Podcasts about obstetricians

Send us Fan MailThere are moments in healthcare when a few words from your doctor can completely change the way you feel.“Your test was abnormal.”“We found something.”“We need to do more testing.”“We're not sure what this means yet.”And suddenly, fear takes over. We want answers immediately. We want to know what to do. And sometimes, in that fear, we make decisions before we've had a chance to fully understand what we're dealing with.My guest today believes there is another way.Dr. Christian Borberg is a board-certified OB/GYN and Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Throughout his career, he has cared for women through pregnancy, gynecologic concerns, surgery, and some of the most uncertain and vulnerable moments in healthcare.But today, his work goes beyond the exam room. He is developing an educational mission to help women navigate medical uncertainty without allowing fear to make the decisions for them.His guiding philosophy is beautifully simple:“Don't React. Reflect. Then Respond.”Today we're going to talk about what that actually looks like when you're the patient—when you're frightened, when you don't understand a diagnosis, when you're given several options, or when your doctor says, “We don't know yet.”How do we slow down without ignoring something important? How do we ask better questions? And how do we become active participants in our healthcare without feeling like we have to become our own doctor? Dr. Borberg answers these questions and more in this important conversation.In the five minute snippet: What he said!

SAFETY: What Does Safety Actually Feel Like?What do we really mean when we talk about safety in birth?In this episode, I introduce the first word in the SPACE Framework™: Safety.When we talk about safe birth, we often think about physical or clinical safety, and of course, the wellbeing of both mother and baby matters enormously. But safety is not only about clinical observations, equipment or the ability to respond if something changes.A woman is also experiencing birth through her nervous system.She is constantly responding to the people around her, the information she receives, the way she is spoken to and whether she feels able to relax, ask questions and let go.The question I leave you with this week is:What will I need to feel safe enough to let go?Explore the SPACE Framework™ - https://stan.store/sallyannberesford/p/the-space-framework--digital-pdf (This is FREE within the Discover Your North Star Course)Send me a messageIf you want to access any of my free resources click here:-https://stan.store/sallyannberesfordIf you want to learn more about my Discover Your North Star Course then read more here:- https://stan.store/sallyannberesford/p/discover-your-north-star-If you love the podcast and would like to support it, then please use the link to 'buy me a coffee' - https://bmc.link/sallyannberesfordIf you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner  - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can find all my classes and courses on my website - www.sallyannberesford.co.ukFollow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpar...

Most dentists accept that oral health and systemic health are connected. The harder question, as Dr. Reza Ardalan puts it, is what that knowledge actually changes when a patient is sitting in the chair. In this episode, Dr. Lucy Hooper, a London GP and co-founder of the prevention-first practice Coyne Medical, answers from the physician's side of the referral. Her answer keeps returning to inflammation. Dr. Hooper explains why the gut-mouth relationship runs in both directions, including lab research showing that immune cells primed in the gut against P. gingivalis can travel to the gums and drive bone loss. She is candid that much of this evidence is still coming from the lab rather than from patients. She makes the case that recurring mouth ulcers deserve a second look in a patient with otherwise good home care, since oral signs of inflammatory bowel disease can appear well before intestinal symptoms. Very few of those patients are ever asked about their mouth by the physician managing their disease. The most practical stretch of the conversation is about antibiotics. More than 90% of patients carrying a penicillin allergy label aren't allergic, according to Dr. Hooper. The clindamycin they're prescribed instead can leave the gut microbiome altered years later. Dentists see that label constantly and are well placed to question it. Dr. Hooper also shares what makes a referral letter land with a physician: be direct, say exactly what worries you, and never assume the doctor knows dentistry. She explains why she believes saliva is about to become one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in medicine, and dentists are already the ones collecting it. Her advice for Monday morning is simple: ask one more question. Key Points Why the gut-mouth connection runs both ways, and where the science is still catching up How a questionable penicillin allergy label can cost a patient's gut health for years What recurring mouth ulcers can signal about disease beyond the mouth The open-ended question Dr. Hooper wants every dentist asking When a referral letter gets a physician's attention, and what to leave out Where saliva diagnostics is headed next Dr. Lucy Hooper is a general practitioner and co-founder of Coyne Medical, a private family practice in Fulham, London, focused on prevention, early detection, and unhurried, personalized care. A graduate of Imperial College London, she holds a Bachelor of Science, a Master's in Healthcare Law and Ethics, Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners, the Diploma of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and a Diploma in Child Health. Her practice pairs traditional family medicine with advanced health screening, including genomics and biomarker-based prevention. She is a speaker at the upcoming Wellness Dental Forum 2026 and, with Dr. Hugh Coyne, teaches a continuing education course for dentists, Dentistry & Whole-Body Health.

