Myers says a growing number of teens are "finding their bodies irreversibly disfigured due to radically invasive and medically unnecessary surgeries." He says the puberty blocker Lupron is not even approved by the FDA for treatment of Gender Dysphoria, which according to Abigail Shrier, author of "Irreversible Damage", is a mental health problem that up until 2007 or so, affected about .01% of teens. The explosion of teen girls experiencing gender dysphoria has been called a social contagion, the same origin of the growth of anorexia and bulimia. Bottom line, says Myers, is Gender Dysphoria is a mental health problem that's being treated with surgery, permanently disfiguring a perfectly healthy teenage body. Learn more about your ad choices.

You know those IDIOT REPUBLICANS who think that SCIENCE hasn't TOTALLY PROVEN that puberty blockers and hormones are AWESOME????? And TOTALLY REVERSIBLE????? Well two MOUTH-BREATHING IDIOTS who probably also HATE CRT and PUPPIES are so BIGOTED they don't even ACCEPT the MEDICAL CONSENSUS.(Show notes a bit longer and more in-depth than usual this week to help everyone follow along, double-check stuff, etc.)Show notes/Links:Carole hooven DESTROYS jon stewartThe state lawshttps://www.kff.org/other/issue-brief/youth-access-to-gender-affirming-care-the-federal-and-state-policy-landscape/Jesse on the state laws in 2020The vote went down after the episode was recorded, but Florida has now banned yuth gender medicine, with exceptions for those already receiving it and future research projectshttps://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/04/health/florida-gender-care-minors-medical-board.htmlThe full episode of Stewart's show: https://tv.apple.com/us/episode/the-war-over-gender/umc.cmc.1jj39s607lehulo4k0iscsarp“I don't send someone to a therapist when I'm going to start them on insulin.”https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/07/when-a-child-says-shes-trans/561749/“Historically, mental health professionals have been charged with ensuring ‘readiness' [she puts that in scare quotes] for phenotypic transition, along with establishing a therapeutic relationship that will help young people navigate this very same transition. These 2 tasks are at odds with each other because establishing a therapeutic relationship entails honesty and a sense of safety that can be compromised if young people believe that what they need and deserve (potentially blockers, hormones, or surgery) can be denied them according to the information they provide to the therapist.” This excerpt strongly suggests she doesn't believe in the traditional gatekeeping role a mental-health clinician might play in a situation like this, helping to determine if a young person will benefit from transitioning.https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/article-abstract/2504256Kids — sorry, sorry — “adolescents” — getting double mastectomies at 13 or 14https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29507933/“Suicide Attempts among Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Adults: Findings of the Naitonal Transgender Discrimination Survey.”https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Trans-GNC-Suicide-Attempts-Jan-2014.pdfn.b.: “Without such probes, we were unable to determine the extent to which the 41 percent of NTDS participants who reported ever attempting suicide may overestimate the actual prevalence of attempts in the sample.” And:Finally, it should be emphasized that the NTDS, like all similar surveys, captured information about suicide attempts, not completed suicide. Lacking any information about completed suicide among transgender people (due primarily to decedents not being identified by gender identity or transgender status), it may be tempting to consider suicide attempt data to be the best available proxy measure of suicide death. Data from the U.S. population at large, however, show clear demographic differences between suicide attempters and those who die by suicide. While almost 80 percent of all suicide deaths occur among males, about 75 percent of suicide attempts are made by females. Adolescents, who overall have a relatively low suicide rate of about 7 per 100,000 people, account for a substantial proportion of suicide attempts, making perhaps 100 or more attempts for every suicide death. 