Electronic fetal monitoring is one of the most common interventions in hospital birth, but it's also one of the least understood. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks with board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Jennifer Lincoln about what continuous electronic fetal monitoring actually does, what the research says, and why it became such a routine part of labor care in the first place. With recent media attention shining a spotlight on this technology, they break down the history, the evidence, and the real-world pressures that shape how it's used today. Learn why continuous monitoring can increase Cesarean rates in low-risk births, when it may be helpful in higher-risk situations, and how it can influence movement, comfort, and decision-making during labor. Dr. Lincoln also shares practical ways to ask questions, understand what terms like "reassuring" and "indeterminate" mean, and partner with your care team so you can make informed choices without feeling powerless or pressured. (02:26) Dr. Jennifer Lincoln's updates: doctors' strike, leadership, and writing The Birth Book (10:09) Why electronic fetal monitoring is in the spotlight and what it actually measures (13:40) The history of fetal monitoring and what it was designed to prevent (17:37) The biggest drawbacks: false positives, rising C-section rates, and medical-legal pressures (23:18) How continuous monitoring can affect movement, comfort, and labor experience (26:28) Artifact, wireless monitors, and challenges with accuracy (28:27) Intermittent monitoring: what it is and how it works (30:11) When continuous monitoring may be more beneficial in higher-risk situations (37:53) Understanding "reassuring," "indeterminate," and "non-reassuring" patterns (39:46) What care teams may try before recommending a cesarean (45:15) Questions parents can ask when concerns arise about the fetal heart rate (48:03) Continuous monitoring during VBAC and navigating autonomy and policy (51:01) Why these conversations should happen before labor and how to advocate collaboratively Resources Hear about the new research on home birth with Dr. Dekker on Dr. Lincoln's "Let's Talk about Birth" podcast: drjenniferlincoln.substack.com/p/announcing-my-new-podcast Get a copy of Dr. Lincoln's book, The Birth Book: An OB-GYN's Guide to Demystifying Labor and Delivery: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/785889/the-birth-book-by-dr-jennifer-lincoln/ Learn more about Three for Freedom: threeforfreedom.com/ For more information about Evidence Based Birth® and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

Dr. Jimmy Turner sits down with Jess Borquez, creator of Points by J and wife of an OB-GYN physician, to talk about how medical families can use credit card points to travel more without spending more. Jess left a corporate tech career to build a business helping people maximize credit card rewards, and she's grown her Instagram following to over 200,000 in the process. In this episode, Jimmy and Jess cover why transferring points out of your credit card's travel portal gets you dramatically more value, how to audit your existing cards to make sure you're actually using the perks you're paying for, and why opening multiple credit cards doesn't destroy your credit score (as long as you're responsible). Jess also shares how she and her husband redeemed 209,000 points for a $13,000 stay at Miraval Arizona, and how they enjoyed over $35,000 in free travel to Hawaii and Japan in a single year. They also discuss the current credit card landscape, including record-high signup bonuses, recent Hyatt point devaluations, and why now is a particularly important time to stay plugged into your points strategy.

What's it like to be an OBGYN, mom, and rising online creator? This week we are joined by Dr. Fran (@pagingdrfran) to cover life in women's health, what it took to grow a social platform to over a million followers, and how evidence‑based medicine can cut through misinformation online.

In this episode of Better Edge podcast, Francesca E. Duncan, PhD, a reproductive scientist at Northwestern Medicine, discusses her groundbreaking research on immune‑mediated remodeling of the aging ovary. By characterizing the unique inflammatory and metabolic signatures of multinucleated giant cells, she provides a new framework for understanding ovarian senescence and preserving ovarian health.

Most women spend years dismissing their own symptoms: brain fog, frozen shoulder, mood crashes, vanishing libido, never realizing these aren't signs of aging, they're signals of a hormonal shift that begins nearly a decade before menopause hits. Today, I'm with board-certified OB-GYN and menopause expert Dr. Jessica Shepherd to dismantle the myths that have kept millions of women unnecessarily suffering, including the misrepresented WHI study that put hormone therapy off the table for a generation.

Summary In this Voices from the Workplace episode, Joanna Meyer talks with husband and wife Barb and Andy Wood about their unexpected mid-career transition from ministry into healthcare. Andy now serves as a hospital chaplain and Barb as an OB-GYN nurse, placing them at two very different but deeply meaningful moments of life in the hospital. Drawing from their experiences at the bedside, they reflect on how faithful presence, deep listening, and honoring the dignity of every person shape their daily work. Through stories from their hospital roles, they invite listeners to see their own workplaces as places to practice faithfulness and care for others, even within large systems and ordinary routines.

