Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. I'm almost 35 and currently going through IVF. I have PCOS and insulin resistance and have had four early miscarriages despite normal testing and blood work. I've also had two laparoscopic surgeries for cysts, one showing mild endometriosis, and a uterine biopsy that showed no inflammation. Given this history, how successful might IVF be for us? What transfer protocol do you recommend after Lupron and letrozole suppression for positive ReceptivaDX results—modified natural or medicated—and what factors guide that decision? Can autoimmune conditions contribute to secondary infertility? I have a four-year-old but have since experienced five miscarriages and have diminished ovarian reserve. After four cycles I've only had one embryo tested and it was aneuploid, and my doctor says autoimmune testing may be the next step if endometriosis testing is negative. In a 28-day cycle, is it concerning if a positive LH surge happens around days 15–16? And when tracking cycles, do you count day one as the first day you see bleeding even if it starts midday, or the following day? I'm 35 and planning for pregnancy. What are the most important first steps I should take now to set myself up for success?

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

Discover what it takes to raise over $3 billion in capital and revitalize more than $2 billion worth of historic skyscrapers and iconic city blocks. In this episode, Tom “The Skyscraperguy” Liravongsa, managing partner of Landmark Collection, shares the remarkable journey that took him from starting a fund with negative $10,000 on a credit card to acquiring and restoring landmark skyscrapers across major U.S. cities. Tom reveals how mastering institutional underwriting, understanding the mechanics of syndication, and thinking beyond “the zeros” allowed him to transition from trading derivatives to orchestrating massive real estate projects. He also explains why skyscrapers—assets once reserved for institutional players—are becoming accessible to new investors, how large-scale developments create powerful economies of scale, and why cities and density provide a unique form of market insulation during economic disruptions. For investors and entrepreneurs who want to think bigger about capital raising, deal structuring, and transformative real estate opportunities, this conversation delivers insights you won't hear anywhere else. 5 Key Takeaways from the EpisodeCapital Raising Is the Core of Commercial Real Estate Tom explains that at its core, commercial real estate is about syndication—raising capital, finding deals investors believe in, and executing them together. Institutional Knowledge Creates Massive Advantage By underwriting billions in real estate projects while working with European investors, Tom learned how institutional capital flows and used that knowledge to scale his own deals. Large Deals Can Reduce Risk Through Scale While skyscraper projects involve large numbers, Tom argues that economies of scale, performance bonds, and professional teams can actually mitigate risk compared to smaller projects. Skyscrapers Offer Unique Market Insulation Because they exist in dense urban centers where economic activity is concentrated, skyscraper assets can benefit from strong demand, higher rents, and greater government support during crises. Retail Investors Can Participate in Institutional Deals Through modern fundraising methods, social media reach, and flexible deal structures, Tom is opening access to skyscraper investments that were historically limited to institutional capital. About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires. Tim continues to help busy professionals earn income and build wealth through passive investing.He is also a creative marketer and promoter with incredible knowledge and experience, which he freely shares. He has lifted himself from the aftermath of war, achieving technical expertise in computers, followed by investment success in real estate, management skills, and a lofty position among real estate educators and internet marketers.Tim is an industry leader who has acquired and exited well over $50 million worth of real estate and is currently an investor in over 2700 units of multifamily apartments.Connect with TimWebsite: Capital Raising PartyFacebook: Tim Mai | Capital Raising Nation Instagram: @timmaicomTwitter: @timmaiLinkedIn: Tim MaiYouTube: Tim Mai

Originalmente utilizado nas cerimônias de coroações dos reis de Israel, o Salmo 2 enfatiza a soberania de Deus frente à rebeldia do homem. Deus já constituiu o seu Rei no monte Sião e ri de todos aqueles que creem ser possível desafiá-lo. Essa mensagem era tranquilizadora para os reis da época, mas também o é para nós, pois aponta para uma realidade muito mais sublime: o Rei que Deus constituiu é Cristo Jesus. Aquele que tem autoridade para nos quebrar como barro deixou-se ser quebrado na cruz para nos refazer como seus filhos. Aguardamos o retorno do Rei, servindo-o com temor e alegrando-nos nele com tremor, sabendo que ele detém o controle de todas as coisas e que nele podemos nos refugiar, pois é o único capaz de trazer vida. ___ #FAMILIADOSQUECREEM #SÉRIEORANDOEVIVENDOSALMOS