13 suicides per 100,000 in a GIDS samplehttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-022-02287-7Insanely high rate of 2.8% in a Belgian clinical samplehttps://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8706800/file/8707586.pdfT H E G U I D E L I N E SStewart: So these, the guidelines that you wrote, because you were responsible with the endocrine board for writing guidelines of care for endocrinology.Safer: The Endocrine Society, yesStewart: The endocrine society.Yes.Stewart: And that was based on, uh, research papers, data, the things that you saw. Intervening with gender affirming care which may be just being respectful or, as they get older some of these other things. You've seen that have a reduction in depression, a reduction in suicide — that's what you've studied.Safer: Absolutely.Nothing about mental health improvement, lotta assessment-talk, “low evidence” at best https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/102/11/3869/4157558?login=false#99603239The Ibuprofen System For Evidence Assessmenthttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK470778/table/app2.t2/Erica Anderson and Laura Edwards-Leeper take their concerns to the Washington Posthttps://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/11/24/trans-kids-therapy-psychologist/Jesse's interview with Anderson on BARPodRutledge: We don't have enough data, we don't have enough to show that these drugs are effective and that these children are better off. And that we should encourage…Stewart: You don't have enough, or it's not enough for you? I've got some bad news for ya. Parents with children who have gender dysphoria, have lost children, to suicide, and depression. Rutledge : They absolutely have.Stewart: —because it's acute. And so these mainstream medical organizations have developed guidelines through peer reviewed data, and studies. And through those guidelines, they've improved mental health outcomes.Rutledge's read on the evidence is perfectly reasonableHere's Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare:For adolescents with gender incongruence, the [National Board of Health and Welfare] deems that the risks of puberty suppressing treatment with GnRH-analogues and gender-affirming hormonal treatment currently outweigh the possible benefits, and that the treatments should be offered only in exceptional cases. … To minimize the risk that a young person with gender incongruence later will regret a gender-affirming treatment, the NBHW deems that the criteria for offering GnRH-analogue and gender-affirming hormones should link more closely to those used in the Dutch protocol, where the duration of gender incongruence over time is emphasized.https://www.socialstyrelsen.se/globalassets/sharepoint-dokument/artikelkatalog/kunskapsstod/2022-3-7799.pdfAnd here's Finlands' Council for Choices in Health Care, via an unofficial translationIn light of available evidence, gender reassignment of minors is an experimental practice. Based on studies examining gender identity in minors, hormonal interventions may be considered before reaching adulthood in those with firmly established transgender identities, but it must be done with a great deal of caution, and no irreversible treatment should be initiated. Information about the potential harms of hormone therapies is accumulating slowly and is not systematically reported. It is critical to obtain information on the benefits and risks of these treatments in rigorous research settings.https://segm.org/sites/default/files/Finnish_Guidelines_2020_Minors_Unofficial%20Translation.pdfNHS headed same wayhttps://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/specialised-commissioning/gender-dysphoria-services/user_uploads/b1937-ii-specialist-service-for-children-and-young-people-with-gender-dysphoria-1.pdfDutch stuffhttps://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0092623X.2022.2121238https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0092623X.2022.2046221Depression and suicidality linked to blockers, perhaps rarelyhttps://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2016/019732s042,020517s038lbl.pdfThttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3693622/“Testosterone Therapy is Associated With Depression, Suicidality, and Intentional Self-Harm: Analysis of a National Federated Database”https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1743609522012449#:~:text=Testosterone%20use%20was%20independently%20associated,testosterone%20deficient%20sub%2Dgroup%20analysisThe book to read on Thttps://www.amazon.com/Story-Testosterone-Hormone-Dominates-Divides/dp/1250236061The desistane literature is by no means “debunked,” and if you actually read the studies, no, the clinicians who wrote them did not confuse a bunch of merely gender nonconforming kids for genuinely gender dysphoric onesThese studies aren't perfect and come from different contexts, but they consistently tell the same storyhttp://www.sexologytoday.org/2016/01/do-trans-kids-stay-trans-when-they-grow_99.htmlThat story probably doesn't apply to kids who socially transition at a young age https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/04/health/transgender-children-identity.htmlhttps://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/2/e2021056082/186992/Gender-Identity-5-Years-After-Social-Transition?autologincheck=redirected%3fnfToken%3d00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000Even at the bigger clinics that do take a multidisciplinary approach, and where kids could theoretically get comprehensive, holistic care, that isn't always happeninghttps://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-transyouth-care/In interviews