Sept. 8, 2026- Democratic state lawmakers are looking to strengthen restrictions on the use of shackles on pregnant women in police custody or a carceral setting. Our guest is Dr. Natalie Whaley, legislative chair for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists District 2.

We take Labor Day seriously around here. Which is to say, "off." We take Labor Day off. Not always, of course. Which undermines the earlier premise. But we're not not doing it today, so who cares? What we are doing is re-running our September 8, 2025 show. And won't you be surprised by how very similar certain parts of the news still are? Here's what we were up to at about this time, one year ago: David Waldman catches us up on the multiple disasters since Friday. Greg Dworkin catches us up on the multiple disasters since Thursday. Boooo! Trump was booooooooed at the US Open. If they don't want to hear boos, they shouldn't invite Trump. Or Winsome Earle-Sears. Tiny hands, deep throat, Donald K. Trump was an FBI Snitch according to Mike Johnson, the last guy anyone would trust to keep a secret. The Miami Herald and New York Times seek to unseal records on Jeffrey Epstein's estate, while we all know that Jeffrey Epstein and everyone on the Epstein list has been brought to you by capitalism. Zohran Mamdanimentum continues as Americans are beginning to see capitalism about as badly as they do Trump. LG Energy specialists squeezed into 90+ day rotations to set up a Hyundai battery plant in Georgia were caught in violation of that "+" part, were belly-chained and hauled out of the country. The plant they were setting up won't be hiring Americans any time soon, thanks to Karen-Republican Mar-a-Lago wannabe Tori Branum. Don't expect to hear more from Branum but do expect a lot more plants to be shut down. The Department of War begins its Midway Blitz, which is not a war, it is simply a police action. Why do so many Republicans think Trump is more liberal than he is? If people die in Florida because of lack of vaccines, it will be a surprise to Florida Surgeon General Ladapo. RFK Jr. will have seen it all coming, as he always does a year or so later. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists will save lives in the future by ignoring the CDC today. Ironically, the owner of one of the most punchable faces in politics, Scott Bessent, keeps wanting to punch others in their faces. This time it was the quite punchable Bill Pulte and for the same reason as Scott picked ever punchable Elon Musk. Scott heard both were bad mouthing him to Donald. Scott almost took Bill out, back there on the cement slab they have over the White House septic tank. E. Jean Carroll won her judgement against Trump again.

