Meet the Guest: Dr. Susan Caldwell Dr. Caldwell is a NAPRO-trained women’s health and fertility specialist, former birth control prescriber, and cradle Catholic who didn’t always agree with Church teaching... until science (and some divine nudging) got her attention. This episode is full of important info, but please remember: This isn’t medical advice. Talk to a trusted physician (preferably one who respects your faith and your fertility!) before making any health decisions. The Big Shift: From Pill-Pusher to Pro-Woman Doc Dr. Caldwell shares her eye-opening journey: -Took the Pill herself for 10 years, thinking it was “just what women do” to pursue professional goals. -Prescribed it for years without question...until she started seeing patterns: breast cancer, strokes, blood clots in young women. -She realized the risks weren’t “one in a million” flukes. They were dangerously underplayed. -When she actually looked into the science and pathophysiology, it blew her mind and opened her heart to what the Catholic Church had been saying all along. The Risks Are Real (And They're Not "Just Catholic") Here’s why any woman should be concerned: 1. It’s a Group 1 Carcinogen That’s the same level as cigarettes and asbestos. We don’t call that “healthcare.” 2. Mental Health Meltdown Taking birth control while your brain is still developing (under 25) can cause permanent anxiety and depression. 3. Damaged Fertility Many women who delay pregnancy find out too late that birth control sabotaged their fertility. 4. It Can Kill Babies Many forms of contraception don’t just prevent pregnancy; they can act as abortifacients. Little lives lost without anyone knowing. It’s Not Just About Morality. It’s About Mercy. Dr. Caldwell stopped prescribing the Pill... not just because of Church teaching, but because she couldn't, in good conscience, ignore the science anymore.She even apologized to patients she’d previously prescribed it to. Was it scary? Oh yeah. Did some patients walk away? For sure. But many stayed, listened, and even came back later with more questions. Seeds planted. Real Talk: Women Deserve Better Timmerie and Dr. Caldwell passionately argue that: -Contraception is bad medicine. -Women are not being told the truth about their bodies. -It's not “just a Catholic issue.” It’s a human dignity and health issue. -There ARE life-affirming, science-based alternatives (like NFP and NAPRO) that actually support women’s health. Share the Truth. Start the Conversation. Because women deserve to know the full story... not just the easy one. Know someone who’s on the Pill “just because”? Share this episode. You might be the spark that leads them to real freedom.

Insulin resistance is increasing in the American population especially (and surprisingly) among young women. Is this just women with PCOS? Can you have it if you don't have pre-diabetes? Can you have insulin resistance without weight concerns? Laura and I tackle this topic because it impacts so many women -- their overall health, women's health, cycles issues and infertility. We talk about how insulin resistance can impact ovulation, why balance between insulin and glucose is so important, lifestyle changes that can help, and how to know when lifestyle changes aren't doing enough. ChaptersIntroduction to Restorative Reproductive MedicineUnderstanding Insulin ResistanceInsulin Resistance and PCOS ConnectionThe Role of Insulin in Reproductive HealthManaging Insulin ResistanceDiagnosis and Treatment Options for Insulin ResistanceNOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences. Our guest, Laura Ducote, is a Family Nurse Practitioner with training in NaProTechnology and is currently a FertilityCare Practitioner at Woven Natural Fertility Care. Work with Laura at My Catholic DoctorOther episodes you might like: Ep.31: The NAPRO difference, with Laura DucoteEp.92: Glucose is for everyoneEp. 156: Using DHEA to naturally increase hormones & fertility, with Laura DucoteSend us a textSupport the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!

DHEA is a bit of a secret weapon when dealing with estrogen and progesterone deficiency. If you're looking to naturally boost your fertility, you need to know about this supplement.

