#8 IVF | FYI: Health Instead of Harm: Pro-Child Fertility
<p>The infertility industry often presents IVF as the only solution, but what if we could actually heal the underlying causes of infertility instead? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Naomi Whittaker, a board-certified OB-GYN and Restorative Reproductive Medicine specialist, joins the series to expose the gaps in women's healthcare and share a healthier, more ethical approach to fertility treatment.</p><p>Dr. Whittaker reveals:</p><ul><li>Why infertility is a "check engine light," not a disease.</li><li>How IVF doctors often skip crucial medical workups</li><li> The real risks of IVF for women and babies – including health complications, high miscarriage rates, and increased risks of cancer.</li><li>Why women are not being properly educated about their own reproductive health.</li><li>How cycle charting and restorative medicine can actually help women conceive naturally.</li><li>Why couples should have an ethical "game plan" before walking into a fertility clinic.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Instead of pushing high-risk, high-cost procedures that bypass the problem, Dr. Whittaker’s work focuses on identifying and healing what’s actually preventing conception. She challenges the medical industry's reliance on IVF and explains why true healthcare for women should focus on root causes, not just expensive workarounds.</p><p>If you or someone you love is facing infertility, this episode is a must-listen. </p><p><a href="https://www.naproebook.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.naproebook.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.fertilitycare.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.fertilitycare.org/</a> </p><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Learn more about our mission at </strong><a href="https://www.thembeforeus.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">thembeforeus.com</a><strong>.</strong></li><li><strong>Join us in protecting children’s rights by giving at </strong><a href="https://www.thembeforeus.com/donate" target="_new" rel="noopener">thembeforeus.com/donate</a><strong>.</strong></li></ul>

#7 IVF | FYI: The IVF Victims Of Fertility Fraud, Mistakes, and Accidents with Katy Faust
<p>What happens when the fertility industry puts profits over people? In this eye-opening episode, Katy Faust joins Patience and Jenn to expose the fraud, negligence, and ethical violations rampant in the world of reproductive technologies. </p><p>From fertility doctors secretly using their own sperm to father dozens of children to IVF clinics implanting the wrong embryos, losing frozen children, and using toxic solutions, this episode uncovers the shocking lack of oversight in an industry that plays with human life. </p><p>We explore real-life horror stories, including the infamous case of Dr. Donald Cline, who fathered at least 94 children, and recent embryo mix-ups that devastated families.</p><p>But most importantly, we ask the hard questions: Are these just isolated mistakes, or is the system itself broken? Should we be making babies in laboratories at all? What about the rights of the children created through these procedures?</p><p>Join us as we shed light on the dark underbelly of the fertility industry, challenge the assumptions surrounding IVF, and advocate for a world that puts children’s rights before adult desires.</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.usdcc.org/2024/02/14/a-donor-conception-nightmare-fertility-fraud-leads-to-accidental-incest/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.usdcc.org/2024/02/14/a-donor-conception-nightmare-fertility-fraud-leads-to-accidental-incest/</a></li><li><a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Health/inside-ivf-mix-ups-left-women-carrying-embryos/story?id=119429927" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://abcnews.go.com/Health/inside-ivf-mix-ups-left-women-carrying-embryos/story?id=119429927</a></li><li><a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/9-couples-sue-ivf-clinic-alleging-staff-implanted/story?id=109491391" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://abcnews.go.com/US/9-couples-sue-ivf-clinic-alleging-staff-implanted/story?id=109491391</a></li><li> <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-13/kindbody-fertility-clinic-embryo-errors-spotlight-ivf-business-risks" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-13/kindbody-fertility-clinic-embryo-errors-spotlight-ivf-business-risks</a></li><li><a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/ivf-patients-struggle-to-find-legal-recourse-for-lost-embryos" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/ivf-patients-struggle-to-find-legal-recourse-for-lost-embryos</a></li><p><br></p></ul><ul><li><strong>Learn more about our mission at </strong><a href="https://www.thembeforeus.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">thembeforeus.com</a><strong>.</strong></li><li><strong>Join us in protecting children’s rights by giving at </strong><a href="https://www.thembeforeus.com/donate" target="_new" rel="noopener">thembeforeus.com/donate</a><strong>.</strong></li></ul>

#6 IVF | FYI: Fatherless by Design: The Hidden Pain of Donor Conception with Kathryn Francisco
<p>What happens when you find out at 22 that your dad isn’t actually your dad? In this powerful episode, we welcome Kathryn Francisco, a donor-conceived woman who shares her journey of uncovering the truth about her origins, meeting her biological father, and grappling with the reality of being intentionally separated from half of her identity. </p><p>Kathryn describes the emotional and psychological impact of growing up unknowingly fatherless, the moment she saw her biological father for the first time, and why donor conception—often seen as a gift—can actually create deep wounds. She also discusses how her faith, marriage, and motherhood have helped her heal.</p><p>As the U.S. considers federal IVF subsidies, which could expand donor conception even further, Kathryn brings a crucial perspective: What happens when adults prioritize their desires over a child’s right to their biological parents?Join us for a compelling, thought-provoking discussion on family, identity, and why biology matters.</p><ul><li><a href="https://thembeforeus.com/kathryn-francisco-its-okay-to-believe-that-the-method-of-your-conception-was-wrong-and-still-give-thanks-for-your-life/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://thembeforeus.com/kathryn-francisco-its-okay-to-believe-that-the-method-of-your-conception-was-wrong-and-still-give-thanks-for-your-life/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2020/01/59169/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2020/01/59169/</a></li><p><br></p></ul><ul><li><strong>Learn more about our mission at </strong><a href="https://www.thembeforeus.com" target="_new" rel="noopener">thembeforeus.com</a><strong>.</strong></li><li><strong>Join us in protecting children’s rights by giving at </strong><a href="https://www.thembeforeus.com/donate" target="_new" rel="noopener">thembeforeus.com/donate</a><strong>.</strong></li></ul>
