Taylor Morton was described as a con-artist and a pathological liar to a lot of people who knew her. Taylor would tell a lot of fake stories about herself to many people including being a billionaire family heiress, a nurse, a surgeon, an OBGYN, and has million dollar contracts with “Shell”. Taylor lived her life in a lie to everyone and including in 2020, when Taylor would say she was pregnant. Taylor had a hysterectomy in 2019 and couldn't get pregnant but she tried to con her way through it by purchasing fake pregnancy documents, fake sonograms, and a fake pregnancy bump. Even when people accused Taylor of faking it, Taylor denied and claimed everyone was going “to feel so stupid” when she gives birth to her baby. But as the “due date” came closer and Taylor had no baby, she knew this was a lie she couldn't back out of and if she couldn't have a baby, then she needed to steal a baby.

Let's be real! Talking to the men in our lives about periods, fertility, or anything related to our bodies can feel super awkward. But it shouldn't be that way.

From PCOS and painful sex to fertility struggles and hormonal acne, we're covering how to open up these topics with partners, dads, brothers, or even guy friends, without feeling dismissed or overwhelmed. Plus, we talk about how to raise boys who actually get it when it comes to women's health. If you've ever felt like “he just doesn't understand,” this one's for you. LISTEN UP!!!

In this episode, ultrarunner, OB/GYN board certified physician, and mom of two Lauren Puretz, DO, returns to the podcast to dive deep into women's health with a focus on athletes navigating fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. Lauren discusses complex reproductive health conditions like PCOS and endometriosis, especially how they present uniquely in athletic populations. She emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis, individualization of treatment, and how these conditions can affect energy levels and performance. She offers practical advice for athletes with insulin resistance and stresses the importance of advocacy when pain is being overlooked in clinical settings. The conversation then shifts into training during pregnancy and the often-overlooked postpartum period, where Lauren draws from both medical expertise and personal experience. She breaks down trimester-specific considerations for athletes, safe return-to-sport strategies, and how tools like belly bands can help. The hosts and Lauren tackle common but under-discussed challenges such as postpartum hormone shifts, fatigue, and breastfeeding demands on athletes. The episode closes with a powerful question on what changes Lauren would make in the medical system to better support female athletes across their reproductive lifespan, highlighting the need for more inclusive, evidence-based care and research for all stages—from puberty to perimenopause.

Send us a textAre you feeling exhausted, irritable, foggy-brained, or experiencing night sweats that leave you drenched? These symptoms aren't just "part of getting older" – they're signs of hormonal changes that can be effectively treated. In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Val Schulte joins midwives Missi and Cara to demystify perimenopause and menopause with straightforward, evidence-based information that healthcare providers often miss."I can't describe how excited I am about today," says Missi at the start, acknowledging that many midwives received minimal education about menopause, especially after the Women's Health Initiative study created widespread fear around hormone therapy. Dr. Schulte, who transitioned from traditional OBGYN practice to focusing on hormone therapy and lifestyle medicine, shares how her own perimenopausal symptoms sparked her passion for helping women navigate this transition.The conversation dives deep into practical aspects of hormone testing and treatment options. Dr. Schulte explains how bioidentical progesterone can improve sleep and mood, why testosterone (often overlooked in women) dramatically affects energy and libido, and how proper estrogen therapy protects heart, brain, and bone health. She details the advantages of different delivery methods – from daily creams to pellet therapy that slowly releases hormones over months – and dispels myths about hormone risks.What makes this episode especially valuable is the real-talk about symptoms many women experience but rarely discuss: brain fog that interferes with work, anxiety that appears out of nowhere, joint pain, changes in body odor, even ridges in fingernails. Dr. Schulte connects these seemingly unrelated issues to hormonal fluctuations and offers solutions beyond the standard "here's an antidepressant" approach many providers default to.Whether you're approaching perimenopause, in the thick of menopause, or supporting someone who is, this conversation provides clarity and hope. As Missy realizes toward the end, "I do not have to feel this way for another five years." Listen now to discover how you can reclaim your energy, mood, focus, and quality of life through evidence-based hormone therapy and lifestyle approaches.#EngagEDMidwife #MidwiferyMatters #HormoneTherapy #MenopauseCare #PerimenopauseSupport #WomensHealth #MidlifeHealth #HotFlashesAndHope #ToolsInOurToolbox@menopause_society @acog_org @drjennsimmons @drrachelrubin @dlberkson @auria.care 

This week we're presenting the first episode of “The Network,” a new series that Latino USA co-produced with NPR's Embedded podcast. In the mid-1980s, an OBGYN in Brazil noticed that far fewer pregnant women at his hospital were dying from abortion complications. It wasn't a coincidence. Brazilian women had made a discovery that allowed them to safely have abortions at home, despite the country's abortion restrictions. That discovery eventually spread across the globe. Embedded+ supporters get first access and sponsor-free listening for every Embedded series.

After helping establish pediatric and adolescent gynecology programs at Johns Hopkins and the University of Louisville, she found herself carrying an unsustainable workload when her department shrank from five physicians to two—prompting her to explore non-clinical paths where she could apply her experience in medical writing and policy. She describes the world of Medicare administration, where Contract Medical Directors are responsible for creating Local Coverage Determinations—policies that guide what treatments and services Medicare will cover based on medical evidence. With the introduction of the 21st Century Cures Act, these policies now require greater transparency and rigor, opening the door for physicians with strong clinical and writing backgrounds to contribute meaningfully to federal healthcare decision-making. Dr. Loveless also outlines what the role involves day-to-day, including frequent travel, collaboration with subject matter experts, and the long timelines often needed to develop and implement coverage policies. She offers a grounded look at Medicare administration, challenging misconceptions while showing how physicians can move into policy work that influences care access and quality for millions of people—bringing clinical expertise into one of healthcare's most impactful arenas.