Timmerie brings up a sensitive but crucial topic: why IVF isn’t the hopeful solution it’s often made out to be. The Heart of the Issue: Timmerie tells you about a real-life story: a Catholic couple who struggled with 10 years of infertility. They were tempted by IVF but chose to trust God's plan instead of using third-party reproductive tech. The good news is that they finally had a natural conception just months later! But then came President Trump's executive order promoting wider access to IVF. His goal is more babies, stronger families. Noble intentions, right? But Timmerie hits pause and says, “Wait... there’s more to this.” So, What’s the Big Problem with IVF? Timmerie says that IVF isn’t just a “magic fix” for infertility. It carries serious risks and moral dilemmas: High Failure Rate: 93% of embryos don’t survive the process. Yup, you read that right... only 3-7% result in a live birth. That’s a lot of tiny lives lost in the process. Strain on Marriages: Studies (especially out of Scandinavia) show that 1 in 3 couples who go through IVF end up divorced: even if the IVF was “successful.” The emotional toll is real. Financial Burden: IVF isn’t cheap: think $12K-$25K per round. Most couples go through multiple rounds, racking up huge bills. Some end up in serious debt chasing that dream of a baby. Ethical Dilemmas: IVF often leads to practices like selective reduction (aka abortion) when many embryos implant or when some don’t meet desired health/genetic standards. Women’s Health Risks: IVF puts intense strain on a woman’s body, especially if underlying health issues aren’t addressed. A Better Way? Yes! Instead of IVF, Timmerie suggests NAPRO Technology: a science-backed, Church-approved method that works with a woman’s body to restore fertility naturally. It tackles root causes like: Hormonal imbalances (progesterone) Thyroid issues Endometriosis Poor egg/sperm quality And even scar tissue from past health conditions NAPRO is about healing the body and respecting God’s design for life. Final Thoughts: Timmerie’s not here to shame couples struggling with infertility; it’s heartbreaking and hard. But she urges us to ask:

I love client stories like Braelyn's. She and her husband were struggling to conceive a pregnancy and her OBGYN sent her to a Reproductive Endocrinologist for fertility treatments. The options she found there weren't what she expected. In today's episode, she shares their story of walking through fertility treatments unsuccessfully and eventually changing direction to focus on conceiving naturally, and in a way that honored their faith. Braelyn's story is one worth hearing! I know you'll enjoy it. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences, but does focus on the topic of infertility and fertility treatments. Show Notes: Ep 149: Fertility Journey Transformation with Josiah and CallieEp. 145: Dan & Lindsey's radically different approach to infertilityEp. 102: Rebecca's Story of Secondary Infertility Send us a textSupport the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Initially I asked Dr. Teresa Hilgers of the world renowned Saint Paul VI Institute to come on our show to address the effect of contraceptives, especially oral contraceptives, on women's overall health. She did that and much more. It is our hope that you will take the time to listen or watch the interview and share it with friends and family. In addition your Parish Priest will find it helpful when addressing fertility issues with young couples, especially those preparing for marriage or dealing with infertility. I invite you to join the conversation as we address the important topic of natural fertility care with Dr. Teresa Hilgers and explore the revolutionary innovations of the St. Paul VI Institute. Learn firsthand about the creation and global impact of the Creighton Model and NaPro Technology, developed by her father, Dr. Thomas Hilgers, along with his dedicated team. Discover how these groundbreaking methods support women in achieving or delaying pregnancy, while addressing a variety of gynecological issues in harmony with their natural cycles.Dr. Teresa Hilgers also shares her expert insights on the ethical and medical implications of using birth control pills for health purposes beyond contraception. We discuss the significant side effects and the failure of these pills to address underlying health issues, offering an alternative perspective grounded in ethical medicine and aligned with the Catholic Church's teachings. You'll also gain a deeper understanding of natural family planning as a viable and effective alternative for delaying pregnancy and the value of understanding fertility cycles as a couple.Explore the critical importance of fertility education, the risks and benefits of birth control, and the need for proactive diagnosis of conditions like endometriosis. Dr. Teresa provides valuable resources for finding NaPro doctors and outlines the global reach of their practice.

We are big fans of NaProTechnology at Woven Well, because this unique approach investigates the root causes of reproductive health concerns like PCOS, PMS, Luteal Phase defect, and endometriosis. For many women, this restorative approach is all they need to finally get some answers and individualized care. But there are some who still have a "missing piece." This was how Dr. Melissa Weidert felt as she served a NaProTechnology OBGYN and surgeon. She loved NaPro, but knew she needed a complementary education to provide to some of her patients who still struggled. Now, she's opened her integrative health clinic and provides holistic reproductive care and fertility treatments to men and women. Utilizing hormonal panels, HTMA, bio resonance testing, mold and parasite investigation, and more, she seeks the root causes of reproductive health concerns and addresses them at their core. She joins us today to talk about this approach and how it serves men and women with reproductive health issues. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences. GUEST BIO: Dr. Melissa Weidert officially launched her virtual medical practice, Fiat Fertility & Wellness, in the Fall of 2023 after many years in restorative reproductive medicine. She has a strong passion for NaProTECHNOLOGY and trained as a NaPro surgeon. Combining this knowledge with functional medicine and holistic health practices allows her to walk alongside women, men, and couples on their unique health journeys. She lives with her husband and son and is a proud Wisconsinite who enjoys the outdoors, strong coffee, and quality conversations. You can find her soaking in the sun rays, working the soil into a new garden, and taking time to be present with those she loves.      If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to give us a 5 star review!

