If you and your spouse are struggling with infertility, you know how difficult of a cross it can be. The pain can be overbearing, and it can feel like a bad dream that won't end. You might wonder why God allows this cross and where to go from here. John Morales speaks with Dr. Joseph and Dr. Marie Meaney about this deeply personal topic. The couple shares their own journey, highlighting the shock and cross they faced when discovering they couldn't conceive naturally. Their story underscores the emotional impact and existential questions that arise when parenthood doesn't unfold as expected. Dr. Marie, drawing from her experience and her book "When Expecting Doesn't Happen: Turning Infertility into a Journey of Hope," reflects on the emotional turmoil they went through. She candidly discusses the lack of resources during their own struggle. Her passion to help others navigate this often-overlooked territory shines through as she emphasizes that the infertility journey, though intensely challenging, can lead to renewal and growth. Dr. Joseph encourages listeners to understand that infertility is a medical challenge and not a form of divine punishment. Instead, he highlights that it can become an opportunity for spiritual renewal, deepening one's faith and trust in God's plan. The Meaney couple stresses the importance of unity between spouses during this time, offering insights into how they coped with differing responses and encouraged open communication. The conversation turns to the Catholic Church's perspective on infertility treatments, particularly in vitro fertilization (IVF). Dr. Joseph explains the Church's stance, noting that IVF, which replaces the marital act and creates embryos outside the womb, is ethically problematic due to its disregard for the dignity of human life and its consequences on individuals and relationships. He contrasts this with alternative approaches like the Creighton method and treatments offered by the Pope Paul VI Institute, emphasizing their success rates and alignment with Catholic principles.

In today's episode we are talking about Restorative Reproductive Medicine, and how using this methodology helps to diagnose and treat women's health issues and infertility. Dr. Naomi Whittaker is a fertility surgeon focused on women's restorative reproductive medicine, compassionate healthcare, and education. She is a board-certified OBGYN and a fellowship trained surgeon who specializes in the Creighton Model FertilityCare System and NaProTechnology, which works cooperatively with a woman's body to treat the underlying cause of gynecologic issues and infertility, such as endometriosis and PCOS. Dr. Whittaker helps women improve their gynecologic health, and avoid/achieve pregnancy in accordance with their natural fertility using the latest research, medicine, and surgery. Dr. Whittaker earned her medical degree at Creighton University School of Medicine and completed her residency in OB/GYN at OSF Hospital in Peoria, IL. She then completed the Saint John Paul II Fellowship in Medical and Surgical NaProTechnology at the Pope Paul VI Institute in Omaha, Nebraska. She is currently practicing in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

How do you advise we teach our children the solid and clear truth about same sex attraction with mercy? How do I heal from my husband's pornography addiction? Is it immoral for someone to take birth control as hormone therapy if she is naturally infertile? Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II's beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.

Patron Question: I'm one of the lucky people that attended the Theology of the Body 1 course in Madrid. It was both a blessing and a dream came true being there with you. I have a work coleague with same sex attraction, who has become a father through a surrogate pregnancy. Being honest, I don't feel comfortable having him and his child visiting with my children, as I find his way of life wrong and can confuse my kids, but at the same time, I also think this is not merciful. He and his child are dearly loved by God. The children are not guilty of the sins of their parents. How do you advise we teach our children solid and clear truth with mercy so they can learn to deal with these people. Question 2: I've been looking for resources to recover from the porn addiction of my husband. I found good psychological resources that helped a little but I'm in need of something more. I have trauma because of my husband's acting out and it brings a lot of trouble into the relationship because my husband is unable to help me and support me. The psychological resources have a lot of ''focus on you first'' kind of approach. Boundaries, self-care, expectations of what a betraying husband should do to repair the damage done etc... As time goes by I feel more and more that I will need a ''sacrificial love'' kind of approach but it is not taught anywhere. I'm a little afraid of the future. I feel that I can't trust him and never will. I want communion with him. I want the marriage that God wants for us but I'm not sure that my husband thinks this deep. Aside from focusing on me and taking care of me, what should I do to heal, or at least be able to give myself the most I can even if my hurt is never healed? Qestion 3: Hi Christopher and Wendy! Thank you for your diligent work applying the Theology of the Body to Christian life. It has been such a blessing to me! My sister has a genetic disorder called Turner's Syndrome. It means that she's missing the full genetic material for her second sex chromosome. Because she was born with this disease, she is naturally infertile and will never have biological children. As a part of her treatment, she has begun hormone therapy using birth control. Her doctors say this treatment is necessary, otherwise she could have more serious health problems from not having a menstrual cycle each month. Here are my questions: Since she is already infertile and is not intentionally intervening with her fertility, is there a moral wrong with her being on birth control as a hormone treatment? I have talked many times with my mother about church teachings on contraception and my personal skepticism of the effectiveness of this sort of treatment. Do you know of any resources I could share with my mother and sister on alternative hormone treatments? Submit your question at AskChristopherWest.com (http://www.askchristopherwest.com).

