Doctors often use euphemisms to dance around the 'C' word. But for oncologist Dr Ranjana Srivastava, how you talk to someone with cancer goes beyond "shadows, lumps and lesions". It's all about compassion and clarity, even when honesty is difficult.Ranjana Srivastava was a young doctor in regional Australia, accompanying her consultant on his late night rounds when she heard a patient say something that stopped Ranjana in her tracks.It was in that moment that she finally knew what her speciality was going to be: oncology. Ranjana now works in Melbourne as an oncologist and an author.She often writes about the need for clarity and compassion in doctor-patient conversations, to deliver good news, bad news and everything that falls between.Ranjana had her own experience of being at the receiving end of devastating news when she was pregnant with twins.Ranjana has carried the lesson she received from her own doctor forward, into her work as an oncologist, where bearing witness to the attitudes of her patients has changed the way she sees the world and has helped put her own life in perspective.Further informationRanjana's latest book, Every Word Matters, is published by Simon & Schuster.She has published seven books about cancer and end of life care, including A Better Death, Tell Me the Truth, Dying for a Chat, So It's Cancer: Now What, and After Cancer: A Guide to Living Well.Ranjana also writes a regular column for The Guardian.In 2017, Ranjana was awarded an Order of Australia medal for her work as an oncologist and in improving doctor-patient communication.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

In this episode of Trying to Be Positive, Anne sits down with Whit to share a raw, hopeful fertility story: three losses, multiple failed transfers, and the heartbreak of “it's not going to happen."From the shock of recurrent pregnancy loss to navigating IVF, IUI, and surrogacy setbacks, Whit opens up about NK cells, low LAD, sperm DNA fragmentation, ERA/EMMA/ALICE results, and why “try another retrieval” wasn't the full picture. Anne breaks down what immune factors can mean for implantation and how small shifts in care, advocacy, and timing can change everything.If you've been told donor eggs or surrogacy are your only options or you're stuck after “normal” test results—this conversation is for you. You're not alone, there is hope, and your questions matter.
If you've been diagnosed with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), or have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss or failed IVF, you may be wondering if natural killer (NK) cells are playing a role. In this episode, Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile, explains what NK cells are, when testing may be helpful, and why many reproductive endocrinologists dismiss it. You'll hear how functional fertility strategies, addressing inflammation, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and immune balance; differ from conventional medicine and can improve egg quality, implantation, and pregnancy outcomes. We also cover what progressive fertility clinics are doing, what the research says, and how to decide if immunotherapy or intralipids are right for you. This episode is for you if you've had multiple implantation failures or miscarriages, feel dismissed by “normal” test results, and want evidence-based options to support your fertility journey.

Today I pull back the curtain on an often-overlooked aspect of fertility: your partner's sperm health. In this episode, I dive into how sperm quality can profoundly influence placental development, affect the risk of miscarriage, and shape your baby's long-term health. You'll also discover why hearing “everything is normal” from your doctor isn't always the final word and why traditional labs miss the subtle, yet important, nuances hidden beneath the surface, especially in men who appear healthy and do all the right things. Episode Highlights: Nora is back from her summer break and shares what's new — including an exciting return of one of her fertility coaching offers. Why men's sperm quality and quantity are declining, and what does it mean for fertility? Nora digs into the surprising factors most people overlook. Sperm does more than deliver DNA, discover its hidden role in shaping early pregnancy from the very start including the placenta Could poor sperm health be quietly contributing to miscarriage risk? Nora unpacks the science you may not have heard. Practical steps you can take right now: how advanced testing and a deeper look at “optimal health” (not just normal ranges) may transform fertility outcomes.

In this episode, we're joined by Joel Costigan, a longtime educator, soccer coach, and dad to a 7-year-old daughter named Ruby.

Joel shares what he learned navigating a busy, adventure-filled season as both planner and playmate, his biggest parenting fears, and the surprising joys (and challenges) of being a hands-on “girl dad." After the chat, stick around for Marc's family vacation story, complete his boys' accidental new signature move: "Peen pinching."Episode 128 of Modern Dadhood opens with a brief catch-up between the guys about the back-to-school season, and they discuss their plans to see friend-of-the-show Pete Holmes.