If you have been tired of the "band-aid" approach to healthcare, particularly in women's health, then you will want to hear about Naprotechnology. Otherwise, referred to as Natural Procreative Technology, Napro is considered a more root cause approach to women's health care. It is designed to cooperate with the natural cycle and restore the underlying problem back to health. Naprotechnology was developed in the early 1990's by Dr. Thomas Hilgers an OB/GYN who also developed the Creighton Model System of Natural Family Planning. This charting system is the foundation of Napro and it is used by doctors, NP's and other health care professionals as a diagnostic tool to understand diagnoses like; infertility, endometriosis, PCOS, PMS, abnormal bleeding and so much more. It has been very successful for many women, especially in the area of infertility with statistics showing that it is more successful then artificial reproductive technologies to achieve pregnancy. We hope this episode of The Hormone Genius will empower you to have another tool in your toolbox, another option for taking care of your female body. One that respects the natural design of your hormones and the superpowers that we have as women. To learn more about Naprotechnology check out these sites: naprotechnology.com fertilitycare.org byitsfruit.org factsaboutfertility.org Please continue to share our podcast, leave a review, and help other women be empowered to become the genius of their own hormones.

I'm frequently asked how clients can share fertility suggestions with their friends. They want to share the exciting things they're learning through their own fertility education process, but don't want to overstep or say the wrong thing. This is especially true when it comes to IVF alternatives. Many ladies talk to friends who hate the IVF process, and yet their friends aren't sure how to suggest alternatives. This episode is designed for those who want to meet their friends where they are and provide a hopeful, supported alternative to fertility treatments that may not be serving them well. Enjoy these tips that can be applied to all sorts of fertility related conversations among friends! This could apply to in vitro fertilization, birth control, IUD use, recurrent pregnancy loss or miscarriage, and more. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for most audiences, but does discuss the sensitive topic of infertility and loss, including IVF procedures and artificial reproductive technologies.

From the miraculous stories of women who defied doctors' warnings about childbirth, to the profound significance of a rarely performed Mass, to the advice given to a Catholic woman facing pressure to move in with her fiancé, Patrick covers it all. Patrick comments more on John's call from the end of the previous hour about taking birth control pills for medical reasons Katherine - Perhaps Bella's husband has been having this issue for a long time, maybe he lacked the emotional maturity for getting into marriage Leah - Advice for John's daughter: Napro technology from Pope John Paul II Institute. They prescribe bioidentical hormones and they get to the root cause of the menstrual cycle being off, or any infertility issues. June – What did St. Paul mean when he said, “you should die to thyself.” Patrick reads and responds to a Reddit post: My Catholic fiancé wants me to move in with him before the wedding Father Len - I'm a priest in Milwaukee. Comment about home Masses: one of the most profound experiences I've had was doing the Mass of the viaticum. Kathy – Comment on living together: My husband and I had 6 kids before we were married in the Church. When we came back to the Church, the priest had us live in separate quarters before our marriage. It was so great! Benson – I lived with my now wife for 6 years before we got married. I didn't think marriage was necessary. Kathleen - I know of couples who lived together that broke up before the wedding. Hermine - I just had my 6th baby (at 35 years old). My last pregnancy was very difficult. I have a very irregular menstruation. We have been trying NFP. We are getting concerned about my health.

Our podcast this week features a conversation between Ann, Cassandra and NaPRO trained nurse practitioner, Caroline Gindhart. Caroline addresses common experiences and emotions that patients most often live through as they are seeking help. She offers advice on how to have a relationship with your medical care provider in which you feel heard and treated with dignity. Caroline also offers some ideas for husbands to exhibit solidarity with their wives during the treatment process as well as discerning when it might be time to step back from some parts or all of treatment for a short time. Whether you are seeing or have seen a practitioner regarding infertility issues or are considering seeking help for the first time, listening to this talk with Caroline will help you in your journey!
