Reproductive health is often discussed in terms of our physical bodies, but what about our mental and emotional well-being across the reproductive lifespan? In today’s session, I’m joined by Dr. MiMi Sanders, a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in reproductive psychiatry, to help us better understand the unique mental health needs that can show up during menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, and menopause.

Nearly half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned. Physically preparing for or preventing pregnancy is a central part of family planning, but what that looks like varies widely from person to person. In the physical domain of family planning, Kirtly Jones, MD, and Katie Ward, PhD, open the seven-episode series by breaking down what "family planning" truly means. They explore the physical health factors that influence fertility, the medical considerations for preparing the body for pregnancy, and the full spectrum of contraceptive methods designed to prevent it. Reproductive needs shift across different phases of life; every individual's reproductive life plan is unique, and people can begin shaping a plan that reflects their goals, values, and physical health.

Many women are taught to view their periods as a nuisance—until midlife brings questions about hormones, bone health, and long-term wellbeing. What if losing your menstrual cycle is more than an inconvenience, and could hold keys to understanding your body's bigger story? Explore how understanding your period and hormones can help you make empowered choices for your health in midlife, with trusted insights from hormone health advocate Dani Sheriff. Reproductive health isn't just for young women or those trying to get pregnant—midlife presents its own set of challenges, confusion, and often frustrating medical experiences for women navigating irregular periods, missed cycles, and hormone shifts. Dani Sheriff shares her lived expertise as a former competitive athlete who lost her period for seven years and how reclaiming it was tied to her health, sense of self, and even her career.

This episode offers validation and actionable clarity, whether you're experiencing irregular periods yourself or supporting a daughter, friend, or client through similar changes.

Welcome back to the Regretful Parents series. This week, Erika and Kristen read and react to a post from the Regretful Parents subreddit titled “Feel Like I've Ruined My Life.” Spoiler alert: he kind of has. A 29-year-old man agrees to an ultimatum — have a baby before 30 or never — and now finds himself exhausted, resentful, intimacy-deprived, and being pressured for more kids he absolutely does not want. The hosts break down the red flags, the insanity of reproductive ultimatums, and why choosing hypothetical future children over your actual partner is… deeply unwell behavior. Along the way, they discover one of the smartest parenting arrangements they've ever seen, question why people keep doing this to themselves, and remind everyone (once again) that ultimatums are not love.Topics include:Reproductive ultimatums

I presented this lecture to help medical providers see just how much data we actually have when it comes to stem cell therapy. If we never look at the studies, we assume they don't exist, but they do. And they're not just encouraging but very inspiring.As the founder of the American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy, I've spent years digging into peer-reviewed research and applying it in real clinical settings. In this talk, I walk through compelling studies that show how mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are being used to treat autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders, cardiovascular conditions, and even things like erectile dysfunction and autism.I look at the regenerative power of MSCs, how they travel where they're needed, and the wide-ranging ways they modulate inflammation, restore function, and enhance healing.Stem cell research is moving fast, and we're witnessing the early days of a major shift in modern medicine.

In the U.S., the average age for first-time fathers has climbed to about 31, and men aged 50 and older now make up 1.3% of all fathers, signaling a shift toward later fatherhood A 2025 Nature study found that sperm accumulate genetic mutations with age, including "selfish" mutations that expand within the testes and increase risks of neurodevelopmental and childhood disorders A companion analysis of over 54,000 families confirmed these mutations are passed to children. This shows that paternal age directly shapes genetic inheritance through natural selection within sperm-producing cell Modern factors like endocrine disruptors, microplastics, obesity, stress, alcohol, smoking, and EMF exposure are accelerating sperm decline across all ages and contributing to the global drop in sperm counts Simple, preventive actions, including maintaining a healthy weight, minimizing toxins, managing stress, and considering early sperm screening or preservation, can help protect fertility

Whether you're thinking about kids, navigating perimenopause, or simply curious about optimizing your hormonal health, this conversation offers a powerful perspective: your fertility is a reflection of your overall vitality—and supporting it means nurturing your whole body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Merhi Shares: Why inflammation is at the root of many fertility challenges How reproductive immunology helps prevent miscarriage and support healthy pregnancies The science of PRP and stem cell ovarian rejuvenation Why IVF is not the only answer The link between mental state, nourishment, and fertility How regenerative therapies like ozone and exosome treatments are advancing longevity and hormonal health Check out the video version on the Sakara Life YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/uTjlwH7wNhM About Dr. Merhi: Dr. Merhi is the founder and the medical director of Rejuvenating Fertility Center (RFC).

Endometriosis is a painful disease that occurs when endometrium-like tissue grows outside of the uterus. It's extremely common—if you have a uterus, you have a 1 in 10 chance of getting it. Yet, it takes seven years on average to receive a formal diagnosis. What does the latest science tell us about the biology of the condition and how to treat it? And why do so many people have such a difficult time getting diagnosed? Host Flora Lichtman is joined by endometriosis researcher and patient Linda Griffith to answer those questions and more. Guest: Dr. Linda Griffith is a biological engineer and Scientific Director of The MIT Center for Gynepathology Research.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com Why do our bodies slowly break down, even if we eat right and exercise? We dive deep into the biological switch at the cellular level that determines human longevity. I spoke with Dr. Bill Andrews, the father of telomere biology and a co-discoverer of telomerase. He explained why aging happens: telomeres, the protective caps on our DNA, shorten every time a cell divides, acting like a cellular clock. We talked about an obsession with curing aging. We discussed methods to re-lengthen telomeres, primarily using plant extracts to turn the telomerase gene back on in normal cells, a process currently being researched by his company, Sierra Sciences. We also discussed the biggest myth in anti-aging science and how certain types of exercise can accelerate aging by increasing cell division. Key Takeaways Telomeres are DNA sequences found at the tips of chromosomes; they function as protective caps (like shoelace aglets) and control gene expression. The shortening of telomeres occurs every time a cell divides because the cell lacks the ability to duplicate the entire DNA strand to the very end (analogous to a bricklayer falling off the end of a wall before placing the last brick). This phenomenon represents a hard, fast limitation on our lifespan. Telomerase is the enzyme responsible for preventing telomere shortening. Reproductive cells (primordial germ cells) possess this enzyme, which prevents the species from going extinct with ever-shorter telomeres. The primary mission of current research is to reactivate the telomerase gene in somatic cells (non-reproductive body cells), where the gene's "dimmer switch" is currently turned off. Sierra Sciences focuses 95% of its efforts on screening fractionated nutraceuticals (plant extracts), looking for small molecules that can bind to and dislodge the repressor protein that keeps the telomerase gene turned off. Dr. Andrews states that the biggest myth in longevity is the claim that a product reverses aging simply because it reverses a biomarker correlated with aging. He uses the "Betty White Test" to demonstrate that no product currently exists that truly reverses aging. Activities that force extensive cell division, such as muscle bodybuilding, microdermabrasion (using acids or lasers on the face), and immune boosters, accelerate telomere shortening and therefore accelerate aging. When pursuing endurance exercise (running, biking, kayaking), it should be done consistently and kept fun; too little or too much intensity accelerates aging (a "Goldilocks effect").