with Reuters, doctors and other staff at 18 gender clinics across the country described their processes for evaluating patients. None described anything like the months-long assessments de Vries and her colleagues adopted in their research. At most of the clinics, a team of professionals – typically a social worker, a psychologist and a doctor specializing in adolescent medicine or endocrinology – initially meets with the parents and child for two hours or more to get to know the family, their medical history and their goals for treatment. They also discuss the benefits and risks of treatment options. Seven of the clinics said that if they don't see any red flags and the child and parents are in agreement, they are comfortable prescribing puberty blockers or hormones based on the first visit, depending on the age of the child. “For those kids, there's not a value of stretching it out for six months to do assessments,” said Dr Eric Meininger, senior physician for the gender health program at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. “They've done their research, and they truly understand the risk.”2020 Finnish studyhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31762394/Those who did well in terms of psychiatric symptoms and functioning before cross-sex hormones mainly did well during real-life. Those who had psychiatric treatment needs or problems in school, peer relationships and managing everyday matters outside of home continued to have problems during real-life. … Medical gender reassignment is not enough to improve functioning and relieve psychiatric comorbidities among adolescents with gender dysphoria. Appropriate interventions are warranted for psychiatric comorbidities and problems in adolescent development.Jack Turban misinterpreting it:https://archive.ph/wip/x6LGWGIDS study comparing a group of kids with serious mental health problems who were delayed access to youth gender medicine to a group of kids who were able to start sooner because their mental health was solid enoughhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26556015/Severely distorted UW study also found no improvement among kids who went on youth gender medicineYet another study out of GIDS, on kids from 12 to 15 years old who went on blockers, found no mental-health improvements, full-stophttps://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0243894Littman defends Littman's research methodshttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-020-01631-zThat dumb chartWe also have chartshttps://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21929361-000-multiple-personalities-takedown-of-a-diagnosis/http://www.fmsfonline.org/?ginterest=RecoveredMemoriesInTheCourts“Another significant issue raised with us is one of diagnostic overshadowing – many of the children and young people presenting have complex needs, but once they are identified as having gender-related distress, other important healthcare issues that would normally be managed by local services can sometimes be overlooked.”https://cass.independent-review.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Cass-Review-Interim-Report-Final-Web-Accessible.pdfNHS changes course on the safety/reversibility of blockers in 2020https://www.transgendertrend.com/nhs-no-longer-puberty-blockers-reversible/[Michael Hobbes got mad at me for posting this because he doesn't like Transgender Trend, but holy hell is that stupid: They are simply summing up and putting into writing a change to the NHS website, and they're citing a BBC report on the same subject. -Jesse]OLD LANGUAGE: The effects of treatment with GnRH analogues are considered to be fully reversible, so treatment can usually be stopped at any time after a discussion between you, your child and your [multidisciplinary team]NEW LANGUAGE: Little is known about the long-term side effects of hormone or puberty blockers in children with gender dysphoria. Although the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) advises this is a physically reversible treatment if stopped, it is not known what the psychological effects may be. It's also not known whether hormone blockers affect the development of the teenage brain or children's bones. Side effects may also include hot flushes, fatigue and mood alterations.Serious Lupron side effectshttps://www.statnews.com/2017/02/02/lupron-puberty-children-health-problems/For years, Sharissa Derricott, 30, had no idea why her body seemed to be failing. At 21, a surgeon replaced her deteriorated jaw joint. She's been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition. Her teeth are shedding enamel and cracking. None of it made sense to her until she discovered a community of women online who describe similar symptoms and have one thing in common: All had taken a drug called Lupron. Thousands of parents chose to inject their daughters with the drug, which was approved to shut down puberty in young girls but also is commonly used off-label to help short kids grow taller. The drug's