Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, breaks down how your hormones shift across your 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond, and what you can actually do in each decade to protect your fertility, brain, bones, and long‑term health.

Protecting Fertility in Your 30s - What actually changes with egg number and egg quality in this decade - Why “wait until you've been trying for a year” is often outdated advice - How to think about ovarian reserve testing and when it's worth asking for it 3. Navigating Perimenopause in Your 40s - How subtle cycle shifts can be early signs of dwindling egg supply - The difference between “regular” cycles and normal for you - Using muscle, nutrition, and sleep to buffer bone loss, brain fog, and weight changes 4. Menopause, Hormones & Longevity in Your 50s and Beyond - What menopause medically means and why the transition is so individual- How estrogen and progesterone relate to brain health, bones, and sex - A framework for thinking about hormone therapy (and fear‑based messaging) Pre-order Dr. Crawford's debut book, The Fertility Formula, now! ⁠https://www.nataliecrawfordmd.com/book⁠Want to receive my weekly newsletter?

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider President Trump seemingly backing away from taking action against Iran, more violence aimed at federal agents in Minneapolis while Gov. Tim Walz makes things worse again, and a lefty OBGYN can't tell Congress whether man can get pregnant.First, they're concerned as President Trump seems to accept the word of Iran or its intermediaries that the regime is no longer killing people in the streets or planning to carry out executions. Is there any evidence this is true? After promising the Iranian protesters that "help is on the way," has Trump changed his mind or the Iranian mullahs in for a surprise?Next, they document more unhinged violence against federal agents in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent was attacked by an illegal immigrant and others who joined the fight, and a mob ripped a gun case out of a federal vehicle. Meanwhile, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz continues to demonize ICE, further inflaming an already volatile situation.Then, they marvel as an OBGYN at a U.S. Senate hearing repeatedly refuses to answer whether men can get pregnant, hiding behind identity politics instead of stating basic biological facts.Finally, as longtime fans of the TV show 24, Jim and Greg briefly react to the recent arrest of series star Kiefer Sutherland and the details surrounding the incident.Please visit our great sponsors:Improve your sleep with Brooklyn Bedding.

If you go by pop culture depictions, menopause seems like no big deal — a few hot flashes, some comical bouts of hormone-fueled rage, and the “big change,” as it was once called, is over. But for many of the 2 million American women who enter menopause each year, the symptoms can be a lot more serious and long-lasting, ranging from vertigo and joint pain to brain fog and heart problems.On this episode, we take a deep dive into perimenopause and menopause – what's going on biologically? What can be done to ease symptoms? And why do so many women struggle to receive help from their doctors?We talk with menopause experts about hormone replacement therapy, and why it was demonized for many years; find out what researchers have discovered about the causes of brain fog; and hear about new efforts to deal with medically induced menopause. In this excerpt from our live event, Reimagining Menopause, host Maiken Scott talks with two certified menopause providers — Robyn Faye, an OB-GYN at Jefferson Health in Philadelphia, and Arina Chesnokova, assistant professor in of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine — about the ins and outs of hormone therapy, which symptoms it alleviates, when it's safe and when it's not. Watch the full discussion here. Reporter Alan Yu talks with researchers about what's behind one of the most vexing symptoms of menopause for many women — brain fog. For women who have cancer when they're younger, especially breast or ovarian cancer, chemotherapy and other medications needed to treat the disease can affect hormones - and suddenly plunge them into menopause, years before they might naturally experience it. We explore what their options are, and why so many say they were not prepared for this change.

Mat Staver is founder & Chairman of Liberty Counsel. Mat is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He's an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith & Freedom and Freedom's Call and the TV broadcast, Freedom Alive. On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in two consolidated landmark cases: Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J. These cases determine whether Idaho and West Virginia can ban gender confused males from participating in female sports. The decision will likely have significant implications across America since at least 27 states have similar laws protecting women and girls. Little v. Hecox involves an Idaho law from 2020 called the Fairness in Women's Sports Act. West Virginia v. B.P.J. involves West Virginia's 2021 Save Women's Sports Act. As Mat noted, both of these, "...protect the safety and opportunities of female athletes by barring biological males from female competitive sport teams at public schools and universities." A common thread in these cases is Title IX, which Mat said was, "...to protect and provide opportunities for women in sports." However, when Title IX was established as federal law in 1972, was it based on sex or gender identity? This question is fundamental to the debate as you'll see as Jim provided audio from Justices Samuel Alito, Katanji Brown Jackson and Amy Coney Barrett, along with a tense exchange between Senator Josh Hawley and Dr. Nisha Verma who is an OB/GYN.

