Watch the full coverage of the live stream on  ⁨@TheEmilyDBaker⁩  YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/xJUJNoRx2DU Join us as we dive into the dramatic second part of the Cardi B trial, where unexpected twists and courtroom confrontations take center stage. The other two eye witnesses took the stand. Tierra Malcolm, the front desk receptionist at the doctor's office, provides a detailed account of the altercation, including being caught between Cardi B and Emani Ellis. Tierra describes being scratched on her forehead during the chaotic encounter. Though she can only assume it was Emani who scratched her because Cardi B was behind her the entire time. Dr. David Finke, Cardi B's OBGYN that day, was allowed to testify. He recounts demanding Emani Ellis multiple times but she would not follow his orders until a long time. This was the only time something like this happened in his practice. The jury reaches a unanimous "no liability" verdict in favor of Cardi B on all counts, including assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence. Hear Cardi B's powerful post-verdict statement, where she firmly denies the allegations and issues a warning against frivolous lawsuits. The plaintiff, Emani Ellis, expresses disappointment with the verdict, attributing it to a flawed justice system RESOURCES Cardi B Trial Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCqlINOcqaMDonna Adelson Trial - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gL0_OPy2AliqyEjGcI8QzBu STAY IN THE LOOP WITH EMILY D.

IVF Failed: A Fertility Doctor's Thoughts About What Comes Next When IVF fails, both patients and doctors are left asking, “What now?” In this conversation, infertility and life coach Lana Manikowski and fertility doctor Erica Bove, MD, explore what patients wish doctors understood after failed IVF, what doctors feel but rarely say, and how to create support and meaning after infertility. When IVF failed, you were not just handed a result. You were handed decisions with very little support. If you have ever left a fertility clinic wondering whether your fertility doctor truly saw your pain or what to do next, this episode will help you feel seen while considering the language to ask for the support you need. In this conversation, I am joined by Erica Bove, MD, a double board certified OB GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist at the University of Vermont. She is also the CEO and founder of Love and Science: Thriving Through Infertility. Dr. Bove has experienced both sides of treatment as a fertility doctor and as a fertility patient. Together, we explore what women wish their doctors understood after a failed IVF cycle, what doctors wish their patients knew, and how to create continuity of care when treatment ends without a baby. In this episode, you will learn: How both patients and doctors grieve when IVF does not work and why compassion on both sides matters. The post fertility treatment support you told me you needed most such as exit appointments, follow-up calls, therapy or coaching referrals, peer connection, and resources for life without children. Why many fertility doctors are not trained to deliver difficult news and how clinics can improve communication. How Dr. Bove coaches physicians through their own fertility journeys to help them practice with more empathy and confidence. Ways to redefine meaning and success after infertility so you can create a fulfilling life even if you are childless after infertility. This episode is for you if: You have finished fertility treatment without a baby and are unsure what comes next. You want to feel acknowledged and supported by your fertility doctor and your clinic. You are ready for community and guidance for life after infertility. You are a fertility professional who wants to better understand the patient experience after failed IVF. About Dr. Erica Bove Erica Bove, MD, is a double board-certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist (REI) at the University of Vermont. She is also the CEO and founder of Love and Science: Thriving Through Infertility. Dr. Bove combines an evidence-based approach with intuitive knowing in the context of a trusting relationship.

#176 - Think Midlife Means Sex Is Doomed? Think Again. Dryness, Low Desire, Awkward Silence? Let's Fix Midlife Sex. What if we stopped whispering about midlife sexual health and started talking about it like the real, fixable, medical issue that it is? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Maria Sophocles—internationally recognized OB/GYN, menopause expert, TEDx speaker, and founder of Women's Healthcare of Princeton—to talk about the truth behind midlife vaginal changes, why libido shifts aren't your fault, and how hormone therapy and non-hormonal treatments can actually help you feel like yourself again (yes, especially down there). We cover: Why vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, and painful sex are incredibly common—and completely fixable (whew!) The difference between vaginal estrogen for dryness and systemic hormone replacement (and why most women are scared of the wrong one) Four clinically proven ways to rebuild vaginal tissue—and when to consider each How to advocate for yourself when your provider dismisses your concerns The overlooked connection between estrogen, your brain, and your libido And yes… the wild stat about people checking their phones during sex. Wait, what?!

