Most health issues don't appear overnight. Long before a diagnosis is made, the body often provides subtle clues that something needs closer attention. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with double board-certified fertility physician Dr. Natalie Crawford about her new book, The Fertility Formula, and why fertility and hormone health can reveal far more about your health than many people realize. We discuss: Why the menstrual cycle may be one of the clearest indicators of overall health How sleep, stress, and insulin resistance may be affecting your hormones The overlooked symptoms that may signal deeper dysfunction What many women get wrong about PCOS and hormone health Practical strategies to support fertility, reduce inflammation, and improve long-term health Health challenges don't begin when symptoms become impossible to ignore. They often start years earlier. Being able to recognize those signals is one of the most effective ways to take a proactive approach to your health. Looking for a place to start? My 10-Day Detox is designed to help reduce inflammation, reset your metabolism, and build a stronger foundation for long-term health.

In this episode, Renato explores endometriosis and adenomyosis, explaining what these conditions are, why they often go undiagnosed for years despite affecting millions of women worldwide, and how advances in MRI and specialized ultrasound are transforming diagnosis beyond traditional surgical laparoscopy. He discusses the decision-making process behind hormonal therapy versus surgery, how treatment strategies change when fertility preservation is a priority, and where IVF fits into the care pathway for women with endometriosis, adenomyosis, or age-related fertility decline. Renato also examines the profound effects of female age on egg quality and quantity, including the accelerating rise in chromosomal abnormalities after age 35, highlights common mistakes in both surgical and fertility management, and shares promising developments on the horizon for treating these conditions and preserving fertility.

As colorectal cancer rates rise among younger adults, surgeons are increasingly caring for patients with rectal cancer who are pregnant or hoping to preserve future fertility. With more individuals delaying childbearing, balancing effective cancer treatment with fertility preservation and maternal–fetal safety has become an important clinical challenge. This timely topic was recently highlighted by Dr. Sharon Suwanabol during a presentation at the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons annual meeting 2026. In this episode, we explore the intersection of rectal cancer, fertility, and pregnancy through a multidisciplinary, case-based discussion. We review how surgery, chemotherapy, and pelvic radiation can affect fertility and sexual function in both men and women, and why early counseling and referral to reproductive endocrinology specialists are essential. The discussion also emphasizes that evaluation and treatment during pregnancy can often be performed safely, with care individualized based on tumor stage, gestational age, and the patient's goals and values. Hosts and discussants · Dr. Betelhem Yohannes, General surgery resident at the University of Washington · Dr. Griffen Allen, General surgery resident at the University of Washington · Dr. Raga Siddharthan, Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Section of Colorectal Surgery at the University of Washington · Dr. Stacey Cohen, Professor in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Washington and a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, specializing in colorectal and other GI cancers. Learning objectives · Describe the impact of rectal cancer surgery on fertility, sexual function, and future childbearing potential. · Review the effects of chemotherapy and pelvic radiation on reproductive health and fertility preservation. · Discuss available fertility preservation strategies and the importance of early pre-treatment counseling and referral. · Recognize the diagnostic challenges of rectal cancer during pregnancy, including overlapping gastrointestinal symptoms. · Review appropriate staging and workup considerations for suspected rectal cancer in pregnant patients. · Discuss multidisciplinary management strategies for rectal cancer during pregnancy, including individualized treatment sequencing. · Examine ethical and patient-centered considerations when balancing maternal cancer treatment and fetal outcomes.

On this episode, we're talking about something that affects millions of fertility patients—but that almost nobody talks about until the bill shows up: reproductive tissue storage.If you have embryos, eggs, or sperm in storage, you know the drill. Every year, another invoice arrives. Maybe it's $600. Maybe it's $800. Maybe it's over $1,000. Most people just pay it because they assume that's the cost. But what if it isn't? Ali's guest today is Charlie Boyer, CEO and Co-Founder of Generations CryoVault, and he's on a mission to shake up an industry that he believes has gotten way too comfortable charging fertility patients more and more for storage. Charlie's background is actually in financial services and cord blood storage, but after taking a closer look at reproductive tissue storage, he started asking some uncomfortable questions: Why are prices so high? Why don't patients know they have options? And why are so many clinics owned by private equity firms without patients even realizing it? In this conversation, Ali and Charlie talk about transparency, private equity, patient choice, and Generation CryoVault's new Pricing Promise, which aims to dramatically lower the cost of long-term embryo, egg, and sperm storage. They also discuss whoownsyourcare.org, how to find out who actually stores your tissue, and what questions every fertility patient should be asking their clinic. Whether you have embryos in storage right now, you're considering fertility treatment, or you're just curious about where all those fertility dollars are going, this is a fascinating conversation about an often-overlooked part of the family-building journey.For more info, go to https://gencryo.com/IG: @generationscryovaultEPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.