Norah's first birth experience was a medical induction that left both her and her husband traumatized. Despite this, she knew she wanted to have more children. The journey to her second baby, however, was long and difficult—marked by a miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy, secondary infertility, and eventually, IVF. Norah ultimately conceived her second baby naturally and began preparing for another birth. As part of her preparation, she visualized the birth exactly how she wanted it to unfold, replaying the scene in her mind each night before falling asleep. But every time she did this, she would fall asleep before reaching the part where they arrived at the hospital to deliver. In retrospect, Norah understands why—her baby had other plans! follow Norah @thenorah If you love the show, I would greatly appreciate a review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

In this episode, my ATL Loss Mama friend, Lara, tells us about her sweet 1st son Malek who passed at 28 weeks. She has since had her 2nd son Sami who is turning 1. Lara has a rare autoimmune disorder which could possibly play a part in her pregnancies. However, there just isn't much research or information out there. We discuss warning signs, not knowing what they were, lack of information during pregnancy and what that means for subsequent ones. We hope this shines some light for anyone dealing with similar disease and wanting to bring home living babies.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Heart and Hustle Podcast, your favorite besties get raw and real about one of the most sensitive topics a friend can face: supporting someone through a miscarriage. Whether you've been there yourself or simply want to show up well for a friend who's hurting, we're giving you the no-BS guide to being the kind of friend who truly cares — from what to say (and definitely NOT say), to how to check in weeks or months later when the rest of the world has moved on. We'll walk you through thoughtful ways to show up — like remembering their due date, marking Mother's Day, or dropping dinner at their door without making them decide what they need — and we'll also call out the phrases and faux pas that can hurt more than help (spoiler: “at least…” has no place here). Plus, we're sharing how to navigate sharing your own pregnancy news with a friend who's experienced loss with empathy, tact, and love. Above all, this conversation is a reminder that the most important thing you can do is simply show up — imperfectly, wholeheartedly, and with a heart that says, “I'm here, and I love you.” --------------------------------- Imposter Syndrome Freebie: https://theheartuniversity.com/imposter --------------------------------- Website Templates: www.theheartuniversity.com/website-templates --------------------------------- Check Out Our Course Library: https://theheartuniversity.com/courses --------------------------------- Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@theheartuniversitychannel?si=33lzxpBA9UxKlgTE --------------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here. --------------------------------- “PODCAST10” for 10% off anything from The Shop! www.theheartuniversity.com/shop --------------------------------- Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and attorney Eric Bland — discuss the power of victim impact statements in the Bryan Kohberger case. Kohberger was charged in 2022 shortly after the horrific killings of four Idaho college students, whom he stabbed to death while they slept. His victims' loved ones used the power of their voices to let the court — and the public — know how many lives have been affected by this one man's depravity. Mandy, Liz and Eric discuss the importance of these victim impact statements and — in a case like this one — who these statements are for... Also on today's show, a discussion about the Florence County Sheriff's Office's arrest of a woman who miscarried at 18 weeks and the agency's menacing response to a journalist after she requested the police report on the investigation.
We're diving into the top functional and conventional tests to consider after the second trimester or late pregnancy loss, especially if you've been diagnosed with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). If you've had a second trimester loss or late pregnancy loss after 20 weeks and been told “everything looks normal,”this episode is for you. We dive into what's often overlooked in conventional care and how a functional fertility approach can help uncover underlying imbalances that impact conception, hormone health, and pregnancy outcomes. In this episode we cover 7 categories of testing to consider after late loss especially if you have low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, autoimmune issues, recurrent miscarriage, or unexplained infertility. You'll learn: The top clotting and thrombophilia markers to test (including Factor V Leiden and antiphospholipid antibodies) Which inflammatory and immune markers (hs-CRP, ANA, cytokines, NK cells) are often missed and why they matter How the vaginal microbiome and hidden infections like ureaplasma can cause second-trimester loss The role of chronic stress, adrenal hormones and the HPA axis in pregnancy outcomes Why a comprehensive blood chemistry panel can reveal nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances that are missed by conventional labs Key methylation and genetic SNPs (like MTHFR) that impact detoxification, clotting and hormone metabolism The impact of gut health and stool testing on immune tolerance, estrogen balance and inflammation We'll also explain how this whole body functional lens can guide your next steps in preconception planning, whether you're trying again naturally or preparing for IVF. This episode is for you if: You've experienced a loss after 14 weeks of pregnancy and are seeking deeper understanding and support. You want to explore both conventional and functional medicine approaches to uncover underlying causes. You're looking for practical lifestyle, testing, and healing strategies to improve future pregnancy outcomes. --- TIMESTAMPS [00:00:00] Introduction: Late term pregnancy loss overview, compassion, and what to expect in this episode [00:02:30] Functional fertility testing for late term loss thrombophilia panel, immune markers, inflammation, and infections [00:06:00] Stress hormones, nervous system support, and comprehensive blood chemistry for improving pregnancy outcomes [00:09:00] Blood sugar, insulin, and comprehensive thyroid testing in pregnancy loss [00:12:00] Genetic testing, including MTHFR mutations and the importance of body healing before conception [00:14:30] Role of gut health, infections, and estrogen metabolism in pregnancy loss --- RESOURCES