TWIRx NEWS 1. Medicare Part D Paid Nearly $588 Million for Ineligible OTC Drugs   A federal audit found that Medicare Part D sponsors made approximately $587.7 million in ineligible payments from 2021 through 2023 for medications that had effectively transitioned from prescription to over-the-counter status.   The HHS Office of Inspector General cited outdated FDA information and the lack of a clear CMS rejection timeline as major contributors.   Why it matters: This exposes a serious coordination problem across FDA data, manufacturers, CMS, health plans and pharmacy claims systems.   Pharmacists may see the rejection or payment issue at the counter, but the failure often begins far upstream.   Read the Fierce Healthcare report Read the HHS-OIG audit 2. FDA Responds to Estradiol Patch Supply Pressure   The FDA is working with six manufacturers to improve access to estradiol transdermal patches amid increased demand.   While FDA has not declared a national shortage, availability varies by product, strength and geographic area. Manufacturers are increasing production through larger batches, added shifts and expanded capacity.   Why it matters: Pharmacists are again serving as the front line of a supply-chain challenge—helping patients locate medication, coordinating with prescribers and identifying alternatives.   Read the Reuters report Read the FDA update 3. New RSV and COVID-19 Guidance Released   The American Academy of Pediatrics and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have issued updated recommendations for RSV and COVID-19 protection during the 2026–2027 respiratory season.   Why it matters: Pharmacists may face conflicting recommendations, patient confusion and questions about eligibility.   Clear counseling and coordination with pediatric and obstetric providers will be critical.   Read the Pharmacy Times report SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM OUTCOMES   A special update from Megan Urban and Outcomes.   Outcomes is highlighting new enhancements to its Rx30 pharmacy management platform, including a refreshed user experience, automated data-entry capabilities and support from a dedicated Client Success Team.   The program will explore how these updates can streamline pharmacy workflows, save time and support greater focus on patient care.   Presented by: Dalia Rios and Kaley Lester September 9, 2026 — 1:30 p.m. ET   Register here FEATURED CONVERSATION Building a Bridge to GLP-1 Access   Our featured guest is HaVy Ngo-Hamilton, PharmD, RPh, Senior Pharmacy Director at Buzz Health.   HaVy works at the intersection of pharmacy, healthcare technology, medication affordability and prescription access.   Buzz Health operates platforms including BuzzRx, RxCompare and RxAffect, with a focus on helping connect patients, pharmacies, prescribers and prescription pricing information.   That makes today's discussion particularly timely. THE MEDICARE GLP-1 BRIDGE   CMS launched the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge on July 1, 2026, to provide eligible Medicare Part D beneficiaries access to selected GLP-1 medications for weight management.   The demonstration runs through December 31, 2027.   Eligible beneficiaries pay $50 for a monthly supply, while the program operates outside the traditional Part D payment flow through centralized prior authorization, claims adjudication and pharmacy payment.   Eligible therapies currently include:   Foundayo® Wegovy® Zepbound®   The bigger issue is not simply GLP-1 coverage.   It is how healthcare connects eligibility, affordability, prior authorization, pharmacy workflow and patient access.   The central question for today's discussion:   Can we create a medication-access system where patients know whether they can obtain and afford their therapy before they reach the pharmacy counter? CLOSING THOUGHT   The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge is more than another federal drug program.   It is a real-world test of how healthcare can better connect coverage, affordability, prior authorization and pharmacy fulfillment around high-demand therapies.   Pharmacists remain at the center of that process.   The opportunity is to use technology to move more complexity upstream—allowing pharmacists to spend less time troubleshooting prescriptions and more time caring for patients.   Our thanks to HaVy Ngo-Hamilton, PharmD, RPh, Senior Pharmacy Director at Buzz Health, for joining us on This Week in Pharmacy.   Learn more about the CMS Medicare GLP-1 Bridge   Learn more about Buzz Health   TWIRx — This Week in Pharmacy Pharmacy Podcast Network   Amplifying the Voice of Pharmacy.

Today we are diving into a topic that is incredibly close to my heart—one that has the potential to fundamentally change how we approach prenatal care and protect pregnant patients. We're talking about low-dose aspirin for the prevention of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Now, if you follow current formal guidelines, you probably know the standard protocol: 81 milligrams a day, prescribed based on specific risk factors. But there's a growing body of evidence suggesting we might be underdosing—and under-prescribing. What if 162 milligrams taken universally across the board is actually far more effective?In today's episode, we're unpacking a brand-new, groundbreaking study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. And I'm especially excited to cover this one because it comes straight out of my alma mater, Parkland Hospital! This study takes a bold look at real-world outcomes by comparing a period of universal 162-milligram aspirin use directly against a historical period when aspirin wasn't recommended at all. Did a higher, universal dose significantly cut down on hypertensive disorders? And just as importantly …were there any adverse safety events we need to be aware of? Grab your coffee, settle in, and let's get into the details.1. Duryea E, Ambia A, Pruszynski J. et al. Universal Aspirin Dispensation for Prevention of Preeclampsia in a High-Risk Population.

