Gigantic thanks to Jennifer Kulp-Makarov @newhopef

Gigantic thanks to Jennifer Kulp-Makarov @newhopefertility, Lisa Schuman @thecentertorfamilybuilding and dear @dr.daniel.stein for sharing some of the new fertility advancements available to LGBTQ couples and the importance of creating a great team when starting a family. I’m happy to send PDFs to anyone who wants to read or share this important story (or just pick up a print copy of today’s @nypost!). Thank you to these three healthcare providers all working tirelessly here in New York City!

Honored to interview Rabbi Igael Gurin-Malous (@notyourrabbi) for today’s @nypost LGBTQ Fertility section about the 5 things those in the LGBTQ community need to know about starting a family. My favorite answer: “The ability to choose how you want to build a family is such an important spiritual tool because, for LGBTQ individuals, our ability to choose was taken away from us for many years. Now we’re able to show the world that we can do this in a way that is loving and caring and respectful and that we can grow children who become productive members of society—even though some people still believe we shouldn’t.” Wise words from the founding rabbi of @tshuvahcenter, a spiritual Jewish recovery community in Bed-Stuy. Thank you rabbi!

I’m dedicating this story to my father, a cardiologist who was called out many a night to take care of a heart patient like Ethan Bradshaw, a 30-year-old North Carolina state trooper who needed seven shocks and 40 minutes of CPR to get his life back. My father would also have marveled at the tiny heart pump that was used to allow his heart to rest before stents were placed. Thank you @asheinin @webmd for yet another opportunity to shine a light on scientific advancements in medicine and to my own father who I miss more than words❤️

Thrilled to share my first story for @fortunemag (thank you @mattheimer)! Parents need so much help with the return to work challenges they’re facing. Happy to report on a few companies that are taking heed and making big changes!

It’s the absolute best when your personal and work worlds collide-friends for too many years to count-nice job leading your @organicspamag panel @elanafrankel from your favorite co-panelist!❤️

Street reporters never take a rest and my fabulous @nyu_journalism students were back out there first thing this morning @moynihantrainhall interviewing commuters and the fabulous Africa and Karian @_mamannyc_. Love and thanks to @_byelisa_ for giving my students this incredibly immersive experience and yummy cookies, too!

Bursting with pride as I watched my newbie summer @nyu_journalism students interview Staten Island Ferry riders with the utmost respect and grace. It’s never easy approaching strangers but they rocked it!

I have only one person to thank for telling me about @lymphedivas and that’s @carolynthewriter — thank you for helping me shine a light on this Massachusetts-based company that has shifted the entire market for anyone who has lymphedema. After all, why shouldn’t compression wear be stylish? Please share this @everydayhealth story with anyone who needs a lift!

I absolutely loved talking to Valerie Bertinelli about her new book which is all about diet culture, grief, the lessons we learn and the universal issues we all face. Thank you @cmalcoun @eatingwell for getting this across the finish line from print to digital!

Hello Hootie fans: So fun hearing what Darius Rucker loves about renovating his (gorgeous) home in Charleston for this @archdigest story {link in bio}

There’s still nothing like a print clip especially one like this in the @nypost this morning. Please don’t put off your colonoscopy— the amazing NYC GI experts I spoke to @mountsinainyc & @memorialsloankettering are seeing people (young people too) coming in with larger polyps and colon cancer rates are soaring due to the pandemic so the time is now to get checked!

Another story that needs to be told with thanks to

Another story that needs to be told with thanks to the incredible @stacierae.art for making it your mission to teach artists how to tattoo breasts and for acknowledging how emotional this journey will be. I am honored to share your passion with @everydayhealth readers.

To conquer LinkedIn, consider these four tips:
1-resume keywords matter—a lot 2-human referrals matter even more 3-it never hurts to spend time on the profiles of folks in the field you’re interested in and 4-posting content matters way less than your strength as a candidate. So fascinating. Thanks @2LinkedInGuys & @millie_social for the assignment!

The thing I admire about @complex__creatures: their commitment to giving breasts the attention they deserve and the postcard that comes with their breast care products says it all: ‘Pushed up. Covered up. Flaunted. Fetishized. Pumped. Nursed. Reduced. Radiated. Reconstructed. Tattooed. Bound. Biopsied. Grieved. Fondled. Ogled. Augmented. Lifted. Sexted. Supported.’ Honored to share your story with thanks to @elanafrankel for making the connection!

Ah ‘the pill’—how many of us have been on it

Ah ‘the pill’—how many of us have been on it without doing a deep dive into its history and the ramifications of suspending ovulation? The incredible documentary, The Business of Birth Control, is in theaters and available digitally and is worth a watch. Thank you @rickilake and @abbyepsteinxoxo! At the very least it’s a great conversation starter. There are also some great tips in my latest @webmd story on how to pick the right birth control generally with thanks to Jacques Moritz, MD @asktia for your wisdom!

If you’re worried about breast cancer, a plant-based, anti-inflammatory and heavy-on-the-fish diet is a great way to harness your diet for better health and this @everydayhealth story sketches it all out—thanks Dr. Joe!

With WFH days possibly behind us is it cool to bring your dog to work? You can if you work @benandjerrys as I learned reporting this fun @millie_social story!

I’ve interviewed some incredible people but talk

I’ve interviewed some incredible people but talking to @drjengunter this week for this @webmd story was exhilarating. She is blunt, she is real and she is on a mission that every woman needs to know about: She speaks up whenever she sees companies or governments “prey on women’s health and vaginal shame” calling out misleading claims in her inimitable style. (Yes a vitamin company really is selling women ‘probiotics for your panty hamster’ in 2022!)Thank you Dr. Gunter for using your voice for good!

New reporting today on ‘Bigorexia’ in which the goal for teen boys is often “to get superhero-size buff—and this is leading to anxiety, stress, selfies, and, often, obsessive staring in the mirror to assess their “pec” progress.” Thanks @asheinin @webmd for giving me this platform to share this important info as well as the red flags to watch for in our teens.

When a high school journalism teacher invites you

When a high school journalism teacher invites you to pop in and talk about reporting to smart bright kids (one of whom even thinks you’re cool!), you jump at the chance! Thanks for having me Ms. Mangano @nycischool & @inewsnetwork !