What if there was a fertility treatment more successful than IVF and no one's talking about it?I sat down with Dr. Gavin Puthoff, a leading OB-GYN and pioneer in NaProTECHNOLOGY, to uncover the revolutionary science helping couples conceive naturally. We talk everything from repairing blocked tubes to treating endometriosis and uncovering the real causes behind “unexplained infertility."Thank you to our sponsors!ZEBRA — Use code "ALEX" for 10% off any orderPALEOVALLEY — Use code ALEX for 15% off your first orderA'DEL NATURAL COSMETICS — Use code "ALEX" for 25% off first-time ordersBRANCH BASICS — Use code "ALEX15" for 15% offGEVITI — Use code "ALEX" for 20% off your first purchasePRIMALLY PURE — Use code “ALEXCLARK” for 15% offOur guest:Dr. Gavin Puthoff, MDDr. Gavin's Links:Dr. Gavin Puthoff on InstagramVeritas Fertility on InstagramVeritas Fertility WebsiteVeritas Fertility on Facebook

Today, I am thrilled to reconnect with a previous guest, Dr. Mary Claire Haver.  Dr. Haver is a board-certified OBGYN, a certified menopause provider, and the founder of Mary Claire Wellness, a private medical practice focusing on women in midlife. Her best-selling book, the Galveston Diet, and her latest New York Times best-seller, The New Menopause, are fabulous resources for middle-aged women. In our discussion today, we dive into various aspects of perimenopause, looking at the associated challenges. We discuss factors accelerating ovarian aging, the role of contraception, mental health shifts, and the often delayed diagnosis of premature ovarian insufficiency. We examine the differences between hormone replacement therapy and oral contraceptives, discussing the importance of advocacy for women's health and the benefits of vaginal estrogen. We explore the disparity in federal funding for women's health research, the impact of the Women's Health Initiative, body composition changes, the estrabolome, the 30 Plant Challenge, and the advantages of HRT. Dr. Haver also talks about her preferred supplements.  I'm sure you will find this conversation a valuable resource that you will likely revisit several times. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Why perimenopause is so fraught with chaos Some of the factors that hasten ovarian aging How perimenopause causes significant changes in neurotransmitters, leading to cognitive changes The differences between HRT and oral contraceptives How estrogen loss during menopause affects vaginal tissue The benefits of vaginal estrogen for symptoms of menopause  How women's health research funding prioritizes reproduction over menopause and perimenopause How HRT can help with fat loss and muscle mass in postmenopausal women The emergence of eating-disordered behaviors in menopausal women Some of the lesser-known symptoms of menopause and ways to overcome them How HRT could impact the longevity and cognitive health of women Bio: Dr Mary Claire Haver Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a board-certified OB-GYN who has devoted her adult life to women's health. When she began to experience the changes of menopause and mid-life weight gain, she created her online program, The Galveston Diet, which currently has over 80,000 students. The Galveston Diet is the first and only nutrition program in the world created by a female OB-GYN, designed for women in menopause. As part of her ongoing research, she became certified in Culinary Medicine in 2019, specializing in medical nutrition.

Dr. Rachel Pope explains how her sister's cancer diagnosis and a patient in Malawi asking "can you fix my vagina" opened her eyes to the massive gap in sexual health education within gynecology. As a fistula repair surgeon working in Sub-Saharan Africa for four years, Dr. Pope realized that even after successfully repairing bladder leaks, many patients couldn't have intercourse due to vaginal scar tissue yet providers never asked about sexual function. Meanwhile, her sister battling cancer was asking basic questions about intimacy that Dr. Pope, despite all her training and a fellowship, couldn't answer.These twin revelations led Dr. Pope to pursue sexual medicine education and eventually building Cleveland's first female sexual health division that spans multiple departments. Her unique background in global women's health, fistula repair, and reconstructive gynecology informs her holistic approach to sexual medicine and menopause care.The conversation also explores Dr. Pope's current research focus on perimenopause and cardiovascular health, believing this critical 10-year window before menopause holds the key to prevention rather than just treatment. She shares her proactive approach to her own perimenopause, including checking baseline testosterone levels at peak ovulation to guide future hormone therapy decisions.Highlights:Sexual function should be assessed after every pelvic surgery, not just assumedObstetric fistulas are still happening globally but were eliminated in the US once C-sections became accessible.Building a sexual medicine division works best when spanning multiple departments for true biopsychosocial care.The fellowship program accepts both urology and OBGYN applicants, with only two OBGYN programs in the country.Her work continues in Africa doing shorter trips and training local surgeons.If this episode inspired you to think differently about international women's health and sexual medicine education, help others discover this conversation by subscribing and leaving a review. Your reviews help more clinicians and patients find these discussions about comprehensive sexual health care.Connect with Dr. Pope:WebsiteInstagramXConnect with me:WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstack

The guests share their diverse backgrounds—Dr. MacIsaac as a seasoned OB-GYN and mentor, and Padma as a mindfulness coach and chaplain—highlighting the value of community and group dynamics in fostering healing and personal growth. They reflect on the power of gathering in a safe, supportive environment, where participants can openly share experiences, build trust, and find comfort in collective wisdom. The retreat is designed to address not only the physical aspects of menopause, such as bone health, sexual wellbeing, and brain function, but also the emotional and spiritual dimensions that are often overlooked in traditional medical settings. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize the challenges of misinformation in the wellness space and the need for trustworthy, individualized guidance. They advocate for a holistic approach that integrates evidence-based science with compassionate self-care and mindfulness practices. Listeners are encouraged to pause, reflect, and embrace the journey of menopause with curiosity, community, and a renewed sense of self. Questions of comments?