Menopause care has shifted from a one-size-fits-all approach to a more individualized, risk-based model. Dr. Minakshi Shukla discusses updated guidance on hormone therapy timing and formulation; the role of non-hormonal treatment options; and strategies for midlife weight and cardiometabolic management. Learn how to routinely discuss menopause care with your patients.

Is testosterone the "missing piece" of your hormone puzzle, or is it a social media-fueled performance enhancer? In this deep-dive episode, Dr. Rachel Pope is joined by Dr. Tami Rowen, a lead gynecologist at UCSF and expert in sexual and transgender health, to separate data from hype.They tackle the confusing world of testosterone for women—from its role in desire and energy to the hidden history of how it was once used to protect the uterus.In This Episode, We Discuss: The HSDD Breakthrough: Why the best-known data for testosterone is in treating Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD), and the surprising truth about the doses used in successful clinical trials. The "Menopause Cliff" Myth: Why testosterone doesn't actually crash at menopause, but rather begins a slow, steady decline in your 30s. Dosing & Safety: The difference between "physiologic" levels (what you had in your 20s) and "supra-physiologic" doses (performance-enhancing levels) often seen in boutique pellet clinics. The Breast Cancer Debate: Is testosterone protective or risky? Dr. Rowen explains the "anti-proliferative" nature of the hormone and the nuances of aromatization into estrogen. The "Estratest" History: A look back at why we once used estrogen and testosterone together to protect the uterine lining—long before progesterone became the standard. Cognition, Mood, & Muscle: Does it actually help with brain fog or gym gains? We look at why the data is mixed and the power of the "placebo effect." The FDA Gap: Why the U.S. still lacks a testosterone product specifically approved for women and what that means for your prescriptions.Key Resources & Mentions: ISSWISH: International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health Dr. Tami Rowen: UCSF Health Profile Research Study: The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) and the 300mcg testosterone patch trials.About Our Guest:Dr. Tami Rowen is a board-certified OB/GYN and Associate Professor at UCSF.

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. 1. When taking a prenatal vitamin, how should we interpret the amount of choline listed on the label? If a prenatal lists 300 mg of choline, is that the full amount counted toward the recommended intake, or does it refer to elemental choline? 2. Is sucralose safe to consume while trying to conceive or during pregnancy, or should it be avoided? 3. I've heard that high levels of biotin can interfere with certain blood tests. If a prenatal contains 1000 mcg of biotin and someone is going through IVF with frequent lab work, is that amount considered too high? Should they consider switching prenatals? 4. I'm 38, recently diagnosed with PCOS, and have experienced eight miscarriages. I've also been told I have a weak and shortened cervix and have already had a vaginal cerclage twice without success. Are there any additional options or treatments that could be considered? 5. I'm 38 and recently had a baby conceived naturally, though it took some time to get pregnant. I know the general recommendation is to wait about 18 months before trying to conceive again, but I'm worried that waiting too long could make it harder to get pregnant because of my age. How should someone balance recommended spacing between pregnancies with age-related fertility considerations?

After struggling with her own metabolic issues, including prediabetes and hypothyroidism, she transformed her health through diet, strength training, and lifestyle changes.

Today's episode is a special one — it's a replay of Ali's 2023 conversation with Dr. Lucky Sekhon. Lucky is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, and OB-GYN at RMA of New York.

In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney and Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi sit down with Dr. Steven Storage to unpack one of the most common mental health misdiagnoses affecting women today: ADHD being mistaken for anxiety or depression. Dr. Storage explains why ADHD is often overlooked in girls and women, and how many patients spend years being treated for anxiety before discovering the real cause of their symptoms.The conversation explores how ADHD can present differently in women, including emotional overwhelm, chronic stress, brain fog, and difficulty focusing. Dr. Storage also discusses the role of brain imaging in ADHD diagnosis and how different brain patterns may require different treatment approaches, highlighting why traditional symptom checklists often miss the full picture.They also discuss how hormonal changes, especially during perimenopause, can intensify ADHD symptoms, which is why many women first seek answers later in life. This episode sheds light on the importance of accurate diagnosis and brain-based approaches to better support women navigating ADHD.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. I'm preparing for IVF and have heard about ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). What steps can be taken during treatment to reduce the risk of developing OHSS? My cycles are about 28–30 days, but I tend to ovulate around day 19 or 20 and my luteal phase is only about nine days. My progesterone level was just above 3, though the rest of my labs look normal. I've had two miscarriages in the past and previously used progesterone after ovulation. If I'm trying to optimize my cycle before a future pregnancy, what tests, questions, or treatments should I discuss with my OB? After someone stops breastfeeding, how long does it usually take for prolactin levels to return to normal? If someone wants multiple children, what is the recommended minimum amount of time to wait between pregnancies for maternal and reproductive health? I'm 37 with diminished ovarian reserve and a history of thin uterine lining. My first FET failed, and I only have one embryo left. I've had ReceptivaDX, TRIO testing, and hysteroscopy, all normal, but I'm feeling stuck at a high-volume clinic where care feels very protocol-driven. What would you recommend as the next steps in this situation? What is your perspective on using calcium ionophore to help activate eggs after retrieval during IVF?