In part 2 of this episode of The Phoenix Cast, Violence Prevention Educator Cassandra Carmona-Wayman (she/hers/ella) continues her conversation with reproductive health advocate Cristina Ponce (she/hers) about Abortion Access, Reproductive Coercion, and Survivor Autonomy. Cristina shares her abortion story and shares her lived experiences with these topics. We also unpack how shifting laws, financial barriers, and crisis pregnancy centers impact survivor autonomy and safety. We highlight practical resources like abortion funds, doulas, travel support, and trusted clinic locators. We also break down myths about medication abortion and centering abortion as both healthcare and a crucial safety option for survivors of violence.Content warnings: discussion of abortion (including personal and self-managed abortion stories), reproductive coercion, intimate partner and interpersonal violence, sexual violence (including rape and sexual coercion), pregnancy-related homicide risk, and anti-abortion harassment/misinformation.Additionally:We discuss healthcare clinics and abortion providers near the Denver Metro area. Please be aware of clinics that misrepresent their services and can appear misleading to patients in need of care. Some “crisis pregnancy centers” near campus and in Denver are not medical clinics and may offer misleading or incomplete information about abortion and pregnancy options.

In part 1 of this episode of The Phoenix Cast, Violence Prevention Educator Cassandra Carmona-Wayman (she/hers/ella) talks with reproductive health advocate Cristina Ponce (she/hers) about how abortion care works, common myths about abortion, and the impact of post‑Dobbs restrictions. They also explore reproductive coercion as a form of abuse, its connections to interpersonal violence, and why protecting survivors' bodily autonomy and access to abortion is essential.Content warnings: discussion of intimate partner violence, reproductive coercion, sexual and physical violence, abortion (including later‑term), pregnancy loss, legal and systemic barriers to care, and brief mention of hospitalization due to assault.Additionally:We discuss healthcare clinics and abortion providers near the Denver Metro area. Please be aware of clinics that misrepresent their services and can appear misleading to patients in need of care. Some “crisis pregnancy centers” near campus and in Denver are not medical clinics and may offer misleading or incomplete information about abortion and pregnancy options. When you can, seek licensed providers or clinics that clearly offer full-spectrum reproductive healthcare, and remember you can reach out to the Phoenix Center at Auraria for confidential support and accurate referrals.Sources and Resources mentioned in the episode:American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Overview of Gestational Diabetes Evaluation and Credit:  Evaluation and Credit:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medchat92 Target AudienceThis activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers. Statement of Need This podcast explores the evolving landscape of perinatal diabetes care. Diabetes poses significant risks during pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period. Yet, many patients enter pregnancy without adequate metabolic control, and systemic barriers often prevent optimal care coordination. The clinical complexities of managing diabetes across the perinatal timeline, including preconception counseling, glycemic targets during pregnancy, delivery planning, and postpartum follow-up will be discussed. Objectives  1.     Define current clinical guidelines for the screening and diagnosis of gestational diabetes. 2.     Discuss the role of preconception counseling, including optimization of metabolic control and medication management in patients with or at risk for diabetes during pregnancy.  3.     Describe evidence-based pharmacologic management, including the use of insulin, for diabetes during and after pregnancy. 4.     Recognize the short- and long-term maternal and fetal risks associated with gestational diabetes.    ModeratorKris E.

Iranian writer, Shahrnush Parsipur, who spent her life documenting what it meant to be a woman living under repression in Iran, died this week in the US, at the age of 80. Anita Rani talks to Iranian journalist Paxima Mojavvezi about Shahrnush, a pioneer of feminist literature, whose book Women Without Men was banned in Iran, but nevertheless became an underground bestseller. According to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, around two-thirds of women will develop at least one uterine fibroid during their lifetime - that's a non-cancerous growth that develops in or around the womb. Despite being a common reproductive health issues, fibroids remain under-discussed and can leave some women without the knowledge to seek treatment. Anita is joined by a gynaecologist Dr Michelle Griffin, author of a new book, Fibroids: Everything You Need to Know from Symptoms to Diagnosis and Beyond and Dawn Heels who suffered for decades with fibroid symptoms and is now a campaigner for the condition. Many of us are familiar with the onerous, often painful process of sorting through the wardrobes of our loved ones who have died. It raises difficult choices about what to do with clothes that can carry emotional weight and evoke many memories. Anita discusses what people can do to keep memories alive with Sophie Lewis, founder of The Reincarnation Club, a service which creates new outfits out of old and Pip Housam, general manager of Love Keep Create, a company which transforms cherished clothing into lasting keepsakes.Is it correct to assume that a former elite athlete is always healthy? A research project from the University of Edinburgh is exploring just that by looking at the current health status of retired female Olympians and how this compares to females in the general population. Anita speaks to lead researcher Dr Lauren Guilfoyle and five-time Olympian runner, Jo Pavey.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

