As she -- and her friends — approached the age of 35, senior correspondent Molly Webster kept hearing a phrase over and over: “fertility cliff.” It was a short-hand term to describe what she was told would happen to her fertility after she turned 35 — that is, it would drop off. Suddenly, sharply, dramatically. And this was well before she was supposed to hit menopause. Intrigued, Molly decided to look into it — what was the truth behind this so-called cliff, and when, if so, would she topple? This story first premiered in “Thirty Something,” a 2018 Radiolab live show that was part of, Gonads, (https://radiolab.org/series/radiolab-presents-gonads)a six-episode audio and live event series all about reproduction and the parts of us that make more of us.

Conscious Meaning We share every moment with trillions of other conscious beings. Some are much like us, and others experience the world very differently. Creatures without a language to structure their thoughts, some who see broader spectrums of light or others who might experience the world in comparative slow motion. Each conscious moment immediately slips into the past largely unobserved and forgotten. They fall through time like snow to become frozen in the past. Always to have happened just as they did. Each conscious moment is transient and one small part of a vast whole, so one could see any individual as meaningless and insignificant. But every conscious moment is imbued with meaning. Happiness that need not justify itself and pains that consume any desire but to escape them. As individuals, we are not responsible for the state of the world. You did not choose to create disease, poverty and mental illness. You can't control nature, and you can't control the society around you. Many schools of philosophy disagree exactly on what our moral obligations are to others. Given this disagreement, we could default to radical scepticism that all attempts to decide what the right way to [...] ---Outline:(00:11) Conscious Meaning(02:06) Ovarian lottery(03:49) The Good we can do(05:18) Creating Balance(06:13) Voluntary Simplicity(08:12) Setting Salary based on the Worlds average income(10:12) Appendix: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone --- First published: December 11th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/wd7XsSwqWCzd2uzhq/the-further-pledge-voluntary-simplicity --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa is still very much in recovery mode after a scary health scare that landed her in the emergency room just hours before her Black Friday performance at the Mall of America. According to HuffPost and AOL coverage of her own TikTok update, Siwa experienced excruciating stomach pain that got so bad she couldn't breathe, started blacking out, and couldn't even get dressed after a bath. Her mom called 911 and paramedics rushed her to the hospital where an ultrasound revealed a burst ovarian cyst bleeding into her abdomen. Doctors told her it should resolve on its own but she's not fully in the clear yet, as she later clarified in a follow-up post reported by the New Zealand Herald. She credits strong pain medication with helping her feel good enough to dance in the hospital bed, and she joked that the medical team moved unusually fast—maybe because some of them had daughters going to her show.Despite the pain, Siwa pushed through and performed at the Mall of America, showing her trademark resilience. She's been open with fans, using TikTok to explain that knowing the diagnosis brought her peace of mind even though the physical recovery is ongoing. The Mayo Clinic notes that while most ovarian cysts are harmless, a rupture can cause significant internal bleeding, especially with vigorous activity, which may be relevant given her high-energy performances.On the professional front, Siwa is staying active with live appearances. Eventbrite lists her upcoming event at Aspirations Dance Company in Lombard, Illinois on December 3, where she led a dance class to her new holiday song “Message to the World” and hosted a VIP meet and greet. This fits her pattern of blending fan engagement with performance, a strategy that's helped build her brand beyond music and TV.Socially, she's still linked with British TV personality Chris Hughes, her Celebrity Big Brother co-star, with recent coverage from AOL noting their red carpet debut together at the Dancers Against Cancer Gala of the Stars. There's no new official relationship update, but their public appearances together continue to fuel fan interest.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

If you're over 40 and have been told your ovarian reserve is low, you've likely heard things like your only option is IVF with donor eggs or your time has run out. But those statements rarely tell the full story. In today's episode, Improve Ovarian Reserve to Get Pregnant After 40, we explore what ovarian reserve actually measures, why it does not define your fertility potential, and how a functional fertility approach can support egg quality, hormone communication, and your chances of pregnancy, whether naturally or with IVF. Even after 40, your body can respond when you understand the underlying imbalances that influence ovarian function. You'll learn • What AMH, FSH, and AFC truly indicate and why they don't measure egg quality • How mitochondrial energy, nutrient levels, and antioxidants influence egg development after 40 • The role of thyroid health and why optimal TSH should be below 2.0 when trying to conceive • How gut infections, immune dysregulation, and vaginal microbiome imbalances affect ovarian reserve • Which functional tests help uncover hidden imbalances that impact egg potential, including GI MAP, DUTCH, GrowBaby, and HTMA This episode is especially for you if: • You are 40 or older and have been told your AMH is low or your FSH is high • You have experienced failed IVF cycles, early loss, or poor egg quality and want to know what else you can do • You want a functional fertility framework that looks at hormone communication, egg energy, and whole body imbalances rather than just chasing lab numbers Next Steps in Your Fertility Journey Subscribe to Get Pregnant Naturally for evidence-based guidance on functional fertility, and share this episode with anyone on their fertility journey.