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this episode, the Fertility Docs walk listeners through what typically happens after a positive pregnancy test following IVF. The doctors explain how early pregnancy is monitored, beginning with the first pregnancy blood test about two weeks after embryo transfer and continuing with repeat hormone testing every few days to ensure appropriate rises. They discuss what doctors look for on early ultrasounds, why some patients need closer monitoring, and how different outcomes such as viable pregnancies, biochemical pregnancies, ectopic pregnancies, or abnormal intrauterine pregnancies are identified and managed. The episode also covers when patients go back to their OB/GYN once a pregnancy is progressing normally. The doctors answered many common questions patients search for after seeing that first positive test. Questions such as what happens after a positive IVF pregnancy test and how often pregnancy hormone levels are checked come up frequently. They explain how much hCG should rise in early pregnancy and what it means if it does not increase appropriately. The episode addresses when the first ultrasound is done after IVF and what doctors are hoping to see at five to six weeks of pregnancy. They discuss what an ectopic pregnancy is, how it is diagnosed, and why it can be difficult to distinguish early on from an abnormal intrauterine pregnancy. Other common concerns include what a biochemical pregnancy means, how abnormal pregnancies are treated, and when expectant management may be appropriate. Finally, the hosts review how long fertility clinics typically follow patients during early pregnancy and when care is transferred to an obstetrician.

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. I'm 35, had a healthy pregnancy in 2022 followed by three miscarriages, and just found out I have 19% Turner mosaicism on karyotype. If I were your patient, would you recommend moving to IVF with PGT, or continue trying naturally? I'm 32 with an LH/FSH ratio of 2.6 and an AMH of 2.7. The labs were drawn around suspected ovulation. Does this ratio suggest possible PCOS, or could this be a normal mid-cycle finding? I'm 33 and have been trying to conceive for five months. My AMH just came back at 0.057, but the rest of my labs look normal. What would your next steps be, and what are the most common causes of very low AMH at my age? My fiancé uses CBD gummies with trace amounts of THC for chronic pain. We know marijuana can impact fertility, but do CBD products with small amounts of THC meaningfully affect sperm health or fertility outcomes? My partner and I are a same-sex female couple (ages 30 and 32) using donor sperm. We've had two unsuccessful IUIs, and I'm about to start a third with letrozole. My workup is normal, but I suspect possible endometriosis. If that's the case, should we be considering additional evaluation or changing our treatment approach?

In this episode of Health Coach Conversations, Cathy Sykora sits down with Dr. Marina, an experienced OB-GYN with over 30 years in women's health, to explore how lifestyle medicine and evidence-based holistic care can dramatically impact fertility. Dr. Marina shares why declining fertility rates are a global concern and how environmental toxins, stress, sleep, nutrition, and exercise all play a critical role in reproductive health—for both women and men. She explains why conventional medicine often overlooks root causes and how health coaches can be key partners in prevention and support. From endocrine-disrupting chemicals to nutrigenomic testing and restorative reproductive medicine, this episode offers practical, science-backed strategies to optimize fertility naturally before IVF becomes necessary. In this episode, you'll discover: Why fertility is a direct marker of overall health—even years before trying to conceive How endocrine-disrupting chemicals and modern environmental toxins are impacting sperm counts and ovarian health The truth about PCOS and endometriosis—and why birth control pills may mask, not solve, underlying issues Why men must be included in fertility conversations and how male lifestyle habits affect pregnancy outcomes The critical role of sleep, stress management, and heart rate variability (HRV) in reproductive success How exercise (including high-intensity training for women with PCOS) can improve fertility—when done correctly Why the Mediterranean diet and nutrigenomic testing may significantly improve pregnancy outcomes Memorable Quotes: "People don't equate their general health with their fertility—even though it's inexorably linked." "Men's sperm counts have decreased by over 50% in two generations." "If you improve your health, there's no losing out—and you will improve your fertility." Bio: Dr. Marina is an experienced OBGYN and dedicated educator with over 30 years of experience in women's health and fertility. She combines her medical expertise with a passion for evidence-based, holistic approaches, naturally empowering individuals to optimize their reproductive health.