Roe v. Wade was never enough. Reproductive justice advocates have been saying that for decades. So why did so much of the reproductive rights movement organize itself around protecting Roe anyway? In this solo episode, Imani Gandy explores how legal arguments became the center of the fight for abortion rights, what got lost in the process, and why public health researchers and reproductive justice advocates were often telling a different story. From Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' anti-abortion roadmap in Box v. Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky to the public health findings of the Turnaway Study, this episode asks what happens when a movement builds itself around a court decision—and what is left when that decision is gone.

In episode #443 of The Hormone Puzzle Podcast, our guest, Dr. Maribelle Verdiales, talks about Hormonal Changes After 40 and Fertility. More about Dr. Maribelle Verdiales: Dr. Verdiales was born in Puerto Rico, where she completed her medical degree in 2001. She relocated to New York City, where she completed a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Reproductive endocrinology, minimally invasive surgery and pelvic reconstructive procedures became her main points of interest. In 2009, Dr. Verdiales relocated to Georgia with her family to start a private practice. As her practice evolved, she sought a more holistic approach to healthcare for her patients. In 2017 she completed a doctor of naturopathy degree and was able to expand her practice even further by adding new modalities to achieve wellbeing. Today, she is a pioneer in the areas of regenerative and anti-aging medicine. In 2023, she incorporated stem cell and other cell therapies to her toolbox. "The worst question is the one that is not asked", she says frequently. She continues to seek solutions to the challenges faced by her patients, and aims at helping them achieve their maximum potential through a tailored patient specific approach.

Project 2025 began not as a campaign slogan, but as a 900‑plus page manual quietly assembled by the conservative Heritage Foundation and allied groups, titled Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise. According to the Heritage Foundation's own description, it is meant to offer the next conservative president a ready‑to‑use blueprint for governing from day one. Former Trump officials helped draft it, and Heritage president Kevin Roberts has called it “a governing agenda and the personnel to carry it out.” At its core, Project 2025 is about reshaping the federal government itself. The plan urges a future administration to revive and expand “Schedule F,” a Trump‑era job classification that would let the president reclassify thousands of career civil servants as political appointees. Brookings Institution analysts note that this would make it far easier to fire existing staff and replace them with ideological loyalists, dramatically increasing White House control over agencies that have traditionally been more independent. The scope is sweeping. On education, Brookings reports that Project 2025 proposes dismantling the U.S. Department of Education, phasing out Title I funding for low‑income schools, and eliminating the Head Start program that serves children in poverty. It calls for rolling back federal civil‑rights protections for LGBTQ+ students and weakening enforcement of Title IX. Supporters frame this as restoring “parental rights” and shrinking “woke bureaucracy.” Critics warn it would leave vulnerable students with fewer protections and widen inequality. Other chapters reach deeply into social policy. The American Civil Liberties Union explains that Project 2025 recommends ending birthright citizenship, expanding mass deportations, and sharply limiting asylum, effectively remaking the immigration system in a more punitive direction. The Center for American Progress points to proposals to raise the Social Security retirement age to 69 and curb union power, including weakening the National Labor Relations Board and banning public‑sector unions, moves that labor advocates say would undercut working‑class economic security. Reproductive rights are another central front. Reproductive Freedom for All summarizes Project 2025 provisions that would restrict access to contraception and emergency contraception, block abortion medication nationwide, and even describe in‑vitro fertilization as something that should become “ethically unthinkable.” The ACLU argues these ideas would amount to a nationwide rollback of reproductive freedom driven by a specific religious vision of family life. Supporters of Project 2025 argue that all of this is needed to “rescue the country from the grip of the administrative state,” in the words of Heritage's introduction. Opponents, including the Stop Project 2025 Task Force in Congress, counter that it is “a manual on how to turn American democracy into a conservative, authoritarian nation” by concentrating power in the presidency and weakening checks and balances. In the months ahead, listeners can expect more concrete tests: confirmation battles over key appointees, court fights over Schedule F and agency authority, and election campaigns where candidates are pressed to say how closely they endorse the blueprint.