On today's podcast, we're joined again by James Hwang, co-founder of Stellar Housing Solutions in New Jersey, where he and his partners operate 20+ midterm rentals through a mix of ownership, co-hosting, and arbitrage. James breaks down how he's expanded his reach far beyond his own units by building a local MTR network—a WhatsApp group of New Jersey operators who share leads, referrals, and vendors. That collaboration acts like a “third OTA,” keeping units booked even in slow seasons and opening doors to new co-hosting and arbitrage deals. We dig into arbitrage in today's market—where it still works, where it doesn't, and how James structures profitable deals. He targets solid but slightly less “premium” areas near hot markets, negotiates creatively around rent vs. deposits, and positions himself as the stress-free solution for landlords. James also walks us through his landlord conversation playbook: speaking as a fellow owner, addressing pain points like non-payment and property damage, and demonstrating how midterm rentals can mean early, automated rent and better-maintained units. That credibility often leads to repeat opportunities and more doors. If you're looking to scale midterm rentals, tap into community instead of competing, or revive arbitrage with smart analysis and systems, this episode with James is a masterclass in doing MTRs the right way.     Resources: Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenant Get in touch with Envy Investment Group Connect with James on Instagram Get the deets on Stellar Housing Solutions Find out more about MTR Office Hours Listen to Episode 193 Make sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Leave us a review on Spotify Join our private Facebook Community Connect with us on Instagram

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

How do you raise over $40 million in capital and participate in more than $250 million in multifamily acquisitions while building a reputation for consistency, integrity, and results? In this episode, investor and syndicator Aaron Katz shares the real story behind his decade-plus journey in multifamily—from entering the business in 2011 and building his portfolio one relationship and one deal at a time, to navigating market cycles and positioning for the next wave of opportunity in DFW. Aaron discusses why he approaches multifamily as a “lifetime business,” how disciplined underwriting and the right partnerships helped him weather recent market headwinds, and why he believes today's environment resembles the early days of the last real estate cycle. For investors and entrepreneurs seeking practical insight into raising capital, building investor communities, and executing deals that stand the test of time, this episode delivers lessons you can apply immediately.5 Key Takeaways from the EpisodeMultifamily is a Long-Term Business Aaron entered the industry with the mindset that apartments would be his business for decades, focusing on steady growth, wealth creation, and lifestyle flexibility rather than rapid deal volume. Success is Built One Relationship at a Time His capital raising success—over $40M—was built through thousands of conversations, consistent communication, and a strong investor community developed over many years. Operations Matter More Than Ever Aaron emphasizes that being an operator first—not just a capital raiser—is critical, especially in markets where margins are tighter and execution of the business plan determines success. Discipline and Patience Protect Investors By underwriting conservatively and walking away from deals that didn't meet his criteria—even when brokers were willing to award them—Aaron preserved investor capital and positioned himself for better opportunities. Market Cycles Create Opportunity Aaron believes the current multifamily environment resembles the early stages of the post-recession cycle when he started in 2011, suggesting the coming years could present significant buying opportunities for disciplined investors. About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

This podcast is listener-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.In today's episode, we take a closer look at DEXA scans — what they measure, what the numbers actually mean, and whether getting one is worth it.These scans are becoming more common in fitness and wellness settings, providing insight into body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat, bone density, and even something called “biological age.” But how should we interpret those numbers? What can they tell us about our health — and what can't they tell us?Using my own recent scan as a starting point, we explore how body composition data can serve as a baseline for understanding our bodies, tracking changes over time, and making more informed decisions about strength training, fat loss, and bone health.In this episode, we talk about:* The difference between total-body composition scans and clinical DEXA scans used to diagnose osteopenia or osteoporosis* What body fat percentage actually measures — and why it's different from BMI* The concept of body recomposition: reducing body fat while maintaining or gaining muscle* Why visceral fat matters for metabolic and cardiovascular health* What biological age means — and why it should be interpreted cautiously* How to understand T-scores in bone density reports* Why the hip and spine are the gold-standard sites for diagnostic bone density scansAnd we close by talking about what really matters most: what we do with the information once we have it — including how strength training, nutrition, and lifestyle choices influence fat, muscle, and bone as we age.

If you've ever been told “everything looks normal” but you're still not pregnant, or if you're just starting your trying-to-conceive journey and want real answers instead of vague “we don't know,” this episode is going to feel like a warm hug and a game-changer all at once.

A University of Michigan business school graduate, Kristin's career took her through financial consulting, hedge fund management, and commercial construction before an entrepreneurial spark and three kids under one and a half during COVID led her to launch Northern Classics. In this episode, Kristin shares how she identified a gap in the children's ski apparel market: technical gear that was either purely functional or purely cute, but never both. Kristin opens up about the challenges of building a brand from scratch with no apparel background, the power of community and customer feedback, and what it's like to see her designs "in the wild" on the slopes out west. As a mom of four (twins almost 7, a 5-year-old, and a 3-year-old), Kristin brings both personal credibility and infectious joy to everything she creates.Notable Quotes:"I always say I'm selling — I am my own customer.""I try really hard to keep my kids at the forefront.