Welcome to Fertility and Sterility Roundtable, hosted by Dr. Emily Barnard and Dr. Ben Peipert! Each week, we will host a discussion with the authors of "Views and Reviews" and "Fertile Battle" articles published in a recent issue of Fertility and Sterility.  Today, we will be discussing the Fertile Battle from the February issue of Fertility and Sterility which is entitled "Should you do ultrasound monitoring and trigger for intrauterine insemination cycles? We are joined by two of the authors, Dr. Cassie Hobbs who will be taking the "pro" side in favor of ultrasound monitoring, and Dr. Lindsay Hartup, who will be arguing to do away with ultrasound monitoring.  Dr. Cassie Hobbs is a second-year Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. She completed her OB/GYN residency training at Brown University and received her medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine. She is passionate about examining disparities that exist in reproductive medicine and taking steps to make family building a more equitable process for all.  Dr. Lindsay Hartup is a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellow at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She completed medical school and Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at the University of Texas Health San Antonio. Her research interests are fertility preservation/oncofertility, assisted reproductive technology, and chronic endometritis.

Today's podcast guest, Dr. Sonya Jensen, is a first-generation immigrant who grew up navigating two very different cultures and the rules imposed on her about how she should look, who she should be friends with, and how she should perform in school. Around age 13, she developed anorexia as a way of gaining control of her own life.    Ultimately, her experiences with anorexia, processing childhood trauma, and working with patients led her to put the pieces together between emotions, trauma, and physical health. In this episode, we discuss the deep work she does with women, where she focuses on the well-researched links between emotions and physical health. In this podcast, Dr. Jensen and I discuss: A 66,000-woman study over 16 years found every single woman with a fibroid had childhood abuse, whether physical, sexual, or emotional (this is when Dr. Jensen started piecing together trauma and physical health) When progesterone is low, GABA is low - so you may feel anxious - when estrogen is low, dopamine and serotonin are low, so you're not accessing joy as quickly Constant production of the stress hormone cortisol creates more pronounced estrogen dominance; one woman manifests tender breasts or cysts, another manifests fibroids, but all have low progesterone Fibroids can become worse by pseudo-estrogen from environmental toxins (pesticides, phthalates, plastics)...if your body can't detoxify them, they recirculate and create estrogen dominance Dr. Jensen was previously against bioidentical hormones, but she then realized women go into midlife very depleted, and physiological dosing helps them feel like themselves again Progesterone dosing is nuanced: One of Dr. Jensen's patients went into psychosis on progesterone because her OB-GYN doubled the dose - not everyone can be on the same dose or same kind of hormone Holocaust studies show infants born to survivors have adrenal insufficiency; their ability to adapt to stress isn't as optimal due to generational trauma If mom was stressed during pregnancy, her preteen will have more anxiety, if mom had really low cortisol, the child's nervous system regulation isn't as efficient Women who use hormones along with lifestyle changes and emotional work thrive on minimal doses, and some can even take breaks; women who only do hormones hit plateaus and cycle back  

Dr. Daniel Monti is the founding chair of the first integrative medicine department at an American medical university.Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, integrative medicine takes a holistic approach to health, combining conventional Western medicine with mind-body therapies, nutritional medicine, and traditional practices such as acupuncture and herbal medicine.“Integrative medicine,” Monti told me, “has become a subspecialty of medicine with its own board certification. ... To become an integrative medicine doctor, you have to first do your residency in something like internal medicine, neurology, OBGYN, and then do a fellowship in integrative medicine.”Monti, who holds board certifications in both psychiatry/neurology and holistic/integrative medicine, said that integrative physicians “take a deep dive into whole-person health and understanding who the person is.” They look, for example, at genomics, the patient's microbiome, and maximal oxygen consumption.A powerful technique Monti studied in depth is the neuro-emotional technique (NET), developed in the 1980s. It's a mind-body therapy designed to release emotional stress from within the body. And through advanced brain scans, they can see how the brain changes after applying the technique to alleviate distress.NET merges principles from conventional medicine with traditional Chinese medicine and psychology, he says. The goal is to “get at what is underneath the issue that's bothering the person. ... Most of the time I'm experiencing a block in my life in some way. And then we have to kind of figure out what the life experiences were that are contributing to that present-day block.”During the interview, Monti used me as a test subject to demonstrate the integrative medicine technique.We also discuss additional integrative medicine therapies, such as vitamin infusions and stress-reduction treatments. We also dive into a recent study into a powerful antioxidant's power to benefit Parkinson's patients.Monti is the founder and CEO of the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health and chair of the Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University. He's the co-author of “Brain Weaver” and “Tapestry of Health.”He's also the host of “House Call with Dr. Dan Monti.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

