The first thing many doctors do when a couple is struggling to get pregnant is run some lab work. AMH is a common lab run that suggests your "egg count" and is often interpreted as your future ability to get pregnant successfully. Dr. Codruta Pandaleche, a restorative reproductive physician previously working with THE leading RRM clinic in the world (NeoFertility in Ireland), shares why AMH is NOT a predictor of fertility. If your doctor is telling you you need to pursue IVF because of low AMH levels, listen to this episode first and share it with your friends! AMH is NOT a predictor of your fertility. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences. Guest Biography:A native of Romania, Dr. Codruta Pandaleche has been a practicing physician for 16 years and most recently in the specialty of restorative reproductive medicine at NeoFertility in Ireland. She is now the medical director at Saol Nua Clinic and specializes in women who want to conceive with low AMH and those who experience recurrent miscarriages. Helpful links:Ep. 69: AMH - Can it tell you if you're infertile?Saol Nua Clinichttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35147056/Send us a textSupport the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!

Who said too much TV isn't good for you? Hosts of the TV Doctor podcast are here to chat about why actually, TV can be the perfect prescription for your wellness. From community, to representation, to escapism, we dive into the many ways in which watching tv might just be what you need. In this episode, Dr. Cassandre Dunbar is joined by media experts Dr. Michele Foss and Ashley Johnson, the dynamic duo behind The TV Doc Podcast. Together, they unpack how television and media shape our sense of identity, belonging, and emotional wellness—especially for Black and mixed-race folks navigating representation and community in an often isolating world. In this episode, we discussed:How TV and media help shape self-perception and racial identityThe emotional and therapeutic impact of nostalgic showsFandom as a powerful form of community and connectionWhy representation on screen matters for our mental healthHow to raise media-savvy, critical-thinking kids in the YouTube ageWhether you're a lifelong Trekkie or someone who finds comfort in rewatching Living Single, this conversation will remind you of the deep impact media can have on our wellbeing.Guest Spotlight: Dr. Michele Foss is what happens when you combine a Professor of Rhetoric and Media in the Department of Communication Studies at Sacramento State University with an unapologetically nerdy pop culture fanatic. From the classes she teaches (ranging from Television Criticism to Media Aesthetics to Communication Theory to Methods of Fandom Studies) to the keynote addresses and invited lectures she delivers, Dr. Foss infuses heart, creativity, inclusivity, and fun into all she does. She uses her three fancy degrees and more than 25 years of boots-on-the-ground experience to make academic concepts accessible and "sticky" for her audiences. She also wears all the hats (creator, producer, editor, writer, and host) for her podcast, The TV Doctor, where she "prescribes" what you should be watching to heal your socio-cultural ailments. She's been recognized by her university for her excellence in teaching, community service, and scholarship/creative activity.

Women make 80% of healthcare decisions and outspend men two to one on care—yet when it comes to designing, funding, and scaling health tech, they're still treated like a niche.In this episode, we break down the broken flywheel holding women's health innovation back including fewer growth-stage investments, limited exits, and a system not built to serve women as the primary users of care.

“No pain meds? No problem.”You heard that right. I used high-dose Vitamin C (25g pre-op and post-op) for a recent surgical procedure, and the difference was jaw-dropping.

Now I've lived it.In this episode, we're spilling all the details: what worked, what surprised us, and how you can prep your body for optimal healing with IV therapy.Don't miss this if you have surgery on your horizon—or just want to recover like a boss.

Feeling stuck AF? You're not broken — your intuition's just been on mute. Today, I'm chatting with the amazing Isabel Chiara to uncover how to stop sabotaging yourself, trust your gut again, and actually nourish your mind, body, and soul — without feeling like you're a DIY project that needs constant fixing. We're swerving off the usual path and getting real about what's actually driving your behaviors. (Hint: It's not your willpower, it's not your macros, and it's definitely not a broken metabolism.) Inside this episode, Isabel and I dig into: ✨ Why ignoring your gut keeps you stuck (and how to trust it again) ✨ How one playground insult can haunt you for decades (and how to finally let it go) ✨ How to shift your vibe from "I suck" ➡️ "I'm magical AF" ✨ Why the scale needs to lose your number (and how to break up with it for good) ✨ How “nourish” became Isabel's power word for radical mindset shifts ✨ The real reason you reach for unlimited carbs (spoiler: it's not because you're weak)   PLUS — Isabel shares her Nourish App — a simple, powerful way to rewire old patterns without spending the next 10 years in therapy. (She's even giving you a FREE month to try it out — don't sleep on this!) If your brain's been stuck on the same struggle-bus loop, this episode is the permission slip you didn't know you needed.

