    Hormone Tracking through Perimenopause with MiraCare

    It’s common to think about hormone tracking as conception tools, but your hormones don't clock out once you’ve had a baby or are entering perimenopause.  Rose MacKenzie, Clinical Manager at MiraCare, returns to Health Youniversity to talk about the benefits of tracking hormones during perimenopause. She explains why one hormone test can miss important patterns and why the standard ”day 21” blood draw can be on the wrong day. She also explains why a high FSH result matters for a lot more than just fertility.  This episode is for you if: you're in your mid 30s to mid 40s and want to know the state of your hormones you've been told your FSH or AMH numbers "aren't great" you've had a blood test come back confusing you're curious how  tracking hormone over a cycle provides better datayou think perimenopause deserves your and your medical team’s attention you're supporting a patient, partner, or friend through this stageSupport your fertility journey with Preconception Plan at Health Youniversity.

    Wanting Children: Family Planning Policies with Dr. Len Lopoo

    While the definition is broader, the term “family planning” has long meant contraception. Dr. Leonard Lopoo wrote Wanting Children, a deep dive into 50 years of U.S. family policy and why it was never built with fertility in mind. He joins Dr. Susan Fox to talk about what pronatalism actually means, and why the goal was never just more births. Dr. Lopoo explains the difference between wanting a policy that increases births and wanting a policy that supports the families already trying to have them. He also busts the myth that IVF is simply too expensive to cover nationally, and talks about the five year rule that quietly runs out the clock on women trying to qualify for help. This episode is for you if: you've ever paid taxes without realizing it shapes your fertility choicesyou're curious what "pronatalism" actually means and why it's suddenly everywhereyou've hit a wall with insurance that won't cover ovulation meds, let alone IVFyou're a policymaker, physician, or med student who wants the 30,000-foot viewyou're weighing genetic testing and want the ethics laid out plainlyyou want to understand why this is so much harder in America than it needs to be Support your fertility journey with Preconception Plan at Health Youniversity.

    What's in your Glass? The Hidden Tax of Drinking with Paul Lagerstedt

Paul Lagerstedt invented ALKAA® , a patented sachet you drop right in your glass to pull out the compounds in alcohol that makes you feel bad. He joins Dr. Susan Fox to talk about what's behind that post-drink crash, and how it affects you if you're trying to conceive, going through IVF, or dealing with perimenopause.  Paul explains the difference between absorbing and adsorbing.