pediatric version comes with few warnings about long-term side effects. It is also used in adults to fight prostate cancer or relieve uterine pain and the Food and Drug Administration has warnings on the drug's adult labels about a variety of side effects. More than 10,000 adverse event reports filed with the FDA reflect the experiences of women who've taken Lupron. The reports describe everything from brittle bones to faulty joints. In interviews and in online forums, women who took the drug as young girls or initiated a daughter's treatment described harsh side effects that have been well-documented in adults.Caroline Jemsbyhttps://www.journalismfund.eu/journalists/carolina-jemsbyGULDSPADENhttps://archive.ph/wip/GFuryClip in questionhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1bL4WWMCs46dCKweZzz0gBj1AqE62k3oj/view?usp=sharingFull unlocked interview with JesseGLAAD is glad journalists are falling in linehttps://www.glaad.org/blog/jon-stewart-sets-record-straight-gender-affirming-carehttps://www.glaad.org/blog/john-oliver-explains-why-gender-affirming-care-is-so-importantBut sometimes nothttps://www.glaad.org/gap/jesse-singalJesse's response to the original version of his page (he hasn't yet responded to the new one, which went up after this, because life is short): The TikTok Doc yeets some teetshttps://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/26/health/top-surgery-transgender-teenagers.htmlWhoops:Dr. Gallagher of Miami said that she follows up with patients for up to a year. “I can say this honestly: I don't know of a single case of regret,” Dr. Gallagher said in May, adding that regret was much more common with cosmetic procedures. But one of her former top surgery patients, Grace Lidinsky-Smith, has been vocal about her detransition on social media and in news reports. “I slowly came to terms with the fact that it had been a mistake born out of a mental health crisis,” Ms. Lidinsky-Smith, 28, said in an interview.So basically, these clinicians are claiming top surgery has incredibly low regret rates, but they're simply not bothering to keep in touch with their patients. And one year is not very long for followup on this — if you give a kid top surgery at 15 or 16, one of the questions is whether, as their peers sexually develop and start families, they'll at some point wish they had breasts. It's a totally natural, important question, and you can't answer it if your patients are disappearing into the void just one year after you perform surgery on them.Age guidelineshttps://www.cdc.gov/hiv/policies/law/states/minors.htmlOliver: So the benefits of providing care are immense and the risks of withholding it are dire. A survey of around 28,000 trans people found that of those who wanted hormone therapy and didn't receive it 58% reported suicidal thoughts in a given year, which is why the three major professional associations of Child and Adolescent doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists have endorsed gender affirming care and condemned efforts to deny it. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0261039This study is ridiculous and doesn't even show any correlation between access to hormones and improvement on the more serious suicide measures anywayOliver: You may have seen or heard from a small subset of people who D transitioned but it is worth noting such cases are rare and highly individualized. Studies show an average of just 2% of people who transition expressed regret. And the vast majority of those who have opted to detransition did so not because of changes in their gender identity but due to external factors such as stigma and lack of social support. Supposedly 1% - 2% regret ratehttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8099405/Lost to follow datahttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Yog0cUgVufxoTY64q-ll1wr7XcBhuqKD/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=102378063559486309340&rtpof=true&sd=trueOliver is relying not on a study of detransitioners, but on individuals who currently identify as transhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8213007/Littman study of detransitionershttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34665380/Reasons for detransitioning were varied and included: experiencing discrimination (23.0%); becoming more comfortable identifying as their natal sex (60.0%); having concerns about potential medical complications from transitioning (49.0%); and coming to the view that their gender dysphoria was caused by something specific such as trauma, abuse, or a mental health condition (38.0%). Homophobia or difficulty accepting themselves as lesbian, gay, or bisexual was expressed by 23.0% as a reason for transition and subsequent detransition. The majority (55.0%) felt that they did not receive an adequate evaluation from a doctor or mental health professional before starting transition and only 24.0% of respondents informed their clinicians that they had detransitioned.  This is a public episode.
