📌 Trump’s IVF Executive Order: Real Protection or Political Move?
What’s happening? Trump signed an executive action on IVF after Alabama’s Supreme Court ruling put access at risk.
🔹 Why does it matter? This is a politically strategic move—but does it truly safeguard IVF access?
🔹 What do RESOLVE (the leading IVF advocacy group) and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine think?
🔹 Are there hidden risks in the language of this policy?
🔹 What should patients know about their rights and access moving forward?

📌 Menopause Is Finally a Movement—But Who’s Really in Charge?
The menopause conversation has exploded, but with a $24.4B industry at stake, who’s shaping the narrative?
💰 Startups & influencers are filling gaps—but at what cost?
🏥 Medical societies move too slowly—so where does that leave women?
📊 From flashy events to telehealth to hormone debates, our research uncovers what’s really happening.

🙌🏼 What’s Keeping Me Curious
🔷 My Nerdy Side: Could forensic scientists tap into microbial science to aid in sexual assault investigations? Meet ‘sexome’ microbes—an emerging field that could change the game. Thanks to Dr. Lara Briden for sharing this fascinating insight!
🔷 What I’m Reading: We already know women’s health is misunderstood—mental health? Don’t even get me started. I’m diving into Autism in Heels, a firsthand account from a woman on the spectrum who, like many of us, only discovered her diagnosis in her 40s. Yes, it’s not just the boys.
🔷 What I Can’t Stop Making: Every time I host brunch, this quiche is the dish. No leftovers. Everyone asks for the recipe. I should probably just print copies and hand them out at the door.
🔷 What Stopped Me in My Tracks: I usually steer clear of trendy podcasts, but every so often, they land an intriguing guest. This no-nonsense conversation with an NYU professor (my alma mater!) about finances and building the life you want was worth the listen.