Joined by special guest Dr. Lee Jones from Boehringer Ingelheim, this episode focuses on effective heifer development as a foundation for long-term herd success, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right genetics and defining clear production goals. This conversation explores how early-life management—including colostrum intake, vaccination programs, and nutrition—plays a critical role in building immunity and supporting growth. They highlight key health risks such as bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) and stress the value of customized herd health plans developed with a veterinarian. Reproductive efficiency is another major theme, with strategies to ensure heifers reach puberty on time, breed early, and maintain long-term productivity. The group also evaluates whether heifers should calve at 24 or 30 months, weighing economic and logistical trade-offs. Overall, the conversation underscores that thoughtful planning and consistent management are essential to producing productive, profitable cows.

Today we are talking with Alexia Leachman and her call to classify tokophobia and MANY other reproductive experiences (like the trauma and anxiety that comes from baby loss) under what she calls “Reproductive Anxiety Disorder.” If your anxiety after TFMR has been brushed off as "yeah a lot of folks feel that" but you KNOW there is more to your story, listen in.Alexia Leachman is the author of Fearless Birthing, founder of Head Trash. The Head Trash book and website and method helped her clear her tokophobia - which is the visceral, unexplainable reaction or fear of pregnancy and birth.Her links for more info:https://tik-tokophobia.com/podcast/https://fearless-birthing.com/white-paper/Tokophobia = extreme fear of birthRAD = Reproductive Anxiety Disorder...And in this episode we invite you to join us in this space, just for TFMR parents:THE TFMR SUPPORT SANCTUARYIf you're carrying the weight of your TFMR alone... you don't have to anymore.The TFMR Support Sanctuary: a monthly community for parents who want ways to release the shame, guilt, and despair of this loss and feel sure and seen in their motherhood, their parenthood, and the love they have for their baby.
In Episode 120, we explore a topic that is incredibly common, but rarely talked about at work: reproductive loss.We're joined by Dr. Katrina Brownell, Assistant Professor of Management at Virginia Tech, who uses an autoethnographic approach to examine her own experiences with pregnancy loss and what happens when organizations lack the language, policies, and support to acknowledge it.Reproductive loss—including miscarriage, stillbirth, and other forms of pregnancy loss—affects a significant number of people. Yet in many workplaces, silence is the default response. We talk about how silence at work doesn't mean nothing is happening. It often means employees are carrying more than we can see.This episode challenges organizations to rethink how they approach grief, privacy, and support, and whether current workplace norms are truly serving employees in their most difficult moments.You can find Dr. Brownell here: https://management.pamplin.vt.edu/faculty/directory/brownell-katrina.htmlYou can find her paper here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/gwao.70158 This is a public episode.

Send us Fan MailPCOS has officially been renamed PMOS, or Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome — but does the new name actually change the way patients are diagnosed and treated?In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols explains why polycystic ovary syndrome was always a misleading name, how PCOS got its name from the historic Stein-Leventhal description, and why the “cysts” in PCOS are usually follicles rather than true ovarian cysts. He breaks down why the new name, PMOS, better reflects the real condition: a lifelong endocrine and metabolic disorder involving insulin resistance, androgen excess, ovulatory dysfunction, diabetes risk, cholesterol, blood pressure, endometrial cancer risk, sleep apnea, fertility, and long-term health.Dr. Amols also discusses whether this name change is a true medical breakthrough or simply a rebranding of PCOS. While the diagnostic criteria have not dramatically changed, the hope is that the new name will push the medical community to stop treating PCOS as only a fertility problem and start managing it as a full-body metabolic disorder.If you have PCOS, PMOS, irregular periods, insulin resistance, elevated testosterone, acne, hirsutism, difficulty losing weight, or fertility concerns, this episode explains what the name change means — and what better care should actually look like.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