Everytime I meet a guy, I can't help wondering if he's "the one." What's wrong with me? If a woman takes the pill for health reasons, is it immoral? Can you shed some light on grieving through the lens of Theology of the Boday Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II's beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body. Want to support the Theology of the Body Institute and have a better chance of us answering your question? Join our Patron Community (https://tobpatron.com)! Patron Question: Dear Christopher and Wendy, I started praying about my future and asking God what he wants for my life. I feel like I'm called to marriage. The thing is, since realising that marriage is my vocation, I'm incapable of seeing members of the other sex primarily as a beautiful human being made in the image of God. When I meet a guy I think, “God, is this him?” I feel like I should be able to control my thoughts better. What should I do? Question 2: Many doctors prescribe the birth control pill to women as a treatment for irregular periods, hormone imbalance, and acne. If a woman takes these pills as prescribed for health reasons, is it a sin? Would it depend whether she is a single woman or a married woman? Qestion 3: My grandfather recently passed away and the grieving process has been hard for all of us, especially for my grandmother who has been married to him for over 60 years. I know from the Theology of the Body that death is a rupture between body and soul, but that we have hope in the resurrection of the body. There's been conversation among the members of the family that visiting the grave doesn't make sense because he's not “really there,” he's in heaven. After listening to you recently I'm thinking it would be proper to mourn his body at the grave because the body is not just a shell that held his soul. Can you shed some light on the proper understanding and response to grieving and feeling our loved one's presence during this time of unnatural separation in the light of Theology of the Body?

Regular medicine is failing women.   For many health issues from irregular periods to acne to PCOS, doctors pass out oral contraception (oral contraceptives) like M&M’s. The “pill” is good at stopping symptoms. But they do not address the “root cause” of what initiated the symptoms. And they can have downstream adverse effects as they are made up of endocrine disrupting synthetic hormones.     Birth control pills (oral contraception) contains synthetic hormones. These synthetic hormones can damage our own home-made hormones. The pill often contains synthetic estrogens (ethinyl estradiol) and synthetic progesterone’s (progestins).  All have been found to have endocrine disrupting actions.   For example, it’s clearly been shown that women on oral contraceptives have more tendency to experience anxiety, poor partner choices, more divorce, migraines, and even inflammatory bowel disease in women with genetic glitches. Much of this occurs from the endocrine disrupting action of these endocrine disruptors, or by their blockage of healthy hormone protection in various tissues, like your precious gut wall.   The driving answer becomes, what are safe alternatives?   This show discuses new ways for women to know their bodies and fertility. This knowledge can be used to enhance fertility and also to master drug-free, safe contraception.   Dr. Susan Caldwell is a rare bird of a physician. She is double-board certified in internal medicine (the thinkers of medicine) and pediatrics (the heart of medicine). She is smart plus heart.   Dr. Caldwell got inspired by the work of  Thomas W. Hilgers, MD. This works comes out of the Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction and the National Center for Women's Health in Omaha, Nebraska.   Dr. Caldwell, to add this work to her practice, became a Certified Naprotechnology Medical Consultant. This form of consulting helps get to the “root” of health issues, like progesterone insufficiency may be causing your irregular bleeding or leaky gut in PCOS patients.   Naprotechnology also give answers for safe and natural birth control.   This dynamic but heart-felt conversation will help many women on their journey to self-awareness, natural birth control, and to ways to decrease adverse side effects of the pill, should you need to stay on it.     Helpful links:   Caldwell’s website where she also blogs: drsusancaldwell.com.     Natural womanhood blog - a great source of information for women to learn the benefits of charting and risks of birth control.
