birthcontrol

Dive into the world of assisted reproductive technology with us as we uncover the intriguing process of receptor upregulation and its critical role in IVF treatments. In this episode, we take a closer look at why birth control pills aren't just for contraception anymore; they're a pivotal prelude to successful IVF. Join us as we unravel the science behind this strategy, drawing parallels between common experiences and complex biological processes to illuminate how and why preparing the body beforehand can lead to better IVF outcomes. Whether you're a prospective patient seeking clarity on your journey to parenthood, a health enthusiast fascinated by human biology, or a medical professional keeping up with the field, this episode will arm you with knowledge and insights into the smart synchronization of hormones and health. Tune in to 'Unlocking the Secrets of Receptor Upregulation' and step into a world where science meets hope, one hormone at a time.

We’re in the business of talking to very impressive people who are working to solve incredibly tough problems— but Elizabeth Ruzzo, founder and CEO of adyn, may be one of the most impressive yet. Not only did she develop the only test for women to ensure they are prescribed the birth control that will be the least likely to have detrimental side effects, she also founded the company and fundraised as the sole employee of the company. She talks to Darrell and Jordan about the challenges she faced as a solo founder/employee raising money for a solution for birth control, why she decided to leave academia, and the complicated regulatory maze she had to navigate to get adyn off the ground.

Finally, we discuss birth control and the rubbish times we've both had on it- why is it still so shit? Strap yourselves in!

Holistic Health Coach Jade was a 20 year old with chronic cystic acne, IBS, excess weight, recurrent UTI’s and repeated ear infections. She exhausted the conventional route, trying various creams and drugs, lasers and peels, countless rounds of antibiotics, and yet these never resolved my issues long term – if anything, she was gradually getting worse! She then years later found the root of the problem. Based on more than 10 years of research, her Wellness Programme was developed to help you take back control over your health and get you feeling good again. She is now a qualified Naturopath and has dedicated her time to creating this programme, using her own personal journey as the basis for everything it teaches.

During our interview she breaks down the importance of gut health and how parasite cleanses might be the solution for many. We discuss great tips on gut health including long term affects of being dependent on antibiotics along with birth control and more. Janet Sol also chimes in and shares her story on how her parasite cleanse helped her lose 25 pounds!

INTERVIEW: In today's episode, Bedside chats with New York City based OBGYN Dr. Candice Fraser to discuss contraceptives, and how to best navigate the world of birth control, mental health, and the questions you really should be asking your doctor. Some of you may be familiar with Candice, we’ve covered her on the Milk Bedside series where she unpacked for us her life as a Pastor’s Kid, all the way down to the ins and outs of the GYNO visit. This interview covers vital tips that I hope leave you feeling more prepared in reclaiming your own sexual health practices, and equipped for having more informative and intentional conversations with your own doctor.

Fertility is a fraught issue. But it’s one that has typically been treated in a totally reactive way by modern medicine. Part of being bossed up is all about being proactive and taking initiative in pursuing your career and life goals, and figuring out how to fit kids into that picture takes some serious foresight.

That’s why today I’m sharing how I’m taking proactive steps now to test my fertility as one of the first steps in our family plan. If you’ve navigated this process, or are considering starting a family sometime in the future, I’d love to hear about your experience, too.