We need to talk about the glaring inequity in Australian healthcare that's affecting millions of women. After 18 months on menopause hormone therapy, testosterone has transformed my life, restoring my vitality, sharpening my focus, lifting my mood, and reawakening my sexuality. Yet accessing this life-changing treatment reveals a troubling gender bias in our healthcare system.While nine testosterone products for men are subsidised through the PBS, Androfeme - the only female-specific testosterone cream in Australia - remains unsubsidised, costing women over $100 per script. This forces many of us to use male-formulated alternatives that require daily careful self-measurement, an imprecise and frustrating workaround that no woman should have to endure.The numbers are staggering: an estimated 1.34 million Australian midlife women experience Hypoactive Sexual Desire Dysfunction (HSDD), yet face significant barriers to diagnosis and treatment. Despite testosterone therapy being used safely and effectively for women since the 1940s, with Australian-made Androfemme recognised globally as a gold standard treatment, women continue to bear financial burdens that men don't face for essentially identical symptoms.The solution is straightforward: include Androfemme on the PBS, just as other menopause treatments have recently been added.Share this episode with friends, family, healthcare providers, and decision-makers. Together, we can amplify women's voices and demand the equal treatment we deserve. Women's health is not a luxury - it's time our healthcare system reflects that truth.Links:National Women's Health Advisory Council's ReviewWhat is HSDD?Australian Paper on HSDDTestosterone has been treating women since 1940'sTestosterone for women: what you need to knowThank you for listening to my show!

Have you ever wondered why weight creeps on during menopause, despite your best efforts? Dr Lucy Burns pulls back the curtain on what she calls the "metabolic triad of menopause" – a perfect storm of declining estrogen, rising cortisol, and increasing insulin resistance that creates the ideal conditions for stubborn weight gain.As a GP who retrained in lifestyle medicine after experiencing her own health challenges, Dr. Burns offers a refreshingly honest perspective on why traditional approaches to weight management fail so many midlife women. Using the powerful analogy of a locked woodshed, she explains how high insulin levels essentially padlock your stored fat, making it impossible to access no matter how much you restrict calories or exercise.What makes this conversation truly valuable is how Dr Burns connects the dots between hormonal changes, metabolic health, and practical lifestyle solutions. She introduces her "six S's for success" – sustenance, sleep, stress management, strength training, sunshine, and social connection – as foundational pillars for reclaiming metabolic health during menopause and beyond.The discussion takes fascinating turns through hormone therapy considerations, the psychological aspects of food addiction, and why so many of us grew up alternating between strict dieting and giving up entirely. Throughout, Dr Burns maintains that improving metabolic health should be the primary goal, with weight loss simply being "a happy side effect" of addressing the underlying hormonal imbalances.If you're exhausted by diet culture but still concerned about your health during menopause, this episode offers a science-based approach that works with your changing physiology rather than against it. Discover why muscle is your "metabolic organ," how stress impacts your ability to lose weight, and practical steps to break free from the metabolic challenges of midlife.Ready to stop blaming yourself and start understanding the real science behind menopausal weight changes? Listen now and discover why it's time to focus on metabolic health, not just the number on the scale.Links:Real Life Medicine WebsiteThe Real Health and Weight Loss PodcastReal Life Medicine - InstagramReal Life Medicine - FacebookThank you for listening to my show!

If you've ever felt like you're doing all the “right” things—showing up for work, taking care of everyone, checking all the boxes—but inside, you feel numb, disconnected, or just... not okay, this episode is for you.This week on Be Well, Sis, I'm joined by the brilliant Dr. Judith Joseph, a board-certified psychiatrist and researcher, to talk about something that doesn't get nearly enough attention: high functioning depression.We often associate depression with what we see—sadness, withdrawal, tears. But what happens when it looks more like achievement, perfectionism, and over-functioning? When the pain hides behind productivity? That's where this conversation begins.Dr. Judith breaks down what high functioning depression actually is, why it's often missed in clinical settings, and how trauma, societal pressure, and internalized expectations can all contribute to emotional burnout, anhedonia (the loss of joy), and disconnection.She also introduces her powerful framework, the Five V's to Thriving—a model that prioritizes validation, venting, values, vitals, and vision to support true emotional well-being.In this episode, we explore:What high functioning depression really looks and feels likeThe link between trauma, anhedonia, and collective numbnessHow societal expectations can mask mental health struggles in high-achieving womenWhy validation and venting are essential for healingThe Five V's to Thriving and how to use them as tools for personal growthWhy joy is an experience, not an achievementHow to stop chasing external validation and start doing the inner work of self-careDr. Judith also speaks candidly about how mental wellness is deeply connected to relationships, rest, and reimagining what success and happiness truly mean—especially for Black women and women of color who are often taught to suppress their feelings to survive.This episode is for you if:You feel emotionally drained, even when everything looks “fine” on the outsideYou've normalized burnout and high stress as your baselineYou're curious about new ways to think about healing and emotional regulationYou're doing the work, but still feel like joy is just out of reachYou want to understand your mental health through both a clinical and compassionate lensAbout Dr. Judith Joseph: Dr. Judith Joseph is a board-certified psychiatrist, media expert, and mental health advocate whose work bridges the gap between clinical research and culturally competent care. Her mission is to empower people—especially those in marginalized communities—to prioritize their mental wellness with evidence-based, heart-centered tools.
