Many women reach their 30s and suddenly feel an invisible pressure set in. The clock gets louder. The messaging gets scarier. And fertility, something that once felt distant or optional, becomes charged with fear, urgency, and self-blame.This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered if they waited too long, if their body is betraying them, or if turning 35 means everything has suddenly changed.This is not a failure of timing.This is not a lack of effort.And it is not a fertility cliff.In this hol+ conversation, Dr. Taz sits down with double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist Dr. Lucky Sekhon to dismantle one of the most anxiety-producing myths in women's health: that fertility suddenly collapses at 35.Dr. Lucky explains why fertility is a continuum, not a deadline, and why the panic surrounding age often does more harm than the biology itself. Using clear science and compassionate language, she breaks down the difference between egg quantity and egg quality, why egg quality cannot be directly tested, and what actually changes as women age.This episode explores why fertility struggles are increasing worldwide, even among young women, and how factors like insulin resistance, PCOS, endometriosis, inflammation, environmental toxins, and chronic stress quietly shape reproductive health long before pregnancy becomes a goal.Dr. Taz and Dr. Lucky also reframe painful and irregular periods as vital signs that should never be ignored, explain why many fertility diagnoses remain unclear, and clarify how treatments like IUI and IVF work not because the body is broken, but because human reproduction is naturally inefficient.From fear-based fertility messaging to evidence-based clarity, this conversation offers a grounding reset. If you are trying to get pregnant, thinking about egg freezing, navigating fertility anxiety, or simply want to understand your body better, this episode replaces panic with perspective and urgency with informed choice.Dr. Taz and Dr. Lucky Sekhon discuss:• Why fertility does not suddenly end at 35• The difference between egg count and egg quality• Why egg quality cannot be directly tested• The real drivers behind declining fertility rates• PCOS, endometriosis, and insulin resistance as fertility blockers• Why painful or irregular periods are red flags• What fertility treatments actually improve and what they cannot• How to approach pregnancy with clarity instead of fearAbout Dr. Lucky SekhonDr. Lucky Sekhon is a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, and OB/GYN based in New York City.

Preeclampsia is one of those pregnancy conditions that gets mentioned often, explained poorly, and frequently dismissed until it suddenly isn't. In this episode, HeHe sits down with Dr. Dallas Reed to pull back the curtain on what preeclampsia actually is, how it shows up, and what expectant parents deserve to understand long before things feel urgent. Together, they break down the basics in a way that's clear and human, including how common preeclampsia really is, what symptoms to take seriously, and how to make sense of blood pressure readings and pregnancy-related hypertension diagnoses. Dr. Reed explains the differences between severe and non-severe preeclampsia, what monitoring can look like before and after 37 weeks, and why postpartum preeclampsia deserves more attention than it often gets. The conversation also explores prevention and management, including lifestyle considerations, aspirin use, and how care plans may differ depending on risk level, gestational age, and whether someone is being monitored inpatient or outpatient. A major focus of the episode is the future of personalized maternal care, including a deep dive into the Encompass test. This new RNA-based blood test, available between 18 and 22 weeks, helps identify pregnancies at higher risk for preeclampsia and pairs that insight with an evidence-based action plan and virtual support. Dr. Reed shares how this type of testing may change the way providers and families approach monitoring, communication, and early intervention, including potential benefits for out-of-hospital birth settings. This episode is grounded, evidence-based, and empowering, offering expectant parents tools, language, and understanding so they can participate confidently in their care rather than feeling blindsided by it.   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction to Preeclampsia 00:56 Welcome to The Birth Lounge Podcast 01:39 Features of The Birth Lounge App 03:00 Pregnancy and Postpartum Articles 04:54 Introduction to Today's Episode 07:47 Discussion with Dr. Dallas Reed 08:35 Understanding Preeclampsia 10:46 Symptoms and Diagnosis 18:56 Managing Blood Pressure During Pregnancy 22:37 Risk Factors and Prevention 31:59 Strategies to Prevent Preeclampsia 32:29 Healthy Lifestyle Recommendations 33:37 Monitoring and Follow-Up 35:05 Risks and Complications of Preeclampsia 37:05 Postpartum Preeclampsia 39:20 Managing Preeclampsia Before 37 Weeks 41:20 Inpatient Care and Medications 46:22 Understanding the Encompass Test 53:06 Benefits of the Encompass Test for Home Births 58:19 Final Thoughts and Resources   Guest Bio: Dr. Dallas Reed, practicing OBGYN, medical geneticist and advisor to Mirvie, a company delivering data-driven solutions for predictive and preventive care in pregnancy.