There are many things that can impact your ability to become pregnant. In today's episode, I'm reviewing the top 10 things to consider if you are TTC.    1. Environmental Toxins. Avoid microwaving food in plastic containers or bottles. Always store food and glass or stainless steel containers. Million Marker offers a test to find out if you have in-body toxicity. 2. Chemicals in food and everyday products. Verify that the products you are using are chemical free. You can do that on https://www.ewg.org/ 3. Being sedentary. The CDC and American College of OBGYN, both recommend exercise in amounts of 150 minutes per week. Avoid over exercising, as low BMI can also cause fertility issues. 4. Food allergies or intolerances. Work with a nutritionist to find out if you have a food allergy or other food intolerance. You may also want to consider working with a specialist if you have PCOS or working with a nutritionist like Rohini Bajekal to help you manage PCOS if you have it. 5. Blocked Fallopian Tubes. Check with your doctor to find out if this is what may be causing you to have a hard time TTC. 6. THC and Cannabinoids can affect the motility of the fallopian tube and the receptors in the lining of the uterus. This makes embryo implantation harder and it might not happen as quickly as you would want. 7. Nicotine. Nicotine can affect the DNA and the egg in the sperm cells, and it can also affect a woman's fertility such that she could go potentially into menopause earlier. 8. Blaming birth control pills. Many people think that birth control pills "cause" infertility, but the truth is that because they regulate your period they may be masking the indicators of infertility. Make sure you get your hormone levels checked with your doctor every year to confirm your levels.  9. Ignoring biology. Every woman is born with a finite number of eggs, and if you want to wait to have kids until later in life, be sure and freeze your eggs when you are in your 20s.  10. Not getting enough sleep.    Listen on Dr. Aimee's website.   Curious about IVF? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class. The next live class call is on Monday, March 9, 2026 at 4pm PST, where Dr. Aimee will explain IVF and egg freezing and there will be time to ask her your questions live on Zoom.   Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America's most well known fertility doctors. Her success rate at baby-making is what gives future parents hope when all hope is lost. She pioneered the TUSHY Method and BALLS Method to decrease your time to pregnancy.

In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe is joined by Tracy aka Modern Day Midwife (a hospital-based midwife in Arizona with a NICU background) for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about the realities of modern healthcare. Together, they unpack how the U.S. healthcare system is failing both patients and providers, from provider burnout and lack of mental health support to the pressures of hospital politics, insurance reimbursement, and productivity quotas. They explore the difference between  “Medicine 1.0” (acute care) and “Medicine 2.0” (preventative care, functional medicine, wellness), and how insurance-driven, fee-for-service models often prioritize sick care over true health. The result? Confusing medical bills, rushed care, poor patient experiences, and providers who are stretched thin despite doing deeply meaningful work. HeHe and Tracy dive into the unique challenges facing women's health, maternity care, and birth: over-medicalization, the cascade of interventions, the limits of 10-minute OB-GYN appointments, maternity care deserts, and the need for individualized care, informed consent, and continuity of care. From ACOG guidelines to ever changing evidence and research, they explore possible solutions including a midwifery-led model of care, better transfer systems for home birth and birth center patients, coverage for doulas and health coaching, and shifting consumer demand away from traditional insurance and towards alternatives like health shares.  Tracy shares her exciting vision for an integrated wellness hub that could include midwifery, obstetrics, pelvic floor PT, lactation, chiropractic care, and community-based health supports, and ends by sharing how to connect with her at Premier OB GYN in Phoenix and via Modern Day Midwife online and on Instagram.   00:00 Why Healthcare Breaks Providers 02:24 Burnout and Speaking Up 04:59 Fear and Privilege in Advocacy 07:18 Who Supports Clinicians 12:32 Medicine 1.0 vs Prevention 17:25 Billing Confusion and Fee for Service 19:06 Burn It Down or Reform It 23:55 Disrupting Insurance and Incentives 26:49 Birth Care Needs a New Model 29:36 Preeclampsia Prevention Debate 30:47 Rethinking Maternity Care Roles 32:04 Money in Wellness Care 34:55 Building a One Stop Birth Hub 37:43 Continuity Across Birth Settings 41:45 Evidence Based Medicine Reality Check 47:56 ACOG Guidelines vs Individual Choice 53:23 Demanding Individualized Care 55:11 Rebuilding Healthcare and Provider Support 56:59 Where to Find Tracy 58:15 Closing Thanks and Resources   Guest Bio: Meet Tracy Burns, Board Certified Nurse Midwife.

