Together, they discuss the vital role physicians play in protecting children’s health and why a broader cultural shift toward integrity, courage, and authentic care is needed now more than ever.

In this special episode in honor of Doctor’s Day, we’re coming to you from AAPLOG’s annual MBEC conference with a powerful keynote from Dr. Christina Francis.

Dr. Francis takes us on a journey through the history of the Hippocratic Oath, a legacy that has guided physicians for centuries, and challenges physicians to consider what it truly means to uphold the ethical responsibility to do no harm. She reminds us that there are times in medicine when silence is not neutrality… it’s surrender.

As physicians, our voices matter. Our oath matters. And today, Dr. Francis invites you to rediscover why and recommit yourself to use your voice for your profession and your patients. Enjoy this episode of OBservations.

In recent years, many women have become increasingly proactive about their health, particularly when it comes to understanding their reproductive systems. This growing interest has brought attention to various methods of tracking menstrual cycles and fertility, one of which is Napro Technology. But what exactly is Napro Technology, and how does it differ from traditional approaches?

In our latest episode, Dr. Monique Ribeiro dives deep into Napro Technology, a revolutionary approach that goes beyond the traditional methods of tracking fertility and women’s health. Unlike the typical one-size-fits-all solutions often prescribed, Napro focuses on understanding your unique cycle and the root causes behind your symptoms.