EP575. Is it ADHD… or is it perimenopause? Or is it both showing up at the same time to completely derail your nervous system?In this solo episode of The Mom Room, Renee gets real about her experience with ADHD, taking Vyvanse, and navigating perimenopause in her late 30s and early 40s. After a conversation with an OBGYN that stopped her in her tracks, Renee explores why so many women feel like their brains and bodies suddenly stop working, and why the overlap between ADHD symptoms and perimenopause symptoms is so often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed.Renee breaks down common ADHD symptoms in women, common perimenopause symptoms, where they overlap, and why medications like Vyvanse are helping some women function better during this stage of life. She also shares her personal experience starting birth control to manage perimenopause symptoms, why it helped, why it eventually won't be enough, and what modern hormone replacement therapy (HRT) actually looks like in 2026.This episode is equal parts educational, validating, and rage-inducing (in the best way). If you've been feeling overwhelmed, foggy, irritable, exhausted, or like you're “failing at adulting,” this conversation will make one thing very clear: you are not broken, you are under-supported.Women deserve real information, real treatment, and real quality of life. And we're finally starting to talk about it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Shepard, board-certified OB/GYN and Chief Medical Officer of Hers, shares that the FDA just removed the black box warning on hormone replacement therapy after 23 years. We discuss what actually happened with the WHI study that created all the fear around estrogen and breast cancer, and why the research never actually supported that narrative.Dr. Shepard explains why you shouldn't wait until menopause to start the HRT conversation and how starting in your perimenopausal years can make all the difference for long-term health. Dr. Shepard shares the essential labs she runs on patients including ApoB, HbA1c, and thyroid optimization, plus the longevity metrics women should be tracking.We also get into supplement recommendations including why she recommends 10 grams of creatine daily, the role of inflammation in aging, and how estrogen is naturally anti-inflammatory which is why women see increased cardiovascular risk and metabolic dysfunction after menopause.Kayla's social + website:Instagram:  kaylabarnesTikTok:  femalelongevityTwitter: https://x.com/femalelongevityWebsite: https://www.kaylabarnes.comSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OLWWn2...Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Follow Her Female Protocol: https://www.protocol.kaylabarnes.comDr. Jessica Shepherd's social + website:Website: https://www.jessicashepherdmd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessicashepherdmd/Transform Your Health: https://eudemonia.net/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=kayla-podcast&utm_campaign=jessica-shepherd

One out of ninety women will develop ovarian cancer in her lifetime. It is the second most common gynecologic cancer and the fifth leading cause of death among women from cancer. Roughly 25% percent of ovarian cancer is hereditary. If a woman is a carrier of one of the gene mutations associated with ovarian cancer, her risk is strikingly higher than the risk of the general population.  But most women who carry this genetic mutation…don't know it.  My guest is Dr. Michelle Jacobson, an internationally recognized expert in menopause and cancer survivorship who has dedicated her professional life to educating women about hereditary cancer syndromes- who should be screened, and what to do with that information. She is an assistant professor at the university of Toronto, the chief of OBGYN for Osler Health Systems and the lead author of The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada Clinical Guidelines on menopause management after breast cancer and is also the host of the Hysterical Women's Podcast.www.covenhealth.comInsta: @covenhealth We discuss how to know if you fall into a high-risk group, and if you do, what to do about it. We also discuss prevention and detection of ovarian cancer if you do not have a genetic predisposition. Link to study on use of hormone therapy with a BRCA mutationhttps://drstreicher.substack.com/p/can-women-at-the-highest-risk-ofFacing Our RiskNational  Comprehensive Care NetworkDr. Michelle Jacobsonwww.covenhealth.comInsta: @covenhealth Facebook: coven women's health  https://www.facebook.com/share/1J4vcK2fie/?mibextid=wwXIfrLinked in: Dr. Michelle Jacobson OBGYN  http://linkedin.com/in/dr-michelle-jacobson-obgyn-763028310  COME AGAIN is a 30-part audio series to address the biological, hormonal, and medical issues that can sabotage your sex life.