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa experienced a major health scare last week that dominated entertainment headlines. On Friday, November 28th, the 22-year-old performer was rushed to the hospital just hours before a scheduled performance at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. According to multiple entertainment outlets, Siwa had been experiencing stomach discomfort for several days leading up to the incident, which she initially dismissed as menstrual cramps. However, the pain escalated dramatically on the morning of her Black Friday performance when she attempted to rest and take a bath in her hotel room. The warm water intensified her symptoms exponentially, leaving her unable to breathe and fearing she would lose consciousness. Her mother Jessalynn Siwa called 911, and paramedics transported the dancer to a nearby hospital.Medical staff initially found her vitals to be normal, but an ultrasound revealed the source of her excruciating pain: an ovarian cyst had burst and was bleeding into her stomach. Siwa shared detailed updates on TikTok describing the incident as brutal and severe, explaining that the internal bleeding was causing the intense abdominal distress. Doctors advised that the condition should resolve on its own and provided pain medication. Remarkably, within two hours, Siwa was discharged and returned to the Mall of America to complete her scheduled performance, crediting the medication with helping her push through despite not being fully recovered.The performer documented her experience transparently on social media, thanking the medical team for working quickly and expressing gratitude for fan support. She acknowledged scheduling a follow-up appointment and warned fans that she would return to the hospital immediately if the severe pain returned or if she experienced vomiting. Despite the ordeal, Siwa maintained her characteristic resilience, telling followers "we're going to keep it pushing." The incident showcased both her dedication to her fanbase and her willingness to be vulnerable about health challenges. Entertainment media widely covered the story, with fans expressing concern about her wellbeing while simultaneously praising her determination. As of early December, Siwa continues recovering and remains focused on her performance schedule.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Is fertility really “over” at 35? In this conversation, Angela sits down with double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist Dr Natalie Crawford to unpack fertility myths, ovarian aging, egg freezing, and what women can actually do to protect both their future family and long-term health. They get into when to seriously consider egg freezing, how many eggs women over 38 may really need, what ovarian reserve tests can (and can't) tell you, and why supporting your metabolic health and lowering inflammation is one of the best “longevity strategies” for your ovaries. They also talk about the emotional toll of infertility and pregnancy loss, and how to ask for (and offer) the right kind of support. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why fertility isn't “over at 35” and what really happens to egg quantity & quality When egg freezing makes sense (and why it's not a guaranteed insurance policy) Ovarian reserve basics: AMH, follicle counts and what “ovarian aging” means What to expect from an egg freezing cycle - timeline, hormones and recovery When to stop “trying naturally” and seek a fertility workup The emotional toll of infertility & loss, and how to get the right support How lifestyle, inflammation and metabolic health affect ovarian aging & long-term health Timestamps 00:00 Intro: Fertility Facts and Myths 01:57 When Should Women Start Thinking About Freezing Their Eggs? 05:57 The Role of Egg Freezing for Women Who Already Have a Child 12:11 How the Egg Freezing Process Works Step by Step 18:08 What to Expect Physically and Emotionally During Egg Freezing 21:47 Egg Freezing for Women with PCOS: Benefits and Risks 26:52 When to Seek Fertility Testing and How Long to Try Naturally 33:35 When to Move from Egg Freezing to IVF 41:26 How Age Impacts Pregnancy Success and Health Risks 46:07 The Emotional Side of Infertility and How to Find Support 52:08 Understanding and Delaying Ovarian Aging 59:00 Advice for Women on Fertility and Health Advocacy VALUABLE RESOURCES A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible:• Hormone Harmony - go to https://lvluphealth.com/ANGELA | Use the code ANGELA at checkout for an exclusive 15% off Fresh Start with Angela