Dr. Carole Keim takes listeners through one of the earliest and most important decisions in pregnancy: choosing the right support team. In this solo episode, she explains the differences between obstetricians, certified nurse midwives, and doulas, helping parents understand the unique role each plays during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery. Dr. Keim also walks through the typical timeline of prenatal visits, ultrasounds, testing, and vaccines, giving expectant parents a practical overview of what to expect from the first positive pregnancy test through delivery. With her warm and reassuring approach, Dr. Keim also explores what labor and birth are really like beyond what's often portrayed in movies. She discusses birth plans, labor support, cervical checks, fetal monitoring, inductions, C-sections, and postpartum healing, while emphasizing that every pregnancy and birth experience is different. Parents will come away with a clearer understanding of how to build a supportive birth team and how to prepare emotionally and physically for welcoming a new baby.  Key Moments 00:00 Introduction to OBs, midwives, and doulas 02:17 Pregnancy tests and scheduling the first prenatal appointment 03:35 The 8–12 week visit, ultrasounds, and viability checks 05:35 The 20-week anatomy scan and fetal development 07:53 Glucose tolerance testing and gestational diabetes screening 10:16 Vaccines during pregnancy: Tdap, flu, COVID, and RSV 12:29 Breech babies, turning procedures, and planned C-sections 14:58 Routine late pregnancy visits and induction discussions 16:15 Certified nurse midwives vs obstetricians 20:07 What doulas do during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum 24:23 Birth plans, labor positions, and creating a calming environment 27:13 Labor monitoring, cervical checks, and delivery interventions 31:59 Postpartum healing, recovery, and spacing pregnancies 35:23 Final thoughts and additional resources for parents __ How to choose an OB or midwife  OBs, family doctors, and midwives can deliver babies Group practices are pretty standard nowadays; meet your main doctor/midwife but also meet the team who might be delivering (either other people in the office or a laborist) Personality fit is a big deal Obstetricians and family doctors are medical doctors.  Their training involves 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, and 4 years of residency (12 years total). There are two types of midwives: lay midwives and CNMs. Lay midwives are those who have experience delivering low-risk babies out of the hospital, typically at home.  They have no certification or licensure requirements, and no formal medical training.  Home births with a lay midwife are by far the most dangerous and I have seen some bad outcomes and cannot ethically support them.  When I speak about midwives during this episode, I am not including lay midwives. CNMs are required to have a bachelor's degree in nursing (4 years of undergrad), then 2 years of graduate-level nurse midwife training (6 years total). The main differences are the knowledge base and the approach to care. Doctors Nurses OBs, family doctors, and midwives can see you during your pregnancy and can deliver babies vaginally. Only OBs can perform c sections and take care of high-risk pregnancies (moms under 18yrs or over 35 years, those with health conditions, those with prior c-section, twins/triplets Birth location OBs deliver in hospitals because it is the safest setting Midwives can deliver at hospitals, birth centers, and/or at home depending on the local regulations Timing of appointments   In the US, the number of weeks starts at the beginning of your last period, so when you miss a period and test you are 4 weeks pregnant Ovulation and fertilization happen at 2 weeks, so you aren't actually pregnant until then, but we are counting from LMP In the US, the due date is at 40 weeks In other countries they may count dates starting at conception/ovulation, so the due date is at 38 weeks Initial appt: 6-8 weeks or whenever you find out you're pregnant, whichever is later First trimester (until 12 weeks and 6 days): you'll be seen 2-3x; initial confirmation appt, 6-8 weeks for dating, 10-12 weeks for NIPT. Blood testing and urine testing for STIs, drugs, ultrasound for dates, hear heartbeat, NIPT (check out the genetics episode 503) Second trimester (13 0/7 to 27 6/7): appts about every other week, anatomy scan, testing for gestational diabetes, further genetic testing and/or ultrasounds if indicated. Third trimester (28-40 weeks): appointments every 2 weeks, then weekly starting at 38 weeks.  