Dr. Brannon practiced as an OB/GYN for 30 years prior to founding his hormone replacement practice, Optimal Bio. He brings a candor and fresh perspective to how and WHY we are approaching symptoms so many women (and men!) are faced with at all ages, and so frequently dismissed by their providers. Optimal Bio bridges the gap for those seeking relief with highly qualified medical providers who are able to assess the patient holistically and meet their needs.  Looking for a location?

Claire sits down with Lauren Makler, the CEO of a new company in the womens health space offering a free solution to the ever growing demand for women who want to freeze their eggs. Fertility is pricey at best, and many women are now in the position of realizing in their young 20’s that they might not be ready to start a family for a while. The issue is?

Why is it so difficult for providers to take an integrative approach to health, providing patients with ALL options they may need to achieve optimal health (and in this case we are talking fertility)? The answer could be considered somewhat complex but really seems to boil down to time and money. This conversation with Laura Erlich talks about why an integrative team approach is so important, and how we can better serve our patients when we take this approach. 

Roe v Wade has been overturned. Now what? I don’t know. So if you’d like to listen to me ramble for 30 minutes on what a difficult, nuanced cluster this is … please tune in. I would like to thank everyone for their thoughtful dialogue and commentary as I expected much worse - but it just goes to show me that MOST of us feel some of the same way I do… that this conversation is simply not black and white, and it’s not easy. But here we are and we must continue to talk. Tune in for my unclear, scattered chat. 

Registered Dietitian and cofounder of Culina health Tamar Samuels joins Claire to have a discussion about the incredible online platform she and cofounder fellow registered dietician Vanessa Rissetto created.

Tamar and Claire discuss the importance of education and training when taking nutritional advice, food morality, and access to care in this light yet informative conversation. 

 The Mcdevitt family really had no idea what they would face when caring for their son Hampton, and what should have been a fatal diagnosis. This podcast highlights the emotional, social and financial toll a diagnosis can take on a family. This story actually has a twist involving Cam Wimberly of Southern Charm (as all good stories do) and a happy ending. It is a must listen, even to gain some insight and empathy into another family’s struggle and gain empathy.

If working and momming full time weren't enough, Dr. Annie Andrews was finally fed up enough with seeing things in her practice directly affecting the very patients she works hard to protect, and not being able to do anything about it. She decided to run for Congress in the #SC01 district and our conversation could not be more timely. We discussed gun violence being moved to the top of the list as the #1 cause of death in children, and this episode was recorded prior to Uvalde,TX.

Losing a child is inarguably one of the most difficult things a human can face. In this episode, our friend Sarah Frick returns this time to tell about the short, sweet life of her daughter Grace. After Grace’s life and death, Sarah was faced with another unimaginable tragedy. This is her story. 

Scott Sauls is the pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville, TN and author of 5 (6th on the way) books. He previously worked alongside Tim Keller His book, A Gentle Answer, is what prompted me to ask him to speak on this issue, as one of his gifts is a willingness to hear other points of view, and thoughtfully answer them while still holding firm and rooted in his beliefs. This conversation will focus on what Scott's view of being truly "Pro life" means, and what it should look like for Christians in 2022. In a previous conversation, Scott and I discussed the PCA stance on life threatening situations for mothers during pregnancy, and I will link it here but my takeaway was this: "If we cannot save both lives, we are nevertheless morally bound to save the life we can" - PCAHistory.org PCA History: https://www.pcahistory.org/pca/studies/2-015.htmlScott's Essay:https://scottsauls.com/blog/2022/05/09/god-abortion-and-us/A Gentle Answer:https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-2c4f52ea/list/LV2C3H9VA6M8

The first in a series of multiple episodes, Dr. Amy Addante is a board certified OB/GYN in Chicago, who has also done an additional 2 year fellowship in family planning. Listeners submitted questions regarding the implications of medical care for women on a myriad of topics, and Dr. Addante answers these strictly from a medical standpoint. While Roe vs Wade has yet to be overturned, the discussion has resurfaced in a major way and I feel it important that ALL aspects of the discussion are covered. This episode is not a political discussion, but focuses on the limitations potentially placed on specific medical situations if Roe vs Wade is in fact overturned as expected. 

Claire has a conversation with her former boss about the future (and history) of breast cancer treatments - the President of the Medical University of South Carolina, Dr. David Cole.