If you've ever been told you're “too old,” your AMH is “too low,” your eggs are “gone,” or that donor eggs are your only option—you must listen to this episode.This is one of the most comprehensive, honest, science-based fertility conversations ever recorded.I sit down with one of the most innovative fertility specialists in the field to discuss breakthroughs that are changing possibilities for women at ANY age, including those with low ovarian reserve, recurrent loss, failed IVF cycles, or unexplained infertility.Today's guest is Dr. Zaher Merhi. Dr Merhi is the founder and the medical director of Rejuvenating Fertility Center (RFC). He is an internationally recognized fertility doctor, lecturer, editor, and grant reviewer. His training and faculty appointments included Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center, NYU School of Medicine, and University of Vermont. He was a Professor at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University and the Director of the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) Fellowship program (ACGME accredited). He is currently a Professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Maimonides Medical Center in New York. He has 3 American Board certifications in OB/GYN, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, and High-Complexity Laboratory Director (HCLD). Dr Merhi is one of the few Reproductive Immunologists in the country and is an active researcher with an interest in women older than 40 with Low Ovarian Reserve (low AMH or high FSH), Stem Cell ovarian rejuvenation, gentle stimulation IVF, natural IVF, and IVF without injectables. He was named “ONE OF THE TOP 2% SCIENTISTS IN THE WORLD.”For the first time publicly, you'll hear the truth about:✨ Environmental toxins are damaging eggs across generations✨ The rise of premature ovarian insufficiency✨ Microplastics found in the brain, ovaries & food supply✨ How inflammation drives aging, poor egg quality & failed implantation✨ Why diet absolutely impacts fertility (despite what many doctors say)✨ Cutting-edge ovarian rejuvenation options backed by published research✨ Stem-cell therapies are being used internationally to revive ovarian function✨ Why embryo testing is NOT black-and-white✨ The link between sperm DNA fragmentation & miscarriage✨ And why low AMH should NEVER be treated as an “infertility diagnosis”This conversation empowers couples with answers, hope, and real science—not fear.

Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) is more than early menopause—it's a condition that impacts the heart, bones, brain, and overall wellbeing. In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers sits down with Dr. Esra Shermadou, family medicine and obesity medicine physician, to unpack what POI really means for women's health.Dr. Shermadou shares her personal journey with POI and how it shaped her mission to help women reclaim their energy and confidence through hormone therapy, lifestyle strategies, and compassionate, root-cause care.They discuss:The difference between POI and natural menopauseKey health risks and why early diagnosis mattersHormone and non-hormonal treatment optionsFertility, emotional health, and empowermentIf you or someone you love has faced POI—or you simply want to understand women's hormones on a deeper level—this conversation is full of wisdom, hope, and practical tools to help you thrive.

Send us a textA stomach that feels “off” can be easy to brush aside—until it shouldn't be. In this episode, Cara and Missi dig into the quiet warning signs of ovarian disease, separating the everyday from the rare but dangerous ovarian pathology. You'll learn how to read the body's cues using the BEAT mnemonic (Bloating, Early satiety, Abdominal/pelvic pain, Trouble with urination or bowels), what ultrasound reports actually mean, and why most ovarian cysts are benign even as we stay alert to red flags.We walk through the physiology of the menstrual cycle—why ovulation naturally creates a cyst each month—and how that helps explain functional cysts that disappear on their own. Then we shift to the features that raise concern: septations, solid components, irregular borders, and blood flow on Doppler. We talk openly about the limits of CA125, the absence of a reliable screening test, and why surgical biopsy still anchors a definitive diagnosis.  We unpack how opportunistic salpingectomy at the time of hysterectomy or permanent sterilization can cut risk, and how combined oral contraceptives lower lifetime risk by suppressing ovulation. We also cover who needs genetic counseling—BRCA1/2, Lynch syndrome, and other familial cancer clues—and how to build smart follow-up plans that balance reassurance with action. Most ovarian findings are benign; the key is knowing when to watch and when to act. If this conversation helps you or a patient put a name to a nagging symptom, it's done its job.

Mirena also treats heavy periods for up to 5 years in women who choose intrauterine contraception. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONIf you have a pelvic or genital infection, get infections easily, or have certain cancers, don't use Mirena. Less than 1% of users get a serious pelvic infection called pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).If you have persistent pelvic or stomach pain, or excessive bleeding after placement, tell your healthcare provider (HCP). If Mirena comes out, call your HCP and avoid intercourse or use non-hormonal back-up birth control (such as condoms or spermicide). Mirena may go into or through the wall of the uterus and cause other problems.Pregnancy while using Mirena is uncommon but can be life threatening and may result in loss of pregnancy or fertility.Ovarian cysts may occur but usually disappear.Bleeding and spotting may increase in the first 3 to 6 months and remain irregular. Periods over time usually become shorter, lighter, or may stop. Mirena does not protect against HIV or STIs.Only you and your HCP can decide if Mirena is right for you. Mirena is available by prescription only.For important risk and use information about Mirena, please see Full Prescribing Information.In This Episode:00:00 Introduction05:03 Overcoming mental health and finding inner strength10:10 Kendall's women's health journey15:09 Choosing a Mirena IUD20:17 Planning for now and the future24:50 Understanding and using a Mirena IUD26:12 Kendall Toole's Advice to younger self29:26 Following passion leads to success RESOURCES: Kendall Toole InstagramKendall Toole TikTok Mirena GUEST BIOGRAPHY:KENDALL TOOLE is a lightning rod of energy, a natural-born fighter, dynamic athlete, and top fitness instructor who commands the room and empowers her community.