Three facts are scientifically undisputed: Serotonin is essential for fetal brain development. SSRIs disrupt the serotonin system. SSRIs freely cross the placenta. So why are pregnant women being told these drugs carry "little or no risk"?In this rare head-to-head debate, Dr. Adam Urato—maternal-fetal medicine specialist and FDA expert panelist—faces off against Dr. Robert Chen, a psychiatry resident willing to do what most of his colleagues won't: step into the arena and defend the establishment position.What unfolds is a striking conversation where both physicians actually agree on more than you'd expect—including that informed consent is failing pregnant women, that the chemical imbalance theory is dead, and that "untreated depression" is a misleading frame designed to sell drugs. The uncomfortable question neither side can fully answer: If SSRIs are correcting depression, why does the research show worse outcomes for women who stay on them?This isn't anti-medication propaganda. It's the conversation your doctor isn't trained to have with you.Listen before you fill that prescription.

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic are everywhere—but most conversations completely miss what midlife women actually need to know. In this powerful interview, Kim sits down with Dr. Alicia Robbins, board-certified OB/GYN, lifestyle medicine diplomate, and certified menopause practitioner, to unpack the real story behind GLP-1s, microdosing, perimenopause, HRT, and the shame that still surrounds women's health in midlife. They dive deep into: Why “just eat less and move more” is failing women over 40 What GLP-1s really do beyond weight loss: inflammation, brain fog, cravings, and joint pain How to advocate for yourself with your doctor (and what to say when they shut you down) The real reason HRT prescriptions dropped and what you need to know now Why brain fog still isn't officially recognized, and what to do about it How microdosing GLP-1s can support metabolism, mental clarity, and recovery The backlash, stigma, and the jealousy narrative behind the “shortcut” debate This conversation is honest, science-backed, and deeply empowering. If you're navigating midlife, perimenopause, menopause, or simply confused by the noise around GLP-1s, this episode will help you cut through the BS.

In this episode, I talk about the part of grief that doesn't fit the mold—the way loss makes you different, and how few people truly understand the way we navigate the world afterward. There's an unexpected empowerment that comes from owning that difference. From letting go of how grief should look. From stopping the need to be understood. And from building a life after loss in the way you need to, not the way others expect. If you've ever felt like a misfit in your grief, about how you're doing this and am looking for guidance on owning it, this one is for you. JOIN LOSSLINK.COM to find your loss posse ************************************* NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist.

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. Questions Answered: 1. A 30-year-old in a same-sex couple with anovulatory PCOS managed on metformin, high AMH, and otherwise normal labs moved from failed IUIs to IVF and had 19 mature eggs but only 4 fertilized despite good donor sperm—what could explain low fertilization rates and how should the next steps be approached? 2. 35 and trying for baby number two, and her 40-year-old husband has been on the GLP-1 medication Zepbound for four months—are there known effects of GLP-1s on male fertility, and should men discontinue them while trying to conceive? 3. A patient with PCOS and mildly elevated thyroid levels is experiencing medication interactions and was prescribed 2.5 mg of methylfolate— is this dose appropriate, and should she be taking methylfolate, folic acid, or both? 4. A patient with endometriosis underwent two egg retrievals, one with estrogen priming that triggered an endometriosis flare and resulted in very high estrogen levels and poor egg maturity—are there stimulation protocols better suited for patients with endometriosis undergoing IVF? 5. A 38-year-old planning IUI with donor sperm, normal fertility workup, AMH of 3.3, and a personal history of being a twin is deciding between natural versus medicated cycles— which approach is more successful while minimizing twin risk and preserving future fertility goals?

They address common misconceptions, the roles of different health professionals, and emphasize the importance of pelvic floor physical therapy and the appropriate use of systemic and vaginal estrogen therapy. The conversation also highlights critical gaps in research surrounding laser and radiofrequency interventions, underscoring the need for stronger evidence, clearer patient education, and continued advocacy around menopause care and sexual function. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction02:11 - Defining Vaginal Rejuvenation04:35 - Common Procedures and Misconceptions10:04 - Insurance and Coverage of Procedures12:04 - Laser and Radiofrequency Therapies18:10 - Vaginal Estrogen and Lift of Black Box Warning19:59 - The Role of Systemic Hormone Therapy26:56 - Vaginal Rejuvenation Misconceptions32:21 - Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy and Timing of Procedures34:24 - Regional Variations in Therapeutic Availability38:40 - Gender Inequity in Healthcare40:16 - Final Thoughts --- RESOURCES Joint Report on Terminology for Cosmetic Gynecology https://journals.lww.com/fpmrs/abstract/2022/06000/joint_report_on_terminology_for_cosmetic.2.aspx

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.