Today's episode was inspired by a conversation with a woman in the Mind Your Hormones Method. Progesterone absolutely matters and the fact that some doctors say it doesn't is alarming. Low progesterone isn't the real issue, it's a symptom of deeper hormone and ovulation imbalances. In this episode, I explain why progesterone is essential for pregnancy, when supplementation makes sense, and why addressing the root cause is the only way to truly heal your hormones and protect your long-term health.Ways to work with Corinne: Join the Mind Your Hormones Method, HERE!

Perplexed by patients with normal exams but persistent symptoms like recurrent UTIs or palpitations? It could be menopause. In this insightful episode of Succeed In Medicine podcast, host Dr. Bradley Block interviews Dr. Lauren Streicher. They explore commonly overlooked menopause symptoms beyond hot flashes: recurrent urinary tract infections tied to genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), palpitations as "hot flashes of the heart" (often sinus tachycardia without EKG changes), GI microbiome shifts causing nebulous digestive issues, xerostomia (dry mouth) linked to oral health risks, and skin/hair changes like alopecia. Dr. Streicher emphasizes reassuring patients early, validating symptoms as hormonal, and tailoring treatments, vaginal estrogen, safe even for breast cancer patients, systemic hormones, or new non-hormonal NK3 receptor antagonists like fezolinetant. They discuss the SWAN study's findings on long-term risks from untreated hot flashes (e.g., cardiovascular disease, bone loss), the need to differentiate perimenopausal (temporary) vs. lifelong postmenopausal effects, and avoiding arbitrary hormone therapy stops after 5 years. The conversation also touches on sexual health gaps in medicine, with tips for better history-taking and resources like Dr. Stryker's "Come Again" course. Listeners, clinicians and patients alike, will gain tools to address menopause holistically, improving quality of life and preventing complications. Three Actionable Takeaways: Recognize GSM in Recurrent UTIs: For postmenopausal women with new-onset recurrent UTIs, suspect genitourinary syndrome of menopause, prescribe local vaginal estrogen (cream, suppository, or ring) to restore microbiome and tissue health; it's safe for most, including breast cancer survivors on aromatase inhibitors. Reassure on Palpitations First: When midlife women present with palpitations, lead with "This is common in perimenopause (up to 50% affected) likely autonomic dysfunction like a 'heart hot flash'"; order a Holter monitor, but emphasize it's often benign and tied to vasomotor symptoms, treatable with hormones or NK3 antagonists. Integrate Sexual History Properly: Ditch "Are you sexually active?",  ask "Many women in menopause experience low libido, pain with sex, or orgasm difficulty; are any of these issues for you?"; refer to resources like Dr. Streicher's course for evaluation scripts, screeners, and solutions to address 50% of patients' unspoken concerns.

I have so many friends struggling with infertility or getting different fertility information from their doctors—”freeze your eggs, don't freeze your eggs, it's okay that you don't get your period, it's a warning sign”. Then I read Dr. Natalie Crawford's amazing book, The Fertility Formula, and I found out that there's a HUGE underlying cause of infertility that I've never heard anyone talk about.  So today, I'm fortunate to have on Dr. Natalie Crawford, a world renowned fertility doctor, a double board certified OBGYN, and author of The Fertility Formula, to clear things up. We're talking about exactly what to do in your 20s, 30s, and 40s for your fertility. And heads up—even if you don't want kids, your fertility is incredibly important for your overall health.  Whether you're trying to put yourself in the best possible position for the future you want, or you're trying to solve a problem, this episode is going to help, and you're going to get information you won't hear anywhere else.
