How Plasma Exchange May Slow Aging & Boost Immunity
TPE Removes Harmful Substances – Unlike dialysis, TPE filters plasma to clear immune complexes, antibodies, and “age-related” molecules. Research Shows Longevity Benefits – Clinical trials suggest TPE can reduce biological age and slow chronic inflammatory diseases. A Safe but Specialized Procedure – With the right staff and equipment, TPE is safe, but unproven alternatives like IV ozone therapy pose risks.
Spicy Science #1 – Loss of Libido
Why it is your brain working correctly, not a flaw in you, when desire goes quiet for something your body has learned to expect pain from. It is normal not to want to do something that hurts. How falling progesterone and estrogen reach further than most women are told: broken sleep, an anxious mood, thinner and less elastic tissue, less blood flow. Each one quietly pulls on desire, and each one has something that can be done about it. Responsive desire is real. Arousal that shows up after you start counts just as much as the kind that arrives on its own, and measuring yourself only by the spontaneous kind was always a borrowed standard.

3 Nutrients To Help You Get Pregnant Faster
If you’re trying to get pregnant this year, your prenatal isn’t the only thing to think about. The months before pregnancy matter too. Getting enough of the right nutrients can support healthy ovulation, egg and sperm health, and your baby’s development before you even see that positive test. #Fertility #Preconception #WomensHealth #TTC #FertilityNutrition
AOC & Her Egg Freezing Journey
AOC talking openly about freezing her eggs is a conversation I’m so glad we’re having. Egg freezing can be an incredible option for women who want to preserve choices for their future, but it’s only one piece of the fertility conversation. We also need to be talking about how we support ovarian health, egg quality, and reproductive health before we get to the point of freezing our eggs. Your reproductive window is about more than just how many eggs you have left. There’s more we can do to support our ovaries and potentially buy ourselves more time. #EggFreezing #Fertility #OvarianHealth #WomensHealth #HormoneHealth
Why You Don’t Feel Like Yourself Anymore
That disconnected, "not myself" feeling has a real explanation. @heyjessicalong explains why the noise of midlife gets so loud that you stop hearing your own body's signals until they're screaming. Comment "POD" to listen to the full episode!
WOMEN: The Longer You Have A Period, The Longer You Will Live
What if your reproductive health could tell you something about how you're aging? The longer a woman maintains ovarian function, the more we may learn about her overall health and longevity. That's why I don't think we should wait until menopause to start paying attention. Understanding your hormones and ovarian health earlier gives you more information and more options for how you want to age. #Longevity #OvarianHealth #HormoneHealth #WomensHealth #HealthyAging
Why Fertilizer Won’t Help an Empty Field
Prebiotics can only do so much if the bacteria aren't there to use them. Dr. Oscar Kotze puts it simply. Feeding your gut prebiotics without enough good bacteria present is like spreading fertilizer over two acres when you only have one seed planted. Comment "POD" and we'll send you the full episode on why prebiotics alone often aren't enough to heal your gut.
Your Gut Can Make Its Own GLP-1
Your gut may already be able to make some of its own GLP-1. Dr. Oscar Kotze explains how the bacteria Akkermansia is tied to your body's natural GLP-1 production, and why low levels show up in metabolic syndrome and weight loss resistance. Comment "POD" and we'll send you the full episode on the Akkermansia and GLP-1 connection.
The 5 Scariest Stats About Women’s Health I Wish Everyone Knew
One in three women will experience a reproductive or gynecological health condition during their lifetime. Yet women's health research remains significantly underfunded compared with many other areas of medicine… We make up 50% of the population yet not enough research is being done on us. 2. Women with endometriosis wait an average of 7 to 8 years before receiving a diagnosis. Years of painful periods, fatigue, digestive symptoms, or pelvic pain... And also years spent being gaslit and told your pain is normal and you’re just overreacting..... Pain shouldn’t be normal and if something is painful… it NEEDS attention. 3. Heart disease is still the leading cause of death for women. But many women don't realize their symptoms can look very different from men's… Symptoms include nausea, overwhelming fatigue, jaw pain, shortness of breath, or pain in the back. 4. Your fertility & ovarian health is unique to you alone. Saying women’s “biological clock” expires at 30 is a MASSIVE generalization… Age is just one factor. One 30 year old woman could have completely different fertility health than another 30 year old woman. Because there are so many other factors that influence fertility like ovulation, sperm health, thyroid function, metabolic health, nutrient status, lifestyle, and much more… 5. Too many women only start learning about ovarian health when they're actively trying to get pregnant. I wish we started those conversations years earlier. Because understanding your hormones, ovarian health, and fertility before there's a problem gives you way more options… So please go get your labs done sooner rather than later and when you’re done…
“You Can’t Get Pregnant After 30!”
Turning 35 doesn’t mean your fertility suddenly falls off a cliff. Yes, fertility changes with age, but your birthday and one AMH result don’t tell the whole story. Your fertility is influenced by so much more, including ovulation, egg quality, sperm health, metabolic health, and more. That’s why two women at the same age can have very different fertility outcomes. #Fertility #OvarianHealth #HormoneHealth #WomensHealth #HealthyAging
