Fertility is more than a reproductive issue. It can be a window into whole-body health.

More couples are struggling to conceive, birth rates are falling, and many families are left wondering why. The answers are rarely simple, but they are worth looking for.

In this episode, Dr. Kat Lindley is joined by Dr. Kimberly Biss for a practical conversation on infertility, declining birth rates, and the many factors that can influence reproductive health in both women and men.

Dr. Biss discusses ovarian reserve, ovulatory dysfunction, sperm count and motility, hormone balance, PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid and adrenal health, metabolic factors, lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, stress, environmental exposures, and emerging research related to fertility, pregnancy, and infant outcomes.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why declining birth rates matter
• How infertility is commonly defined and evaluated
• Female and male factors that can affect fertility
• Why hormones, metabolism, thyroid function, and inflammation matter
• How lifestyle and environmental exposures may play a role
• What emerging research is examining about fertility and pregnancy outcomes
• Practical ways to support reproductive health

For anyone walking through fertility questions, this conversation offers a grounded place to begin with better questions, a wider lens, and renewed hope for healing.

Dr. Bowden’s work with the Coalition for Health Freedom and the fight for informed consent
Dr. Elfenbein’s experience providing COVID testing, treatment, and monoclonal antibody therapy
The questions his pending federal case raises about due process, billing complexity, and independent medical practice
What patients can do to support doctors who are willing to speak and practice independently

What if autism research has been asking too narrow a question?

Sign up for weekly webinars: Weekly Webinars - Independent Medical Alliance

Autism now affects an estimated 1 in 31 children in the United States, and families deserve honest answers about what may be driving that rise.

In this episode of the IMA Weekly Show, Dr. Joseph Varon sits down with Dr. Peter McCullough and Nicolas Hulscher for a discussion about a new review in the Journal of Independent Medicine examining the many factors that may contribute to autism spectrum disorder.

The paper, “Determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder,” looks beyond any single proposed cause and reviews potential contributors through a broad, multifactorial framework, including genetics, parental age, prematurity, maternal immune activation, environmental toxicants, gut-brain disruption, in utero drug exposures, developmental regression, and the cumulative pediatric vaccine schedule.

The conversation covers:
• Why autism research must account for timing, cumulative exposure, and biologic vulnerability
• Why developmental regression is an important area for further study
• What limitations the authors see in existing autism and vaccine-related research
• Why the authors argue the full pediatric vaccine schedule has not been adequately studied
• What a more rigorous future study would need to include
• How physicians, parents, and policymakers can think more clearly about modifiable risk factors

Dr. Joseph Varon is President and Chief Medical Officer of the Independent Medical Alliance. Dr. Peter McCullough is President of the McCullough Foundation. Nicolas Hulscher is an epidemiologist and administrator at the McCullough Foundation.

This is a complex and emotional topic, but families deserve honest discussion, better data, and serious research.

Watch now to hear the full discussion.