Check urine for protein (a sign of pre eclampsia) at each visit.  GBS screen.  RPR on admission to hospital. Postpartum: 2 weeks and 6 weeks High-risk pregnancies will be seen more often.  A pregnancy can become high risk at any time. Doula What they can do: emotional support, physical comfort during labor and delivery. What they can't do: anything medical, including deliver babies. Reasons you might want one: to keep you as comfortable as possible during labor; they can get you food/water/ice chips, rub your feet or neck if you want, call the nurse for you, crowd control, can articulate your preferences while you're in labor, possibly also attending to partner during delivery Reasons you might not want one: expense, privacy, not needed if you have a support person Birthing options / Birth plans Birth plans How you want your birth experience to be Birth is a very tenuous process and doesn't always go according to plan.  A birth plan is a nice outline of preferences, if you have any. If you are planning a vaginal delivery, keep in mind that your birth team has the main objective of having a healthy mom and baby.  If your provider says that something needs to change during labor or delivery, there is usually a medical safety reason for that change. Scheduled C-Sections Reasons you might be scheduled for a C-section: repeat, breech baby, twins/triplets, high risk for underlying medical conditions in you or the baby.  Scheduled C-sections typically have a shorter birth plan: music in the operating room one support person in there with you will the support person go with the baby or stay with mom when the C-section is over? Even if you're scheduled for a C-section, you might go into labor early and need an urgent or emergent C-section before the scheduled date. Scheduled inductions  Reasons you might be scheduled: post dates, pre eclampsia, gestational diabetes, specific high-risk pregnancy reasons There are a few ways to induce labor, including medication taken by mouth or placed in the vagina to help open the cervix, IV medication called pitocin which causes your uterus to contract, and placing something such as a stick that absorbs fluid and expands or a balloon that is placed by your provider in the cervix to help it open Less to plan, but the same as for vaginal delivery. Mixed evidence as to whether scheduled inductions are more or less likely to end in C-section Vaginal delivery If you fully go into labor naturally, meaning you have contractions every 3-5 minutes lasting 1 minute each and your water breaks, you may need no intervention at all. Areas to plan: People who will be there Environment: music, smells, lighting, etc Comfort measures / pain relief - birth ball, shower, tub, squat bar, etc Words to use or to avoid Position for labor/delivery Mirror during delivery Plans for the placenta Newborn procedures: skin to skin, eye drops, vitamin K, Hep B, circumcision, timing of first bath, breast/bottle/both Who is allowed after baby is born and how they will be notified Check out The Baby Manual on Amazon.  It will give you peace of mind when your new baby arrives.   __  Resources discussed in this episode: The Holistic Mamas Handbook is available on Amazon The Baby Manual is also available on Amazon __ Contact Dr. Carole Keim MD Website: CaroleKeim.com Linktree TikTok Instagram   ---FullScriptUse this link to get 10% off and free shipping for orders over $50.HIRO DiapersUse code DRCAROLEKEIM for a discount at checkout.