094. We have Rosanne Austin on to share her spontaneous pregnancy at 44. She is the creator of the Fearlessly Fertile Method and host of the Fearlessly Fertile Podcast. She helps women get and stay pregnant by leveraging the mind-body connection. She started her career as a prosecutor in California when she and her husband wanted to start a family. She was prosecuting sex crimes into her late 30's. Her plans for getting pregnant on her timeline weren't working. She didn't even want to bother working with her OBGYN and wanted to go straight to a fertility clinic. Her OBGYN had previously told her she was close to 40, so it would be hard for her to get pregnant. She took that advise to heart. When she went to the fertility clinic the pressure got worse. Join us how she shares her IVF experience to changing her mindset to her fearless pregnancy. Get more information about this episode:https://over40fabulousandpregnant.com/episode94/Get The Fearless Pregnancy by Rosanne Austin: https://over40fabulousandpregnant.com/FearlessPregnancyBookDonate to the show: If you found this podcast helpful, I would love if you made a donation!

Hey lady! The weather's cooling down but for some of us that doesn't necessarily mean that your body is lowering the temperature. Why? Because perimenopause is a thing and it's time we talk about it and why it's impacting Black women more and earlier than other women.Friend of the podcast and all-around boss babe, Dr. Janet Williams, a Los Angeles-based OB/GYN and author of Why Don't I Like Sex Anymore?

But, before you rise in your feminine power there are some things to know to make the journey smoother…and less sweaty.Dr. Janet not only provides a clear definition of what menopause, perimenopause and post-menopause are but also break down what is happening in the body and provide specific markers you can use as a guide to help you inform yourself about where you are on the journey. Dr. Janet uses her expertise to offer guidance on treatments like hormone replacement therapy, demystifies the sometimes-inexplicable changes happening in the body, and clears up myths and confusion around proper supplementation to ease some of the uncomfortable symptoms that occur during each phase.Lady, you already know where to go to get your level-up journal (Patreon), but there's more on Patreon as well.

Guest: Justine Galloway, Progyny Member Host: Dan Bulger, Progyny      Many of the stories we share on this show end with successful pregnancy, that's the goal of family building, after all. But not every journey reaches that destination, and it's important to shine a light on those stories. Sometimes the family building journey means embracing the family you already have and giving yourself permission to come first.  Today's episode features Justine Galloway, who is no stranger to overcoming obstacles. As an avid runner, diagnosed with focal dystonia, a neurological condition that made running forward nearly impossible without falling, she reinvented herself, going on to complete two half-marathons, the NYC Marathon, and even setting a Guinness World Record all by running backwards. That same grit carried her into the world of family building.  Justine got married at 38 and was hopeful about starting her family. At first it seemed fairly easy, they got pregnant quickly but soon miscarried, which was not abnormal for a first-time pregnancy. But after three miscarriages in one year, she knew something wasn't right.  That's when she turned to IVF. The medications and shots were difficult, but with the support of her partner, it was doable. Still, the cycles didn't bring the results they hoped for. The couple found new hope when Justine had access to Progyny through her employer. It felt like they could really try again. She got pregnant again, and she even graduated from the fertility clinic into the care of her OB-GYN. But when she came back to check the heartbeat, she was met with the devastating news again.  That's when Justine knew, after five years of dedicating their time to having a baby, they needed to move on. She needed to put her mind and body first. She wants people listening to this podcast to know that it's okay to make that decision, to choose yourself and your partner as family, and that you are not alone in this.   For more information, visit Progyny's Podcast page and Progyny's Education page for more resources.

To celebrate, we are re-running episode 7 from Outlawed season one, Tension of Opposites:One of the most contentious topics of the last election cycle was abortion later in pregnancy (often mislabeled as “late term abortion”). Anti-abortion activists and politicians promote heinous misinformation about this care. This includes false claims that abortion is being performed after birth, an inaccurate and manipulative description of palliative care for babies born with grave physical and/or genetic abnormalities. This episode confronts both of these topics head on as we talk with OB-Gyn expert Dr. Jenni Villavicencio. She walks us through why care later in pregnancy is necessary and how patients are making thoughtful decisions for themselves and their families. Jenni also talks about her transformation for anti-abortion protestor to abortion care provider. We also debunk myths about abortion after birth and talk about the realities of palliative care for infants with lethal birth defects.