Josh breaks down the ongoing riots and unrest in Minneapolis, including the president’s discussion of potentially invoking the Insurrection Act to bring the violence under control. He then turns to the latest developments in Iran, outlining the next steps facing the United States and why the president must follow through after a clearly stated red line was crossed.Josh is then joined by James Lindsay of New Discourses for a candid conversation about confronting bad actors on the Right, what motivates them, and why ignoring them only strengthens their influence.He closes the show by reacting to a viral moment from a Senate hearing earlier this week, where an OB-GYN was unable to answer a basic question: can a man get pregnant?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A huge thank you to everyone to all the Sean Spicer Show watchers and listeners who pre ordered their copy of my new book. The preorders on Trump 2.0: The Revolution That Will Permanently Transform America have already surpassed Karine Jean Pierre's actual book release. If you haven't already, go and order your copy now, the link is down below. We have an all star panel show today to unpack all things happening the world of politics. Tensions have boiled over in Minnesota as a Venezuelan man is shot in the leg after attacking ICE agents with a shovel. The Democrats have changed their tune slightly on the anti-ICE messaging but on the ground in Minnesota Governor Walz and Mayor Frey are still riling people up with their rhetoric. President Trump truthed called out corrupt politicians and lawlessness in Minnesota . Our panel weighs in on what the tipping point is before President Trump institutes the Insurrection Act. Reagan Reese broke the story on the State department freezing all immigration from Somali after Nick Shirley blew the lid off the fraud taking place within the Somali community. A 'woke' OBGYN was unable to answer 'can a man have a baby?' after being asked over a dozen times by Senator Josh Hawley. Our panel remembers Dilbert creator Scott Adams who was 'cancelled' after bravely and boldy supporting President Trump and America First policies. RFK Jr. and Secretary Rollins deliver a big win for MAHA and children's nutrition by bringing whole milk back to schools. It's Thursday, which means our panel has this week's winners and losers.

Miscarriage is common, yet many people feel unprepared when it happens. What are the different types of miscarriage, and what does follow-up care look like? We spoke with Lora Shahine, MD, double board-certified in reproductive endocrinology, infertility, and OB-GYN, about what to expect after a miscarriage, available care options, and the emotional aftermath, including the connection to postpartum depression. Dr. Shahine also explains the most common cause of miscarriage – genetic issues in the embryo – and why it is not caused by something a person did. Miscarriage is not your fault, and support matters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 14, 2026. 0:30 We break down a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling that could reshape election law nationwide. In a 7–2 decision, the Court ruled that candidates do have legal standing to challenge allegedly unlawful election rules—marking a sharp departure from how similar cases were dismissed after the 2020 election. We dive into mail-in ballot deadlines, federal election law, and why this ruling reopens the courthouse doors for challenges to election procedures—not election outcomes. The decision restores constitutional balance, exposes past judicial failures, and could have lasting implications for election integrity, voter confidence, and future federal elections. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US Supreme Court ruled today that a candidate for public office can sue a state over their election laws. 22 people have signed up to run for an open congressional seat in Georgia. Saks Global, the parent company of some of the largest department stores in America, has filed for bankruptcy. 12:30 We continue our deep dive into the Supreme Court’s recent election law ruling, and it's one of the most consequential decisions of the modern era. The Court’s refusal to hear election challenges in 2020—by repeatedly dismissing cases over “lack of standing”—amounted to a dangerous abdication of judicial responsibility. When no one is allowed to challenge the legality of election laws, the rule of law itself is undermined and public trust in elections erodes. 16:00 We got a question for our American Mamas — Are women judged more harshly than men for the condition of their homes? Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson humor, honesty, and real-life examples to explore the double standard many women feel when it comes to cleanliness, motherhood, and domestic expectations. Citing a Good Housekeeping study, the Mamas discuss how identical messes are judged differently depending on whether a man or a woman is assumed to be responsible. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 The left’s intellectual double standard on science and biology is just ridiculous. We break down the tense Senate hearing exchange between Senator Josh Hawley and Dr. Nisha Verma, a board-certified OBGYN. The moment perfectly captures a broader cultural clash: Democrats who claim to “follow the science” but refuse to define basic biological realities when pressed on what it means to be a man or a woman. 27:00 We Dig Deep into a new State Department policy pausing immigrant visa processing from dozens of countries where incoming migrants rely on U.S. welfare programs at unusually high rates. It's an “America First” move and a return to the long-standing principle that immigration should benefit the nation and its citizens, not strain public resources. Despite what the Left says, the policy isn't heartless or racist, it's a return to traditional U.S. immigration policy that prioritizes what is best for America. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We react to reports that Denmark is deploying military reinforcements to Greenland ahead of a high-level White House meeting, but is it political theater or serious deterrence? How could a relatively small military force realistically hope to intimidate the United States? 35:00 A directive sent to CBS News staff during Supreme Court arguments directed them to use the phrase "biological sex at birth" when referring to transgender individuals. That's a Bright Spot compared to the Associated Press' stylebook, which promotes terms like “sex assigned at birth.” The takeaway: accurate language matters, and CBS’s choice signals that factual clarity should outweigh political or cultural pressure in news coverage. 39:30 We discuss news from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has approved a record $9 billion budget for 2026—the largest in the organization’s history. While the foundation is increasing its spending, it is also planning to cut roughly 500 jobs, reducing its workforce by about 20 percent over the next several years.