Yesterday, board members of the Rotunda Hospital defied the Health minster by refusing to accept a government order to halt public-only consultants caring for private patients. The number of consultant obstetricians on public contracts at the hospitals is small, but it is reported that the hospital wishes to make a stand as a matter of principle. The dispute could see HSE funding for the rotunda withdrawn. Joining Pat for more on this was Dr Peter Boylan, former master of the National Maternity Hospital and former chairman of the Institute of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists

The way women give birth is changing, according to BBC analysis, which has discovered that one in four births in England are now emergency caesareans. The current figure is 26% - an increase of 8% in the past five years - and the rate of elective caesareans has also gone up. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists say the system is struggling to cope with this increased level of unplanned surgeries. To discuss what's behind the rise and the potential impact on women, presenter Kylie Pentelow is joined by BBC Health Correspondent Catherine Burns, President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Dr Alison Wright, and Helen Cheyne who's a Professor of Maternal and Infant Health Research at the University of Stirling. Hannah Murray was at the height of her fame as an actor in 2016, having found fame as the much-loved Cassie in E4's teen drama Skins, she was now a regular in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones as Gilly. But behind the scenes Hannah was struggling with her mental health, and she found herself involved in an organisation which offered courses in magical healing. The following year, Hannah was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She's since retired from acting and written a memoir about those turbulent times, called The Make-Believe – A Memoir of Magic and Madness. Women's rights charity FiLiA has launched a new national campaign to get Sexual Entertainment Venues, commonly referred to as strip clubs, off the streets. This is informed by new research examining how the venues are viewed and experienced by women living, working and moving nearby. They spoke to more than 700 women across Cardiff, Edinburgh and Manchester, with 55% of women opposed to the venues, and 8% expressing supportive views. Dr Laura Favaro, Director of Research at FiLiA, joins Kylie to discuss their report. The female CEO of dating app Hinge has said that Gen Z "need AI to start conversations on dating apps because they lack the confidence of older generations". Jackie Jantos told the BBC that daters in their 20s are spending less time with other people, compared to two decades ago, has affected their ability to meet and chat in person. To discuss whether AI could help or hinder dating, and the challenges of meeting people IRL, Kylie is joined by author and journalist Olivia Petter and Jessica Evans, founder of events company BODA, which stands for Bored of Dating Apps.And BBC Music correspondent Mark Savage joins us to discuss the breaking news that Kayna King, the entrepreneur and founder of the Mobo awards, has died aged 57 from colon cancer. The Mobo Organisation called her one of the UK music industry's "most fearless champions". Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Sarah Jane Griffiths

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) does not recommend routine ultrasound measurement of the lower uterine segment (LUS) thickness as part of the evaluation for trial of labor after cesarean delivery (TOLAC). ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 205 (2019) on Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Delivery does not include LUS measurement among its recommendations for TOLAC candidacy assessment. The guideline focuses on clinical factors such as type of prior uterine incision, number of prior cesarean deliveries, and other obstetric history to determine TOLAC candidacy, and emphasizes that most women with one previous low-transverse cesarean delivery should be counseled about and offered TOLAC. But what if you find a likely uterine window at the LUS? Does that mandate a repeat C-section? This topic comes from Serena, one of our podcast family members. Listen in for details. 1.

What if everything you've been told about nicotine… is incomplete? In this bold, thought-provoking episode, Dr. Anna Cabeca sits down with biohacking pioneer Dave Asprey to unpack the science, controversy, and real-world application of nicotine for brain health, longevity, and performance—and why dosage, context, and awareness matter more than ever. Dave Asprey is a 4x New York Times bestselling author, longevity expert, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and widely recognized as the creator of the biohacking movement. After losing over 100 pounds and transforming his own health, he's spent decades optimizing human performance and building tools that have shaped a multi-billion-dollar wellness industry. Together, Dr. Anna and Dave go deep—covering everything from microdosing nicotine and mitochondrial health to trauma healing, intuition, and the future of consciousness. In this episode, you'll learn: The truth about nicotine vs. smoking—and why they are NOT the same How low-dose nicotine (1–5 mg) may support brain clarity, focus, and neuroprotection The risks of addiction, tolerance, and overuse (and how to avoid them) A powerful "brain rescue stack" for cognitive decline (creatine, electrolytes, ketones + more) Why women are at higher risk for Alzheimer's—and what you can do now The role of mitochondria, trauma, and forgiveness in healing and longevity Dave's "5 F's framework" (fear, food, fertility, friend, forgiveness) and how it drives behavior How biohacking is evolving into consciousness and emotional resilience work ⏱️ Key Timestamps: 03:12 – Nicotine for cognitive performance: myth vs. science 10:45 – Addiction, dosing, and Dr. Anna's personal experience 18:20 – Brain fog, menopause, and neuroprotection strategies 26:10 – The "brain stack" for dementia and cognitive decline 38:05 – Mitochondria, trauma, and the root of emotional triggers 52:30 – Forgiveness as a biological reset  1:02:15 – The future of biohacking: consciousness + longevity 