Dr. LaKeischa, a board-certified OB/GYN turned functional medicine powerhouse, joins me to expose what most doctors aren't telling women about perimenopause, menopause, and midlife hormone chaos. At 40, she discovered she had zero testosterone—and suddenly became the patient in her own practice. That wake-up call launched her into a new approach: advanced labs, trauma-informed care, and hormone protocols that actually work. We break down the real reasons behind weight gain, burnout, mood swings, and mystery symptoms—and why it's not just aging. You'll hear how Dr. LaKeischa helps her “hormone hotties” reclaim energy, confidence, and clarity using a precision-based approach to hormone health. From hormone imbalances to thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, to the metabolic root causes of symptoms like insulin resistance, this conversation goes beyond surface-level fixes. It's an empowering deep dive into how functional medicine can transform how we care for women in midlife. This episode is a must-listen if you've ever been told: “It's just menopause. Get used to it.” Spoiler: You don't have to settle for surviving. Let's talk about thriving—with science, soul, and strategy.

You'll hear how she left surgery behind, embraced functional medicine, and developed the Faith IT Method—a spirit-led approach to healing that's changing lives.

On this episode of Curated Beauty we're talking about something that's deep and personal for me. My son Daniel, my first child, has shaped a lot of who I am. He is definitely a significant part of what led me on the path to functional medicine not just as a provider, but as a mother. When I was pregnant with Daniel, he was in breech position. For the safety of my baby, I was recommended for a C-section. After birth, he was given injections for hepatitis C and vitamin K, as well as administered antibiotics in his eyes. At one month old, he was jaundiced and had skin issues. He was given an IV, antivirals, and antibiotics, but was eventually sent home with doctors saying he just had baby acne. As much as I tried to avoid vaccinations, I found his medical professionals talking me into them every time. After his six-month vaccination, he developed a fever and screamed uncontrollably. While he didn't experience a massive regression, looking back I see that after this moment he was never the same.  I eventually found someone who made me feel sane—a former OBGYN who went through a similar experience. Not only did he listen to me, but he also facilitated a ton of testing for neuroinflammation, parasites, gut dysbiosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction. We also started working with a chiropractor who helped us too. I remember the first night Daniel stopped banging his head to sleep, and I began to have hope again. It took a lot of fighting, but I was able to build an army around us who believed that healing was possible. This has become my “why” and my son's story is no longer a tragedy—it's a triumph.   www.beautyculturespa.com @beautyculture.medspa

Brazilian women had made a discovery that allowed them to safely have abortions at home, despite the country's abortion restrictions. That discovery eventually spread across the globe.

In this episode of Wellness Junkies, we dive deep into the often-taboo topics surrounding women's health with our special guest, Dr. C, also known as The Vag Doc. With over 16 years of experience as a board-certified OB-GYN, Dr. C has made a name for herself on social media by breaking down complex issues related to gynecology (from periods to menopause) with clarity, compassion, and a touch of humor. The conversation kicks off with Dr. C sharing her journey into social media, highlighting the lack of open discussions about gynecology and midlife women's health. She emphasizes the importance of empowering women to ask questions about their bodies, especially during the often confusing transitions of perimenopause and menopause. Dr. C treats us to a wealth of information as she answers common questions about IUDs, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the changes women experience during menopause. She explains the benefits of keeping an IUD during midlife, the importance of estrogen for vaginal health, and how to navigate hormone levels effectively. The episode also touches on the significance of pelvic floor therapy, and encourages women to seek help and not to feel embarrassed about their health concerns, reinforcing that there is no shame in asking questions. As the episode wraps up, Amy and Melissa engage in a fun myth or fact segment, tackling common misconceptions about women's health, including the impact of wearing leggings on yeast infections.

Harold is here to share more about this report and his perspective and insight as a thought leader of rural maternity care.

In Episode 101 of Trail Society, OB/GYN, ultrarunner, and mom of two Dr. Lauren Puretz joins Corrine, Keely, and Hillary for a candid and insightful conversation about puberty, birth control, and fertility in female athletes. Drawing from both her medical practice and personal experience as an elite endurance athlete, Dr. Puretz breaks down complex topics like energy availability, menstrual health, and hormonal birth control, offering practical advice for athletes navigating these issues. The discussion highlights how puberty and menstruation are affected by training load, the importance of not masking menstrual irregularities with birth control, and how coaches and caregivers can support young athletes during this pivotal time. The conversation also explores fertility concerns in current and retired athletes, including whether period loss during early athletic years may impact long-term reproductive health. Dr. Puretz discusses proactive steps athletes can take, such as hormone testing and fertility planning, and the growing trend of egg freezing among those delaying parenthood. Her honest and empowering perspective sheds light on the lifelong health journey female athletes face, from adolescence to adulthood, and sets the stage for a deeper dive into pregnancy and postpartum care in the next episode.     SPONSORSHIP:  We are so excited to be partnering with rabbit as our primary apparel sponsor this year!

This week we're checking out the gayest show we've ever seen and that's saying something! Conor and Nico have a show with manic and small dick energy. And by small dick I mean big clit energy.