In episode #440 of The Hormone Puzzle Podcast, our guest, Lindsay Chu, talks about The Hidden Factors That Shape Egg Quality and Embryo Development. More about Lindsay Chu: Lindsay Chu is an Embryologist, Fertility Optimization Coach, and Reproductive health strategist who blends clinical science with whole body wellness to help individuals and couples finally understand what their fertility is telling them. She began her career at Walt Disney Studios as a personal trainer, group fitness director, and nutritionist before earning her Master's in Reproductive Clinical Science and transitioning fully into reproductive health. Lindsay has worked inside some of the most respected fertility centers in the country, including CCRM and Kindbody, across their embryology, andrology, and endocrinology laboratories. This experience gave her a front row understanding of what truly influences egg quality, sperm health, embryo development, and implantation success. After seeing how many patients felt confused, dismissed, and unsupported between appointments, Lindsay founded OVAHaul. Her goal was to create a science based, compassionate space where people could access clear guidance on the modifiable factors that impact fertility. OVAHaul was built to close the gap between clinical treatment and whole body optimization and to give patients the understanding, structure, and strategy they often never receive in traditional care. Today, Lindsay brings her clinical perspective and coaching experience together to help women and couples strengthen the factors that matter most. She focuses on inflammation, metabolic health, environmental exposures, immune triggers, stress physiology, and mitochondrial function. Her approach empowers those who feel overwhelmed or unheard and gives them clarity, a personalized plan, and renewed confidence as they prepare for conception, IUI, or IVF. Thank you for listening!

Next, Hawk calls for expanding the Supreme Court by four seats, drawing nominees from federal judges who held the line against the Trump administration, including Judge Boasberg. Ketanji Brown Jackson gets the nod for Chief Justice. Puerto Rico and Washington DC become states, adding four new senators and giving millions of Americans real representation for the first time. Roe v. Wade gets codified into law nationwide. And critically, Hawk argues Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries must not lead the Senate or House, citing their stated loyalties to foreign interests over their own base. All four items fit on one piece of paper. Voting rights. Court reform. Statehood. Reproductive rights. That's the plan.

Dr. Todd Bilby leads the U.S. dairy technical services team at Merck Animal Health. His areas of expertise includes dairy reproduction, cow comfort and transition management, all grounded in his university research and extension background. In this episode of DairyVoice, host Connie Kuber of Sealpro Silage Barrier Films talks with Dr. Bilby about the evolution of dairy reproduction over the years. Dr. Bilby discusses Targeted Reproductive Management (TRM), which is based on the idea that when a producer uses monitoring technology, they can take advantage of those cows that show a strong natural heat. He explains how dairy producers can utilize both the advantages of monitoring technology and the great results they can achieve with synchronization.
Better Edge : A Northwestern Medicine podcast for physicians
In this episode of Better Edge, Elnur Babayev, MD, MS, physician scientist and reproductive endocrinologist, discusses a complex case involving diminished ovarian reserve, advanced reproductive age and complications following intra ovarian platelet rich plasma (PRP). Using this case as a lens, he examines the evidence gaps, safety concerns and opportunity costs associated with commercially marketed, unproven fertility interventions. The conversation highlights common misconceptions about ovarian “rejuvenation,” the limitations of ovarian reserve testing, and practical guidance for counseling, referral, and informed consent in caring for patients navigating reproductive aging.
In this episode of The Mindful Womb Podcast, I'm joined by Chandler Cook Estevez, LICSW, for a conversation about one of the most overlooked truths of reproductive health: you were never meant to carry these journeys alone. Together, we explore why fertility struggles, miscarriage, pregnancy after loss, endometriosis, postpartum recovery, and other reproductive experiences can feel so uniquely isolating — even when you are surrounded by people who love you.We talk about the “private struggle” problem that so many people find themselves caught in, where pain gets hidden behind silence, and silence creates even more isolation. We also explore the deeper emotional layers that reproductive health journeys can touch — body trust, self-worth, grief, control, hope, partnership, and identity — and why these experiences can feel so much bigger than what is visible from the outside.In this episode, we cover:why reproductive health journeys can feel deeply lonely, even when you're not physically alonehow secrecy and stigma can make pain feel heavierwhy “should” language so often turns into shame languagehow isolation affects the nervous systemwhy asking for help can feel so difficult when you're already overwhelmedsimple, specific ways to ask for support more clearlywhat kinds of support often miss the markand how to begin building a village that actually feels sustaining.This episode is such an important reminder that the goal is not to become tougher or less affected by what you're going through.The goal is to become more supported.If you are navigating fertility challenges, loss, reproductive uncertainty, pregnancy stress, postpartum overwhelm, or simply a season that feels heavier than people around you realize, I hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone.Resources MentionedPostpartum Support International: www.postpartum.net/ If you'd like to learn more about Chandler Cook Estevez's work: www.inclusivepathwaystherapy.com/SAYFTEE Support Groups for Queer Parents: www.sayftee.com/support-groupsGet the free Massachusetts Pregnancy Guide: www.clearlightbirth.com/maguideLearn more about A Path to a Powerful Birth: www.clearlightbirth.com/classes***If these topics light you up, please rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you're listening.After you review the show - snap a pic and upload it here - and I'll send you 70 printable affirmation cards as a thank you.Your feedback helps this podcast grow, and I am so grateful for your support!