In today's episode of The Real Stuff, I'm sitting down with Samantha Diamond, CEO and co-founder of Bird & Be, a company born out of her personal experience with PCOS, pregnancy loss, and the deep gaps in reproductive health education. Despite being married to an OB/GYN, Samantha realized she still didn't understand her cycle, fertility window, or the silent struggles that so many women face—until she became one of them.We talk candidly about how hormonal birth control masked her PCOS for years, her experience with pregnancy loss and infertility, and why fertility is not just a woman's issue (hi, sperm!).We also discuss the shame and confusion so many couples face while trying to conceive, and how she used her background in beauty and CMG to build a company that's changing the game for modern fertility support.Bird&Be offers everything from at-home fertility tests to prenatals for both men and women, but this episode isn't just about products; it's about empowerment. Samantha opens up about the emotional toll of TTC, how the packaging of fertility products made her feel unseen, and why redefining pregnancy culture is so important.Whether you're navigating PCOS, thinking about your fertility future, or supporting someone through a difficult season, this conversation is for you.Visit birdandbe.com and use code REALSTUFF for 15% off your first purchase.Follow Samantha on IG: @startupmammaWatch this episode in video form on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmevEcbh5h5FEX0pazPEtN86t7eb2OgX To apply to be a guest on the show, visit luciefink.com/apply and send us your story.

In this repost episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor revisits a conversation with Tiffany Parotto and Dan McDyer, MD that blew up online—and then seemed to disappear overnight. Tiffany shares how a viral wave of women reporting sudden cycle changes pushed her to build MyCycleStory, aiming to turn personal experiences into publishable research. Dr. McDyer describes what he says he observed in clinical practice, why he believes many professionals won't publicly question the dominant narrative, and how fear and identity can shut down real curiosity. Together, they unpack censorship, the social cost of dissent, and what they believe the path forward looks like: staying grounded, building resilience, and learning how to talk to people without triggering a shutdown. Tiffany Parotto is a longtime vaccine-risk-awareness advocate and founder of MyCycleStory, and Dr. Dan McDyer is an OB-GYN who partnered with her to investigate these claims through research.    Disclaimer: (This conversation reflects the guests' views and is not medical advice.)     Episode Highlights: censorship and deleted communities, viral cycle conversations, MyCycleStory research mission, doctors and cognitive dissonance, fear and social pressure, identity and ego in public health debates, peer review roadblocks, "shedding" discussion, metabolic health and resilience, communicating with compassion, MAHA/RFK optimism, predictions about future fear campaigns       Takeaways: Viral stories can disappear fast when platforms enforce narrative boundaries Fear and social belonging pressures can override curiosity even in professionals People change their minds faster when they feel heard instead of attacked Building personal resilience matters regardless of what you believe about the claims If you want conversations to land, stay calm, empathetic, and specific Decentralized media and independent research groups will keep growing The next "crisis" will likely use the same playbook: urgency, fear, and compliance     If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself.

In this episode, I talk openly about God after the death of my son, Brody—what my faith looks like now, what it doesn't, and how it has changed in ways I never expected. I share my honest thoughts, doubts, anger, comfort, and the quiet moments where belief feels complicated but still present. I also dive into what it's like to parent after loss—how grief shows up in anxiety, how it lives in my body and my thoughts, and the things that genuinely help me when the fear gets loud. This isn't about having it all figured out; it's about surviving, regulating, and finding ways to feel safe in a world that no longer feels predictable. Finally, I talk about the way Brody's death reshaped how I show up in the world. The attitude I try to carry. The energy I try to contribute. The way loss softened me, sharpened me, and changed how I treat others—and myself. I also talk about a lot of other random stuff too LOL This episode is for anyone navigating faith after loss, parenting with grief, or trying to live gently and intentionally after their world has been shattered. You're not alone here.

