It’s been a crazy week, but what a beautiful way to come into Corpus Christi with a picture of our little one and to be able to hear their heartbeat. Jesus has given us everything, and as the author of life, he gives us the greatest gifts ❤️

my mother in law sent me this book it covers something I’ve written on-fetomaternal microchimerism Tucker writes that these fetal cells were responsible for rebuilding an entire lobe of a woman’s liver—a case made even more poignant by the fact that the baby had been aborted

Hormones have become a major topic—especially with the rise of trends in HRT. But one of the biggest problems I see is that most conversations focus on symptoms and statistics, not on cellular mechanisms. Mechanisms are everything. They tell us how a hormone interacts with a

I am very worried that egg freezing, which jabs healthy ovaries (causes bleeding), while increasing inflammation (high estrogen) can worsen NATURAL fertility by causing scar tissue and worsening underlying reproductive conditions like endometriosis and PCOS. Also, women have

This, but let’s be honest. All women’s health conditions are subject to frequent misdiagnoses and quick fix pills (birth control and/ or anti depressants). Entering menopause is just the beginning. The reason perimenopause is getting so much attention is because this cohort of
A new Biote survey finds nearly 40% of women seeking care for perimenopause symptoms felt misdiagnosed. Many received anxiety or depression treatment instead of support for hormonal changes. #MentalHealth #Menopause Read more: https://t.co/kn0y6qm3eO

Advice to women in their 20s: https://t.co/uUxbakj05t to cultivate character above income. Then, when you find the right man, you’ll be less likely to fall into the twin errors of hyper-independence or codependence. https://t.co/CZUA9vKAq1 love—the sooner, the better. Your
Advice to women in their 20s: 1. Make your own money and keep it. Don’t depend on a man. Independence isn’t a personality trait, it’s a power source. 2. Don’t chase love, chase purpose. The right person won’t slow you down, they’ll fuel you. 3. Stop being nice, break the

The only thing my sick 10 month old would eat today, besides a lot of breastmilk, was butter. I made her oatmeal, yogurt, avocado, chicken, etc. Just wanted spoonfuls of butter. My girl.

You actually don’t need to lay out that as an option for the patient because it isn’t healthcare or medicine and should never be presented as such.
What? @kimleadbeater has just said that doctors MUST raise the issue of #assistedsuicide with terminally-ill patients, completely contradicting Clause 4(2) that does not obligate doctors to raise it. What a mess.

We have been singing this same old song since the 1960s. We have complete and full access to contraception, which is essentially free/ dirt cheap. What we don’t have: widespread access & support for scientific fertility awareness and comprehensive, lifelong family planning
Researchers call for urgent action to close contraception gaps. Barriers—ranging from side effects and stigma to lack of male options—continue to drive unplanned pregnancies worldwide. #ContraceptiveAccess #FamilyPlanning Read more: https://t.co/QMvV2eLFPc

Our humanity is best fulfilled when we exist and live together, when we succeed in experiencing authentic, informal bonds with the people around us. If we close in on ourselves, we risk growing sick with loneliness, or even narcissism, which leads us to care for others only out

The term preventative is meant to be deceptive in this context. True preventative medicine means the patient being treated with interventions is being healed. In this context, the discarding of said being/ patient into the trash is done in order to “prevent” anticipated

A doctor falsely obtained abortion drugs through telemedicine, force-fed them to his girlfriend, then hung up on her desperate 911 call. He lost his license, but he’s not facing charges. https://t.co/p8weWtFH17

They directly reduce fertility in multiple ways: 1. Isthmoceles (uterine scar defects) increase risk of miscarriage, ectopic and infertility 2. Isthmoceles increase risk of placental abnormalities such as placenta accreta .. and the more C-sections a person has the higher the
Two new papers, taken together, highlight the serious problem of unnecessary C-sections and the way they are reducing fertility in the US. C-section rates can vary as much as 10-fold across hospitals and unneeded C-sections may cause a 28-34% reduction in future fertility. 🧵.

We need to stop talking about “HRT” as if it’s one single ingredient. Estrogen and progesterone live under the same umbrella, but they have completely opposite effects. Estrogen stimulates cell proliferation. Progesterone promotes cell differentiation. When someone says
“It's very hard not to argue that this is the greatest single failure of the modern medical system,” says Dr. Peter Attia, referring to the hesitancy to prescribe hormone replacement therapy for perimenopausal and menopausal women. https://t.co/g7LbhIrY5f

Getting better information out on HRT is long overdue. 50-70M+ women over the last few decades have been steered away from potentially life-changing therapy due to fear and medical dogma.