Indiana was the first state to sign, pass, and enforce an abortion ban after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization Supreme Court decision, which went into effect in 2023 (Missouri saw immediate enforcement via a trigger ban). Now, almost everyone must leave the state to access an abortion. Forest Beely, Program Director for All Options, which runs Indiana's singular abortion fund, sits down to talk with us about Indiana's current sexual and reproductive health and rights landscape.Reproductive healthcare and abortion in Indiana face an uphill battle. Title X clinics in the state of Indiana face increased limitations on what information they can provide, but they are there to see patients, nonetheless. The state has a Planned Parenthood affiliate, but two centers in Indianapolis are currently closing due to federal Medicaid cuts. Crisis pregnancy centers, (CPCs) or fake clinics, are extremely common in Indiana and across the U.S. Ultrasounds are performed by non-medical personnel, they are not bound by HIPPA, and abortion is often not offered as an option for care. Abortion funds need your support to continue providing on-the-ground services and resources to those seeking an abortion and to steer clear of harmful CPCs.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Nicky Oothuizen, Reproductive Specialist and District Sales Manager for ABS Global, and Dr. Lee Jones, Cattle Professional Services Veterinarian for Boehringer Ingelheim. Heifer retention and reproductive longevity are increasingly top-of-mind for beef producers; veterinarians play a central role in shaping development programs that set heifers up for long-term success. This episode will explore how early-life management decisions, disease prevention and parasite control influence reproductive timelines, calving distribution and lifetime herd performance. Our guests discuss important factors to evaluate to ensure heifers are ready for the first breeding season. This can include an adequate body weight and body condition score, appropriate vaccination programs, managing parasites with a sustainable parasite management program, and ensuring heifers are cycling prior to the first breeding season. Delayed puberty and low reproductive tract scores can result in later breeding and first calving which will put heifers behind for future breeding seasons. It is not only important that retained heifers get pregnant, but that they conceive at the start of the breeding season to allow for growth during the first lactation cycle and success for the second breeding season. Preventing reproductive diseases is an important part of a reproduction program. Veterinarians should discuss biosecurity, especially if purchasing pregnant heifers, and also review the vaccine program to determine where a modified live or a killed virus vaccine should be incorporated.

What happens when a woman is diagnosed with a rare, estrogen-sensitive lung disease at 28, in her first week of residency, with no roadmap for whether she can safely have children? Anesthesiologist Lyndsay Hoy shares her experience navigating family planning after being diagnosed with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare disease that predominantly affects women of childbearing age. Her episode is based on her KevinMD article, "Reproductive care for rare diseases: the missing playbook," Even with a medical degree, institutional access, and a physician partner, Hoy found the answers incomplete, and she knows most women facing similar diagnoses have far less support. You will hear why rare disease patients so often become their own case managers, bridging pulmonology, reproductive endocrinology, and genetics with no coordinated system guiding them. Hoy draws on the oncofertility model built around hormone-sensitive breast cancer as proof that structured reproductive counseling can be developed even under uncertainty. She outlines what a minimum viable playbook for rare disease reproductive care should include and the work already underway at the LAM Foundation. If you care about closing the gaps in women's health care, this conversation will change how you see the problem. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Cervical cancer often goes undetected simply because the patient had never been screened before. Keely Ulmer, M.D., Gynecologic Oncologist at Monument Health's Cancer Care Institute is aiming to change that, especially for rural and native people. Dr. Ulmer joins Mark Houston to talk about what kinds of cancer are most common for women and how she's working towards improving access to care. Increasing HPV vaccination rates and removing systemic barriers that prevent access reduce cancer deaths dramatically. With these goals in mind, Dr. Ulmer joined the Walking Forward program which aims to help rural get people screened for cancers, especially cervical cancer. Hosted on Acast.