Menopause is not just “hot flashes”—it is a systemic hormonal shift that affects almost every organ system. For the emergency clinician, recognizing the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause is crucial for expanding the differential diagnosis once life-threatening conditions are ruled out. Dr. Pam Dyne joins us for a crash course on evaluating menopausal and perimenopausal patients in the ED. The “Why”: Why Menopause Matters in the ED The Mimic: Menopausal symptoms can mimic emergencies, including cardiac events, neurologic issues, and acute musculoskeletal injuries. The “Nothing Bad” Trap: After a negative workup (e.g., for chest pain or abdominal pain), telling a patient “everything is normal” often leaves them without answers. Identifying menopause as a potential etiology provides patient-centered closure and a path to treatment. Empowerment: Many medical providers are insufficiently trained when it come to menopause – ED clinicians can help patients advocate for themselves. Physiology Refresher: When the Ovaries Retire The Signal: Prior to menopause, the brain sends FSH/LH to the ovaries, and the ovaries answer with estrogen. The Shift: In menopause, the ovaries “retire.” The brain keeps shouting (higher FSH levels), but the ovaries don't respond. Perimenopause: Hormones fluctuate wildly, cycles become irregular, and symptoms are often at their peak due to inconsistency. Hormone Therapy (MHT): Debunking the Myths A major barrier to treatment is the “mass hysteria” caused by the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study. The Correction: Modern re-analysis shows that for healthy females under 60 and within 10 years of menopause, hormone therapy is extremely safe. (There are some exceptions, including females at high risk for certain cancers) The Benefits: It has been shown to reduce all-cause mortality by 30% and has many potential health benefits, including lower the risk of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and osteoporotic fractures. The Difficult Pelvic Exam: ED “Hacks” Examining older female patients can be challenging for myriad reasons, including physical limitations and lack of proper ED pelvic exam gurneys. The Upside-Down Speculum: If you can’t use stirrups, keep the patient flat on the bed. Turn the speculum upside down (handle facing up) so it doesn’t hit the gurney. Tip: Push down on the handle; don’t pull up like a laryngoscope. Lateral Decubitus: Perform the exam with the patient on their side (top leg held up) if they cannot flex their hips. Comfort: Use liberal lubrication and consider topical lidocaine gel. The “Hidden” Problem: Always check for old/forgotten pessaries or fecal impaction in cases of pelvic pain or recurrent UTIs. Clinical Pearls: Specific Presentations 1. Post-Menopausal Bleeding Rule: Cancer until proven otherwise. Workup: Speculum exam (confirm source) + Ultrasound (measure endometrial thickness) + Endometrial biopsy (usually outpatient). 2. Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) Symptoms: Vaginal dryness, thinning tissue, pH changes, and recurrent UTIs (≥3 culture-proven UTIs in 12 months or ≥2 in 6 months). ED Treatment: ED docs can and should prescribe vaginal estrogen cream. It is not absorbed systemically and is highly effective at preventing future UTIs. 3. Pelvic Organ Prolapse Types: Cystocele (bladder), Rectocele (rectum), or Uterine prolapse. Exam Tip: Symptoms are often gravity-dependent. If you don’t see the bulge while the patient is supine, ask them to bear down. 4. Musculoskeletal (MSK) Syndrome of Menopause Presentation: atraumatic joint pain, tendinopathies. Cause: Estrogen receptors are located throughout the MSK system; loss of estrogen leads to inflammation and ligamentous changes. Key Takeaways for the ED Clinician Keep menopause on your differential: Don't dismiss vague aches, mood changes, or urinary issues in women aged 45–60 as “just stress.” Look at the Problem: If a patient has pelvic pain or bleeding, do the exam. You might find a simple fix, like a forgotten pessary or local atrophy. Connect to Care: If you suspect menopause is the culprit, point them toward menopause.org to find a certified practitioner.

Labia fillers are one of those beauty trends that's quietly gaining traction- and chances are, you didn't even know it was something you were supposed to think about.In this episode, I break down what labia fillers actually are, why more people are getting them, and the beauty standards driving the demand. We're getting into the language, the marketing, and the bigger cultural shift behind this idea of "rejuvenation."