Neste episódio da Taverna do Lugar Nenhum, Gabriel Vince mergulha em uma das mais antigas narrativas da humanidade: o mito babilônico da criação presente no Enuma Elis.Quem foi Tiamat? Uma deusa criadora associada ao oceano primordial? Uma serpente marinha? Um dragão do caos? Ou todas essas coisas ao mesmo tempo?A partir das tradições sumérias e babilônicas, exploramos:A origem do cosmos através da união das águas primordiaisO conflito entre as gerações divinasA ascensão de Marduque como “Rei dos Deuses”A criação da humanidade a partir do sangue de QuinguE os paralelos do mito com outras tradições do antigo Oriente Próximo e da GréciaTambém discutimos interpretações simbólicas do mito, incluindo a ideia da cosmogonia do caos e as leituras modernas que enxergam na derrota de Tiamat um reflexo de transformações religiosas e políticas profundas no mundo antigo.Este episódio é um convite para refletir sobre como as civilizações narram o nascimento do mundo, a origem da ordem e o papel do caos na estrutura do universo.

Heute wird's historisch und sinnlos: Dominik hat da mal was ganz schönes vorbereitet und wir unterhalten uns eine Stunde lang über Reißverschlüsse. Punkt. Nein – keine Sorge – das ist noch LANGE nicht alles – wir sprechen auch über Tastaturen. Genaugenommen geht es um sinnlose Erfindungen und auch wenn es anders klingt – das ist sau-interessant UND lustig! KSS – wir öffnen nicht nur Fenster im Kopf – wir schließen sie auch wieder.

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

 “You don't have to do it alone — but you better know your partners.” Discover how Ryan Dumas pulls back the curtain on how he acquired and structured over $50M+ in commercial real estate deals while personally raising millions in capital. Ryan shares the real story behind pivoting from traditional multifamily into mobile home parks, affordable housing, and niche business acquisitions — including an insurance platform that scaled from $3M to $10.5M EBITDA through operational improvements. He discusses the importance of JV equity structures, educating investors before pitching, protecting capital during market volatility, and why transparency during difficult deals builds long-term credibility. From navigating refinancing challenges and capital calls to identifying high-income professionals like dentists as ideal investor avatars, this conversation is a grounded, tactical masterclass on raising capital, structuring deals, and building partnerships that last. 5 Key Takeaways:Capital Raising Is Relationship-Driven, Not Pitch-Driven Zoom calls, personal follow-ups, and educating investors build trust far more effectively than mass emails or pitch decks alone. Operations Drive Returns More Than Hype Scaling an insurance business from $3M to $10.5M EBITDA highlighted how disciplined operations can dramatically increase enterprise value. Pivoting Asset Classes Is Sometimes Necessary With multifamily facing headwinds, Ryan shifted focus toward affordable housing, mobile home parks, and niche businesses with stronger cash-flow profiles. Transparency During Tough Times Builds Long-Term Credibility Open communication during capital calls and challenging deals strengthened investor relationships rather than weakening them. Conservative Underwriting and Proper Leverage Matter Stress-testing refinance assumptions, understanding debt service coverage, and putting more equity down can protect deals during volatile rate environments.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

After ending a nine-year relationship, Amelia shares how staying “comfortable but stagnant” was like dragging a 250-pound anchor while still building a real estate portfolio.We discuss:How real estate investing became the tool to design an audacious, abundant lifeThe difference between being comfortable vs. stagnantHonoring your intuition in relationships, money, and investing decisionsThe power of female investor communities and support systemsTaking messy action, finding “quick wins,” and living in the solutionThis episode is for women in real estate who feel called to something bigger—but are scared to leave what's “fine.”Follow us on Instagram and share how this episode resonated with you.  Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

Marathon ist Bungies letzte Chance: Nach den Problemen der letzten Jahr müssen die Destiny- und ehemaligen Halo-Macher mit ihrem neuen Extraction-Shooter punkten - sonst dürfte Studiobesitzer Sony bald die Reißleine ziehen. Und nun die Überraschung: Beim Server Slam zu Marathon zeigt sich, dass die Enttäuschung und Kritik im Vorfeld zumindest verfrüht war: 143.000 Spieler stürzten sich in die Testphase, das ist zumindest ein Achtungserfolg. Im Talk diskutieren Paul und Felix über Marathons und Bungies Zukunftschancen. Alle Links zum GameStar Podcast und unseren Werbepartnern: https://linktr.ee/gamestarpodcast

Die Koalition aus Union und SPD zieht beim umstrittenen Heizungsgesetz die Reißleine: Die Vorgabe von 65 Prozent erneuerbaren Energien soll fallen und die festgelegten Laufzeitgrenzen für Öl- und Gasheizungen sollen aufgeweicht werden. Während die Regierung von mehr Freiheit und Bezahlbarkeit spricht, warnen Grüne und Umweltverbände vor steigenden Kosten und klimapolitischen Rückschritten.