 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 dive into the complexities of decreased ovarian reserve and the tough decisions that come with it. What happens when only a few eggs are retrieved? When is it best to fertilize, and when might it be time to stop treatment? Our docs unpack the emotional and financial weight of multiple cycles with low yields and explain why sometimes looking at sperm health—including DNA fragmentation testing may be important. They discuss the role of growth hormone in supporting egg quality, the difficult but potentially life-changing choice of donor eggs, and strategies for dealing with dominant follicles, from luteal starts to estrogen priming. You'll also hear insights on high AMH at age 41, unexplained infertility that turned out to be diminished reserve, chemotherapy's impact on fertility, and alternative paths when IVF isn't financially possible—from IUI and intratubal insemination to fertility grants. This is a must-listen episode for anyone navigating the challenging reality of decreased ovarian reserve. This podcast was sponsored by Shady Grove Fertility. 

Conventional medicine often stops at the numbers, low AMH, high FSH for Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) and turns quickly to donor eggs or IVF. But through a functional fertility lens, we can uncover hidden factors like inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, and hormone imbalances that may support ovarian function and improve pregnancy success. In this episode of Get Pregnant Naturally, Fab Fertile founder Sarah Clark explains how functional fertility strategies can help reverse POI and improve your chances of conceiving with your own eggs. You'll also hear Amanda's story: she was told she'd never conceive naturally with an AMH of 0.08 ng/mL, yet went on to have her daughter. This episode is for you if: You've been told your only option with POI, low AMH, or high FSH is donor eggs You've experienced recurrent miscarriage or failed IVF cycles You want evidence-based strategies to improve egg quality and fertility outcomes naturally We'll cover the difference between genetic and idiopathic POI, why functional fertility shines in unexplained cases, and the top mistakes people make with a POI diagnosis. You'll leave with practical steps you can take right now to support ovarian function.

Read the full show notes and transcript. When it comes to DOR, aka Diminished Ovarian Reserve, I will forever be reminding you, your friend, your friend's mom and anyone else who will listen: “diminished” does not mean “zero”! That's why I'm so happy to have Dr. Geoffrey Sher back on the show to talk all about egg stimulation specifically for women with a diminished ovarian reserve.  Just because you may have gotten a DOR diagnosis does not mean your fertility journey ends here. In fact, there are still many ways that you can work with your doctor to give your remaining eggs the best chance at success. Like I always say: all it takes is one good egg! Here are just a few things we talked about in this amazing conversation: What you need to know about egg quality and how it declines over time What we can do to give eggs the best chance during IVF Why you might choose birth control (you read that right!) in this situation Resources: Contact Dr. Sher on his website Follow Dr. Sher on Instagram Would you like to learn more about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Story at-a-glance Most ovarian cysts are harmless and disappear naturally, but some cause severe complications like rupture or twisting the ovary, requiring emergency surgery Vegetable oils like canola and sunflower act as fake estrogens, damaging ovarian tissue and fueling cyst formation due to linoleic acid content PCOS drives recurring cysts through hormonal chaos, particularly insulin resistance and elevated estrogen that disrupts normal ovarian function and cycles Natural pain relief includes heat therapy, massage and gentle movement, while chamomile and ginger teas help reduce inflammation and balance hormones Prevention focuses on eliminating vegetable oils, addressing insulin resistance and considering natural progesterone to restore hormonal balance and stop cyst recurrence

Your ovaries age faster than any other organ—but what if you could slow that process down? In this science-meets-soul conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Melissa Cano, cellular health expert and Director of Science at Spermidine Life (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), to break down the latest research on spermidine—a natural molecule showing powerful potential in extending ovarian health, boosting fertility, and supporting graceful hormone transitions.

There are a lot misunderstandings around what the term DOR means. Often times when people first hear about DOR, they believe that that the "D" of DOR means "depleted" ovarian reserve. This is not true! To set the record straight, DOR means "decreased" ovarian reserve. The other thing that happens when the word "decreased" gets mixed up for "depleted," is that many people next assume that getting a DOR diagnosis means that they will need to use donor eggs in order to get pregnant. This is also not true! With DOR, you still have eggs, you just don't have as many eggs as you once did. In this episode, I'll be sharing more about DOR. At some point, every one with a uterus will go through it. I'll talk about when egg reserves tend to decline, what tests you can take to determine your egg reserve levels, what you can do to keep your eggs healthy, and when you might consider using donor eggs.