From a man named Porky Bicker stockpiling 70 tires for three years to fake a volcanic eruption in Alaska, to a pair of pranksters who stomped around Clearwater, Florida in giant lead penguin feet for a decade, to Saskatoon radio hosts who convinced an entire province (and a sitting member of Parliament) that Canada was switching to "metric time" — this is a masterclass in long-form mischief. The hosts close with a naturally occurring iceberg off the coast of Dildo, Newfoundland that defies all earthly explanation, before pivoting — somehow — to a serious reflection on Easter weekend, public accountability, and the fragility of moral character under the spotlight. Hosts Dr. Tim Hindmarsh & Dr. May Hindmarsh – Husband-and-wife physician duo, hosts of DocTales with Cocktails, broadcasting from their newly Florida-tized studio. What We Covered The DocTales episode 13 lunar prank — how the hosts convinced longtime friends they'd been chosen for a NASA mission, complete with the now-infamous "Personal, Reproductive and Intimacy Capsule" (PRIC) — and why people were still asking about the moon launch a year later Why the Artemis launch on April 1st may itself be the greatest prank of the modern era Porky Bicker, Sitka, Alaska, 1974 — the three-year tire-hoarding operation that faked an eruption of Mount Edgecumbe and won the Ingenuity & Patience Award Clearwater, Florida, 1948–1958 — the giant penguin feet hoax, a 10-year prank involving lead footprints, a fooled cryptozoologist, and a confession that didn't come until 1988 Saskatoon, 1975 — the Wally and Den Show's "metric time" prank: 10-hour days, 100-second hours, the fictional Dutch physicist Larmen Kohler, panicked watch owners, and a member of Parliament who stood up and confronted Pierre Trudeau on the floor of the House of Commons A long detour into UFOs, alien donations vs. crashes, the Trinity Site theory, and whether the real cover-up is alien tech or human tech we never released Kate McKinnon's SNL alien abduction sketch (a public service mention) Dildo, Newfoundland and the Phallic Iceberg — Ken Perry's drone footage of a 30-foot anatomically suggestive iceberg, and yes, the town really is called Dildo The "thread of truth" theory of pranks — and why the same principle explains how psyops, social media campaigns, and accusation-without-evidence work A serious turn: Erika Kirk, public grief, and how visibility creates targets even when the criticism is despicable The Billy Graham coalition meeting of the late 1940s — pastors sitting down to identify their failure modes (money, marriages, message drift) and building guardrails that held for 70+ years Spiritual humility, brokenness, and why "I come as I am" matters — especially during Easter weekend Memorable Moments Tim's instant categorization: Porky Bicker wins Ingenuity & Patience, the Clearwater penguin guys win Longevity, and the Saskatoon radio guys win Cultural Damage May trying to imagine how anyone in 1974 stored 70 tires (answer: "It's Alaska, it's probably in his front yard") The metric time bit — a real MP standing up in Parliament and pointing at Pierre Trudeau: "Mr. Trudeau, you've gone too far. We're not doing metric time." "In Dildo, there's no D batteries available. Those would be triple As."

Reproductive technology is a modern miracle. It's made it possible for millions of people to become parents who might otherwise not have been able to. But growing demand has spawned a multibillion-dollar industry that's largely unregulated in the U.S. In our first episode looking at the wild west of the fertility industry, Ryan Knutson speaks with a three-time surrogate who ended up in a big legal battle. Nia Trent-Wilson was left with hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical debt after a family didn't pay up after delivery. WSJ's Katherine Long reports on how the industry fosters a dramatic power imbalance between surrogates and intended parents.