Es ergibt wenig Sinn, Verluste immer weiter anwachsen zu lassen. Wenn ich eine Aktie im Portfolio habe, die lange gut gelaufen ist, und sie plötzlich fällt – soll ich wirklich zusehen, wie die Gewinne wieder verschwinden? Und wenn ich eine Aktie gerade erst gekauft habe und sie direkt danach ins Minus rutscht: Ist einfaches Halten dann sinnvoll? Nehmen wir Novo Nordisk als Beispiel: Über Jahre stieg die Aktie nahezu ununterbrochen, bis sie es eben nicht mehr tat. Wäre es da nicht klug gewesen, bei minus dreißig oder minus fünfzig Prozent die Reißleine zu ziehen? So denken die meisten Anleger – und das ist nachvollziehbar. Gewinne wieder abzugeben oder eine Aktie immer weiter fallen zu sehen, fühlt sich falsch an. Der Impuls dahinter ist also verständlich. Trotzdem müssen wir genauer hinschauen. Denn zwischen Emotion und Strategie liegt ein großer Unterschied. Deshalb geht es heute darum, wie man aus einer langfristigen Position richtig und planvoll aussteigt.

In this episode of the podcast, we interview investor and nurse Miranda Widmeyer about her first ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) project in California—turning a used tiny home on wheels into a fully permitted, high-cash-flow rental. Miranda shares how she intentionally bought a property with space for an ADU, used a rent-by-the-room strategy in the main house to cover her mortgage, and then found a $40,000 tiny home on Facebook Marketplace, negotiating creative seller financing to avoid overleveraging.She walks through the realities of being the first person in her city to convert a tiny home into an ADU, including months of back-and-forth with the city, the manufacturer, and engineers to satisfy code, secure plans, and work through Insignia and permitting challenges.Miranda breaks down her actual numbers—including utilities and concrete —and her target rental income, which comes in under budget and beats the 2% rule. She also discusses funding the project with a HELOC and extra hospital shifts, the power of problem-solving and not taking “no” for an answer, and how the WIIRE Community helped her lead her team and push the project across the finish line.  Resources:Get in touch with Miranda WidmeyerGet all the deets on Miranda's Scrubs2Success Community Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

“Everyone in our class is freaking out right now…”That's the text I got from a fellow last year during the Park City retreat.In this episode, I break down the state of fertility center networks in 2026, based on what I'm hearing directly from physicians, operators, and investors across the field.This is not sponsored commentary, and none of the organizations mentioned had editorial control or preview access. This is my unfiltered read on what's actually happening, and where things are headed.We cover:Why most large fertility networks are for sale (and why more consolidation is likely in 2026)How the war for REI talent is driving valuation, strategy, and cultureWhy groups of 5–10 physician-owned practices may be critical for innovation long-termWhat younger doctors are actually optimizing for (Hint: it's not just comp)How burnout, autonomy, research, and safety are becoming competitive differentiatorsThe growing importance of embryology, lab automation, and patient safety infrastructureDon't miss the Inside Reproductive Health article diving even deeper into the state of fertility networks in 2026, which can be found here.

In today's episode, we talk about why bone density begins to decline and what actually builds strong, resilient bones — at every age and every stage of life, including perimenopause and postmenopause.Now, before you think, “Well, that's not me — I'm in my 20s… my 30s… my 40s,” please give this episode a listen, because the strength of your bones at 60 is determined by what you do at 25.This is Part 1, focused on nutrition and hormones — and it lays the groundwork for what comes next: Part 2, where we'll talk about mechanical stress, weight-bearing exercise, resistance training, balance work — and why movement is non-negotiable for long-term bone health.In this episode, we explore:* When we reach peak bone mass and why that matters* Why bone loss accelerates earlier than many women expect* What perimenopause is (and why it matters for bone remodeling)* How bone remodeling works — and the roles of osteoclasts and osteoblasts* Why estrogen is central to bone density in women* How to know where you stand: DEXA scans, blood work, and risk factors* Why “normal” blood calcium doesn't tell you what you think it tells you* The nutrition foundation for strong bones * What can work against bone health over time (and what to watch for)

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. 1. I'm wondering how alcohol affects male and female fertility, and whether cutting back or abstaining can improve our chances with IVF or natural conception. 2. My wife has low estrogen, and we're trying to conceive. What should we know before her upcoming doctor's appointment so we can ask better questions? 3. We've been trying for 3 years with Clomid and no success. Our doctor suggested a sperm analysis, but we only have access to a CVS kit — are those reliable? 4. I take CoQ10 while trying to conceive — should I take it all month, and do I stop during the two-week wait since it's not recommended in pregnancy? 5. My partner has low motility.