When life feels uncertain and stakes are high on the operating table, how do we learn to trust in the Lord's plan?On this week's episode of Latter-Day Lights, Scott and Emily sit down with Dr. Mark T. Saunders, a semi-retired OB/GYN whose quiet, faithful listening opened the door to dozens of sacred and miraculous stories. While conducting his routinely in-home medical visits, Mark found that his patients—often without prompting—felt compelled to share their deeply personal experiences of divine intervention, healing, and guidance from the Holy Ghost.From a young student almost facing the loss of his leg, to near-death experiences, and unmistakable moments of revelation, Mark reflects on how these encounters strengthened his testimony that God will always a God of miracles no matter the circumstances. This conversation explores the difference between trusting in the wisdom of the world, and learning to rely fully on personal revelation, spiritual sensitivity, and the intentional direction of the Spirit.Rooted in scripture, lived experience, and divine inspiration, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen more closely, and rediscover what it means to place unwavering trust in the Lord—even when the path forward feels like it's coming to an end.*** Please SHARE Dr. Saunders' story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode on YouTube, visit: https://youtu.be/bihxYdh6GzM-----To READ Dr. Saunders' book, "Learning to Trust in The Lord," visit: https://a.co/d/0OLMSuKTo READ Scott's new book “Faith to Stay” for free, visit: https://www.faithtostay.com/-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report On today's program: Sean Hannity attempts to coax Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado into gifting her Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump as a way to flatter him into installing her as Venezuela's president. Dr. Kristin Lyerly, OB-GYN and chair of the board of the Committee to Protect Public Health, joins the show to discuss RFK Jr.'s plan to reduce the number of vaccines recommended for newborns from 17 to 11. in the Fun Half: Sean Hannity tries to coax Maria Corina Machado into gifting her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump in hopes he'll return the favor by installing her as president on Venezuela Tucker Carlson and Cheryl Hines pretend to be confused on how vaccines are important to public health. RFK, Jr's claims there has been no research into links between autism and vaccines administered to newborns. Trump comments on the dilemma he faces in wanting young people to be able to buy homes but also not wanting to devalue the net worth of current homeowners. Of course, we know he will not address this crisis in any meaningful way. Stephen Miller and Jake Tapper debate Venezuela in a neo-con vs neo-liberal cage match. Francesca Fiorentini floats the idea the invasion of Venezuela could have started with GOP mega donor and owner of Citgo, Paul Singer. Chris Cuomo delivers a very confused monologue about Venezuela where he mashes several concepts together without any linearity or logic. All that and more. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the US Senate or the House of Representatives.

Then this episode is for you. Today we meet OBGYN and sexual medicine specialist Dr. Maria Sophocles, who sheds light on what she calls "The Bedroom Gap." This gap describes the mismatch in desire, expectations, and physical ability between partners, especially as we age and go through menopause.

Tis a new year my friends and honestly, it's the same shit. In this episode, I get super vulnerable you guys. I even go a little Tony Robbins on ya...I will say I'm super proud of myself for what I did in 2025 when it came to my health and wellness. I went IN trying to get my physical health and mental health back on track. Like GLP-1s, I did Ketamine, back to working out consistently, bible study, being present with my babies, changing up career paths, getting grief coach and educator certified, finding that balance with motherhood and grief, and just trying to get ME back...Well it was tough but I made it and I am proud but no one talks about that "Dig Out"...Where you have to consistently dig yourself out of a dark place all the time. It's honorable and shitty but we have to do it. I dive into this phenomena in hopes to hype you up and share that it's hard for me too.This is real life, I'm always honest with y'all and I always will be.Hope this helps mama

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Lucky Sekhon — board-certified OB-GYN and fertility doctor— to break down fertility in a way that's clear, calm, and actually helpful.  We start with the true fertility basics: what you need to know, what tests actually matter, when you should start thinking about fertility before trying, and the biggest myths she wishes would disappear — including the idea that fertility is only a “woman's problem.”  This episode is heavily audience Q&A–driven, covering the most common causes of infertility (for women and men), why infertility feels more and more common, the “fertility cliff” after 30 (it's not as steep as you're made to think!), secondary infertility, and how long to try naturally before seeking help. We close with a walkthrough of treatment options (IUI vs. IVF), thoughts on hormonal birth control and fertility, and how friends and family can truly support someone going through infertility or loss.  If you want real context and less panic, this one's for you. Also - check out Dr. Lucky's book, The Lucky Egg: Understanding Your Fertility & How to Get Pregnant NOW, coming out January 13th!  Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast!  00:00:29 Introduction to Dr. Lucky Sekhon 00:04:15 If someone wants to understand their fertility, what are the first basic things they should know and tests or checks that actually matter? 00:12:38 How early should people start thinking about their fertility before they want to start a family? 00:15:50 What's the biggest fertility myth you wish people would stop believing? 00:17:38 Men are 50% of the equation — what should they understand about their fertility? 00:20:28 What should men do to prepare their bodies when trying to conceive? 00:22:50 What are common habits men do that could be hurting their sperm health? 00:26:55 Audience Question: What are the most common causes of infertility in women?
