This week, Elizabeth and AnnMarie decode yet another acronym in the fertility alphabet soup: RRM (Restorative Reproductive Medicine). At first glance, it sounds innovative and holistic. But dig deeper, and it’s less about science and more about ideology.

In this episode, they break down:

• What RRM actually is — and why it’s just old diagnostics repackaged
• How politics and personhood laws are driving its rise as a supposed “alternative” to IVF
• The real risks of embedding conservative ideology into fertility care
• Why RRM excludes entire groups of patients, from cancer survivors to LGBTQ+ families
• How misinformation spreads when patients feel dismissed in traditional fertility settings

With humor, history, and hard truths, Elizabeth and AnnMarie connect the dots between patient care, policy, and propaganda. The takeaway? Infertility is medical, not moral — and patients deserve evidence-based options, not bait-and-switch ideology.Bonus: It’s PCOS Awareness Month, and your hosts aren’t letting that slip by unnoticed.
